facility did not assess Resident 70 his risk for
entrapment with the side rails prior to
installation. The facility did not ensure the bed's
dimension are appropriate for Resident 70's
size and weight prior to the installation of the
side rails. The facility did not place Resident 70
with the least restrictive form of restraint prior
to installation of the side rails. Resident 70 had
10 falls since his admission to the facility on
4/19/18. On 11/15/18, Resident 70 sustained a
fall and his right arm was caught between the
side rail and the bed. Resident 70's fall care
plan did not reflect an intervention to ensure
safety measures were in place to protect
Resident 70 from injuries and further falls.
During an observation, Resident 70 had no
activities in place to meet his needs and
preferences. Resident 70 was on Ambien (a
medication used to treat difficulty in sleeping)
and Trazodone (a medication used to treat
depression- feelings of prolonged sadness) and
the facility did not follow the pharmacy
recommendations to review both medications
as a duplicate therapy. Resident 70 was
admitted on Keppra (a medication used to treat
seizure) medication without evaluation by the
Primary Care Physician (PCP) to determine the
need to continue the medication. Resident 70
was not diagnosed with seizures and Resident
70 did not had any seizure episode since
admission to the facility. These deficient
practices placed Resident 70 at risk for
entrapment and further injuries from repeated
falls. These deficient practices also placed
Resident 70 at risk to receive unnecessary
psychotropic medications (a medication that
affects brain activities associated with mental
processes and behavior) without an
assessment from the physician. The facility
submitted an acceptable Action Plan (AP)
which included one on one supervision for
Resident 70, identifying and monitoring his
behaviors for the Interdisciplinary Team (a

§483.10(e)(3) The right to reside and receive
services in the facility with reasonable
accommodation of resident needs and
preferences except when to do so would
endanger the health or safety of the resident or
other residents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide reasonable
accommodation of residents needs for two of
40 sampled residents (Resident 70 and
Resident 54) when:
1. Resident 70's call light hung on the wall and
was not within Resident 70's reach.
2. Resident 54's call light was at the edge of
the left lower end of the side rail and was not
within Resident 54's reach.
These failures had the potential to result in
Resident 70 and Resident 54 not assisted by
staff in the event of need or in an emergency.
Findings:
1. Resident 70's face sheet (a document
containing resident profile information)
indicated Resident 70 was admitted to the
facility on 4/19/18 with diagnoses which
included muscle weakness and dementia
(memory loss) with behavior disturbance.

Resident 56 was diagnosed with Progressive
Supranuclear Palsy (PSP - a brain disorder that
affects the ability to swallow and affects the
ability to walk with a steady gait, balance and
speech) on 4/18/18. Resident 56's diagnosis of
PSP was not communicated to the Primary
Care Physician and Interdisciplinary team (IDTa group of health care professionals from
diverse fields who work in a coordinated
fashion toward a common goal for the patient).
Based on this new diagnosis and high risk for
choking there was no updated care plan and no
intervention in place. Resident 56 had multiple
teeth extractions and there was no documented
assessment performed by Licensed Nurses
after Resident 56 returned from his dental
appointments. Resident 56's multiple teeth
extractions could have placed the resident at a
higher risk of choking affecting his chewing and
swallowing ability. These facts were not
communicated to the Speech Pathologist for a
swallow evaluation to be done.
These failures resulted in Resident 56 not

PSP, such as swallow evaluation, possible

heard [Resident 56] cough like that."
On 12/5/18 at 9:16 a.m., during an interview,
Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 stated, "A CNA came to
me [on 11/29/18] and told me [Resident 56]
might be aspirating. [Resident 56] didn't talk. I
told him to lift up his head, I looked into his
mouth and I saw a white drool mixed with food.
I ran out to the nurses' station [calling out] that I
need help [Resident 56] is choking. I called
[Name of Ambulance Company] at around 7:25
a.m. [11/29/18] that I need an emergency
transport, a resident is choking. I told them to
send an ambulance with lights and sirens. I
need emergency transfer now." LN 2 pointed at
a paper written with the name and number of
the ambulance company located at the nurses
station and stated that was the number she
used to call for the ambulance. LN 2 stated, "I
came back to the nurses station and [the time]
was 7:55 a.m. I was angry. Where are [the
paramedics]. I see them out there parked at the
front door [located across the street from the
facility]. I asked them are you guys the lights
and siren guys and he said yeah that's how
busy we are. I told them I think our patient just
passed away and they said what room... I don't
understand what took them so long. They could
have saved him. They are well equipped. They
didn't even come with the lights and sirens on. I
would have heard it but I didn't hear it. I never
have to send a resident on a real emergency.
Usually it's planned and [paramedics] respond
right away but this time, I don't know why they
didn't come right away."

there watching him. Nobody supervised him.
They just put his tray and leave. My sister
comes in on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
We eat lunch together. When we eat together,
he coughs a lot that's why he needed some
supervision. My sister was not here every day
to watch for him. Somebody with that problem
shouldn't be left alone in the room while eating.
We shouldn't have to be mourning his death if

On 12/5/18 at 3:46 p.m., during a concurrent

Pathologist (SP) reviewed Resident 56's
speech therapy notes and plan of care dated
4/10/17 which indicated the facility referred
Resident 56 to SP for a swallow evaluation due
to reports from caregivers of Resident 56
having swallowing difficulties during meals. The
SP stated he performed the initial swallow
evaluation on 4/10/17 and documented
Resident 56 was having difficulty masticating
[chewing] foods, and was observed with
occasional coughing during meals. The SP
stated Resident 56 and the family report
intermittent [swallowing] difficulty. The SP
stated Resident 56 was at risk for aspiration on
liquids and required intermittent supervision.

on mechanical soft diet (is a diet that includes
soft and easy to chew foods for people who
have difficulty chewing and swallowing), honey

should be care planned so the nursing team
would communicate and take care of his
needs. It should also be [added] in his
diagnosis but I don't see it included in his
diagnoses. When I received the document after

have done that. It made it look like I didn't do it.
I didn't put it in the electronic health care record

