Nursing homes and other healthcare facilities must ensure that staff are properly trained and certified in CPR for Healthcare Providers and have systems in place to provide basic life support, including CPR, to any resident requiring emergency care prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel. This must be done in accordance with accepted professional guidelines, the resident's advance directives, and physician orders. Facilities must also have policies in place to document a resident's wishes regarding CPR, obtain physician orders to support these wishes, and communicate the resident's preferences to all staff. Additionally, facilities must inform residents of their right to formulate advance directives and must not have a facility-wide "no CPR" policy. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in Immediate Jeopardy to the resident's health and safety.
