F-F684

Findings:

During a review of Resident 1's Admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident on 1/7/2025 (no diagnoses documented in AR). The AR indicated Resident 1's responsible party (RP) was RP 1.

During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), the H&P indicated Resident 1 had diagnoses including congestive heart failure (CHF, the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should), end stage renal disease (ESRD, a condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning), and required hemodialysis ( a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally).

During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 10/24/2025,

the MDS indicated Resident 1 was moderately impaired in cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions).

The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required partial/moderate (helper does less than half the effort) assistance from staff for dressing and personal and oral hygiene.

A review of Resident 1's physicians orders (PO), dated 1/16/2025, timed at 7:19 pm, the PO indicated Resident 1 had an order for a STAT (immediately) chest X-ray due to increased congestion (an abnormal accumulation of fluid) and desaturation (a condition where oxygen levels in the blood drop).

During a telephone interview on 1/30/2025 with RP 1, RP 1 stated RP 1 visited Resident 1 at the facility on 1/16/2025. RP 1 stated while RP 1 was at the facility with Resident 1 on 1/16/2025 at around 5 p.m., Resident 1's O2 saturation (O2 saturation refers to the percentage of oxygen carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream) had dropped to 85% (normal range 95-100%). RP 1 stated the facility was going to order a chest X-ray because Resident 1's O2 saturation had dropped.

F 0684 During a telephone interview on 1/30/2025 with RP 1, RP 1 stated RP 1 visited Resident 1 at the facility on 1/16/2025. RP 1 stated the facility staff called RP 1 in the morning of 1/17/2025 to inform RP 1 the facility Level of Harm - Minimal harm or sent Resident 1 to the hospital for low oxygen (O2) saturation (O2 saturation- refers to the percentage of potential for actual harm oxygen carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream). RP 1 stated while RP 1 was at the facility with Resident 1 on 1/16/2025 at around 5 p.m., Resident 1's O2 saturation had dropped to 85 percent (%) Residents Affected - Few (normal range 95-100%). RP 1 stated RP 1 was able to calm Resident 1 and Resident 1's O2 saturation was then better at 95%. RP 1 stated when RP 1 left the facility at 9 p.m. on 1/16/2025, Resident 1 was fine. RP 1 stated a facility staff (unidentified) called RP 1 at around 11 p.m. on 1/16/2025 to inform RP 1 that Resident 1 was doing better, and that the facility staff would monitor Resident 1 during the night.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/31/2025 at 6:39 a.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 1's SBAR, dated 1/16/2025, timed at 11:06 pm, and Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 1/16/2025 and 1/17/2025 were reviewed. The SBAR indicated Resident 1 had an episode of low O2 saturation and congestion on 1/16/2025. The Progress Notes dated 1/17/2025, timed at 8:15 am, indicated on 1/17/2025 at 8:15 a.m., the facility staff called 911 and Resident 1 was transferred to the hospital for low O2 saturations, low blood pressure, and altered level of consciousness. RN 1 stated RN 1 was working overnight from 1/16/2025 to 1/17/2025. RN 1 stated since Resident 1 had a change of condition (COC) by having low O2 saturations, Resident 1's charge nurse (Licensed Vocational Nurse [LVN] 1) needed to monitor Resident 1's vital signs including Resident 1's O2 saturation every 2 hours. RN 1 stated LVN 1 needed to check Resident 1's O2 saturation every 2 hours and document the results of the monitoring at least once during the shift. The Progress Notes failed to indicate LVN 1 monitored Resident 1's O2 saturation during the shift. RN 1 confirmed LVN 1 did not document any monitoring of Resident 1's O2 saturations and condition in Resident 1's medical records.

During a telephone interview on 1/31/2025 at 9:05 a.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated LVN 1 worked overnight from 1/16/2025 to 1/17/2025.

LVN 1 stated LVN 1 did not know if LVN 1 needed to document each shift regarding the monitoring of a residents' change in condition.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/31/2025 at 12:28 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 1/16/2025 and 1/17/2025 were reviewed. The Progress Notes failed to indicate LVN 1 monitored Resident 1's O2 saturation during the 11 pm to 7 am shift

on 1/16/2025. The ADON stated nurses (in general) should have monitored Resident 1's COC each shift following Resident 1's COC for 72 hours. The ADON stated LVN 1 needed to document about Resident 1's breathing on LVN 1's shift. The ADON stated LVN 1 should monitor Resident 1's O2 saturation at least every two hours and document. The ADON stated whenever there is a COC, nurse (in general needed to complete Alert charting for 72 hours following the COC. The ADON stated if the monitoring was not documented then it did not happen. The ADON confirmed LVN 1 did not document anywhere in Resident 1's medical record the monitoring of Resident 1's COC.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change of Condition Notification, dated 11/1/2017, the P&P indicated, An acute change of condition (ACOC) is a sudden, clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline in physical, cognitive, behavioral, or functional domains.
