(Resident 97) The Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when the staff failed to provide CPR for a resident who had a full code status. The Administrator, DON (Director of Nursing, Nurse Consultant, and AIT (Administrator in training) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 4:20 p.m. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed, and the deficient practice corrected on [DATE], prior to the start of the survey and was therefore Past Noncompliance. Findings include: On [DATE] at 11:15 a.m., Resident 97's clinical record was reviewed. Resident 97 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 97's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The Admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 97 had severe cognitive impairment. Resident 97's Care Plans lacked a care plan and interventions for code status. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. Resident 97's medical record lacked an Advanced Directive by the resident or representative. A Progress note, dated [DATE] at 3:15 a.m., indicated Noted resident in bed with eyes closed, no distress noted .Noted Glucerna feeding with approx.(sic) 45 minutes remaining.

Informed will call in for further instructions d/t (due to) death. Noted call placed to coroner (Coroner Name), information given of health condition. Coroner inform (sic) EMT to call death and have attending MD sign death certificate, no s/o (signs of) foul play. On [DATE] at 12:50 p.m., a physician's note, dated [DATE], indicated: Cause of death: Patient was found in bed without a pulse or respiration at about 4:05 a.m. on [DATE]. Patient reportedly was mottled, with perioral cyanosis. The patient progress notes appeared to be okay at about 3 a.m. paramedics were called, but CPR was not initially initiated in the facility. Paramedics found the patient pulseless and without respirations. It is unlikely that CPR initiated at the time the patient was found by the nursing staff would have been successful. This morning I signed the patient's death certificate and listed acute on chronic [MEDICAL CONDITION] as the cause of death. On [DATE] at 12:55 p.m., a review of a written statement by RN 1, dated [DATE], untimed. It indicated: . I was going to do a treatment when LPN 1 called over and asked me to verify a death with her .We both went in the room, no pulse, no respirations, no breath sounds, or heartbeat. The resident's eyes were glazed over, no signs of life, skin was bluish discoloration. LPN 1 and I closed the door, she went to call triage, family, and coroner. I proceeded back to my unit and notified the DON (Director of Nursing). An interview with the DON on [DATE] at 11:27 a.m., indicated the facility policy was to initiate a code on all full code residents, even if found cyanotic, with rigor, or pulseless. She indicated staff was to check code status, if a DNR (Do not Resuscitate) to verify time of death and vitals, and if a Full Code to initiate CPR and grab the AED (Automatic External Defibrillator). She indicated the facility terminated a nurse for not following this policy and not initiating CPR (Cardiac [MEDICAL CONDITION] Resuscitation) when finding a resident unresponsive in her room. During interviews of 11 nursing staff, on [DATE] at 11:23 a.m. through 11: 56 a.m., all were able to appropriately respond to a Code Blue, except for LPN 2. LPN 2 was currently working her last shift at the facility, and indicated on [DATE] at 11:46 a.m. she did not know the facility policy and did not know what she would do in the situation of finding a resident unresponsive in their room. She attempted to ask a fell ow nurse during the interview. During a review of the facility training inservices, dated ,[DATE]-[DATE], on [DATE] at 12:10 p.m., all facility staff were trained in Code Blue, CPR initiation, and honoring code status. During an interview on [DATE] at 12:31 p.m., the Nursing Consultant indicated: The facility followed the AHA (American Heart Association) guidelines when it came to finding a deceased resident. If a resident was found in rigor, cyanotic, or mottled that CPR was not initiated. He further indicated the nurse was to contact the physician to get an order to discontinue the CPR order, and indicated this was not followed with Resident 97. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:20 p.m., the SSD (Social Services Director) indicated Resident 97 did not have an Advanced Directive due to not being able to make the decision herself, due to her cognitive status. She further indicated the family had not yet made a decision on her code status so she was defaulted to a Full Code status. The clinical record lacked documentation that the SSD had attempted to obtain the family's declaration of code status. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:28 p.m., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated RN 1 did not document her findings in the clinical chart because the chart was closed after the death. When questioned about the late entries by LPN 1 she indicated she did not know why RN 1 did not enter her documentation as a late entry instead of a written statement. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:33 p.m., the Nursing Consultant indicated RN 1 did not document her assessment of Resident 97 in the clinical record due to being uncomfortable due to the death and chose to come in and write a written statement. He acknowledged the discrepancies of LPN 1 and RN 1's assessments and indicated RN 1 was the correct assessment. He acknowledged the written statement was not part of the clinical record. A review of the current policy, Code Blue Drill, revised ,[DATE], on [DATE] at 1:12 p.m., indicated: . AHA urges all potential rescuers to initiate CPR unless: 1) a valid DNR order is in place, 2) obvious signs of clinical death (e.g. rigor mortis, dependent lividity, decapitation, transection, or decomposition) are present; or 3) initiating CPR could cause injury or peril to the rescuer. A review of the current policy, Advanced Directives, revised ,[DATE], on [DATE] at 2:52 p.m., indicated: .the facility's care will reflect the resident's wishes as expressed in the Directive, in accordance with state law. The signed form will be kept in the medical record. In the event that an adult is incapacitated at the time of admission, information regarding Advanced Directives may be given to the resident's representative. Advanced Directives will be reviewed quarterly in the care plan conference with the IDT and resident/responsible party as applicable. The Past Noncompliance Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE]. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed and corrected on [DATE] when the facility completed inservicing of all nursing staff for CPR competency and Code Blue, and institituted random audits of all nursing staff for Code Blue. The correction date was prior to the start of the survey and was therefore Past Noncompliance. 3XXX,[DATE](f)(5)

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an enteral tube feeding was maintained at an infusion rate as specified by the physician for 1 of 3 residents reviewed with tube feedings in a sample of 12. This deficient practice resulted in vomiting and symptoms of aspiration after the resident received five times the prescribed amount of feeding for a period of three hours. Resident A Findings include: On 10/11/11 at 1:10 P.M., the clinical record of Resident A was reviewed. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent MDS (Minimum Data Set assessment) dated 8/30/11, indicated the following for the resident: cognitive skills for decision making are severely impaired, feeding tube, range of motion was impaired on both sides, and bed mobility - required extensive assistance.

