F 0695 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 observations, interviews, record review, and facility policy review for oxygen therapy, the facility failed to ensure that one (Resident #44) of three residents reviewed for respiratory care, received the correct number of liters of oxygen ordered by the physician, in a total sample of 26 residents. This could result in the resident not receiving appropriate care and/or clinical complications. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 2/26/24 at 10:25 AM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed without oxygen via nasal cannula. The oxygen concentrator was located away from the bed with nasal cannula wrapped around the concentrator handle. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of Resident #44's medical record revealed an admission date of 2/17/20 with diagnoses of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Acute and Chronic Respiratory Failure with hypoxia, and unspecified asthma with (acute) exacerbation. A review of the annual minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed a brief interview for mental (BIMS) score of 15/15, indicating intact cognition. A review of the physician's orders dated 1/10/24 revealed Oxygen at 3 liters per minute (LPM) via nasal cannula continuously, every shift for shortness of breath. On 2/27/24 at 9:51AM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed without oxygen via nasal cannula. The oxygen concentrator was positioned adjacent to the bed. The oxygen concentrator was turned off. The nasal cannula was rolled up and lodged under the concentrator handle. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of Resident #44's care plan initiated on 2/18/20 and revised 1/5/24 revealed a focus for Emphysema/COPD related to smoking. Interventions included give oxygen therapy as ordered by the physician. On 2/28/24 at 2:07 PM, Employee A, Registered Nurse (RN) was interviewed in Resident #44's room. When asked if she was familiar with Resident #44, she replied, Yes. When asked what the oxygen order was for the resident. She did not respond, she in turn addressed the resident.

He stated, Always. When Employee A RN was asked what the facility process is for administration of oxygen. She stated, First you gotta get the order, then get the concentrator, you see what the person is sating at, usually the desired oxygen saturation is 92% on room air, if its below 92% then we put on oxygen. On 2/28/24 at 2:14 PM, an interview was conducted with Employee B RN. She was asked to verify Resident #44's oxygen order. She reviewed the order in the electronic medication administration record and stated, It was supposed to be an as needed (PRN) order. When asked to recite the actual order as it appeared, Employee B RN stated, Oxygen at 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula, continuously, every shift for shortness of breath.
