1 findingBased on review of established guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the facility's policies, review of residents' clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility displayed past non-compliance in its failure to ensure that CPR was provided in accordance with physician's orders and the resident's CPR declaration resulting in death for one of eight residents reviewed (Resident 1). Findings Include: Review of the facility's policy titled Emergency Procedure-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, recently revised [DATE], reads If an individual is found unresponsive, briefly assess for abnormal or absence of breathing. If sudden cardiac arrest is likely, begin CPR. The policy continues Instruct a staff member to call 911 and also notify the Supervisor who will then call/direct the 'code.' Instruct a staff member to retrieve emergency equipment. Verify or instruct a staff member to verify .the code status of the individual. Initiate the basic life support (BLS) sequence of events. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is defined as an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Also, CPR incudes the manual application of chest compressions and ventilations to patients in cardiac arrest, done in an effort to maintain viability until advanced help arrives. The American Heart Association (AHA) has established evidenced-based decision-making guidelines for initiating CPR when cardiac or respiratory arrest occurs. The AHA urges all potential rescuers to initiate CPR unless a valid Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order is in place; obvious clinical signs of irreversible death (e.g., rigor mortis, dependent lividity, decapitation, transection, or decomposition) are present; or initiating CPR could cause injury or peril to the rescuer. If a resident experiences a cardiac or respiratory arrest and the resident does not show obvious clinical signs of irreversible death (e.g. rigor mortis, dependent lividity, decapitation, transection, or decomposition), facility staff must provide basic life support, including CPR, prior to the arrival of emergency medical services, in accordance with the resident's advance directives and any related physician order, such as code status, or in the absence of advance directives or a DNR order.

Findings include: Review of Resident 13's clinical record on October 26, 2014 at approximately 11:30 a.m., revealed a history of right [MEDICAL CONDITION] with surgical right hip replacement. Review of facility documentation revealed Resident 13 was to be transferred, at all times, via two person assist and a full body lift (Hoyer lift). Review of a statement written by Nursing Assistant 3 (NA 3), it was revealed that on September 9, 2014, NA 3 used a single-person standing lift with knowledge that a Hoyer lift should be used to transfer Resident 13. Following the transfer, Resident 13 complained of pain on multiple occasions and was treated with as-needed pain medication. Review of Nursing Progress Note dated September 10, 2014 revealed Resident 13 was unable to move the right knee and was experiencing right hip and thigh pain. An order was received to obtain an X-ray of the right leg which showed a [MEDICAL CONDITION] femur (long bone in the thigh).

Pa Code: 211.12 (d)(1) Nursing Services
Inspection of November 22, 2013
1 findingBased on observation, clinical record review, staff and resident interview and review of select facility policies, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure an environment free from accident hazards on one of nine nursing units (A Wing) and for four of 30 residents reviewed (Residents 148, 118, 125, 192). The facility also failed to implement interventions to prevent falls for one of 30 residents sampled (Resident 7). Findings include: The facility does not have a policy indicating that they maintain an environment free from accident hazards. During a group interview on November 20, 2013, at 10:30 AM nine residents voiced concern that the dietary department serves their foods and fluids on and in broken and chipped plates and mugs. Observation of the dietary department on November 20, 2013, 12:30 PM revealed that staff stored a broken, chipped glass plate under the steam table, ready and available with other dishes for use with resident meals. Interview with Employee 9, assistant cook, on the above noted date and time confirmed the finding. Observation of resident trays on A Wing (dementia unit), on November 21, 2013, at 12:00 PM revealed that dietary staff delivered resident trays to the unit on glass plates which they placed on a hot pellet (metal pellet made hot in an electric heating unit to keep plates warm) with only a thermal lid on top of the plate. Staff did not place the hot pellet inside a bottom thermal lid to prevent a resident or staff member from burning themselves from the hot exposed metal. Once nursing staff served residents their meals, staff stored the hot pellet on top of the food delivery cart, making it possible for confused residents to touch the pellets. Interview with Employee 8, regional food service director, on the above noted date and time confirmed this finding and could not provide documented evidence that dietary staff provide the bottom pellet to ensure resident and staff safety. Interview with Employee 10, licensed practical nurse, who was passing trays to residents on A Wing revealed that dietary staff never places the hot pellets in a bottom thermal and that the hot pellet is always exposed. Employee 10 confirmed that dietary staff does not provide nursing staff with oven mitts to protect themselves during meal distribution. The facility policy entitled, "Accident/Incident Reporting and Investigation," last reviewed August 2013, revealed that staff is to complete an Incident and Investigation Report form for all unexplained bruises or abrasions, all accidents or incidents resulting in injury or the potential for injury, and allegations of theft and/or abuse. Licensed staff is responsible to initiate and complete the Incident and Investigation Report form. Staff must complete a form for each resident involved in an incident and notify the resident's physician and family. An investigation is initiated within 24 hours of the discovery of a resident injury of suspicious or unknown origin or the allegation of abuse. The Accident/Incident Reporting and Investigation policy defines the following: An incident is any happening, which does not result in bodily injury or property damage. An accident is any happening that results in bodily injury other than abuse. Physical or mental mistreatment (abuse, actual or suspected) is