The DON stated, "I did not know that [Resident

If it got worst, we would have to send him back

diagnosis added to his list of diagnoses. The
DON stated, "It should be included in the

level of assistance when eating] for [Resident

him by the nursing staff. The PCP stated, "I'm

now for the meaning of PSP. It means the
resident will have swallowing problems... [The

anytime but I was not informed about the new

texture is a big thing..."
On 12/7/18 at 8:46 a.m., during a telephone

[Resident 56] last April 2018 and I diagnosed
him with PSP. It means the patient cannot
swallow, [he] will fall more. It's like a death
sentence for the patient. With a swallow eval
[evaluation] it may prolong his life... The facility
should have known he had PSP. I wrote
monitoring but [the facility] has their own
speech therapist. They should have made a
referral with the speech therapist when they
saw the diagnosis that he had PSP. A speech
evaluation should have been made. The
resident needs supervision with eating and
walking because [he] will have more difficulty
with swallowing and walking as the disease
progresses. It's a simple job they need to do.
They need to look at the diagnosis and find out
what the best care to give the patient. That's
why nursing homes are there to provide the
best care for the patient. They should not just
file the paper with the diagnosis. They should
read it and find out about it and what it means
to the patient's care. That's what nursing care
is for, to be able to provide a better care for the
patient and their needs. [The facility] has a
speech therapist that should work with him."

On 12/7/18 at 9:14 a.m., during an interview,
LN 5 stated she has been working in the facility
for 6 years. LN 5 stated, "If [residents] are
choking or having a stroke, I start the Heimlich
maneuver... I would call 911 first because it's
an emergency situation. I never had to send
somebody out on an emergency. The most
recent one I sent out was a resident had a

bladder] so I called [Name of Ambulance
Company] but if it's an emergency I would call
911.
On 12/7/18 at 9:25 a.m., during an interview,
LN 1 stated she would call 911 in a life and
death situation such as when a resident was
choking. LN 1 stated she would call the [name

On 12/7/18 at 10:01 a.m., during a telephone

Ambulance Company] for everything, for
emergency and non-emergency... I will not call
911. That's what [licensed nurses] were trained
when I got hired and that's what I did."
On 12/7/18 at 9:35 a.m., during an interview,
the CNO stated, "For both emergency and nonemergency, nurses are supposed to call [Name
of Ambulance Company]. If it is an emergency,
we specify lights and sirens. It will not make
any difference if we call 911 because there's
only one Ambulance Company in this area."
The CNO stated new hires and current staff are
given in-service training for unusual occurrence
such as fall prevention program, skin integrity
and choking.
On 12/7/18 at 9:45 a.m., during an interview,
the DON stated, "...If I am in that situation, I
could have handled it differently. I would have
called 911 directly since they will come
immediately and 911 would have dispatched
the fire department to respond competently in
an emergency situation." The DON stated the
facility does not have a specific policy for
responding in an emergency situation. The
DON stated it was included in the LN's Basic
Life Support (BLS) training that they knew how
to respond to an emergency like choking and
how to perform the Heimlich maneuver.
On 12/7/18 9:55 a.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the Director of
Staff Development (DSD) stated the LN's are
in-serviced annually on how to respond to an
emergency situation like choking prevention.

emergency situation like choking. The DSD
stated the facility does not have a specific
policy on how to respond when a resident was
choking. The DSD stated LN's are supposed to
call 911 for an emergency situation. The DSD
provided a facility document titled, "CPR
[Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation- an
emergency life-saving procedure performed
when someone's breathing or heartbeat has
stopped]" undated, indicated "... First Aid for
the Choking Victim: The Heimlich maneuver...
[the manual application of sudden upward
pressure on the upper abdomen of a choking
victim to force a foreign object from the
trachea] Choking is caused by an obstructed
airway and is one of the leading causes of
death. Everyone should know how to help a
person who is choking, and as medical
professionals, all CNAs are required to know
how to assist someone with an obstructed
airway caused by a foreign body... It is sensible
to have someone call 911. The Heimlich
maneuver may be successful. But it may not
work and it is much, much better to have
emergency personnel on the way then wait
until the person loses consciousness and then
call for help... Always call 911 or have
someone call for help..." The DSD stated she
goes over this document when she performs
her annual in-service training on choking with
the Licensed Nurses.
On 12/7/18 at 10:16 a.m., during an interview,
LN 6 stated, "If it's an emergency, I would
immediately call 911. If it's a non-emergency
situation, I would assess the resident and I
would call the PCP. If the PCP says to send
resident out then I would call the ambulance

they are having a heart attack or choking, I
would definitely call 911 because it's an

On 12/7/18 at 10:43 a.m., during a telephone
interview, [Ambulance Company]
representative stated, "[The facility] usually
gets a hold of us through 911 or by calling us
directly. Sometimes it depends on the
situation... but I would think if it's a real
emergency situation [staff] would call 911 as far
as I know."
On 12/7/18 at 12:16 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, LN 7 opened a
facility binder located at the nurse's station and
pointed at the [Name of Ambulance Company]
number and stated, "I would call [name of

all emergencies."
On 12/10/18 at 9:40 a.m., during an interview,
the DSD stated she would call 911 for an
emergency situation such as when a resident
was choking. The DSD stated she would call
[Name of Ambulance Company] for nonemergency situations such as when a resident
will be transferred out of the facility to General
Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for a procedure.
On 12/10/18 at 9:50 a.m., during an interview,
LN 8 stated she would call 911 for every
emergency situation such as when a resident
was choking or having chest pain. LN 8 stated
she would call [Name of Ambulance Company]
for non-emergency situations and if residents
were stable enough to be transferred to GACH
for an evaluation. LN 8 stated, "The difference
between calling 911 and the [name of
Ambulance Company] is that, 911 can dispatch
an ambulance that is available right away."

checked to see if the ambulance arrived to the
facility while Resident 56 was still choking. LN
2 stated she did not call the paramedics to ask
if they were on the way to the facility.
On 12/10/18 at 10:53 a.m., during an interview,
the DON stated nobody from the facility staff
checked to see if the ambulance arrived at the

On 12/27/18 at 9:17 a.m., during a telephone
interview, [Ambulance Company] Compliance
Officer stated, "If the facility needs emergency
transport, they should call 911. They should not
be calling for the ambulance number. The
ambulance number is different from 911." The
Ambulance Compliance Officer stated 911 was
used for emergency situations and the
ambulance direct phone number was used for
non-emergency situations.
On 1/3/19 at 8:20 a.m., during a telephone
interview, FM 1 stated, "[Resident 56] was
having a lot of problems with speech,
swallowing and walking. That's why I wanted

the facility on April 2017 FM stated, "[Resident
56's] voice was not clear enough. I have to tell
him to speak louder and he told me he couldn't.
I requested another appointment to a

his speech problem so he could communicate
better and other things that needs to be
addressed like swallowing."

