Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff maintained current CPR certification as required by its policy and procedures. Specifically, one LPN's BLS certification had expired and was not renewed by the required date, as confirmed through personnel record review and interviews with both the LPN and the Director of Nursing. The facility's policy mandates that key clinical staff maintain up-to-date BLS/CPR certification, but this requirement was not met in this instance.
