- Failure to Provide Basic Life Support, Including Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) before the Arrival of Medical Personnel – citation #F678 October 9, 2018
- Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date September 6, 2018 According to investigators, the “facility failed to properly monitor and evaluate pressure ulcers [involving two residents] reviewed for pressure ulcers. This [failure] resulted in [detrimental] harm when [a resident] developed an unstageable pressure ulcer to her right heel.”
The state investigators documented that the facility “failed to timely initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and timely contact Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for [one resident who was a Full Code it was found unresponsive and without vital signs. Life-threatening harm and death occurred when [the resident] did not receive timely CPR EMS and expired at the facility.”
The investigators determined that this failure “resulted in Immediate Jeopardy for [one of four residents] review for a change in condition and death in the facility.” Documentation shows that a State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) informed in a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) that a resident “was unresponsive.” At that time, the LPN checked the resident and “found the resident to be without a pulse or other vital signs.”
However, even though the LPN did not find vital signs, neither one of two LPNs begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). At that time, the STNA “provide post-mortem care,” and the facility notified the Hospice Provider of the resident’s death.
Documentation shows that the “medical record was not reviewed to confirm the resident’s code status.” A Registered Nurse (RN) heard of the resident’s death and instructed the LPNs “to check the resident medical records to verify the resident’s code status.” Upon checking, it was discovered that the resident was a Full Code.”
The LPN then “obtained the crash cart and proceeded to [the resident’s] room to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and 911 was called. Upon the EMS arrival at the facility, CPR was being performed [on the resident who] was noted by EMS services to be cold to touch, dependent the validity and rigor mortis was beginning the set in.”
The AMS team did not initiate life-saving care “due to the obvious signs of death.” It was noted that the resident had “expired in the facility.”
