F309K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

On [DATE], an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist in regard to the facility's failure to initiate CPR and seek medical attention for one (#1) resident who was found without pulse and respirations, and was a full code status. On [DATE] at 4:00 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified. The immediate jeopardy situation was verified. At 4:10 p.m., the ADM and the DON were notified of the IJ situation, which constituted substandard quality of care. On [DATE] at 5:10 p.m., an acceptable plan of removal was accepted. On [DATE] at 12:55 p.m., the immediate jeopardy was removed when all staff in the facility had been in-serviced. The deficiency remained at the level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm at a pattern (more than a very limited number of residents affected). The plan of removal documented the following: "IJ Removal 1. Revised Code Status Procedure. 2. Red/Green, Stop/Go Code Program implemented. 3. All resident facility name plates have been identified with the Red/Green status symbols. 4. All Full Code status residents are now on Green Paper located in the Medication Books, Quick Reference Book and on Crash Cart. 5. All DNR Code status residents are now on Red Paper located in the same books as above. 6. All Care Plans have been updated as to each resident code status. 7. All Physicians orders have been updated to correct code status. 8. All resident charts updated to each resident's code status. 9. In-Service to new program in progress of all (Facility name deleted) employees to be finished by 3 pm, September, 22, 2011." Based on record review, observation, and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to provide CPR for one (#1) of one sampled resident who: a. was found without a pulse and respirations, b. had no advanced directives, and c. whose code status was documented as "full code." The resident expired at the facility. One other resident was sampled who had expired in the facility. This had the likelihood to affect 54 residents residing in the facility. Findings: The facility's policy for Emergency Care documented, "Responsibility: Licensed Nurse Purpose To provide emergency care to a resident in need of urgent service... Procedure... ...7. If a resident expires, initiate CPR unless ordered otherwise. Call paramedics. Call the attending physician and resident's family or responsible party. 8. Record details and exact time of condition change of resident, initiation of emergency procedure and resident's response to emergency care. 9. Record exact time physician was called and exact time physician responded to call. 10. Follow facility policy for notification of supervisors regarding resident's condition change, expiration or transfer..." A closed record review was completed for resident #1. The resident was admitted on [DATE], with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A Do Not Resuscitate/Do Not Intubate Request/Order form documented..., "I DO NOT request and agree to a "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" order". The form was signed on [DATE], by the resident's responsible party (Husband). The following was signed by the responsible party on [DATE]. "Name of Resident (Resident's name deleted) do not have an Advanced Directive... I do not Wish to execute an Advanced Directive...(Resident's first name deleted) is a full code at her request & family request. She would not sign a AD (Advanced Directive)." The above was signed by staff member #1. An annual assessment, dated [DATE], identified the resident with long and short term memory loss, impaired decision making skills, required total care with all ADLs, did not ambulate, was totally incontinent of bowel and bladder. The area under Advanced Directives was marked none of the above, indicating the resident had no advanced directives. A quarterly assessment, dated [DATE], identified the resident with long and short term memory loss, impaired decision making skills, required total care with all ADLs, except eating, did not ambulate and was frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder. The care plan, dated [DATE], did not address the resident's code status. A physician's orders [REDACTED]." The nurses' notes documented the following: [DATE] at 2:30 p.m., "In bed ble (both lower extremities) elevated while in bed. trace non-[MEDICAL CONDITION] requests DR. Pepper staff assisted her c soda. ,[DATE] 102 22 97.8..." [DATE] at 2:00 a.m., "Pt calling out. Turned, repositioned provided H2O & Dr. Pepper...0700 (7:00 a.m.) Refused morning lab draw.

On [DATE] at 1:30 p.m., the DON was asked about the system for identifying the code status of the residents in the facility. She reported the residents' names were on the outside of the rooms. If the residents were DNR status, a red heart was at the side of the resident's names. At that time, the doors to the resident's rooms were checked, with the DNR orders. 18 of the 54 resident's, identified on the facility's residents name and room number list, had the incorrect code status by their names. At 2:05 p.m., LPN #1, who had found the resident not breathing, was asked why she had not instituted CPR. She stated, "I found her. She was not breathing." LPN #1 reported she felt like the resident was already gone. She reported the resident did not have a blood pressure and was cold and blue. She reported she was doing treatments at the time and left the resident to get the charge nurse. She was then asked if she had checked the code status on the resident's door. She reported she had not checked the resident's code status. At 3:30 p.m., LPN #2, who was the charge nurse at the time of the incident, was interviewed regarding the lack of CPR being instituted for the resident. She reported she had been called to the room by the treatment nurse. She reported she wasn't sure of the resident's code status, so had walked back up to the nurses' desk to check the code status. She was asked what the resident's code status was. She reported she was a full code. She reported she had then called the resident's husband, who told her not to do CPR. She reported she then went back to the resident's room and told the treatment nurse what the husband had said. She was asked if anyone had started CPR on the resident. She reported no one had started CPR. She was asked what she would have done if the resident's husband had wanted CPR. She reported she would have then started CPR. She stated, "It was only a matter of minutes." From the time the treatment nurse had found the resident, to the time the family was notified, according to the nurses' notes, was a lapse of seven minutes. At 3:55 p.m., the DON was notified of the lack of CPR for the resident. She reported if the resident was not a DNR, CPR should have been started, 911 called and CPR continued until released by the paramedics. At 3:55 p.m., the ADM stated, "They should have started CPR."