computer and was unable to find documented
assessment for the reason Resident 56 went to
multiple dental appointments. LN 4 stated, "It
should be documented in the progress notes. It
should have been documented when the
[dental] appointment was made so [Licensed
Nurses] knew why [Resident 56] was going to
the [dentist]. It should be documented in case it
doesn't get passed on [to the next shift]." LN 4
stated it was important Licensed Nurses
assessed and documented in the nurse's

his dental appointment and after Resident 56
comes back from his dental appointment to
ensure continuity of care and provide his care
needs. LN 4 stated Resident 56 has a low tone

sister. Resident 17 stated, "I just don't
understand, they knew he had problems with
swallowing. He needed to have supervision
while eating. Somebody should have been
there watching him. Nobody supervised him.
They just put his tray and leave. My sister

On 12/5/18 at 3:46 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the Speech
Pathologist (SP) reviewed Resident 56's
speech therapy notes and plan of care dated
4/10/17 which indicated the facility referred
Resident 56 to SP for a swallow evaluation due
to reports from caregivers of Resident 56
having swallowing difficulties during meals. The
SP stated he performed the initial swallow
evaluation on 4/10/17 and documented
Resident 56 was having difficulty masticating
[chewing] foods, and was observed with
occasional coughing during meals. The SP
stated Resident 56 and the family report
intermittent [swallowing] difficulty. The SP
stated Resident 56 was at risk for aspiration on
liquids and required intermittent supervision.
The SP stated, "He [Resident 56] was admitted
on mechanical soft diet (is a diet that includes
soft and easy to chew foods for people who
have difficulty chewing and swallowing), honey
thick liquids. When I discharged him [on
5/5/17], he did not require cueing and
supervision with mechanical soft texture. He
was safe to eat by himself. I told him to take
small sips, small bites and he was able to
demonstrate it safely." The SP note dated
5/8/17 indicated, "The [Resident 56] wishes to
remain on current mechanical soft texture diet
with nectar thick liquids to minimize risk of
aspiration ... Precautions: ...Aspiration ...
[Resident 56] and family report intermittent

team effort that involved Licensed Nurses and
CNA's to observe him and supervise him while
eating. The SP stated, "[The facility] would

problems and would make a referral for me to

On 12/5/18 at 4:26 p.m., during a telephone
interview, Family Member (FM) 1 stated she
took Resident 56 to an appointment with
Neurologist (Neuro- brain and spinal cord
Medical Doctor [Neuro MD]) on 4/18/18 and
Resident 56 was diagnosed with PSP. FM 1
stated she took Resident 56 to the neuro MD
because Resident 56 began to have difficulty
speaking and was falling frequently. FM 1
stated Resident 56's voice was, "Very soft
spoken that you could hardly hear his voice or
understand him." FM 1 stated she was
concerned and wanted to know what was
wrong with him. FM 1 stated she wanted to
know if Resident 56 had Parkinson disease (a
progressive disease of the nervous system
marked by tremor, muscular stiffness, and
slow, rough movement). FM 1 stated,
"[Resident 56] got diagnosed last April [2018]
with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. It was
paralysis in the muscles. It affected his speech,
walking and swallowing. The [Neuro MD] told
me it's a progressive disease." FM 1 stated she
comes to the facility every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday to visit Resident 56 and
Resident 17 and they would have lunch
together. FM 1 stated, "One time, we had lunch
and something got stuck in his throat. I took
[Resident 56] out to the nurses' station and told
the nurse something got stuck in his throat. I
told a [Licensed Nurse] and she just gave him a
pudding. I cut [Resident 56's] food in small

On 12/6/18 at 9:10 a.m., during an interview,
CNA 2 stated she had been working in the
facility for 26 years and took care of Resident
56. CNA 2 stated Resident 56 was observed to
decline for the past months. CNA 2 stated
Resident 56's voice changed to a very low tone
and was at times difficult to understand. CNA 2
stated Resident 56 was becoming weaker and
began to fall more often. CNA 2 stated she was
unaware if he had swallowing issues because
she would only set-up the meal tray for
Resident 56 to eat his meal in his room and
was not present while Resident 56 was eating.
CNA 2 stated Resident 56 was not supervised

Resident 56's clinical record and was not able
to find a care plan for his new diagnosis of PSP
and how to address his care needs. LN 4
stated, "I have never done a care plan. It
should be care planned so the nursing team
would communicate and take care of his
needs. It should also be [added] in his
diagnosis but I don't see it included in his
diagnoses. When I received the document after
his appointment I should have documented it

I didn't put it in the electronic health care record

is what we were trained as nurses." LN 4
stated Resident 56's Primary Care Physician
(PCP) should have been informed of his new
diagnosis but she did not communicate this to
him. LN 4 stated, "If we noticed that residents
are having problems with swallowing we get a

interview, the Neuro MD stated, "I saw
[Resident 56] last April 2018 and I diagnosed
him with PSP. It means the patient cannot
swallow, [he] will fall more. It's like a death
sentence for the patient. With a swallow eval
[evaluation] it may prolong his life... The facility
should have known he had PSP. I wrote
monitoring but [the facility] has their own
speech therapist. They should have made a
referral with the speech therapist when they
saw the diagnosis that he had PSP. A speech
evaluation should have been made. The
resident needs supervision with eating and
walking because [he] will have more difficulty
with swallowing and walking as the disease
progresses. It's a simple job they need to do.
They need to look at the diagnosis and find out
what the best care to give the patient. That's
why nursing homes are there to provide the
best care for the patient. They should not just
file the paper with the diagnosis. They should
read it and find out about it and what it means
to the patient's care. That's what nursing care
is for, to be able to provide a better care for the
patient and their needs. [The facility] has a
speech therapist that should work with him."

