Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure oxygen concentrator filters were placed and maintained for 5 of 11 residents reviewed for respiratory care. (Residents 9, 14, 32, 45, 61) Findings include: 1. During an observation on 12/12/24 at 9:57 a.m., Resident 9's oxygen concentrator filter was 100% heavily covered with a white powdery substance. The oxygen tank's concentrator filter was pushed against the outer wall of the room. During an observation on 12/13/24 at 12:34 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the resident's oxygen concentrator filter was 100% (percent) heavily covered with a white powdery substance. The oxygen tank's concentrator filter was pushed against the outer wall of the room. The record for Resident 9 was reviewed on 12/17/24 at 8:14 a.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), malignant cancer of the bronchus or lung, and anxiety disorder. The physician's order, dated 1/19/22, indicated staff were to administer oxygen at 2.5 liters via nasal cannula, continuously and as needed every shift for shortness of breath. The Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/28/24, indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. The resident required oxygen therapy. The care plan, revised 10/23/24, indicated the resident had oxygen therapy related to ineffective gas exchange, hypoxia, and COPD. The interventions, dated 12/13/21, indicated to administer 2.5 liters by nasal cannula for hypoxia and COPD diagnoses: Monitor for signs and symptoms of respiratory distress; and report to the MD (physician) PRN (as needed). The Nurse Practitioner (NP) note, dated 7/17/24 at 1:00 a.m., indicated therapy had informed her that the resident's O2 saturation was in the 70's on 4 liters of oxygen, per nasal cannula. She was usually on 2 liters. The resident was sitting in her wheelchair at the table in the gym doing some hand and arm exercises. She admitted to feeling short of breath and more tired. Her O2 (oxygen) saturation on the oximeter was 79%. Therapy increased the oxygen to 5 liters. A new machine was used to check the O2 saturation, and it indicated 96%. The resident's respiratory rate and pulse rate were slightly elevated. The physician's order, dated 10/23/24, indicated staff were to clean the oxygen concentrator filter with soap and water weekly and PRN (as needed) every day shift every Tuesday and Sunday and as needed for O2 care. The December 2024 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) indicated the oxygen concentrator filter was last cleaned on 12/10/24 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 6. During an interview on 12/13/24 at 1:50 p.m., the DON indicated the Patient Resident Scheduler 7 was responsible for cleaning the oxygen concentrator filters in the building. She also was responsible for documenting the cleaning of the filters in the TAR (Treatment Administration Record). During an interview on 12/13/24 at 2:00 p.m., Patient Resident Scheduler 7 indicated she normally cleaned the filters on Wednesdays. She was behind and didn't get to the filters until 12/12/24. She thought she had cleaned Resident 9's oxygen concentrator filter. Upon seeing the filter, she pulled it out of the concentrator and cleaned it in the resident's bathroom without hand hygiene or gloves. She indicated she must have just missed cleaning it. She felt that the heavy buildup of the white powdery substance was because the filters just became that way, quickly sometimes. It could have also been due to the filters being wet when she placed it back into the oxygen concentrators. The oxygen concentrator filters should be cleaned regularly, because the substance went into the resident's oxygen supply, and she didn't want it to do that. 2. During an observation on 12/12/24 at 9:19 a.m., Resident 14's oxygen concentrator filter was moderately covered at the corners with a white powdery substance. The record for Resident 14 was reviewed on 12/16/24 at 2:04 p.m. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, solitary pulmonary nodule, pulmonary embolism, heart failure, atherosclerotic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, anxiety disorder, and hospice care. The Annual MDS assessment, dated 4/27/24, indicated the resident was cognitively intact. The care plan, last reviewed 10/4/24, indicated the resident had congestive heart failure (CHF) with or without difficulty breathing. The interventions, dated 10/21/21, indicated to elevate the head of the bed as needed, for ease of breathing and monitor vitals; report abnormal findings to medical provider, resident or resident representative; observe for signs or symptoms of CHF; report any abnormal findings to medical provider, resident or resident representative; report resident complaints of chest pain to the medical provider, resident or resident representative; and dated 10/23/24 provide hospice services. The physician's order, dated 10/15/24, indicated to wean the resident off of O2. Check the O2 saturation every six hours. If the O2 saturation was greater than 90%, remove the oxygen and if the resident maintained at greater than 90% after five minutes, leave off. If the O2 saturations dropped to less than 90%, keep the oxygen on. Check the oxygen every six hours. The physician's orders and December TAR lacked documentation for staff to clean the oxygen concentrator filters. The nurse's note, dated 11/25/24 at 2:52 p.m., indicated a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) reported that Resident 14 passed out when transferring to her wheelchair. Upon assessment, the resident was minimally responsive to verbal stimuli but was able to track the nurse with her eyes. After approximately 30 seconds, the resident became more alert, and close to baseline. Her vital signs were obtained and were within normal limits. The hospice nurse was in the room and assisted the resident to bed with the assistance of two staff members. Once abed, the resident complained of chest pain to the hospice nurse. The PRN nitroglycerin was administered once and was effective with no further complaints voiced. 3. During an observation on 12/12/24 at 9:38 a.m., Resident 32's oxygen concentrator filter was moderately coated at the corners with a white powdery substance.