Findings: During an observation on 03/08/2022 at 10:52 AM of Resident #30 it showed the resident was being administered oxygen at 2 liters per minute (2L/min) via nasal cannula.

Review of the physician's order dated 2/28/2022 read: Continuous oxygen at 4 liters/min via nasal canula each shift. During an interview conducted on 03/09/2022 at 2:00 PM Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, Looks like it's [oxygen setting] is between 3 to 3 1/2 liters per minute. The Certified Nursing Assistants never adjust the oxygen, only the LPNs adjust the oxygen; even the respiratory therapist will ask the LPNs, before they adjust it. I'd be surprised if he could get out of bed alone and change it. Review of the physician's order for Resident #30 was conducted with Staff A, LPN. Staff A verified the physician's order as written is for oxygen at 4L/min. Review of Resident #30's care plan initiated on 01/21/2022 read: Resident #30 has a potential for complications of respiratory distress r/t (related to) dx (diagnosis) of: SOB (shortness of breath), PNA (pneumonia) HX (history), hypoxia HX, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and CHF (congestive heart failure). Goal: Resident will remain free from cardiovascular complications thru the next review dated. Interventions: O2 sats [saturation] as ordered. Administer O2 [oxygen] as ordered. Observe for signs and symptoms of respiratory distress; update physician if noted. Vital signs as ordered and as needed. Elevate HOB [head of bed]>30 degrees to minimize SOB as needed.