pressure on the upper abdomen of a choking
victim to force a foreign object from the
trachea] Choking is caused by an obstructed
airway and is one of the leading causes of
death. Everyone should know how to help a
person who is choking, and as medical
professionals, all CNAs are required to know
how to assist someone with an obstructed
airway caused by a foreign body... It is sensible
to have someone call 911. The Heimlich
maneuver may be successful. But it may not
work and it is much, much better to have
emergency personnel on the way then wait
until the person loses consciousness and then
call for help... Always call 911 or have
someone call for help..." The DSD stated she
goes over this document when she performs
her annual in-service training on choking with
the Licensed Nurses.
On 12/7/18 at 10:16 a.m., during an interview,
LN 6 stated, "If it's an emergency, I would
immediately call 911. If it's a non-emergency
situation, I would assess the resident and I
would call the PCP. If the PCP says to send
resident out then I would call the ambulance
which is [Name of Ambulance Company] but if
they are having a heart attack or choking, I
would definitely call 911 because it's an
emergency. The nurses on the floor trained me
what to do in case of an emergency situation
and they told me to call 911."
On 12/7/18 at 10:43 a.m., during a telephone
interview, [Ambulance Company]
representative stated, "[The facility] usually
gets a hold of us through 911 or by calling us
directly. Sometimes it depends on the
situation... but I would think if it's a real
emergency situation [staff] would call 911 as far
as I know."

all emergencies."
On 12/10/18 at 9:40 a.m., during an interview,
the DSD stated she would call 911 for an
emergency situation such as when a resident
was choking. The DSD stated she would call
[Name of Ambulance Company] for nonemergency situations such as when a resident
will be transferred out of the facility to General
Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for a procedure.
On 12/10/18 at 9:50 a.m., during an interview,
LN 8 stated she would call 911 for every
emergency situation such as when a resident
was choking or having chest pain. LN 8 stated
she would call [Name of Ambulance Company]
for non-emergency situations and if residents
were stable enough to be transferred to GACH
for an evaluation. LN 8 stated, "The difference
between calling 911 and the [name of

an ambulance that is available right away."

Officer stated, "If the facility needs emergency
transport, they should call 911. They should not
be calling for the ambulance number. The
ambulance number is different from 911." The
Ambulance Compliance Officer stated 911 was
used for emergency situations and the
ambulance direct phone number was used for
non-emergency situations.
On 1/3/19 at 8:20 a.m., during a telephone
interview, FM 1 stated, "[Resident 56] was
having a lot of problems with speech,
swallowing and walking. That's why I wanted
him seen by a neurologist. [The facility staff]
were saying [Resident 56] was high

the facility on April 2017 FM stated, "[Resident
56's] voice was not clear enough. I have to tell
him to speak louder and he told me he couldn't.
I requested another appointment to a
neurologist and the reason for the referral was
his speech problem so he could communicate
better and other things that needs to be
addressed like swallowing."

assessed and documented in the nurse's

his dental appointment and after Resident 56
comes back from his dental appointment to
ensure continuity of care and provide his care
needs. LN 4 stated Resident 56 has a low tone

him Resident 56 was choking. LN 3 stated he
went inside Resident 56's room, went to the
right side of the bed and Resident 56's right
side rail was up. LN 3 stated he did not put the
right side rail down as he was preparing to
perform the Heimlich maneuver. LN 3 stated he
positioned Resident 56's on the left side of the
bed. LN 3 stated he placed his hands on the
xiphoid process (lower part of the breast bone)
and began abdominal thrusts. LN 3 stated, the
Heimlich maneuver was not working and
Resident 56 was still choking. LN 3 stated,
"The ambulance took a long time to arrive
because we didn't call 9-1-1." LN 3 stated LN 2
should have not left Resident 56's room when
she found him choking but should have started
the Heimlich maneuver right away. LN 3 stated
he performed a finger sweep (a technique for
clearing a mechanical obstruction from the
upper airway. The rescuer opens the victim's
mouth by grasping the lower jaw and tongue
between the thumb and fingers. The rescuer
then attempts to sweep the foreign object out
of the victim's mouth with a finger) on Resident
56 to clear his airway. LN 3 stated, "I saw
something in his mouth. I tried to [perform a
finger sweep] but he bit me so I don't want to
make [Resident 56] more nervous. It might
dislodge [the food bolus] further down if you do
a finger sweep."

On 1/4/19 at 9:22 a.m., during a telephone
interview, the Registered Dietitian (RD) stated
she was not informed by the facility that
Resident 56 had tooth extractions and dental
procedures. The RD stated, "I would refer
[Resident 56] to speech [pathologist] or check
with him how he is eating and doing on his
current diet. We can do a downgrade [of
Resident 56's diet] if needed. Downgrading [a
diet] is easier and safer than upgrading [a
diet]."
On 1/4/19 at 10:59 a.m., during an interview,
LN 2 stated when Resident 56 started choking,
she ran out to the nurse's station to ask for
help. LN 2 stated there was a CNA in the room
and at the time Resident 56 was choking, the
CNA continued feeding Resident 56's
roommate. LN 2 stated she found LN 3 at the
nurse's station and asked for help to respond to
Resident 56. LN 2 stated LN 3 performed four
abdominal thrusts on Resident 56 and Resident
56 was still choking. LN 2 stated she went
outside Resident 56's room to go to the nurse's
station. LN 2 stated, "After four [abdominal
thrusts], I'm going to call [Number and Name of
Ambulance Company]." LN 2 stated after
calling the Ambulance Company's main phone
line, she went back to Resident 56's room and

that she needed to call 911 in an emergency
life threatening situation. LN 2 stated, "I should
have responded to [Resident 56] when he was

stated, "I think I remember, [Resident 56] was
getting his tooth extracted to be fitted with
partial [dentures]. I heard it from another nurse.
I did not refer [Resident 56] to RD and SP." LN

Resident 70's needs and preferences for
activities.
1d. The facility failed to assess Resident 70 for
duplicate therapy (prescribing multiple
medications for the same medical indication)
when resident was receiving both Ambien and
Trazodone and did not follow Pharmacy
Consultant recommendations to discontinue
one of the medications.
1e. Resident 70 was prescribed and
administered multiple psychotropic medications
and the Pharmacy Consultant (PHARM)
recommended a reduction or elimination of
drugs to comply with standards of practice.
1f. Resident 70 was admitted on Keppra (a
medication used to treat seizures) without
seizure diagnosis and evaluation by the
Primary Care Physician (PCP) to determine the
need to continue the medication. Resident 70
did not have seizure episode since admission
to the facility. The facility failed to follow up with
Resident 70's PCP and evaluate if Resident 70

not meeting the needs of the resident and not
keeping the resident safe.