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure the physician was promptly notified of the resident's urinalysis preliminary results and timely assessment of the resident's urinary symptoms resulting in hospitalization for a sepsis secondary to urinary tract infection for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for urinary tract infections. (Resident C) Findings include: The record for Resident 20 was reviewed on 11/2/23 at 1:00 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia and unspecified urinary incontinence. The care plan, initiated on 10/6/20 and last revised on 7/8/21, indicated the resident had a potential for complications with bowel and bladder incontinence. The interventions included, but were not limited to, monitor labs as ordered, report results to the physician, and staff were to report changes in the urinary status to the physician. The nurse's note, dated 10/9/23 at 11:49 a.m., indicated the resident was refusing to turn and reposition. The nurse's note, dated 10/10/23 at 12:16 p.m., indicated the resident continued to refuse to turn and reposition. The Social Services note, dated 10/10/23 at 3:27 p.m., indicated the resident was having behaviors of being resistive to care. A care plan meeting was requested with the family. The physician's order, dated 10/10/23, indicated to collect a urinalysis (U/A), one time only, to rule out infection. The lab results report indicated a urinalysis specimen, collected on 10/11/23 at 12:00 a.m., was received at 2:30 a.m. The urine clarity was turbid (cloudy or thick), was 1+ (abnormal) for protein, positive for nitrates 2+ for leukocytes, greater than 50 for red blood cells, 6 to 20 for white blood cells, many bacterial cells, had calcium oxalate crystals, mucous, budding yeast, and white blood cell clumps present, and the specimen met criteria for a culture. The record lacked documentation of any communication with the physician regarding infection concerns, any follow up on the urinalysis preliminary results, any assessment of the resident's urinary symptoms, or monitoring between 10/10/23 and 10/13/23 for signs of infection. The physician's note, dated 10/13/23 at 6:48 p.m., indicated the nurse called reporting the patient had altered mental status and was all slumped over. The resident was twitching and had foaming secretions coming out of her mouth. She was cool and clammy. Her blood pressure was 242/84 mmHg (millimeters of mercury), her respirations were 24 breaths per minute, her heart rate was 100 beats per minute, and her oxygen was 82% on 3 lpm. The resident was a DNR, so the physician instructed the nurse to contact the family and see what they preferred to be done for her. If they wanted the resident to go to the ER (emergency room ) or stay in the facility. The physician's note, dated 10/13/23 at 6:56 p.m., indicated the resident's family requested to send the resident to the ER. The nurse's note, dated 10/13/23 at 7:27 p.m., indicated the resident was taken to the ER via EMS (emergency medical services) and a report was called. The nurse's note, dated 10/13/23 at 7:30 p.m., indicated two CNAs had asked the nurse to look at the resident. She was quiet, eyes closed, and had not eaten her supper. Her nasal cannula was in place with oxygen set at 3 lpm (liters per minute). The resident roused to her name and opened her eyes. She then rolled her eyes and closed them. The physician was contacted and indicated to ask the family what they wanted. The family was contacted and requested to send the resident to the ER. The physician was contacted again and agreed to send her out. EMS was called. She was taken to the ER via EMS. The hospital report, dated 10/13/23, indicated the resident presented to the hospital on 10/13/23 with confusion. She was sent from the facility for altered mental status. She had a history of dementia but was more confused than her baseline. She was found without oxygen, but usually wore 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula. In the ER she was placed on heated high flow oxygen at 55 liters per minute with an FiO2 of 48%. Her chest x-ray was highly concerning for pulmonary edema versus multifocal pneumonia. Her labs were remarkable for a WBC (white blood cell) count of 22.8, her urinalysis was positive for nitrates, leukocytes, WBC, and bacteria. She was started on vancomycin and Zosyn. She was asleep but arousable. She was alert to herself, but unable to answer any questions. Her active diagnosis included acute or chronic respiratory failure, sepsis secondary to a UTI and multifocal pneumonia and acute on chronic respiratory failure COPD. The patient met criteria for inpatient status. The plan for the resident's care included gentle IV (intravenous) hydration, IV antibiotics, continuing oxygen supplementation, weaning as tolerated, with the patient's baseline being 3 lpm via nasal cannula. The final culture report for the urinalysis obtained on 10/10/23 resulted on 10/14/23. The report indicated the resident had 70-99,000 CFU/mL (colony-forming units per milliliter) of Escherichia Coli. The nurse's note, dated 10/16/23 at 10:52 a.m., indicated the resident was admitted to the hospital with a UTI (urinary tract infection), sepsis, and pneumonia. During an interview on 11/2/23 at 8:39 a.m., Resident C's family member indicated she had requested the resident have a urinalysis back on 9/28/23 and no testing had been done. She now believed she'd had a UTI from then until she went out to the hospital. They told her at the hospital she had a severe UTI. During an interview on 11/6/23 at 12:43 p.m., LPN 8 indicated a urinalysis was typically done for signs and symptoms of a UTI if they were trying to rule out an infection. If she did a urinalysis on a resident, she would think they would want to monitor the resident's temperature, and especially with the resident's age range they would want to monitor for any type of behaviors, how often she was being changed. She would expect nursing staff would want to monitor and chart on any type of urinary symptoms. If she obtained an order for a urinalysis, she would document the order and the conversation with the doctor, however sometimes that didn't happen. She could not see any reason why the urinalysis was ordered or any monitoring of the resident for infection after it was obtained. During an interview on 11/6/23 at 1:22 p.m., the RDCO indicated when the resident had the urinalysis they needed to put in a nurse's note, documenting they'd received the order, which would of course include the assessment and a nurse's note after they got the results indicating if they got new orders or not. The most current Clinical Documentation Standards policy included, but was not limited to, . b. The nurse is expected to: i. Document accurately and truthfully to the best of his/her knowledge, what is heard or seen during assessments or encounters that concern the resident . iv. Document the status of the resident including changes . The most current Notification of Change in Condition policy included, but was not limited to, . Notifications: The attending practitioner is promptly notified of significant changes in condition, and the medical record must reflect the notification, response, and interventions implemented to address the resident's condition .

