Residents Affected - Few * Residents 2, 3, and 4 were administered with more than the liters per minute ordered by the physician. * Resident 1's MAR failed to show documentation of the administration of the oxygen PRN. These failures had the potential for adverse respiratory outcomes and resulted in inaccurate administration records for the residents. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Oxygen Administration reviewed 2/2023 showed the oxygen shall be administered as ordered by the physician.