emergent situation and delayed calling

group of health care professionals from diverse
fields who work in a coordinated fashion toward
a common goal for the patient). Based on this
new diagnosis and high risk for choking there
was no updated care plan and no intervention
in place. Resident 56 had multiple teeth
extractions and there was no documented
assessment performed by Licensed Nurses
after Resident 56 returned from his dental
appointments. Resident 56's multiple teeth
extractions could have placed the resident at a
higher risk of choking affecting his chewing and
swallowing ability. These facts were not
communicated to the Speech Pathologist for a
swallow evaluation to be done.
These failures resulted in Resident 56 not
receiving the care needed for a diagnosis of
PSP, such as swallow evaluation, possible
supervision during meals, modified meals and
other services required for PSP.
Findings:
1a. Resident 70's face sheet (a document
containing resident profile information)
indicated Resident 70 was admitted to the
facility on 4/19/18 with diagnoses which
included cerebral infarction (a portion of the
brain that has restricted blood supply), muscle
weakness, dementia (memory loss) with
behavior disturbance, epilepsy (abnormal
electrical activity in the brain), insomnia
(difficulty in sleeping), bipolar disorder (mental
illness characterized by episodes of mood
swings), major depressive disorder (mental
illness characterized by feelings of prolonged
sadness) and peripheral vascular disease

rails. The DON stated, "The CNAs and nurses

rails. He is dead weight; he is non-ambulatory;
he came as a LTC [Long Term Care] resident.
A Hoyer lift [mechanical lift to assist a resident

the side rails was not done in July and started
reassessment in October. The DON stated no
one admitted who put up the lower side rails.
The DON emphasized staff were aware they
were not to put all four rails in the up position.
The DON stated Resident 70 could have
injured himself while the four rails were up. The
DON stated, "[Resident 70] could be at risk for
entrapment, but with all the side rails up he
could still get through." The DON stated, "We
do not consider this (meaning side rails up) a

there was no monitoring plan to make sure the
use of the side rails was safe.

the LN 9 stated she was at the nurses' desk
when Resident 70 yelled out at the time of the
fall on 11/15/18. LN 9 stated she went to
Resident 70's room across from the nurses'
desk and saw Resident 70 sitting on the floor
with his arm up between the side rail and the
mattress. LN 9 stated, "That's why we have the
risk versus [as opposed to] benefit statement
but [the rails] also help with mobility and he
helps by using the side rails during care." LN 9
stated the side rails could be a potential
hazard. LN 9 stated Resident 70 should have
been on the RNA (restorative nurse assistant)
program and the nurse was responsible to do
an evaluation at the time of a fall.
On 12/18/18 at 12:17 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the DON and ADM
reviewed the progress notes for the fall on
11/15/18 which indicated Resident 70's arm
was caught between the upper right side rail
and the mattress. The ADM stated, "We
brainstorm every single time; our immediate
intervention is based on discussion of falls. It
doesn't mean they don't have a right to fall."
The ADM stated they considered a low bed but
a low bed was not used. The DON stated, "I
don't see how more supervision could have
been provided. These falls are not contributing
to anything PT [Physical Therapy] could help
with." The DON stated, "Side rails can help and
they can hurt." The ADM stated they had
followed their policy for fall prevention.
On 12/19/18 at 11:41 a.m., during a concurrent
observation and interview, LN 1 measured the
gap between mattress and upper right and left
side rail on Resident 70's bed. The gap for both
sides of the bed was a space of 1.5 inches.

[Resident 70] should be in our study [for QAPI quality assurance prevention and intervention]
and should be reviewed for intervention. We
should be asking the questions how to keep
him safe." The DOR stated the facility does not
involve her department with assessments for
side rail safety. (DOR) stated she had been
working for 17 years with the facility and the

"[Resident 70] doesn't want to be in that bed
most of the time, he wants to be up on the
chair, but they keep him on the bed most of the
time." The FM stated, "[My Dad] loves bingo,
even hearing people playing bingo makes him
happy." The FM stated when Resident 70 was
admitted to the facility he loved to go outside,
watch the birds, play bingo, poker and other
card games. The FM stated she requested PT
for Resident 70 's legs but the staff did not
provide it. The FM stated, "I always get the
answer from the facility that he didn't want to
go bingo, but when I ask him he said he loves
bingo; he wants to go. It takes a lot of their time
to take him to bingo; maybe that's why they
don't take him to bingo." The FM stated she
was concerned about the side rail. The FM
stated, "He just lies in bed most of the time and
I feel they just forget about him." The FM stated
Resident 70 was calm when he saw more
people in the hallway. The FM stated, "He likes
to have the Bible read to him; he is a Christian.
I never saw anybody read the Bible to him."

On 12/19/18 9:45 a.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the ADM reviewed
the activity admission assessment dated
4/26/18 and the quarterly activity assessments
dated 7/19/18 and 10/27/18. The ADM stated
this survey brought to light the lack of
documentation for person-centered activities
for Resident 70. The ADM stated she had seen
the word "sleeping" recorded by a staff member
on the log which showed a possible attempt to
offer an activity. The ADM stated there needed
to be more of an effort to provide Resident 70
his choices of activities during room visits
according to preferences listed on the
assessment. The ADM stated she would like to
have seen documentation that clearly showed
the staff attempted but Resident 70 did not
participate. The ADM stated the form is not
thorough enough and a continuous effort to
document was needed. The ADM stated it was
unfortunate Resident 70 did not attend bingo
on 12/18/18 and did not know if the activities
staff asked Resident 70 to participate or offered
to take him to the religious service on 12/18/18.
The ADM stated they needed to continually try
to offer activities and do a better job of
documentation. The ADM stated her
expectation was for more documentation to
show what they are doing for Resident 70.

and told him antipsychotic medications should
not be given for dementia. The PHARM stated
the physician evaluated Resident 70's
diagnosis and changed it to bipolar disorder.
The PHARM stated Risperdal had potential to
cause anxiety in16% of patient, and Risperdal
might have caused the anxiety in Resident 70.
The PHARM stated the medication combination
could cause extreme drowsiness and the best
time to administer Ambien (medication to help

bed rails with the resident or resident
representative and obtain informed consent