During an interview on 11/2/23 at 11:00 a.m., the Executive Director indicated that management was aware of the RN shortage. In May they added it to QAPI and reviewed the staffing weekly. During an interview on 11/8/23 at 8:30 a.m., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 9 indicated there wasn't always RN coverage on the weekends. Management would come in if there was a call-in and they were unable to replace them but that wasn't a guarantee that would happen. During an interview on 11/8/23 at 11:00 a.m., the Executive Director indicated the DON during the period where the facility was short of RN's did not cover for the shortage. They also had interim DONs until the current DON was hired and she had been at the facility about a month. They had the capability of borrowing from a sister facility. Due to the nursing shortage, it had been a challenge. They did not use agency nurses. During an interview on 11/8/23 at 11:29 a.m., the Executive Director indicated the management team had two RNs on staff for the time period from April to the current date. The most current Facility Assessment Tool policy, included, but was not limited to, .The facility must have sufficient nursing staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to provide nursing and related services to assure resident safety and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident, as determined by resident assessments and individual plans of care and considering the number, acuity and diagnoses of the facility's resident population in accordance with the facility assessment required . 3.1-17(b)(3)

The nurse alerted the NP that the resident was very lethargic and complaining of a sore throat. She was having trouble taking her medications but was able to take medications crushed in applesauce. When the NP assessed the resident her 02 (oxygen)saturation was 80%. The 02 was turned up to 5L (liters) and a breathing treatment provided, however her oxygen saturation was only 83%. She was very lethargic and unable to answer all questions. The resident kept stating that her bottom hurt. She was unable to state the year or where she was. The resident was difficult to arouse at times. Due to the resident's increased lethargy and confusion, she was sent to the hospital for evaluation. The NP note, dated [DATE] at 5:35 p.m., indicated the resident was readmitted from the hospital.

She failed her swallow study while at the hospital and a PEG (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy) tube was placed and she was NPO (nothing by mouth) with tube feedings. She was alert, but still significantly confused and unable to identify place, time, or situation. The NP note, dated [DATE] at 5:05 p.m., indicated the resident had a decrease in responsiveness and she was very lethargic and not responding well. She has had several episodes of hypotension and decreased responsiveness recently that results in readmission to the hospital. The NP went to assess the resident and gave a vigorous sternal rub, she moaned in response, but did not open her eyes or speak. Her vital signs were stable. While the NP was talking to the family the nurse rechecked the resident's vital signs about 20 minutes later and her blood pressure was dropping. The NP had an extensive and lengthy conversation with the resident's significant other about advanced care planning and goals of care. The significant other stated she had always wanted to be a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), however she was currently CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) at the facility due to her inability to make her own decisions, no immediate family member or POA (power of attorney). The NP explained to the resident's significant other the situation and discussed her recent hospitalization s as well as guarded prognosis due declining health and frequent admissions. He voiced understanding, and was very tearful, and stated he only wanted what was best for the resident. They discussed various code status and what each one entailed. 2.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to include the resident in the care plan meetings when developing her plan of care (Resident 51), and to revise a resident's plan of care when the discharge plan changed (Resident 59) for 2 of 34 residents care plans reviewed. Findings include: 1. During an interview with Resident 51 on 11/2/23 at 10:23 a.m., she indicated she had been in the facility for two years and thought her last care plan meeting was maybe a year ago. This was about the time the Social Worker started and she hadn't had one since. The day she was finally able to get out of bed and up into her power chair after recuperating from surgery, the Social Worker came and told her there was going to be a care plan meeting. The meeting only dealt with her weight and never discussed any other issues, such as her desire to discharge from the facility. Her family had not been involved in the meeting either and she could not remember having any other meetings after this one. She did not feel like this was a true care plan meeting. The record for Resident 51 was reviewed on 11/3/23 at 12:40 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, personal history of traumatic brain injury, unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, morbid obesity, post-traumatic stress disorder, paraplegia, and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments, dated 2/22/23, 3/6/23, 6/15/23, 9/15/23 and 9/22/23, and the Annual MDS assessment, dated 5/19/23, indicated the resident was alert and oriented. During an interview on 11/6/23 at 8:30 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the Social Worker was responsible for sending out care plan letters to the residents and families and took the notes. Everyone was responsible for making their own changes to the care plans as needed. During an interview on 11/6/23 at 9:55 a.m., the Social Worker indicated the former Director of Nursing (DON) was the one who insisted on doing the documentation for the care plan meetings in August and September. On 11/6/23 at 10:12 a.m., the Regional Director of Clinical Operations (RDCO) presented a letter, dated 2/6/23, given to the resident, in which the resident was invited to her care plan meeting. The IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) notes, dated 2/21/23, indicated the resident was present for this meeting. The record was lacking documentation of any additional care plan meeting invitations to the resident or her family or IDT notes of what was discussed in the meetings or if the resident attended any further meetings. 2. On 11/1/23 at 11:01 a.m., Resident 59 indicated he still wanted to return home once he got his medical issues resolved and that was his plan since admission on 2/1/23.

