Inspection Findings
- Administration failed to monitor, assess, document, and effectively address R1's chronic respiratory
issues.
This deficient practice resulted in R1 being admitted to the hospital on critical care unit and initially being placed on BiPAP.
Telephone interview 6/27/2024 at 10:14 am with LPN QQ revealed she was the nurse working when R1 called 911 on 6/2/2024. LPN QQ stated R1 was having difficulty breathing and wanted to go the emergency room . LPN QQ further stated she witnessed R1 tripoding and turning purple. LPN QQ also stated R1 was sick and needed help, however, she stated she did not assess resident, implement any interventions, document the change in condition, or call the physician. LPN QQ stated the change of condition should have been documented and her respiratory status should have been assessed, but because R1 was of thin frame she could see the resident had to use her accessory muscles to breathe. LPN QQ also stated she did not stay with the resident until emergency personnel arrived and she did not alert the more experienced nurse on the shift that something was going on. LPN QQ further stated she did not greet the emergency medical staff or give them a report when they arrived at the facility. LPN QQ also stated she did not call the physician, DHS, or Administrator to inform them of resident's condition and the situation. LPN QQ also confirmed she was aware R1 had a history of respiratory distress and had several medications to treat her condition, but she did not attempt to administer any medications or treatments. LPN QQ stated to surveyor I made too many mistakes and reacted too late.

3.Administration failed to develop and implement person-centered baseline care plans related to risks associated with chronic respiratory problems for resident R1.
Interview with the Director of Health Services (DHS) on 6/27/2024 at 12:17 pm. DHS confirmed a baseline plan of care related to R1's respiratory diagnoses was not listed, and he was not aware until now. DHS reported that a respiratory problem should be done for residents who have a known history of respiratory related illnesses.
The DHS further reported R1 discharged from the facility prior to a comprehensive care plan was scheduled to be completed, but the baseline care plan should have reflected resident's chronic respiratory issues.