§483.25(n)(4) Follow the manufacturers'

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to assess one of 40
sampled residents (Resident 70) for the risk of
entrapment (resident caught, trapped, or
entangled in the space in or about the bed and
side rail) from bed (side) rails (adjustable metal
or rigid plastic bars that attach to the bed), prior
to installation and failed to ensure safety
standards were met for the installation of bed
rails when Resident 70 was observed with four
bed rails up and his legs entrapped between
the gap of the bed and side rails almost
touching the ground .
The Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff:
Hospital Bed System Dimensional and
Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment",
issued on 3/10/06, indicated that entrapment
may occur in flat or articulated (raised) bed
positions. To reduce the risk of head
entrapment, rail perimeter openings should not
be greater than four and three quarter inch. To
reduce the risk of neck entrapment the gap

recommendation also indicated the dimension
limits for the open space within the perimeter of
the rail should be small enough to prevent the
head from entering. The recommended space
should be less than four and three-quarter
inches..."
This failure resulted in bed (side) rail
entrapment for Resident 70 (bed user's legs
were entrapped within openings of the two side
rails and between the bed mattress) and place
Resident 70 at potential risk for serious harm,
injury or death.
Because of the serious potential harm related
to the use of side rails used without proper
assessment of the size of the bed, the weight
of the resident, and without an intervention to
prevent entrapment an Immediate Jeopardy
(IJ) situation was called on 12/19/18 at 1:45
p.m. with the Administrator, Director of Nursing,
Chief Nursing Officer and Director of
Operations.

On 12/7/18 at 8:30 a.m., during an observation,
Resident 70 was in his bed lying on his right
side with his legs over the side of the bed. The
bed had four side rails in the up position and
Resident 70's legs were dangling off the bed
entrapped in the gap between the right upper
side rail and the right lower side rail. The call
light cord was looped on a hook on the wall at
the head of the bed and out of reach from

70 was alone in his room with no staff available

observation and interview in Resident 70's
room, Resident 70 laid in bed, resting and there
were three side rails in the up position (right
and left upper and left lower). Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) 8 stated he had worked with
Resident 70 for several months and was
assigned to Resident 70 since 6 a.m. on
12/7/18. CNA 8 stated, "We [Facility staff] were
told not to use the bottom side rails and I don't

The DON emphasized staff were aware they
were not to put all four rails in the up position.
The DON stated Resident 70 could have
injured himself while the four rails were up. The
DON stated, "[Resident 70] could be at risk for
entrapment, but with all the side rails up he
could still get through." The DON stated, "We
do not consider this (meaning side rails up) a
restraint if used for mobility." The DON stated
there was no monitoring plan to make sure the
use of the side rails was safe.
Resident 70's "Resident Bed Rail Consent

of the clinical record indicated Resident 70 did
not have a seizure diagnosis. UM confirmed
that Resident 70 did not have documented
diagnosis of seizures.
On 12/17/18 at 4:52 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the DON stated
side rails were ordered on 4/20/18 and a side
rail consent was obtained on 4/19/18 and side
rails were in use as of 4/19/18 [day of
admission]. Fall risk assessment dated 4/19/18
indicated Resident 70 was a "Moderate risk" for
falling. The DON stated there was no
documentation for side rail alternative for least
restrictive intervention used before side rails
were implemented. The DON stated, "All staff
is responsible to assess if the side rails are
working properly and will notify maintenance if
there is something wrong with the side rails."
The DON stated the side rails were determined
necessary for Resident 70 by an assessment
and speaking with RP (responsible person).
The DON was unable to find documentation of
a seizure diagnosis. The DON stated a Hoyer
lift (hydraulically operated device used to
enable caregiver to transfer a resident from the
bed to wheelchair) was the safest way to
transfer Resident 70 because he could not bear
weight or help with transfer from bed to chair.
The DON stated the process to wean residents
off from side rail use was for nurses to
reassess [for side rail need] every three
months. The DON stated the side rails would
not impede Resident 70 from doing anything.
The DON stated resident was able to move out
of bed and had been found on the floor multiple
times. The DON stated, "I can't tell you why the
four side rails were up. The nurses didn't tell
me. They should not have been up." The DON
stated the risk for entrapment and injury was
high with four side rails up. The DON stated

Resident 70 was able to move himself out of
his bed which increased the risk of entrapment
when the four side rails were in the up position.
On 12/18/18 at 9:20 during an interview, the
Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) stated,
Resident 70 had frequent falls and used a
motion alarm to alert the staff when resident
was attempting to get out of his bed. DOR
stated the motion is activated "When a resident
has a fall, it sets off an alarm." The DOR
reviewed resident 70 clinical record and stated,
"With that many falls [10 since June 2018] he
[Resident 70] should be in our study [for QAPI quality assurance prevention and intervention]
and should be reviewed for intervention. We
should be asking the questions how to keep
him safe." The DOR stated the facility does not
involve her department with assessments for
side rail safety. (DOR) stated she had been
working for 17 years with the facility and the
DON or ADM would let her know if someone
had a mobility decline, falls or a need for
therapy services. The DOR stated Resident 70
was not referred to receive therapy services
each time he had a fall and would benefit from
these services with his safety risk. The DOR
stated the process of referral depended upon
the nurses to inform the therapy department of
the need and change of condition.
On 12/18/18 at 10:26 a.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review with the DON and
ADM, the DON stated she was unable to find
documentation of the incident [dated 12/7/18
when Resident 70 was observed dangling off
the bed with his legs between the side rails].
The ADM stated, "We have called it a mistake."
On 12/18/18 at 12:00 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the Social Service

facility for one year and had taken the lead
position one week ago. The SSA stated the
side rail assessment was not addressed in IDT
meetings and it would require another IDT
(interdisciplinary team - a group of healthcare
providers from different fields who work
together or toward the same goal to provide the
best care or best patient outcomes) meeting to
assess for the need of the side rails. The SSA
reviewed the records and was unable to find
documented evidence where Resident 70 had
been referred to RNA (restorative nursing
therapy services) or PT (Physical Therapy)
because of his climbing out of bed and falling.
The SSA stated she knew staff had been
performing one on one supervision for resident
70 because of his high risk of falling but the
one on one was only performed on as needed
bases. The SSA stated she was not involved
with the assessment or when the decision was
made to place Resident 70 on a one on one
supervision. The SSA stated, "I am still
learning his needs. I do IDT notes and always
attend IDT meetings."
On 12/18/18 at 3:29 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and record review, the Director of
Staff Development (DSD) stated she was not
involved in any assessment of side rails and
had no knowledge of any alternative or
reassessment of side rails. The DSD stated, "If
I'm not present during the IDT meeting there is
no way for me to get the information that was
discussed." The DSD stated Resident 70 would
have benefited from a restorative nurse
assistant (RNA) program to provide range of
motion exercise for Resident 70. The DSD
stated, "The side rails pose more of a threat or
a hazard to him if the staff was not present."
The DSD stated keeping the side rails up was
not preventing Resident 70 from falling
"Because he was still falling, even with the side
rails."

