Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility staff failed to ensure one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1) received two (2) liters (a unit of measurement) of oxygen continuously according to
the physician's order.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 1 not receiving sufficient oxygen levels in the
body, shortness of breath, difficulty with speaking, confusion, and decreased quality of life.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the
resident on 4/7/2025 with diagnoses that included cerebral palsy (a group of conditions that affect
movement and posture), chronic pulmonary edema (an abnormal buildup of fluid in the lungs), and
bronchopneumonia (infection in the upper part of the airway).

During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan (a document that summarizes a resident's needs, goals, and
care/treatment) titled, Oxygen Therapy, dated 4/8/2025, the care plan indicated a goal that Resident 1 will
have no signs or symptoms of poor oxygen absorption. Interventions included to explain the importance of