Small amount of residual infiltrate persists...." On 10/11/11 at 9:15 A.M., the Administrator provided a copy of the "Fax/Incident Report." This form was faxed to the ISDH (Indiana State Department of Health) on 9/25/11 initially, and a final report was faxed on 9/30/11 before 8 A.M. and included, but was not limited to, the following information: At 8 A.M. on 9/24/11, it was reported to the RN (registered Nurse) by a CNA the resident was noted to have vomited. HOB (head of bed) was at 30 degrees. On 9/29/11- Investigation results: "Validation of enteral feeding rate at 300 cc per hour per feeding pump as reported. It was determined through the interview process, the LPN administering the enteral feeding at 0500 (5 A.M.) had primed the tubing at 300 cc/hr. Upon connecting the tubing to the resident's gastrostomy tube, the LPN unintentionally left the pump set at 300 cc/hr. Resident received enteral feeding at a rate of 300 cc/hr for approximately 3 hours; Type of injury: vomiting; 9/29/11: CXR taken on 9/24/11 = no active disease; 9/27/11 CXR results = early infiltrate in right lung base. Upon review of resident's history of chest x ray results, the resident exhibits intermittent infiltrates. Immediate action taken: Enteral feeding immediately turned off, MD contacted, orders received to hold feeding x 10 hours, stat chest x ray. Respiratory and gastrointestional (GI) assessment completed...resident placed at 45 - 90 degree angle, side to side turning every 2 hours and increased monitoring implemented of respiratory assessment q 2 hours. Family notified of occurrence, MD orders, resident assessment, and current clinical status. 9/29/11: MD on site visit, on 9/28/11 new orders received for antibiotic therapy related to 9/27 chest x ray results. Family aware of resident's clinical history and current clinical status related to event. Family (daughter), voices understanding and is in agreement with current investigative procedure and results. LPN in question is no longer employed with (this facility). Preventative measures taken: Re-education of licensed personnel regarding enteral feeding, policy and procedure with competency testing to include return demonstration completed. The following preventative monitoring systems were implemented immediately: Respiratory assessment to be completed every 2 hours; verification via 2 nurses for accuracy of enteral feeding rate per continuous feeding pump; resident observation rounds for those residents receiving continuous feed per 2 nurses upon shift change to ensure policy and procedure compliance, and accuracy of MD orders. 9/29/11: Every 2 hour respiratory assessments were continued during the 5 day investigation period. Respiratory assessments to resume every 8 hours routinely. Continue 2nd nurse verification for accuracy of enteral feeding rate per continuous feeding pump, and shift change observation rounds. Enteral Feeding clinical competency validation is now included with the new hire nurse orientation." On 10/11/11 at 3:20 P.M., a copy of the resident's total fluid intake for September 2011 was received. From 9/9/11 to 10/10/11, the resident's total fluid intake ranged from 580 cc to 3290 cc. On 10/11/11 at 3:20 P.M. a copy of the policy and procedure for "enteral tubes" was received from the DON. The procedure was dated July 2010. The policy and procedure included, but was not limited to, the following: "For continuous tube feeding, fill bag with 4 hours of tube feeding, flush tubing, attach to volume control infuser...." The DON was interviewed at this time. She indicated the way to prime the tubing would not be to set the infusion at 300 cc/hr. The DON indicated the policy and procedure didn't specifically say how to infuse the tubing, but at 300 cc/hr was not it, and the LPN #1 shouldn't have left the rate at 300 cc/hr. On 10/12/11 at 10 A.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) was interviewed. She indicated LPN #1 is the LPN who left the tube feeding running at a rate of 300 cc/hr for 3 hours. The DON indicated LPN #1 stated she hung the new bottle of tube feeding at 5 A.M. The DON indicated a total of 900 cc of tube feeding infused in a 3 hour period via the gastrostomy into the resident. The DON provided a copy of the resident's September 2011 MAR. This form included, but was not limited to, the following: "Glucerna 1.2 at 60 cc/hr." This Glucerna was initialed as given on the 11-7 shift for 9/9/11 to 9/30/11. LPN #1 had documented for the 11 - 7 shift on 9/24/11. A physician order, dated 9/8/11, indicated the following: "Glucerna 1.2 at 60 ml/hr off at 0800 (8 A.M.) - 1000 (10 A.M.) and 1800 (6 P.M.) - 2000 (8 P.M.)." At this time, the DON indicated LPN #1 was no longer employed by the facility. She indicated the reason LPN #1's name appeared on the current employee roster was because "paperwork had not been completed" to remove her from the roster. The DON indicated the last day LPN #1 worked was 9/24/11. At this time, the DON indicated on the final report to ISDH, where it stated "Every 2 hour respiratory assessments were continued during the 5 day investigation period", that she only intended for the 2 hour assessments to be continued for 24 hours and not the 5 day investigative period. On 10/12/11 at 11:30 A.M., the DON was interviewed regarding the range of fluid intakes for the gastrostomy tube. The DON indicated for a 24 hour period, the resident's total intake should be 1200 cc of Glucerna plus 1500 cc of water given with medications and flushes for a 24 hour total of 2700 cc. She indicated she was unable to explain the discrepancy of the daily 24 hour fluid total intakes. This federal tag relates to complaint IN 498. 3.1-44(a)(2)
