strive toward resolving grievances as quickly as possible. The NHA stated that staff were aware that
Resident #9's dentures were missing and that efforts were being made to locate them.
An interview was conducted on 02/11/2021 at 12:45 p.m. with Staff G, CNA. Staff G was assigned to

2. The Comprehensive Care Plan is based on a thorough assessment that includes, but is not limited to, the
Resident Assessment Instrument.
9. Care Plan interventions are implemented after consideration of the resident's problem areas and their
causes. Interventions address the underlying source(s) of the problem area(s), rather than addressing only
symptoms or triggers. The interventions will reflect action, treatment, or procedure to meet the objectives
toward achieving the resident's goals.
13. Care Plans are ongoing and revised as information about the resident and the resident's condition
change.
14. The nurse/Interdisciplinary Team is responsible for the review and updating of care plans. The care plan
should reflect the current status of the resident and be updated with changes in the resident's status:
a. When there has been a significant change in the resident's condition.
The policy did not address baseline care plans.

observations, interviews, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to store respiratory equipment in
accordance with professional standards of practice for two residents (#28 and #35) of three residents
sampled for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. A review of Resident #28's medical record revealed that Resident #28 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses of need for assistance with personal care, and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD).
A review of Resident #28's care plan revealed a problem, revised on 12/03/2020, that Resident #28 utilized
oxygen therapy secondary to COPD. Interventions included medications, nebulizers, and puffers as
ordered.
A review of Resident #28's Physician Order Report dated 1/11/21 - 2/11/21 revealed a physician's order,
dated 12/23/2020, for ipratropium-albuterol solution for nebulization, 0.5 milligrams (mg) - 3 mg per 3
milliliter (ml) solution; 1 dose inhalation three times a day for a diagnosis of COPD.
An observation was made on 02/10/2021 at 11:06 a.m. of Staff Q, Registered Nurse (RN) removing a
nebulizer mask from Resident #28 following a nebulizer treatment. Staff Q, RN was observed removing the
mask from Resident #28 and placing the mask on the nebulizer machine on Resident #28's nightstand.
Staff Q, RN stated that she would normally wipe off the nebulizer mask and place the mask upright next to
the machine. Staff Q, RN also stated that she did not store the nebulizer mask inside of a storage bag after
nebulizer treatments.
An observation was made on 02/11/2021 at 09:16 a.m. in Resident #28's room. Resident #28's nebulizer
mask was observed laying on top of the nebulizer machine on Resident #28's night stand. An interview was
conducted with Staff E, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) following the observation. Staff E, LPN stated that
Resident #28's nebulizer mask should not be laying on the night stand and that the nebulizer mask should
have been stored inside of a plastic bag with the resident's name and date. Staff E, LPN was not able to
state why Resident #28's nebulizer mask was not stored properly.
A interview was conducted on 02/11/2021 at 03:57 p.m. with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON stated that respiratory equipment was replaced on a weekly basis, including oxygen tubing and
nebulizer equipment. All oxygen tubing and nebulizer equipment should be dated and have a bag included
with the date on it for storage purposes. The DON stated that respiratory equipment should be stored in a
plastic bag when it was not in use and that it would not be acceptable to store a nebulizer mask on the
resident's night stand because it could get dirty.
A review of a facility policy titled, Nebulizers, dated 09/2010, revealed that after treatment nursing staff rinse
and disinfect the nebulizer equipment according to manufacturer's recommendations and facility policy.
When equipment is completely dry, store in a plastic bag with the resident's name and the date on it.