The Quarterly MDS assessments, dated 3/14/23, 6/7/23 and 9/7/23, indicated the resident was alert and oriented. The Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 3/14/23, indicated the active discharge planning was occurring for the resident to return to the community. The Social Worker, Physician/NP (Nurse Practitioner), and therapy notes initially indicated the resident planned to return home after the completion of therapy. The Quarterly MDS assessments, dated 6/7/23 and 9/7/23, indicated there was no active discharge planning occurring and the resident was not going to be returning to the community. The Social Worker notes, dated 2/28/23, 6/7/23 and 9/12/23 subsequently indicated the plan was for the resident was to remain in the long term facility. During an interview with the Social Worker on 11/8/23 at 9:15 a.m., she indicated the resident no longer had a home to be discharged to nor would any Assisted Living facility accept him due to the amount of care he needed. The resident's family member was very involved in the resident's care and helped the resident make a decision to remain in the facility long term. During an interview with PT (Physical Therapist) 13 on 11/8/23 at 9:20 a.m., she indicated the resident was going to remain in the facility for long term due to his care needs and that his family member gently reminded the resident why he could not return to home. A care plan, dated 3/14/23, indicated the resident wished to be discharged to home. The goal was for the resident to be be discharged to an appropriate location based upon physical and cognitive status. The approaches included: discuss the feelings and concerns of the resident, and resident representative, with impending discharge; notify the medical provider of discharge plans; provide contact numbers for all community referrals; provide education to resident and resident representative regarding equipment, treatments, and medication; and determine gaps in abilities that will affect discharge. The record lacked documentation of the resident's care plan being updated since being implemented on 3/14/23 to reflect the resident's need for long term care. On 11/6/23 at 2:17 p.m., the Regional Director of Clinical Operations (RDCO) presented a copy of the facility's current policy titled Plan of Care Overview. This policy included, but was not limited to, Policy: It is the policy of this facility to provide resident centered care that meets the psychosocial, physical and emotional needs of the residents .The purpose of the policy is to provide guidance to the facility to support the inclusion of the residents or resident representative in all aspects of person-centered care planning and that this planning includes the provision of services to enable the resident to live with dignity and supports the resident's goals, choices, and preferences including, but not limited to, goals related to their daily routines and goals to potentially return to a community setting. Procedure: 1. General Care Planning (PoC) Goals and Guidelines: .b. Resident/representatives will be offered opportunities to voice their views .c. Resident/representatives will have the right to participate in the development and implementation of his/her own PoC including but not limited to: .ii. Right to identify individuals or roles to be included in the planning process .iv. Right to participate inn goal establishment and outcomes .d. The facility will: .iii. Review care plans quarterly and or with significant changes in care . During an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 11/8/23 at 1:00 p.m., he indicated the facility created a Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement plan on 10/1/23 to address care plans not being documented per company policy due to lack of information to be sent out for scheduling, lack of accountability to attend meetings and that people forgot and did not attend the meetings. The plan had a column for the current percentage (QM - Quality Measures) - number of care plans documented correctly which was blank. The Preintervention column - the current QM percentage, amount to be completed, number of residents that trigger, etc. was also left blank. The First, Second, and Final Re-measurement - what the goal would be for the next percentage for each item identified were blank and only gave a date as to when they would assess the issues. The ED indicated they did do an audit of just how many residents were affected and had care plans not updated or not being invited to their care plan meetings but was unable to provide that number or when the next review would be for each of the residents affected. The care plans would be updated with documentation of attendance by the residents only when they came up for their next review. 3.1-35(c)(2)(C) 3.1-35(d)(2)(B)

The NP plan included a chest x-ray, prednisone 20 mg (milligrams), and Duoneb 3 ml (milliliters). The progress note, dated 12/23/22 at 5:01 a.m., indicated the resident was sent out to the hospital on 12/22/22 at 10:45 p.m. due to being unresponsive, diaphoretic and an oxygen saturation between 45% to 60% on oxygen at 3 LPM (liters per minute). During an interview on 2/22/23 at 10:35 p.m., LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 5 indicated, on 12/22/22, somewhere between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., the resident had de-stated (drop in oxygen), and her oxygen saturation was between 78% to 79% at which time she placed oxygen at 3 LPM as a nursing measure. The LPN monitored the resident the entire time and would have documented the oxygen saturation in the vital signs. When LPN 5 placed the oxygen on the resident, the resident was responding, not well, but was responding. LPN 5 did not notify the physician at the time the resident de-stated between 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., but did notify the physician of what had transpired, during that time frame, when she sent the resident to the emergency department at 10:45 p.m. The