considered an incident whether or not an actual injury occurred. Resident 192's nursing documentation dated September 8, 2013, at 10:15 PM revealed that at 7:30 PM staff called a registered nurse supervisor to F Wing West because Resident 192 was physically and verbally aggressive with staff, and requested to go home. Staff pushed Resident 192's wheelchair into her room, where she became verbally aggressive towards her roommate, with attempts to reach the roommate. Staff redirected Resident 192 from her roommate. Resident 192 began hitting, grabbing, and scratching staff. Staff moved Resident 192 into the hallway. While being pushed in her wheelchair, Resident 192 put her feet down, causing her to slide face first to the floor. Staff rolled her onto her back and noted a laceration above and below her right eye. Resident 192 was complaining of head and neck pain, though she continued to be physically aggressive to staff. Staff called 911 and Resident 192 was transferred to a local hospital. Nursing documentation on September 8, 2013, at 10:47 PM revealed that Resident 192 was admitted to the local hospital with fractures of the C1 and C2 cervical (neck) vertebrae. Review of Resident 192's Investigation Report dated September 8, 2013, confirmed that staff was with her at the time of the incident. The facility could not provide staff witness statements regarding this incident. Interview on November 22, 2013, at 7:55 AM with the Nursing Home Administrator, Employee 1, Assistant Nursing Home Administrator, and the Director of Nursing revealed that Employee 1 is the facility's incident/abuse coordinator. Employee 1 revealed that she investigates all incidents/abuse concerns and reports them to the appropriate agencies accordingly. Review of Resident 7's clinical record revealed that the facility admitted her on February 1, 2013. Documentation dated February 11, 2013, indicated that the facility assessed Resident 7 as being at significant risk of falls. An MDS (Minimum Data Set Assessment, an assessment tool completed at specific intervals to determine care needs) dated February 8, 2013, indicated that the facility assessed her as needing extensive assistance of two caregivers for toileting and transferring. Resident 7's Activities of Daily Living care plan dated February 18, 2013, indicated that Resident 7 needs one staff member to participate in toilet use. Documentation dated March 7, 2013, at 8:15 PM revealed that nursing staff found Resident 7 on the floor in her room. The facility indicated that they were going to place Resident 7 on a one to two hour toileting program. There was no evidence in Resident 7's clinical record to indicate that the facility assessed and/or monitored a toileting program for Resident 7 to determine effectiveness. Documentation dated March 15, 2013, at 6:15 PM revealed that nursing staff found Resident 7 on the floor in front of her bed. Again, the facility indicated that they would place Resident 7 on a one to two hour toileting program. There was no evidence in Resident 7's clinical record to indicate that the facility completed this. Documentation dated March 22, 2013, at 6:58 AM revealed that nursing staff found Resident 7 sitting on the floor in her room. The facility indicated that they were going to move Resident 7's room closer to the nurse's station. There was no evidence that the facility moved Resident 7's room because she remained in the same room throughout her stay. Documentation dated April 2, 2013, at 6:30 AM revealed that nursing staff found Resident 7 on the floor near her bedside commode. Review of the abuse/neglect allegation incident report dated April 2, 2013, indicated that one nurse aide transferred her to the bedside commode. The nurse aide left Resident 7 unattended on the bedside commode, and Resident 7 fell . Resident 7 sustained two fractures in her right arm and a fractured pelvis. Documentation provided by the facility dated April 5, 2013, indicated that it is facility practice to never leave a resident unattended when a resident is determined to be at "high risk for falls." Clinical record review for Resident 148 revealed communication to her physician dated October 6, 2013, reporting that staff found Resident 148 on the floor in her room. Resident 148 sustained a laceration above her left eye with a, "brush burn (abrasion)." Interview with the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator on November 20, 2013, at 2:00 PM revealed that the facility was unable to provide an investigation regarding Resident 148's fall on October 6, 2013, during the onsite visit. Clinical record review for Resident 118 revealed nursing documentation dated October 19, 2013, at 1:15 AM indicating that at 10:50 PM staff arrived in Resident 118's room to find him lying on his right side on the floor. Staff noted multiple bruises on the right side of his body. Nursing documentation dated October 19, 2013, at 8:33 AM described the bruising as 3.9 cm (centimeters) by 3 cm purple bruise on his right lateral upper thigh and 4.9 cm by 3.4 cm bruise on his right upper arm. Resident 118's plan of care developed to address his high risk for falls listed bed and chair listed that alarms were initiated on September 29, 2013, to alert staff of attempts at unassisted transfers. Review of the facility's investigation of Resident 118's fall included a staff witness statement that she heard the resident talking loudly to himself, entered his room, and observed him on the floor. The investigation failed to obtain staff witness statements that indicated whether the bed alarm functioned at the time of the fall. Interview with Employee 1 and the Director of Nursing on November 21, 2013, at 2:00 PM confirmed that the facility's investigation did not include confirmation that the fall prevention intervention of the bed alarm was functioning at the time of Resident 118's fall. Clinical record review for Resident 125 revealed communication to her physician dated August 13, 2013, reporting her increased agitation, biting staff, and hitting. The facility admitted Resident 125 on June 21, 2013, with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of Resident 125's plans of care and target behavior tracking did not include Resident 125's potential for physical aggression complicated by her history of hallucinations. Interview with Employee 1 and the Director of Nursing on November 21, 2013, at 2:00 PM confirmed that Resident 125 did injure staff during the August 13, 2013, episode. The facility was unable to provide an incident investigation regarding Resident 125's assault on staff. 483.25(h) Accidents. Previously cited 4/29/13 28 Pa. Code 211.6(f) Dietary services.
