COUNT I
The Respondent Failed To Periodically Review And Revise The Comprehensive Care Plan
For Changes In Care And Treatment According To The Needs Of The Resident And To
Assure The Continued Accuracy Of The Assessment As The Needs For The Residents
Changed in Violation Of Rule 59A-4.109(1), Florida Administrative Code
6. The Agency re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs one (1) through five (5).
7. Pursuant to Florida law, each resident admitted to the nursing home facility shall have a plan
of care. The plan of care shall consist of:
a.) Physician’s orders, diagnosis, medical history, physical exam and rehabilitative or
restorative potential.
b.) A preliminary nursing evaluation with physician’s orders for immediate care, completed
on admission.
c.) A complete, comprehensive, accurate and reproducible assessment of each resident’s
functional capacity which is standardized in the facility, and is completed within fourteen (14)
days of the resident’s admission to the facility and every twelve months, thereafter. The
assessment shall be reviewed no less than once every three (3) months; reviewed promptly after a
significant change in the resident’s physical or mental condition, and revised as appropriate to
assure the continued accuracy of the assessment. Rule 59A-4.109(1), Florida Administrative Code.
8. On or about March 11, 2008 through March 12, 2008 the Agency conducted a Complaint
Investigation (CCR# 2008003055) of the Respondent’s facility.
9. Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to periodically review
and revise the comprehensive care plan for changes in care and treatment according to the needs of
the resident and to the extent practicable to assure the continued accuracy of the assessment as the
needs changed for two (2) of five (5) sampled residents, Resident number two (2) and Resident
number five (5). Resident number five’s (5) care plan documented he/she was to be showered
twice a week and had not been updated to reflect he/she could not tolerate a shower and had been
receiving bed baths. This led to a Certified Nursing Assistant taking Resident number five (5) to
the shower where Resident number five (5) died. The facility also failed to update the care plan for
Resident number two (2) when Oxygen orders were changed.
10. | On March 11, 2008 a review of records for Resident number five (5) revealed he/she was
admitted to the facility on January 30, 2008 with a diagnosis including, but not limited to,
pulmonary fibrosis, congestive heart failure, shortness of breath, non-insulin dependent diabetes,
debility, respiratory failure, respiratory insufficiency, coronary artery disease, and renal
insufficiency.
11. The records indicate that Resident number five (5) expired at the facility on Wednesday
March 5, 2008 in the shower without the use of ordered oxygen.
12. A review of Resident number five’s (5) care plan revealed he/she was to receive showers
on Wednesday and Saturday of each week. The care plan indicated that Resident number five (5)
ambulated with a walker and ‘in his/her wheelchair, he/she had an air mattress on his/her bed for
prevention of skin breakdown and required the use of continuous oxygen at four (4) liters per
minute per nasal cannula.
13. On March 12, 2008 an interview with six (6) of the certified nursing assistants that had
cared for Resident number five (5) during his/her stay at the facility revealed that five (5) of the six
(6) staff members interviewed reported that Resident number five (5) was receiving bed baths and
not showers as listed on his/her care plan. One staff member could not recall Resident number five
(5). The certified nursing assistants stated that they were providing bed baths related to the fact that
Resident number five (5) was often short of breath and that he/she was unable to tolerate the
exertion required to take a shower. They all stated that to the best of their knowledge, Resident
number five (5) did not receive any showers during his/her stay at the facility.
14. Records revealed that Resident number five (5) received physical therapy and occupational
therapy up to five (5) times a week as tolerated.
15. During an interview with the physical therapist on March 12, 2008. she reported that
frequently during therapy Resident number five (5) had to have frequent rest periods because
he/she would become very short of breath. She stated that Resident number five’s (5) oxygen
saturation would often drop to the 70's percentage and he/she would be unable to continue with
therapy. She stated that because of Resident number five’s (5) shortness of breath he/she was
unable to ambulate. When Resident number five (5) attempted to ambulate a few steps to the
restroom he/she would become extremely short of breath again with oxygen saturation in the 70's.
The normal oxygen saturation at rest with no activity for Resident number five (5) was primarily in
the low 90's. A normal healthy individual would have normal oxygen saturation between 97-100%.
16. A review of nurses notes in the record of Resident number five (5) revealed that on
multiple occasions with slight exertion his/her oxygen saturation would often drop in the 60's and
70's. The notes revealed that Resident number five (5) was often unable to get out of bed due to
this fact.