clinical record lacked documentation of the significant change in the resident's oxygenation and need for oxygen, physician notification at the time the resident de-stated prior to 10:45 p.m. on 12/22/22, or any monitoring of the resident's vital signs and oxygen saturation between 7:00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. on 12/22/22 During an interview on 2/23/23 at 3:42 p.m., LPN 6 indicated if a resident had a saturation of 96% on room air and it dropped between 78% to 79%, it would be a significant change in condition, the resident should have been assessed, and the physician should have been notified. The EMS (emergency medical service) report, dated 12/22/22, indicated upon arrival to the facility at 10:44 p.m., the resident was found to be unresponsive to any stimulation, visibly labored breathing, oxygen saturation in the upper 60's, and on oxygen at 5 LPM. The oxygen was changed to a non-rebreather, which raised the oxygen level to 84%. The resident's respirations were assisted via BVM (bag valve mask) with 100% oxygen and transported to the hospital. The EMS pre-hospital assessment indicated the resident was in respiratory distress with vital signs as follows: On 12/22/22 at 10:50 p.m., the resident's blood pressure was 221/103, pulse was 144, respirations were 36, and oxygen saturation was 66%. On 12/22/22 at 11:00 p.m., the resident's blood pressure was 225/167, pulse was 157, respirations were 49, and oxygen saturation was 87%. The Emergency Documentation, dated 12/22/22 at 11:54 p.m., indicated the patient presented with hypoxia, unresponsiveness, diaphoretic, and arrived via EMS in critical condition. Pursued the use of a BMV to increase her oxygen saturation into the upper 90's and she was transitioned to a BiPAP. On 2/23/23 at 1:55 p.m., the interim Director of Nursing provided a current, undated copy of the document titled Notification of Change in Condition. It included, but was not limited to, Policy .It is the policy of this facility to provide resident centered care .The safety of residents .is of primary importance .Changes may include, but are not limited to .changes in overall health status .significant medical changes .Notifications .The attending practitioner is promptly notified of significant changes in condition, and the medical record must reflect the notification, response, and interventions implemented to address the resident's condition This Federal tag relates to Complaint IN00402241 3.1-5(a)(2)

He died and stopped breathing, and the nurse found him on the floor. She performed CPR and broke his ribs and his sternum. It happened about a month and a half to two months ago. He was still sore from it and it really hurt. The nurse didn't know he was a DNR, a lot of them didn't. He was on Hospice to keep him comfortable because he had cancer. When he revived he indicated he was almost home and then he didn't know how to feel when he woke up in the ER. After a day or two he wished she had never touched him because he was in so much pain. The resident stated, She broke all that stuff inside me and I had to live through it and I wouldn't have had to live through it if she hadn't of done that. I tell everyone now personally I'm a DNR. I don't want it to happen again. During an interview, on [DATE] at 1:45p.m., LPN 4 indicated she performed CPR on Resident D. An aide came and told her that he wanted pain medication. She was discharging a patient and said she would be right there. When she finished her paperwork she went in and the resident was slumped over and he did not have a pulse. She tried to arouse him and he had no pulse. She went out and the other nurse and CNAs were at the nurses station. She went for the crash cart and asked the other nurse to check for his code status and call the DON. When she was coming back she asked the nurse and she said he was a CPR. Another nurse and her went in and started performing CPR and sent him out to the hospital. When he got back she checked the chart and the DNR was marked out and CPR was wrote above it. That was on the first page in his physical chart. She did not check his POST form or his electronic orders. She did not look. The other nurse was looking for her. When it was all done and over she looked at the first page of the chart. She had no idea why it was crossed out. They wondered why it looked like that. She was told after the fact he was a DNR, but she followed what she was told. The other nurse, LPN 3 that confirmed the status. When she first went in and raised him up he had a little bit of saliva coming from his mouth. She did do a sweep because she thought he might have been choking. He did not say anything at all. He was not breathing. She didn't feel any cracking or anything, he's a larger man. She had cared for him since that time. He had complained several times. He said I can't believe your 100 pounds self-hurt my ribs. It made my ribs hurt. The last couple of times she'd had him he had not said anything related to his ribs. She indicated he had thanked her for saving his life. He had told her about the pain a few times, he had described it on more than one occasion. She did not ask him to rate the pain or describe it. She was not aware of anyone notifying the doctor of the pain or obtaining any imaging. She was not aware if they had a policy to check the electronic chart for code status orders. They had let hospice know he had talked about his ribs hurting. During an interview, on [DATE], at 8:20 a.m., the ED indicated she had completed a timeline the night prior. Some of her staff members told her the resident had been thankful they had performed CPR on him. They found a POST form for the resident, dated [DATE] that indicated the resident was a full code. They had just seen the hospice notes for the first time that the resident complained of his ribs being cracked but did not see that mentioned on his chest x-ray from the hospital. The hospital told them he wanted to return as a full code because he wanted to keep going. On [DATE] the hospice nurse documented that he wanted to remain with hospice and remain a DNR. She told him she would revisit on [DATE] for his final decision. On [DATE] that post form with a DNR was signed. At that time the order was placed and the care plan with the DNR status was placed. It was concerning to her they just got the notes from hospice, she didn't know why they didn't send them after their visit. During an interview, on [DATE] at 8:22 a.m., the Administrator in Training indicated what he knew of their process was that hospice was to print the notes and put them in the binder. They had a DNR form for the resident that was prepared on [DATE] which was before he was on service with them and was signed by the physician. He did not come on service with them until [DATE]. He was a transfer from another hospice provider. They had an additional post form after he came back from the hospital again that was on [DATE] that they obtained after the incident, which indicated he was a DNR again. His DNR status was confirmed with him upon his admission. It was in their admission documentation. There was a conversation between the admission nurse and the patient. In their electronic system he was flagged as a DNR. He did momentarily decide to be full code at the hospital after he had been revived, but she was told he ultimately stayed DNR. They were not contacted she believed until after he was sent out to the hospital. During an interview, on [DATE] at 9:22 a.m., Hospice RN 6 indicated she saw the resident personally twice weekly. He was in a high rate of pain. He came on service with the hospice service in July, and she had seen him regularly since then. He had always been a DNR. They had a POST form signed from the previous hospice group he was with, and that was dated a year before they got him as a patient. When they got him in July of 2022 he verified he wanted to be a DNR the day they admitted him. The only time she was aware of him not wanting to be a DNR, was after they coded him. There was approximately 48 hours where he wanted to be a full code, but all she had heard after that time was that he wanted to be a DNR and he should have always been a DNR. He had a tendency to agree with who was in front of him. She took her time to make sure his decisions were completely his own. He expressed that he shouldn't be alive and he was. His ribs were hurting for weeks afterwards which constantly reminded him that he was revived and how much pain that caused and how he never wanted to go through that again. Probably until the first of September he would ask her, I'm a DNR right? She always asked the nurses to reiterate that he was a DNR. She would say, if she could localize one of his pains, he had back pain, mouth pain, rib pain, lung issues that cause pain. Discerning between which one hurt the most would be difficult. He absolutely expressed how bad his ribs were hurting. For a couple of weeks it was all he spoke of. It was his main point of pain. He should not have had CPR, he was a DNR. It did hurt his ribs and it added to his pain. It reaffirmed the DNR for him. He was his own person, he was capable of making his own choices. His thought processes were not inaccurate. During an interview, on [DATE] at 10:57 a.m., LPN 3 indicated She did recall the incident. LPN 4 came and hollered we needed everybody on deck. They were trying to figure out if he was a full code or a DNR. So I looked on the computer, the computer said he was a DNR, some of the aides said in the book we had was CPR, so I looked in the book and that's what it said. I called hospice to get clarification. I was waiting for a reply back from them. During that waiting period we initiated CPR and called 911. Hospice called me back but by the time I got that call back everything was taken care of. The electronic health record said he was a DNR. She did not check his orders. Usually the code status is right at the top. She did check the physical chart. It said CPR. She thought it had said DNR and had been marked out and changed. She did not know if they were supposed to use the physical chart or the electronic chart. All she knew was to call hospice for clarification. The paper chart is the quickest to reach. The paper chart and electronic chart should reflect one another. She did indicate the resident expressed to her upon his return he was grateful they saved his life. The Initiate CPR policy and procedure, last reviewed [DATE], provided on [DATE] at 3:15 p.m. by the ED, included, but was not limited to, . Procedure . 3) Residents found unresponsive, not breathing or without a pulse, will have staff immediately locate the Code Status and communicate this to the team . 4) If CPR is indicated, staff will begin CPR and call [DATE] with these exceptions: a.

The purpose of this policy is to guide clinical staff to quickly and accurately identify residents in the facility that do and do not request CPR as a treatment for [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] .

The Immediate Jeopardy that began on [DATE] was removed on [DATE] when the DON completed an audit of all residents to ensure accuracy of their Advanced Directives to include the validation of the POST form, physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Immediate jeopardy was removed on [DATE] but remained at the lower scope and severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm, that is not immediate jeopardy, because the facility still needed to conduct further education to include expectations of notification to contracted companies involved in care of mutual residents, ensure social services involvement for psychosocial support during the decision making process, ensure psychiatric and social services were offered related to advanced directives decisions for residents, communication to contracted companies would include a copy of the POST form, or any form utilized to identify the residents' advanced directives, code blue drills on random shifts and audits would need to be conducted.

