F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. A review of Resident 125's admission Record indicated Resident 125 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 125's diagnoses included pneumonia (an infection that affects one or both lungs) due to other gram-negative bacteria (resistant to multiple drugs and are increasingly resistant to most available antibiotics), severe sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection) with septic shock (a life-threatening condition that happens when the blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection), and enterocolitis due to clostridium difficile (a bacteria that causes diarrhea). Residents Affected - Some A review of Resident 125's H&P, dated 2/8/2024, indicated Resident 125 can make needs known but cannot make medical decisions. A review of Resident 125's MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident 125 required maximum assistance for oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showers, and personal hygiene. A review of Resident 125's Care Plan, initiated 2/2/2024, indicated Resident 125 had altered respiratory status related to respiratory failure with hypoxia (a state in which oxygen is not available in sufficient amounts) and was at risk for alteration of respiratory status related to resident with episodes of removing oxygen. Staff interventions did not indicate to monitor resident for episodes of removing oxygen. A review of Resident 125's Physician's Order, dated 2/2/2024 at 1:02 AM, indicated Oxygen at two liters per minute (LPM) via nasal cannula (a thin, flexible tube that goes around the head and into the nose that delivers oxygen), titrate (a test that determines the body's oxygen needs at rest and while exercising) to keep oxygen saturation at 95% and above every shift for Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia. During an observation of Resident 125 in Resident 125's room on 2/12/2024 at 9:26 AM, Resident 125's nasal cannula was on the floor next to the bed. The oxygen concentrator (a device that concentrates the oxygen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream) was set to 1 1/2 Liters. During an interview with CNA1 on 2/12/2024 at 9:37 AM, CNA1 stated that Resident 125 was supposed to be on oxygen at all times. CNA1 stated, The charge nurse told me, he is usually on oxygen. During an interview with LVN on 2/12/2024 at 9:42 AM, LVN stated, He is supposed to have his nasal cannula on, he has it off. His oxygen does fluctuate (change continuously). If we take it off, he does not show signs of shortness of breath, but his oxygen level does go down. We always have to check that his oxygen saturation is 95-97%. Without the nasal cannula, his oxygen drops from 92% to 89%. It would be dangerous If he doesn't have his nasal cannula because since he is on contact precautions, it would take some time for the staff to put on PPEs (personal protective equipment) and check on him. We need to make sure he has it on all the time. During a concurrent observation and interview with LVN on 2/12/2024 at 9:51 AM, observed Resident 125's nasal cannula still on the floor. LVN confirmed Resident 125's nasal cannula was on the floor and stated, I have to check his oxygen because I don't know how long the oxygen has been off. Observed LVN checking Resident 125's drawers and stated, I usually have my vital sign equipment here, but right now I can't find it.

This deficient practice has the potential to cause the residents in these rooms not to have enough room for activities of daily living and hinder staff from providing care to the residents. Findings: During the initial observation on 2/12/2024, from 9 AM to 10:20 AM, Rooms 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 did not meet the minimum requirement of 80 sq. ft. per resident.