17. A review of facility records dated Wednesday March 5, 2008 revealed that on this date the
certified nursing assistant providing care to Resident number five (5) assisted him/her out of bed
and to the shower room for the shower as listed on Resident number five’s (5) care plan for
Wednesday. Resident number five (5) did not have his/her oxygen on as ordered by the physician
when he/she went to the shower room. Resident number five (5) was in the shower when the
certified nursing assistant called for assistance from the nurse. The nurse responded as well as the
physician who was in the facility at the time. Upon arrival, the physician found Resident number
five (5) to be without vital signs. Resident number five (5) had a Do Not Resuscitate status in
his/her records signed by the physician. The physician present pronounced Resident number five
(5) as deceased.
18. A review of the document (activities of daily living care plan) that instructs staff on the
care for Resident number five (5) indicated that he/she was scheduled for showers twice weekly on
Wednesday and Saturday. This care plan sheet did not accurately reflect the severity of the
respiratory status of Resident number five (5) and the fact that he/she was unable to tolerate
showers due to Resident number five’s (5) shortness of breath and needed bed baths.
19. | On March 12, 2008 during an interview with Staff number one (1), who was providing the
shower to Resident number five (5), she reported that she had worked at the facility for six (6)
years. She stated that she was unaware of any activities of daily living care plan sheets that would
instruct her in the care for Resident number five (5). She stated that the charge nurse for that shift
had instructed her to give Resident number five (5) a shower and she was doing as she was
instructed by her supervisor. She stated this was the first time she had worked with Resident
number five (5) on his/her scheduled shower day. She stated that she was unaware that Resident
number five (5) had been receiving bed baths.
20. During an interview with the spouse of Resident number five (5) on March 12, 2008 at 3:30
p.m., who was present during the preparation for the shower and also present in the facility when
Resident number five (5) expired, revealed that to the best of the spouse’s knowledge Resident
number five (5) had never received a shower during his/her stay at the facility. Resident number
five’s (5) spouse stated that he/she visited Resident number five (5) on a daily basis and that when
he/she was present Resident number five (5) always received bed baths instead of showers on
his/her scheduled days because Resident number five (5) was unable to tolerate being out of bed
for extended periods of time and often became short of breath with any exertion or when he/she
was up in the chair.
21. | The comprehensive care plan and the activities of daily living care plan did not accurately
reflect the care to be provided to meet the needs of Resident number five (5) in regards to his/her
intolerance of shower activity related to Resident number five’s (5) compromised respiratory
status.
22. A review of records for Resident number two (2) revealed that he/she was admitted to the
facility on January 24, 2008 with a diagnosis including, but not limited to pneumonia, anxiety,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high blood pressure.
23. A review of records for Resident number two (2) revealed that on January 26, 2008
Resident number two (2) had an order for oxygen at two (2) liters per minute via nasal cannula as
needed. A further review of physician's orders revealed an updated order beginning February 1,
2008 for the oxygen to be at two (2) liters per minute via nasal cannula. The "as needed" status had
been eliminated and Resident number two (2) was receiving oxygen on a continuous basis.
24. A review of the activities of daily living care plan for Resident number two (2) revealed
that the instruction listed for guidance by care providers was inaccurately stated as oxygen via
nasal cannula at two (2) liters as needed.
25. On March 12, 2008 at 8:20 am. during an interview with Resident number two (2), he/she
reported that he/she wears oxygen on a continuous basis. Resident number two (2) reports that
when he/she attends activities or goes to the dining room or showers that he/she uses a portable
oxygen tank.
26. An observation of Resident number two (2) on six (6) occasions (March 11, 2008 at 9:30
a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and March 12, 2008 at 6:20 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 8:20 a.m., and 9:30 a.m.) during
the survey revealed that Resident number two (2) always had oxygen on and in place.
27. The current care plan had not been updated to accurately reflect the status of oxygen usage
for Resident number two (2) as ordered for February 1, 2008 by the physician.
28. The Agency determined that this deficient practice presented a situation in which immediate
corrective action was necessary because Respondent’s non-compliance had caused, or was likely to
cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident receiving care in Respondent's
facility. The Agency cited Respondent for an isolated Class I deficiency as set forth in Section
400.23(8)(a), Florida Statutes (2007).
