Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure common practice standards were
followed for timely dressing changes for a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) inserted into the
arm through a vein into a larger vein in the chest for 1 Resident (#313) of 1 resident reviewed with a PICC
line. Timely dressing changes decrease the risk of complications including local and systemic infection
related to the intravenous catheter.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The Facility's Policy for Dressing Change for Vascular Access Devices, 08/16, from the Infusion Therapy
Policy & Procedure Manual copyright 2011 PharMerica Corporation read, Central venous access device
and midline dressing changes will be done at established intervals and immediately if the integrity of the
dressing is compromised, if moisture, drainage or blood is present or for further assessment if infection is
suspected.
Transparent semi-permeable membrane dressings are changed every 7 days and PRN (As needed) .
On 8/22/22 at 10:25 a.m., observed Resident #313 in his room in bed with a PICC in his right arm. The
PICC insertion site was covered with a transparent dressing dated 8/10/22.
Resident #313 was awake, alert, oriented, and said the PICC was inserted in his right arm while he was in
the hospital.
He looked at the date on the dressing and confirmed it read 8/10/22. Resident #313 said the facility was
using the PICC to administer medication through his veins.
On 8/22/22 at 10:38 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff A confirmed Resident #313 received
Vancomycin Hydrochloride (an antibiotic) via PICC line every 12 hours since his admission on [DATE]
through 8/19/22.
LPN Staff A said presently, Resident #313 was receiving Meropenem Sodium Chloride (an antibiotic)
Intravenous Solution every 8 hours through the PICC since his date of admission on [DATE]. The most
recent dose of Meropenem Sodium Chloride Intravenous Solution was administered on 8/22/22 at 6:00
a.m.
LPN Staff A observed the date on the PICC dressing and confirmed the dressing was outdated and should
have been changed every seven days. She confirmed the dressing date indicated the dressing change had
not been changed for 12 days.

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** Based on
record review, review of policies and procedures, observation, and staff interviews, the facility failed to
provide oxygen therapy in accordance with physician's orders for 2 (Resident #82 and #94) of 4 residents
reviewed for oxygen administration. Failure to follow prescribed oxygen therapy may result in inadequate
oxygen treatment or increased risk of side effects and complications.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings included:
The facility's Oxygen Therapy policy (SMS O 2 ED 2013) documented, Initiation of oxygen. Verify physician
order . Apply device to the patient with appropriate liter flow.
The Oxygen concentrator policy (undated) noted to, Verify and understand the physician's order, know the
flow rate and duration of use . Adjust the flow meter control knob to the flow setting prescribed by the
physician. The graduated line of the meter should be aligned with the center of the floating ball.
1. Review of the clinical record revealed an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE],
noting resident#82 was receiving oxygen therapy. The assessment also noted Resident #82's scored 3 on
the brief interview mental status (BIMS), indicating severe cognitive impairment. The diagnoses included
acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (low level of oxygen in body tissues). Resident #82 was totally
dependent on one person's physical assistance for locomotion (If in wheelchair, self-sufficiency once in
chair).
The Physician's order dated 7/23/22 included to administer oxygen at 2 liters per minute (LPM) via nasal
cannula as needed every 23 hours as needed for shortness of breath.
The care plan initiated on 7/25/22 noted the resident was receiving oxygen therapy related to pneumonitis,
pleural effusion and heart failure. The goal was for Resident #82 to have no sign or symptom of poor
oxygen absorption. The interventions included to administer oxygen as ordered, monitor for changes in or
development of signs and symptoms of breathing difficulty, and report shortness of breath, cough, fever,
chills, difficulty speaking, bluish skin color, changes in cognition.
On 8/22/22 at 11:55 a.m., 8/23/22 at 10:27 a.m., and 8/23/22 at 1:00 p.m., Resident #82 was observed in a
wheelchair receiving oxygen therapy via nasal cannula. The oxygen concentrator was observed behind the
wheelchair against the wall and set at 1.5 LPM.
On 8/23/22 at 1:17 p.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) verified Resident #82's oxygen was set
to 1.5 LPM. She said staff decreased the liter flow to 1.5 LPM to wean the resident from the oxygen so she
can return to the assisted living facility. She said nursing staff was checking the oxygen saturation rate.
The Treatment Administration Record for August 2022 did not have documentation of signs or symptoms
warranting the use of the oxygen, including the oxygen saturation rate. The clinical record did not include a
physician's order to decrease the oxygen to 1.5 LPM or wean Resident #82 from the oxygen.
2. Review of the clinical record for Resident #94 revealed a physician's order dated 7/14/22 to

administer oxygen at 2 LPM continuously via nasal cannula or BiPAP (machine that delivers higher air
pressure when you breathe in) for shortness of breath.
The care plan revised o 4/5/22 noted Resident #94 required the use of oxygen and monitoring for potential
complications related to obesity hypoventilation syndrome (condition in which severely overweight people
fail to breathe rapidly or deeply enough resulting in low blood oxygen level and high carbon dioxide level).
The interventions included to provide oxygen as ordered.
The Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] noted Resident #94 required extensive physical assistance of two
persons for bed mobility (How resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions
body while in bed).
On 8/23/22 at 9:04 a.m., and 8/23/22 at 1:15 p.m., Resident #94 was observed lying flat on her back,
receiving oxygen via nasal cannula. The cannula was connected to an oxygen concentrator set at 3.5 LPM.
The Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August 2022 showed the nurses placed their initials each
day, including on 8/23/22 indicating Resident #94 was receiving oxygen at 2 LPM in accordance with the
physician's order.
On 8/23/22 at 1:15 p.m., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) verified the oxygen concentrator was set
at 3.5 LPM. She said it was an error and decreased the flow on the concentrator to 2 LPM.