F686G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure appropriate interventions were developed and implemented to prevent the development and worsening of pressure ulcers resulting in a facility acquired stage 3 pressure ulcer and a deep tissue injury (Resident 84) for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. (Resident 84) Findings include: During an observation on 9/27/22 at 8:31 a.m., Resident 84 was lying in bed on her right side. She had no pressure relieving boots in place and was rubbing her left foot on the bed repeatedly. During an observation on 9/29/22 at 10:28 a.m., the resident was lying in bed. There were no heel boots on the resident's feet or observed anywhere in the room. There was a dressing to her left lateral foot, dated 9/28/22. She was moving her left foot back and forth and scooting it on the surface of the bed. There was a scabbed, dry, reddened area to lateral aspect of the base of her right great toe. There was a pillow in place between her legs, however both feet were resting directly on the mattress surface. During an observation on 9/29/22 at 10:34 a.m., CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) 10 indicated the resident had a small open area on her bottom.

During an observation on 9/29/22 at 2:15 p.m., PT (Physical Therapist) 11 returned the resident to her room in a geri-chair. The resident had a positioning pillow between her knees and heelbo (socks with padding to protect the heel) socks in place to her bilateral feet. The nursing staff had referred the resident to therapy when they noticed a change in her muscle tone on the left side a couple week ago. Her arm had started to curl up and her left leg was drawing completely to her chest. They were trying heelbo socks on her feet for the first time that day. The socks had built in padding to protect the heel because she was rubbing her skin a lot. They were trying to prevent further breakdown. They had been available prior to that day. She did not have heel protection boots that she was aware of. The therapist looked in the room and in the resident's drawers and could not locate any protective heel boots. The clinical record for Resident 84 was reviewed on 9/28/22 at 10:03 a.m. The diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The Admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 5/30/22, indicated the resident was cognitively intact, required extensive staff assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and personal hygiene, was at risk for developing pressure ulcers, and had no pressure ulcers upon admission to the facility. The care plan, initiated on 5/25/22, indicated the resident had impaired skin integrity or was at risk for altered skin integrity. Interventions, dated 5/25/22, indicated to administer treatments as ordered by medical provider, apply a barrier creams post incontinent episodes, complete skin at risk assessment upon admission and readmission, quarterly, and as needed, complete weekly skin checks, ensure residents are turned and repositioned, enhanced barrier precautions when dressing, bathing, showering, transferring, personal hygiene, changing linens, toileting and peri-care, providing care to wound care for skin openings that require a dressing, float heels while abed, nutritional consult on admission, quarterly, and as needed, diet as ordered, and update physician for any signs or symptoms of infection. The admission assessment, dated 5/24/22 7:50 p.m., indicated the resident would remain free of skin breakdown. A pressure reducing mattress was in place. The assessment did not indicate if the resident's skin was intact or not. The skin assessment, dated 7/20/22, indicated the resident had no skin issues. The skin grid non-pressure assessment, dated 7/23/22 at 1:42 p.m., indicated the resident had a new non-pressure area described as a sheering wound in between the resident's buttocks. The size indicated diffuse. The skin loss was partial thickness with red, moist, grainy, optimal granulation. There was no exudate or pain. The treatment recommendations indicated continue current treatment orders. Current treatment orders indicated, keep clean and dry. The clinical record lacked documentation of any orders, new interventions, or physician notification. The skin and wound note, dated 7/27/22 at 2:59 p.m., indicated the resident had been seen by the Wound NP for assessment of a new area first observed on 7/23/22 by the floor nurse. The area was assessed to be a stage 3 pressure ulcer to the sacrum. The resident was post [CONDITION(S)], non-complaint with turn and repositioning, incontinence and had decreased mobility. Her family member indicated he had been dealing with this off and on for years and it was nothing new for her. New treatment orders were given The Wound NP's assessment, dated 7/27/22, indicated the resident had a stage 3 pressure ulcer to the sacrum, which developed in house on 7/23/22. The wound measured 1.32 cm (centimeters) in length by 0.75 cm in width, by 0.1 cm in depth. There was 60% granulation, 40% slough or eschar, and moderate serosanguinous drainage. The treatment included to cleanse with normal saline and apply medical honey and a bordered foam dressing every 3 days and as needed. The wound NP's assessment, dated 8/10/22, indicated the stage 3 to the resident's sacrum was stable, however the measurements had increased to 2.72 cm in length, 2.96 cm in width, and 0.1 cm in depth. The treatment remained the same. The wound NP's assessment, dated 8/17/22, indicated the wound was debrided and was improving with decreased measurements. The skin and wound note, dated 9/12/22 at 3:49 p.m., indicated the Wound NP saw the resident for a report of a new skin issue. Her left medial foot had an evolving deep tissue injury, a blanchable area to her left first digit on the medial and multiple scabbed areas from self-inflicted scratch marks. The resident had a contracture to the left leg and scratched her right leg with her toenails. She was unable to understand importance of elevating her feet related to decreased safety awareness. Staff tried to separate her legs with pillow and the resident removed it with her good hand. Staff encouraged the resident to elevate her right heel without success. On 9/12/22 the care plan was updated to reflect a deep tissue injury to the left medial foot. An intervention of providing off-loading heel boots was added. The wound assessment, dated 9/12/22, indicated the resident had a new SDTI to her left lateral foot, which measured 2.77 cm in length, 1.53 cm in width, and 0 cm in depth.