On 12/18/18 at 5:18 p.m., during a telephone
interview, the family member (FM) stated, "At
the time [Resident 70] was admitted, the
consent for side rails was not filled out when
they gave it to me. They told me to sign it and
they would fill it in later." The FM stated she did
not want the side rails all the time and was told
the side rails were going to be on the right side
of the bed to help with his mobility. FM stated
the facility did not attempt alternatives prior to
implementing the side rails on the day of
admission.
On 12/18/18 at 5:45 p.m., during a concurrent
observation and interview, the DON stated she
did not know how the right lower side rail
worked. The DON stated, "Usually the CNAs
know better. The DON called for a CNA who
had difficulty finding the release lever and
putting the lower rails up or down.
On 12/19/18 at 8:05 a.m., during an interview
in the ADM's office, the ADM stated it was a
mistake for the staff to have used the bottom
two side rails on 12/7/18. The ADM stated the
lower two side rails should have already been
removed, just like all the rest of the beds in the
facility. The ADM stated the maintenance staff
had removed the lower side rails on Resident
70's bed on 12/18/18. The ADM stated she did
not know why Resident 70's bed had four side
rails and it appeared his bed had been missed

lower end side rails. The ADM stated there
was no way to know if the lower side rails had
been used before the observation of Resident

side rail was up on Resident 70's bed. LN 5
stated the lower left side rail was up and even
with the bed mattress. LN 5 stated, "I didn't
even know where the lever was to put it down."
LN 5 stated the left lower side rails remained in
the up position because she did not know how
to release the side rail. LN 5 stated her
understanding was that a restraint was
something that prevented movement and she
did not consider the side rails as a risk for
Resident 70 because Resident 70 could move
in bed.
On 12/19/18 at 9:23 a.m., during a telephone
interview, CNA 8 stated, "I'm pretty sure all four
side rails were up [on 12/7/18] ... I was a little

stated that all four side rails would be
considered a restraint according to nursing
home regulations.

interview and record review, the DON stated
she was unable to find documentation of the
incident where Resident 70 was dangling off
the bed with his legs between the side rails on
12/7/18. The DON stated the only way to
identify delayed injuries as a result of the
incident dated 12/7/18 was for the nurses to
document. The DON stated, "The nurse does
weekly skin assessments and would see if
there had been [delayed] bruising." The DON
stated she had asked the Chief Nurse
Executive (CNE) if there should be
documentation and was told by the CNE she
would not view it as a fall so no documentation
was necessary.

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one of 40
sampled residents (Resident 36) was free from
unnecessary medication when
Ipratropium/Albuterol Duoneb (inhalation
medication to increase air flow to lungs) was
administered for an excessive duration and
without adequate indication for use from
9/19/18 to 12/5/18 four times daily for the
diagnosis of pneumonia (lung inflammation
caused by bacterial or viral infection) and was
not re-evaluated when symptoms of pneumonia
had resolved.
This failure resulted in Resident 36 receiving
multiple doses of medication that had the
potential to cause symptoms of cardiac
distress.

§483.60(a)(3) Support staff.
The facility must provide sufficient support
personnel to safely and effectively carry out the
functions of the food and nutrition service.
§483.60(b) A member of the Food and Nutrition
Services staff must participate on the
interdisciplinary team as required in §
483.21(b)(2)(ii).
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the
competency of staff to carry out the function of
the food and nutrition services when a Dietary
Aide (DA) was unable to describe or
demonstrate the appropriate procedure for
washing and sanitizing kitchen ware such as
pots and pans using the two compartment sink.
This failure had the potential for a highly
susceptible population of 97 residents who
received food from the kitchen to be at high risk
for foodborne illness.
Findings:
On 12/05/18 at 2:38 p.m., during a concurrent
observation and interview in the kitchen, the
DA stated the kitchenware was washed in the
first compartment of the sink, then sanitized in
the second compartment, then all the
kitchenware was placed on a table to be air
dried. The DA stated the sanitizer used was the
quaternary ammonia sanitizer that was
distributed from a hose that went into the
second sink. The DA took the temperature of
the water with the facility's thermometer and
stated that's how she checked if the sanitizer
was the correct strength. The DA stated she
could not remember how long the items had to
be in the sanitizer. The DA looked for it on the

directions posted above the sink and stated
she could not find it. The DA stated, "I guess it
was 45 to 60 seconds." The DA stated she
would not do anything else to test the sanitizer.
The facility policy and procedure titled,
"Warewashing" dated 5/16, indicated,
"Purpose: To properly clean and sanitize
dishware and utensils when a dish machine is
not available ... It is the policy of this facility to
initiate manual dish washing procedures when
the dish machine is not working properly. The
facility will implement a two (2) compartment
procedure for manual washing ...
PROCEDURE: ... 4. Rinse, scrape or soak all
items before washing, if needed. 5. The first
compartment is for washing ... 6. The second
compartment is for rinsing ... 7. Complete
washing and rinsing process. Drain and clean
the second sink. Then use the cleaned second
sink to sanitize the items ..." The procedures
also described the quaternary ammonia
chemical sanitizer had to be mixed to the
proper concentration of 200 ppm (parts per
million; a unit of measurement) or per
manufacturer's recommendation. Also, each
item was required to be immersed in the
sanitizing solution for two minutes.
Review of the undated document titled, "(the
name of the sanitizer solution)" indicated a test
strip was used to test the sanitizer strength and
was dipped into the sanitizer solution for 10
seconds and the test strip should indicate the
solution was between 150 ppm and 400 ppm.
On 12/6/18 at 9:15 a.m., during an interview,
the Registered Dietician (RD) stated the daily
process for washing pots and pans was with
the 2-compartment sink and the dishmachine
combined. The RD stated all staff were
expected to know how to clean kitchen ware if

included in the inservice.
The facility did not provide any documentation
to show that a supervisor conducted an

job duties for the DA. The facility provided a
document that included a 12 question test
titled, "Competency Test for Cooks and FNS
(Food and Nutrition Service Staff) completed by

