Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide respiratory care services according to
professional standards of quality for one resident (Resident 1), when Resident 1 arrived to the dialysis (a
treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidney(s)
have failed) center with an empty oxygen tank.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure decreased the facility's potential to safely provide Resident 1's oxygen therapy.
Findings:
A review of an admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in May 2024 with
diagnoses including respiratory failure (a condition where there's not enough oxygen in the body) and
pneumonitis (inflammation of the lung tissue).
A review of Resident 1's Care plan report, dated 5/22/24, indicated Resident 1 required continuous oxygen
every shift.
A review of Resident 1's physician orders, dated 5/21/24, indicated Resident 1 was scheduled for dialysis
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with pick up time from facility at 12:45 p.m. and chair time for dialysis at
1:15 p.m. The order further indicated Resident 1 should receive oxygen via nasal cannula two liters per
minute continuously every shift.
A review of Resident 1's Dialysis Form, dated 5/31/24, indicated Resident 1's pick up time for dialysis was
12:45 p.m.
During an interview on 3/3/25 at 2 p.m. with the transport driver, the driver stated the trip from the facility to
the dialysis center took about five to 10 minutes and Resident 1 fainted in the van upon arrival to dialysis
center. The driver further stated he quickly got Resident 1 inside the dialysis center, staff gave her oxygen
and told him the oxygen tank was empty.
During an interview on 3/3/25 at 11:36 a.m. with the Dialysis Center Administrative Assistant (DAA), DAA
stated Resident 1 passed out upon arrival to the center and needed oxygen.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/3/25 at 4:30 p.m. with the Administrator (ADM),
Resident 1's Late Entry Note, dated 6/8/24, and Dialysis Form, dated 5/31/24, were reviewed. The note
indicated Resident 1 arrived at the dialysis center on 5/31/24 and needed oxygen right away. The nursing
home oxygen tank was checked and was found to be empty. ADM stated there was no documentation
about the status of the oxygen tank prior to leaving the facility and her expectations were that oxygen tanks
should be checked before use.