It was the first time she had been out of her bed for anything other than a shower since she'd been in the facility. She was paralyzed on one side and couldn't stand up. She had bed sores which she got from moving her leg. He had not seen boots on the resident's feet, just the bandages and medication once she got the sores. He had not seen anything on her feet beforehand. She had a sore on her bottom too at the end of her spine. He did not know how she got it. During an interview on 9/30/22 at 2:39 p.m., LPN 3 indicated skin assessments were conducted once a week. If a new area of skin impairment was identified she would chart it on the skin assessment, measure it, clean it, let the wound nurse know, and do the skin grid assessment. Part of the assessment would include the measurements, notification to the physician, and they would also do a nurses note saying if they called the family or the doctor. The wound nurse would be notified if she was in the facility, and they would let the unit manager or DON (Director of Nursing) know. Treatment was started immediately. She would do immediate first aide and get clarification on an order. During an interview on 9/30/22 at 2:42 p.m., the DON indicated skin assessments should be completed at least weekly. If a new area was found it should be written up. Staff should ensure the doctor was called, orders were obtained, and the resident's family was notified. She would expect a new area to be measured. The wound nurse was there on Mondays so the wound identified on 7/23/22 should have been seen on 7/25/22. Notification to the physician would be located in the progress notes. All she could see the nurse charted on was the skin grid assessment on 7/23/22. She did not see any indication of the physician being notified or any treatment orders between 7/23/22 and 7/27/22. The resident was constantly moving. They had tried boots and heel lifts. She wasn't aware of what heelbo socks were or that they existed, or she would have tried them, but she didn't believe they had been tried prior. She thought the resident had a noncompliant care plan but could not locate one in the clinical record. When a resident refused an intervention, they would keep trying new interventions. She would expect to see noncompliance with interventions reflected in the clinical record and the care plan.

LPN #1 indicated LPN #2 started CPR compressions when LPN #1 called the code. LPN #1 also indicated when she went back to Resident #C's room EMS had already started an I.V. and was attempting to intubate. LPN #1 then indicated LPN #3 entered Resident #C's room and indicated Resident #C was a DNR. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:40 p.m., LPN #2 indicated LPN #1 asked her for help regarding Resident #C on [DATE] at 7:40 a.m. LPN # 2 indicated she attempted to get a blood pressure manually but could not. LPN#2 indicated as she walked away, Resident #C ceased breathing. LPN #2 indicated she asked LPN #1 if Resident #C was a DNR and LPN #1 indicated no. LPN #2 indicated CPR was initiated until EMS arrived and took over resuscitative measures. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:10 p.m., LPN #3 indicated LPN #1 called a Code on Resident #C. LPN #3 indicated LPN #2 retrieved the crash cart and LPN #1 called 911 at that time. LPN #3 indicated life sustaining measures were initiated and EMS took over when they arrived. LPN #3 indicated she went to the chart again and found the POST which indicated Resident #C was a DNR and at that time alerted EMS. During an interview on [DATE] at 3:30 p.m., the DON indicated LPN #1 could not find Resident #C's code status in the chart or in the computer, so CPR was initiated at that time on [DATE] at 7:40 a.m. The DON indicated she consulted with the DDCO after the incident and, in turn, took that information from the DDCO and helped LPN #1 with the documentation that transpired on [DATE] for Resident #C. The DON indicated that she did not want to put directly into the documentation that Resident #C was a DNR and coded by the staff. She indicated that the documentation could have more accurately reflected the events that took place during the incident with Resident #C on [DATE]. During an interview on [DATE] at 4:00 p.m., the DDCO indicated she did assist the DON in the documentation but was unaware that Resident #C had any life saving support measures done by the facility staff on [DATE]. On [DATE] at 10:35 a.m., the DON from a sister facility, provided a copy of the policy and procedure titled, Advance Directives/ Healthcare Decisions, dated [DATE], and indicated as current. The policy included, but was not limited to, the following: . Policy . Patients have the right to make decisions concerning medical care, including the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment, and the right to formulate advance directives . Do No Resuscitate . Instructs the nursing staff not to perform emergency resuscitation on a patient . Criteria for not Starting CPR . The patient has a valid Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) . order . COMPONENTS: .1. Facility determines on admission whether the patient has executed an advance directive or has given other instructions to indicate what care he or she desires in case of subsequent incapacity . 2. If the patient or the patient's legal representative has executed one or more advance directive(s), or executes one upon admission, the facility obtains copies of these, incorporates and consistently maintains them in the same section of the patient's medical record readily retrievable by any facility staff . 3. The facility communicates the patient's wishes to the direct care staff The Immediate Jeopardy that began on [DATE] was removed on [DATE] when the facility began inservicing all clinical staff on the steps taken to verify a resident's code status prior to initiating CPR and completed an audit of all residents' clinical records to ensure that the resident's advance directive wishes are consistent throughout the entire clinical record. The noncompliance remained at the lower scope and severity level of isolated, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy, as all employees had not been inserviced. 3XXX,[DATE](f)(5) 3XXX,[DATE](f)(7)