29. The Agency provided Respondent with a mandatory correction date of April 12, 2008.
WHEREFORE, the Agency intends to impose an administrative fine in the amount of
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00) against Respondent, a skilled nursing facility in the
State of Florida, pursuant to Sections 400.23(8)(a) and 400.102, Florida Statutes (2007).
COUNT I |
The Respondent Failed To Provide Continuous Oxygen To A Resident As Ordered By A
Physician In Violation Of Section 400.102(1), Florida Statutes (2007) :
30. The Agency re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs one (1) through five (5).
31. Pursuant to Florida law, in addition to the grounds listed in Part II of Chapter 408, Florida
Statutes (2007), the following condition shall be grounds for action by the agency against a
licensee: An intentional or negligent act materially affecting the health or safety of residents of the
facility. Section 400.102(1), Florida Statutes (2007).
32. Onor about March 11, 2008 through March 12, 2008 the Agency conducted a Complaint
Investigation (CCR# 2008003055) of the Respondent’s facility.
33. Based on observation, record review, facility record review, and interviews with facility
staff, residents, and family members, the facility neglected to provide one (1) of five (5) sampled
residents, Resident number five (5), with continuous oxygen as ordered by the resident’s physician
and required, as evidenced throughout the resident’s stay that the resident’s oxygen saturation
(percentage of oxygen in the blood) was low upon exertion, getting out of bed or with no exertion
at all, even with the continuous use of oxygen.
34, Facility staff removed Resident number five’s (5) oxygen and transported him/her into the
shower room for a shower and Resident number five (5) died. After the incident the facility
implemented an action plan but observation on March 11, 2008 during the initial tour of the
facility revealed a resident was being taken out of his/her room without oxygen by a Certified
Nursing Assistant who had not been instructed in the action plan. The failure of the facility to
ensure the action plan was fully implemented jeopardized the health and safety of all residents.
35. During an interview by phone on March 10, 2008 at 9:13 p.m., the daughter of Resident
number five (5) stated her parent, Resident number five’s (5) spouse, told her that Staff number
one (1) came into Resident number five’s (5) room on March 5, 2008, and said it was Resident
number five’s (5) shower day and removed his/her oxygen. The daughter of Resident number five
(5) said that Resident number five’s (5) spouse told Staff number one (1) that Resident number
five (5) is supposed to be on oxygen and needs to keep it on. Staff number one (1) told Resident
number five’s spouse that Resident number five (5) would be fine without his/her oxygen. Staff
number one (1) wheeled Resident number five (5) out of his/her room without Resident number
five’s (5) oxygen and within a few minutes Resident number five’s (5) spouse saw staff running
into the shower room with oxygen tanks. The doctor was in the facility at this time. The doctor
took Resident number five’s (5) spouse into the shower room and he/she saw Resident number five
6) slumped in his/her shower chair and was told by the doctor that Resident number five (5) had
passed away. Resident number five’s (5) daughter stated the cause of Resident number five’s (5)
death was contributed to by the fact Resident number five (5) did not have his/her oxygen on while
taking a shower even when Staff number one (1) was reminded Resident number five (5) needed it.
36. A review of Resident number five’s (5) medical record revealed he/she was admitted into
the facility on January 30, 2008 with diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, congestive heart failure,
shortness of breath, major cardiovascular surgery and debility. Resident number five (5) was
admitted into the facility from the hospital for congestive heart failure and pulmonary fibrosis.
Resident number five (5) was discharged from the hospital with other diagnoses of respiratory
failure, secondary interstitial lung disease and respiratory insufficiency. Upon admission to the
facility, Resident number five (5) had a doctor's order for oxygen via concentrator at four (4) liters
per minute every shift. A further review of Resident number five’s (5) medical record revealed the
doctor's order did not change throughout Resident number five’s (5) stay at the facility. The order
for the oxygen was an as needed order.
37. A review of the nurse's notes for Resident number five (5) revealed documentation
throughout his/her stay that Resident number five (5) used oxygen continuously and Resident
number five’s (5) oxygen saturation (percentage of oxygen in the blood) was low upon exertion,
when getting out of bed or with no exertion at all. The following are nurse's notes documenting
Resident number five’s (5) oxygen levels:
February 9, 2008: "CNA (certified nursing assistant) took resident to the bathroom...res.
