The following reflects the findings of the
California Department of Public Health during a
complaint investigation.
Complain number: CA00627215.
Representing the Department: HFEN # 36231.
The inspection was limited to the specific
complaint investigated and does not represent
the findings of a full inspection of the facility.
Two deficiencies were issued for complaint
number CA00627215.

Respiratory/Tracheostomy Care and Suctioning F695
CFR(s): 483.25(i)
§ 483.25(i) Respiratory care, including
tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning.
The facility must ensure that a resident who
needs respiratory care, including tracheostomy
care and tracheal suctioning, is provided such
care, consistent with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered
care plan, the residents' goals and preferences,
and 483.65 of this subpart.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide one of two sampled
residents (Resident 1) with the needed
respiratory (relating to or affecting respiration
[breathing]) care including:
1. Failure to follow Resident 1's care plan for

Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that
other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients . (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days
following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14
days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued

respiratory function by not taking the
respiratory rate and lung sounds during
assessment for shortness of breath (SOB).
2. Failure to notify Resident 1's physician on
3/1/19, when Resident 1's shortness of breath
required a non-rebreathing (NRB) mask (a
device that deliver a high concentration [100%]
of oxygen [O2]).
3. Failure to take Resident 1's vital signs
(reflect essential body functions, including heart
rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and blood
pressure) and assess Resident 1's inability to
sleep as a result of being afraid something
would happen if he closed his eyes.
4. Failure to implement the facility's policy on
pulse oximetry (a test used to measure the
oxygen level [oxygen saturation, measurement
of oxygen concentration in the blood and
normal range 90% to 100%] of the blood) by
not reporting any abnormal results to the
physician and policy on oxygen therapy by not
consistently indicating the flow rate of oxygen
therapy administered to Resident 1.
As a result, on 3/2/19, Resident 1 experienced
severe respiratory distress, cardiopulmonary
arrest (heart attack - the heart stop working)
requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR a lifesaving technique useful in many
emergencies in which someone's breathing or
heartbeat had stopped), paramedics
(emergency rescue team) transferred Resident
1 to General Acute Care Hospital 2 (GACH 2),
where he died on 3/3/19.
Findings:
A record review of the Resident 1's Record of
Admission indicated Resident 1 was admitted
to the facility, on 2/28/19 at 12:46 a.m., with the

makes breathing difficult) and pneumonia (lung
infection).
A record review of the Resident 1's Nursing
Admission Assessment form dated 2/28/19,
timed at 12:46 a.m., indicated Resident 1 had
rhonchi (continuous low pitched, rattling breath
sounds often resemble snoring) and the
breathing was irregular. Resident 1 had mild
labored (difficulty) breathing with oxygen at two
liters per minutes (2 L/min, unit of
measurement).
A record review of the Resident 1's Care Plan
developed on admission (2/28/19) for Resident
1's impaired respiratory function related to
diagnoses included in the approaches
assessing the respiratory rate, presence of
shortness of breath, lung sounds, chest pain,
congestion, coughing, weakness, edema
(swelling) in hands and feet, activity
intolerance, and checking pulse oximetry.
A record review of the Resident 1's Admission
Orders dated 2/28/19, indicated:
- Apply Resident 1 a Bi-level Positive Airway
Pressure (BIPAP - a type of ventilator that
helps with breathing and is administered with
oxygen) from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Administer nebulization (small machine that
turns liquid into mist) with Duoneb (medication
to open the airway - respiratory treatment)
three milliliters (ml, unit of measurement) via
Hand-Held nebulizer (HHN- small machine that
turns liquid medicine into a mist) every six
hours while awake and every two hours as
needed (PRN) for shortness of breath.
- Apply oxygen at 2 L/min via nasal cannula
(N/C - a plastic tubing with two prongs to fit in
the nostrils).

was 90% and heart rate was 96 bpm.
At 11:45, LVN 1 administered HHN respiratory
treatment for shortness of breath. After the
HHN, the heart rate was 82 bpm, oxygen
saturation was 92%, and on N/C (no O2 flow
rate documented).
At 12:30 p.m., LVN 1 documented Resident 1
refused to eat lunch or anything by mouth.
Resident 1 had N/C (no O2 flow rate
documented).
At 1:50 p.m., LVN 1 administered HHN
respiratory treatment for shortness of breath.
After the HHN, the heart rate was 78 bpm and
oxygen saturation was 96%.

oxygen will be administered as ordered by the

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review the
facility failed to have a physician available to
respond to calls made by facility nurse
regarding a resident for one of two sampled

The deficient practice resulted in no physician

diagnoses that included chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD - lung disease that
