Findings include: Guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA), dated 2020, revealed that the AHA urged all potential rescuers to initiate CPR unless a valid Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order was in place; if there were obvious clinical signs of irreversible death present, including rigor mortis (stiffness of the limbs and body that develops 2 to 4 hours after death and may take up to 12 hours to fully develop), dependent lividity (reddish-blue discoloration of the skin resulting from the gravitational pooling of blood in the lower lying parts of the body in the position of death), decapitation (separation of the head from the body), transection (division by cutting across the body), or decomposition (decay); or if initiating CPR could cause injury or peril to the rescuer. The facility's policy regarding CPR, dated February 15, 2021, revealed that staff were to respond appropriately in the event that cardiac resuscitation was warranted. CPR-certified staff were to be present in the facility at all times. Identification of the resident's code status (whether or not CPR is to be performed) was to be maintained/updated in accordance with the facility's policy (see policy below). In the event of a cardiac arrest, after confirming code status, an announcement with location was to be done via overhead intercom.

If the cardiac arrest was witnessed, the facility team was to provide basic life support, including initiation of CPR, to residents who requested CPR in their advance directives, have not formulated an advance directive, do not have a valid DNR order, and do not show signs of clinical death. The facility team was responsible for maintaining CPR until the arrival of the paramedics. If the cardiac arrest was unwitnessed, CPR was to be initiated unless a valid DNR was in place, obvious signs of clinical death were present (decomposition, post mortem lividity, post mortem rigidity), and initiating CPR could cause injury or peril to the rescuer. Once initiated, CPR was not to be interrupted or stopped until an order to do so was obtained from the resident's attending physician or the emergency room physician in charge of the paramedics.

Resident 1 was found sitting by the door to her room. She was alert and safe. Resident 1 had her oxygen on, her gown was on and she was covered in stool. Her brief was on, but it was around her thighs. Resident 1 was asking for help and Registered Nurse 2 assessed her for immediate injuries and found none. Resident 1 was unable to say how she got to the floor. Then Licensed Practical Nurse 3 came to assist with the assessment and then asked for assistance with the first resident. Because Resident 1 was uninjured and the first resident was attempting to get off the toilet by herself, therapy staff was asked to go for the help and seek out a nurse supervisor. The nurse on duty was not on the unit at the time. Resident 1 was alert and sitting by the door when they went to assist the other resident on the toilet. Resident 1 was in no respiratory distress, she was just asking for non-specific help. Once the other resident was safely assisted from the toilet to her wheelchair, Resident 1 was reassessed and was found lying on the floor, cyanotic (blue) and not responding. Registered Nurse 1 was now on the unit and was informed that Resident 1 was not breathing but had a faint carotid pulse (a pulse located in your neck area). Registered Nurse 2 asked for a bag valve mask (BVM - a hand-held device commonly used to provide air to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately). Resident 1 was rolled on to her back when Licensed Practical Nurse 3 noticed that the resident had agonal respirations (when someone who is not getting enough oxygen is gasping for air). Registered Nurse 2 and Licensed Practical Nurse 3 attempted to get Resident 1 off the floor using a blanket lift, when Registered Nurse 1 suggested that they get the mechanical lift (a device that uses hydraulic power to lift and move a resident) and place the resident into bed. Registered Nurse 2 inquired about the resident's code status, and Registered Nurse 1 went to check the resident's POLST. After not witnessing any respirations and no pulse, Registered Nurse 1 assessed the resident with a stethoscope and heard no pulse/heart beat and no respirations. Resident 1 was cold and cyanotic. Registered Nurse 1 called the resident's death at 9:22 a.m. A witness statement completed by Registered Nurse 1, dated [DATE], revealed that therapy staff came to her while she was walking out of a resident's room on the 200 hall and told her that she was needed in the Memory Impaired Unit (MIU) because someone fell . Upon entering the MIU, Resident 1 was lying on the floor on her right side in the doorway. As she approached the resident, Registered Nurse 2 stuck her head out of a room and said, She was just sitting up. Both Registered Nurse 2 and Licensed Practical Nurse 3 came out of another resident's room and helped to get Resident 1 off the floor. As they rolled the resident onto her back, Registered Nurse 1 stated that the resident was dead. She felt for a pulse and felt none and witnessed no breaths from the resident. Registered Nurse 1 instructed the nurses to get the mechanical lift for the resident, while Registered Nurse 1 got a stethoscope to call the death. Registered Nurse 1 returned to the room and listened for a heart beat and breaths and there were none. She then checked the resident's code status, but being that the resident had already passed, and had been clammy and purple with no breaths or heart beat, she called the resident's death at 9:22 a.m. Interview with Registered Nurse 1 on [DATE], at 1:34 p.m. revealed that when she arrived at Resident 1's location, the resident was purple and looked to be gone. She called out the resident's name and got no response. That is when Registered Nurse 2 said that the resident was just sitting there. She then kneeled down and there were no respirations or pulse. She told Registered Nurse 2 and Licensed Practical Nurse 3 to get the resident back into bed. She went to get a stethoscope and when she returned, she listened for a heart beat and respirations and could not hear any. She called the death at 9:22 a.m. At that time, someone asked about the resident's code status, so she went to look and found that she was a Full Code. When she walked back in, the resident was clearly gone. In her mind, she was thinking that if they were gone gone then you would not start CPR. She confirmed that the resident did not have any rigor mortis. She recalled that her face was purple. Registered Nurse 1 indicated that she was not familiar with dependent lividity. Interview with Registered Nurse 2 on [DATE], at 1:59 p.m. confirmed that when she returned to Resident 1 after assisting Licensed Practical Nurse 3 with the other resident, Resident 1 had no lividity or rigor mortis. At that time, she was unaware of the resident's code status. There was no documented evidence that CPR was provided to Resident 1, in accordance with her advance directive and physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] On [DATE], at 1:05 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator was informed that the health and safety of Residents 1 was placed in Immediate Jeopardy due to licensed nurses failing to provide CPR in accordance with Resident 1's advanced directive, physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The facility submitted and implemented an immediate action plan to ensure each resident's advanced directive and physician-ordered code status was in place. The facility developed an education plan for all licensed nurses regarding the facility's CPR policy and the clinical signs of irreversible death, to ensure that CPR was provided in accordance with each resident's advanced directive and physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Immediate Jeopardy was lifted on [DATE], at 3:45 p.m. when it was confirmed that the facility provided licensed nursing staff with education regarding providing CPR in accordance with residents' advanced directives, physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Any remaining staff were scheduled to receive the education prior to the start of their next shift. 28 Pa. Code 211.12(d)(1)(5) Nursing services.
