Based on closed medical record review, review of hospital records, staff and emergency medical technician (EMT) interviews, review of the paramedic incident report review, and review of the blood glucose monitoring system user’s guide, the facility failed to ensure one resident, identified as having a Full Code status, was appropriately monitored for a change in condition and received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately upon [MEDICAL CONDITION], without a pulse, respirations, or blood pressure. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy when Resident #3 was not monitored once she became unresponsive with deteriorating vital signs and as a result did not receive CPR until emergency medical services (EMS) arrived at the facility and found the resident in [MEDICAL CONDITION]. This affected one (#3) of three residents reviewed for death. The facility identified 47 current residents who were designated as having a Full Code status. On [DATE] at 4:37 P.M., Regional Nurse Consultants (RNCs) #75 and #76 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] at 7:10 P.M. when Resident #3 was assessed at the request of the family. Resident #3 had an oxygen saturation at 72 percent (%) and respirations were eight to 10 per minute. Oxygen was applied and at 7:20 P.M., nine-one-one (911) was called at the family’s request. The residents’ medical status was not monitored and Resident #3 was in [MEDICAL CONDITION] when the paramedics arrived at 7:25 P.M. Resident #3 was pronounced dead at the facility at 7:53 P.M.
