Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its infection control
policy by failing to ensure nasal cannula (oxygen [a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas] tubing - a
medical device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels) and
humidifier (medical devices used to humidify supplemental oxygen) was changed and labeled with the date
of change for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had placed Resident 1 at risk for infection.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 4/22/2021 with
diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis that affects only one side of your body), sequelae (an aftereffect
of a disease, condition, or injury) of cerebral infarction (occurs because of disrupted blood flow to the brain
due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it), and difficulty in walking.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care-planning tool),
dated 1/3/2024, indicated Resident 1 was severely impaired and could not make decisions.
A review of the Physician ' s Order for Resident 1, dated 5/8/2021, indicated the following:
- Oxygen during each shift oxygen (O2) 2 liters per minute (LPM- the flow of oxygen you receive from your
oxygen delivery device) via nasal canula continuously to keep O2 greater than 92%.
- Oxygen Tubing: Clean filter and change tubing during night shift weekly on Mondays.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Care Plan, developed on 4/4/2023, for Resident 1 ' use of continuous oxygen
therapy of 2 LPM via nasal canula indicated interventions including assess status and response to oxygen
therapy and administer oxygen as ordered.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/11/2024 at 10:15 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant
1 (CNA 1) at the bedside of Resident 1. CNA 1 stated nursing is the one that changes the oxygen tubing
and humidifier. CNA1 verified date on Resident 1 ' s nasal canula tubing as 12/31/2023 and CNA 1 stated
humidifier did not have a date on it.
During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 3 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated nasal cannulas are
changed weekly and as needed, and the humidifiers as needed. The DON stated both the nasal canula and
the humidifier must have documentation of the date it was changed, it is for safety, and the