(resident) was SOB (shortness of breath)." "02 (oxygen) sat (saturation) was 89-90%." Normal
range of oxygen saturation for Resident number five (5) is the low 90%. "Res. put back in bed
keep HOB (head of bed) up. o sat up to 96-97%.
February 10, 2008 "02 sat 94 on oxygen. Spouse requesting staff get Resident number five

38. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing on March 12, 2008 at 9:15 am.
and she stated the oxygen orders for Resident number five (5) are on the Activities of Daily Living
care plan sheet for all Certified Nursing Assistants to read. A review of the Activities of Daily
Living sheet revealed Resident number five’s (5) oxygen order read "02 4L (liter) N/C
(nasal/cannula) per shift." A review of Resident number five’s (5) Minimum Data Sheet
Assessment revealed Resident number five (5) required extensive assistance from staff for
showers/baths.
39. Another interview with the Director of Nursing was conducted at 11:00 a.m. on March 12,
2008. She stated she started an investigation on Resident number five’s (5) death on March 5,
2008. A written statement from the Certified Nursing Assistant, Staff number one (1), was given’
to the Director of Nursing during this investigation. The Director of Nursing stated Staff number
one (1) gave Resident number five (5) a shower. Resident number five (5) washed his/her hair and
face and after the shower as Resident number five (5) was drying he/she started shaking and not
looking good. The Certified Nursing Assistant called for a Registered Nurse for help. Another
Certified Nursing Assistant came in the shower room and a rehabilitation staff called out to
Resident number five (5) but Resident number five (5) did not respond. A Registered Nurse came
in with an oxygen tank which was empty and a second oxygen tank was brought in but was empty
as well. A third oxygen tank was brought in and that one had oxygen in it. The nurse put the
oxygen on Resident number five (5), but it was too late. This was the end of Staff number one’s
(1) statement. The Director of Nursing stated she put Staff number one (1) on suspension while
she continued her investigation.
40. An interview was conducted with Staff number one (1) by telephone on March 12, 2008 at
2:30 p.m. Staff number one (1) requested a translator during this interview which was provided by
the facility. Staff number one (1) stated she was told by a nurse to give Resident number five (5)
a shower. When Staff number one (1) got off of break at approximately 10:00 am, Staff number
one (1) went into Resident number five’s (5) bedroom and Resident number five’s (5) spouse was
there. Staff number one (1) told Resident number five’s (5) spouse she was going to take Resident
number five (5) to the shower. Resident number five’s (5) spouse told Staff number one (1) that
Resident number five (5) is on oxygen and that Resident number five’s (5) spouse would tell
Resident number five (5) to have a shower. Resident number five’s (5) spouse told Staff number
one (1) that Resident number five’s (5) spouse was surprised Resident number five (5) was going
to take a shower because Resident number five’s (5) spouse never thinks Resident number five (5)
wants the shower. Both Resident number five (5) and Resident number five’s (5) spouse agreed to
the shower. Resident number five’s (5) spouse wanted to help assist the staff to get Resident
number five (5) to sit up in bed. Staff number one (1) put Resident number five (5) in his/her
chair. Staff number one (1) said she does not know who took the oxygen off of Resident number
five (5). Staff number one (1) stated she did not know what the oxygen order was for Resident
number five (5). Staff number one (1) said the nurse is supposed to give this information to her.
Staff number one (1) said she does not know anything about the oxygen. The oxygen information
is not on the Activities of Daily Living sheet and Resident number five’s (5) spouse did not tell
Staff number one (1) anything about the oxygen. Staff number one (1) also said this was the first
time she had worked with Resident number five (5).
41. Aninterview was conducted with the Director of Nursing when the telephone interview
with Staff number one (1) was completed. The Director of Nursing stated Staff number one (1)
had worked with Resident number five (5) before but not on his/her shower day. The Director of
Nursing gave six (6) Certified Nursing Assistant names who have worked with Resident number
five (5) during the days Resident number five (5) is scheduled to take showers. The shower days
are Wednesday and Saturday. The six (6) Certified Nursing Assistants were interviewed on
March 12, 2008. Five (5) of the six (6) Certified Nursing Assistants stated they gave Resident
number five (5) bed baths. One Certified Nursing Assistant stated Resident number five (5)
couldn't tolerate sitting in his/her wheelchair for too long. One Certified Nursing Assistant stated
she could not remember if she gave Resident number five (5) bed baths or showers.
