Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0695 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.
