F684 SS=G Quality of Care CFR(s): 483.25
F684 09/01/2020 § 483.25 Quality of care Quality of care is a fundamental principle that applies to all treatment and care provided to facility residents. Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that residents receive treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident received medications and breathing treatment, as prescribed by the physician for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident 1 did not receive the medications and respiratory treatments as prescribed by the physician, which resulted in a change of condition (COC).

Resident 1 was readmitted to the GACH within 24 hours of admission to the skilled nursing facility (SNF) after experiencing a COC due to not receiving the prescribed medications, oxygen and treatments. In the emergency department (ED) Resident 1 required an emergency intubation ([ET] a tube placed in the trachea for air exchange) and was admitted into the intensive care unit ([ICU] a unit for residents who requires a higher level of care [critical care]) for further care and treatment. Findings: A review of Resident 1's GACH Discharge Summary prior to admission to the SNF, dated 11/15/19 indicated Resident 1 had an acute hypoxic respiratory failure (fluid build-up in the air sacs of the lungs), septic shock (wide spread infection), obstructive sleep apnea (complete or partial obstruction during sleep) requiring continue positive airway pressure ([CPAP] continuous positive airway pressure a treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea) and morbid obesity (excessive body fat). A review of Resident 1's GACH medications and treatments indicated the following were administered at the GACH: 1. Duoneb (a medication that relaxes muscles in the airway to increase air flow to the lungs) 3 milliliters (ml-a unit of measure) nebulizer ([neb]-a drug delivery device used to administer medication in the form of a mist inhaled into the lungs) every 4 to 6 hours while awake and FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: RV8311 Facility ID: CA940000072 If continuation sheet 14 of 23 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

Resident 1's admission vital signs included a blood pressure (BP) of 130/70 (normal reference range [NRR] is 139/70-120/70), heart rate 84 beats per minute [bpm] (NRR is 60-100 bpm) and respiratory rate of 21 breaths per minute [bpm] (NRR is 12-20 bpm). Resident 1's pulse oximeter (an electronic device that measures the saturation of oxygen carried in the red blood cells) measured at 95% (NRR is 95-100%) on room air with clear breath sounds in both lungs, no cough and regular respirations.