Based on observation, interview and record
review the facility failed to follow the menu
when diets were not fortified according to the
fortification schedule for 20 of 97 residents who
had a physician's order for a fortified diet.
This failure had the potential for residents to
receive fewer calories than the fortified
schedule indicated, which could affect
resident's weight and further compromise their
medical status.
Findings:
On 12/5/18 at 11:40 a.m., during a concurrent
observation and interview in the kitchen, Cook
1 stated they were supposed to receive melted
butter for the fortified diets. Cook 1 stated she
did not provide extra butter in accordance with
the fortification menu.
On 12/5/18 at 11:50 a.m., during a concurrent
observation and interview in the kitchen during
tray line service, Resident 80 had a turkey
sandwich as an alternate diet for lunch.
Resident 80's tray ticket indicated a fortified
diet. The Registered Dietician (RD) stated the
turkey sandwich should of had an extra
mayonnaise packet to make it fortified. The RD
stated there was no extra mayonnaise on
Resident 80's food tray.
On 12/7/18 at 8:59 a.m., during an interview,
the RD confirmed fortified diets were a
physician's order.
Review of the fortified menu titled, "Fall Week"
dated 1/18 indicated, for lunch on 12/5/18 an
extra ½ ounce of melted margarine was added
to the noodles and ½ ounce of melted
margarine was added to the spinach.

Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to store and distribute
food in accordance with professional standards
for food service safety when:
1.The hamburger patties were not verified to be
cooked to a safe temperature.
2. Clean pans used to serve food were stored
and stacked wet.
3. There were no air gaps for essential
equipment.
These failures had the potential to cause food
borne illness to a highly susceptible population
of 97 who received food from the kitchen.
Findings:
1. On 12/5/18 at 11:30 a.m., during a trayline
observation in the kitchen, Cook 2 removed two
hamburger patties from the grill without taking

temperature hamburger patties should be
cooked to and that 153.8 degrees F was
"okay." Cook 1 stated the hamburger patties
were an alternate entrée for resident lunches
that day.
On 12/5/18 at 11:40 a.m., during an interview,
the Registered Dietitian (RD) stated the
hamburger patties had to be cooked to 155
degrees F.
The Federal Food Code (2017) indicated the
standard of practice was for mechanically
tenderized and/or comminuted (meats that are
mixed with different pieces of meat) meats as
ground beef was to be cooked to an internal
temperature of 155 degrees F for 17 seconds.
2. On 12/5/18 at 7:47 a.m., during a concurrent
observation and interview in the kitchen, there
were 24 pans of various sizes stored on a
shelf. The pans with varied sizes were stacked
inside one another and were wet. Cook 1
stated the pans were used to hold food served
to residents and should be air dried before
being stored on the shelf.
Review of the facility Policy and Procedure
titled, "Pots and Pans" dated 4/30/17, indicated
the purpose of the policy was to ensure proper
cleaning and sanitation of pots and pans. The
procedure revealed, "All items are to be air
dried until no water droplets are present."
3. On 12/5/18 at 10:32 a.m., during an
observation in the kitchen, there was a plastic
drainpipe from the food preparation sink area
immersed into a floorsink (a drain that drops
below the floor level) and one metal drainpipe
was immersed in a floorsink located under the
dishmachine counter.

These failures resulted in an ineffective QAPI
program necessary to improve quality of care
provided to residents and ensure adequate
staff knowledge of the facility QAPI program
and QAPI project improvements plans.
Findings:
1. On 12/10/18 at 11:51 a.m., during an
interview, the Administrator (ADM) stated QAPI
projects were identified through resident
council meetings, complaints and concerns
brought from the staff members and
department managers. The ADM stated the
current QAPI projects the facility was currently
working on were fall prevention, making sure
nourishments are passed and offered, infection
control and hand sanitation during medication
pass, making sure care plans were specific and
resident centered and reducing urinary tract
infections (UTI- infection of the bladder,
kidneys). The ADM did not list any QAPI
projects in relation to Quality of Care issues
such as LN's communicating to the
Interdisciplinary Team (IDT- a professional
group consisting of a nurse, dietitian, social
service person, therapist, and physician who
meet to plan resident care) any change in
condition with the residents care.[reference F
684 and F 600]. The ADM did not list any QAPI
projects in relation to side rail assessment and
side rail re-evaluation to justify the need for the
side rail. [reference F 604, F 684 and F 700].

observation and interview, Licensed Nurse (LN)
2 stated the oxygen tubing and humidifier
bottles were changed and each one dated
weekly on Sunday evenings. LN 2 stated, "The
night shift changes the tubing and the bottle on
Sunday night. The cannula (tubing) should be
in a bag. There is usually a bag hanging and
the bag should be dated. We cannot assume
that it was changed." LN 2 stated she had not
noticed the undated tubing which hung just
over the mattress at the right side of the bed
and not in use by Resident 17 during the
observation.
On 12/7/18 at 4:15 p.m., during an interview,
the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, "Our
policy is to change the tubing and bottle weekly
and date it." The DON stated the tubing was
also to be placed in a bag, dated, and changed
as needed. The DON stated the risk of not
having the tubing and bottle dated was not
knowing how old it was and possibly infected
with bacteria.
Resident 17's "Order Summary Report" dated
6/2/17 indicated, "Oxygen @ 2L/min via n/c
[nasal cannula], prn [as needed], to keep sats

The facility policy and procedure titled "Oxygen
Administration" dated 11/24/17, indicated "...If
oxygen is used periodically, the humidifier
bottle should be changed weekly. Nasal
cannulas are to be changed weekly. The date
and initials of the nurse who changed these
items is to be marked with a black sharpie..."
