jeopardy to resident health or safety
appropriate until Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived to take over.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:36 p.m. LPN 5 indicated, in an emergency, she would first make sure the resident was alright. If the resident was not breathing, the code status would be confirmed. If they were a full code, someone would call 911 while CPR was initiated.
They would never stop CPR until the EMS could take over.
The medical provider should not be contacted via text message, but should be called on the telephone.Review of LPN 1's CPR certification on [DATE] at 8:36 a.m., from the American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) program was dated [DATE], with an expiration date of [DATE]. A new Certificate of Completion for Standard - CPR/AED, dated [DATE], lacked a hands-on component consistent with American Heart Association guidance.Review of QMA 2's CPR certification on [DATE] at 8:36 a.m., dated [DATE], lacked a hands-on component consistent with American Heart Association guidance.A current facility policy, dated [DATE] and titled Medical Emergencies That Require Immediate Response/Assessment was provided by the Corporate Clinical Consultant on [DATE] at 2:47 p.m. and indicated the following: .
These symptoms must be reported immediately to the nurse in charge for evaluation and assessment.
The nurse responds immediately and will determine if the resident requires further evaluation and treatment in an acute care setting.
The nurse will notify the doctor and the resident's responsible party of the onset of these medical conditions for direction. If there is an emergent situation, the nurse will call 911 for EMS transport unless clearly defined by order and responsible party's direction not to do so --- such as in an actively dying resident.Review of American Heart Association's Resuscitation Education Science guidance, retrieved from https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines/executive-summary indicated the following: .Part 12 of the 2025 Guidelines, Resuscitation Education Science, includes recommendations about various instructional design features in resuscitation training, including CPR feedback devices, rapid-cycle deliberate practice, scripted debriefing, gamified learning, spaced learning and booster training, teamwork and leadership training, manikin fidelity, virtual and augmented reality, and the use of cognitive aids.
Recommendations for these instructional design elements have been split into those for health care professionals and those for lay rescuers.
The immediate jeopardy that began on [DATE] was removed on [DATE] when the facility completed education with nursing staff regarding emergency response protocols and policies, but the noncompliance 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 LPN 1 and QMA 2 remained without current CPR certification according to professional standards.