42. At3:30 p.m. on March 12, 2008 an interview was held with Resident number five’s (5)
spouse by telephone. Resident number five’s (5) spouse stated he/she was in the room with
Resident number five (5) on March 5, 2008 in the morning when Staff number one (1) walked into
the room and told both Resident number five’s (5) spouse and Resident number five (5) that Staff
number one (1) was giving Resident number five (5) a shower. Resident number five’s (5) spouse
told Staff number one (1) it was news to Resident number five’s (5) spouse because Resident
number five (5) has been getting sponge baths from the other staff since Resident number five (5)
has been at the facility. Resident number five’s (5) spouse stated that Resident number five’s (5)
spouse and Resident number five (5) were not asked if Resident number five (5) wanted a shower
but were told Resident number five (5) was getting a shower. Resident number five’s (5) spouse
told Staff number one (1) Resident number five’s (5) spouse did not think it was possible for
Resident number five (5) to have a shower with oxygen on. Staff number one (1) told Resident
13
number five’s (5) spouse, "he/she will be fine." Staff number one (1) then took the oxygen off
Resident number five (5) and started to wheel Resident number five (5) out of the bedroom.
Resident number five’s (5) spouse told Staff number one (1), "wait a minute", and told Staff
number one (1) Resident number five (5) couldn't be without oxygen and said, "He/she needs
his/her oxygen to breathe." Staff number one (1) told Resident number five’s (5) spouse Resident
number five (5) "will be fine." Staff number one (1) took Resident number five (5) out of the
room to go to the shower room. Resident number five’s (5) spouse stated Resident number five’s
(5) spouse was following them out of the room when Resident number five’s (5) spouse went back
into the room to get Resident number five’s (5) spouse’s purse/wallet. Resident number five’s (5)
spouse’s phone was ringing and Resident number five’s (5) spouse answered it. When Resident
number five’s (5) spouse finished the telephone conversation, Resident number five’s (5) spouse
went out into the hallway to see where Staff number one (1) took Resident number five (5).
Resident number five’s (5) spouse said within a few minutes Resident number five’s (5) spouse
saw staff running to a room with oxygen tanks. After a few minutes, the doctor went to Resident
number five’s (5) room and took Resident number five’s (5) spouse into the shower room to see
that Resident number five (5) had passed away.
43. A review of records reveals the facility had the oxygen information for Resident number
five (5) in Resident number five’s (5) medical records and on the Activities of Daily Living care
plan for the Certified Nursing Assistants to review daily. The Director of Nursing stated these
Activities of Daily Living care plans are updated with information as changes occur for each
resident. The doctor's order for the oxygen for Resident number five (5) has not changed since
Resident number five’s (5) admission to the facility and this information is readily available to the
Certified Nursing Assistants. Also, Resident number five’s (5) spouse reminded Staff number one
(1) twice of Resident number five’s (5) need for the oxygen prior to being wheeled out of Resident
number five’s (5) room for a shower. Resident number five’s (5) spouse also told Staff number
one (1) that Resident number five (5) had not had any showers since Resident number five (5) was
admitted to the facility. Resident number five (5) has always received sponge baths from the other
Certified Nursing Assistants. Staff number one (1) chose to ignore all of this information,
removed Resident number five’s (5) oxygen and gave Resident number five (5) a shower instead
of a bed bath and Resident number five (5) died. The facility also had to bring three portable
oxygen containers to the shower room before finding one (1) that contained oxygen. This delay
could have contributed to Resident number five’s (5) death.
44. The Agency determined that this deficient practice presented a situation in which
immediate corrective action was necessary because Respondent’s non-compliance had caused, or
was likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident receiving care in
Respondent's facility. The Agency cited Respondent for an isolated Class I deficiency as set forth
in Section 400.23(8)(a), Florida Statutes (2007).
45. The Agency provided Respondent with a mandatory correction date of April 12, 2008.
WHEREFORE, the Agency intends to impose an administrative fine in the amount of
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00) against Respondent, a skilled nursing facility in the
State of Florida, pursuant to Sections 400.23(8)(a) and 400.102, Florida Statutes (2007).
