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 and procedure review, the facility failed to ensure
that residents who needed respiratory care received oxygen therapy as ordered for one (Resident #4) of 23
residents receiving oxygen therapy in a total survey sample of 26 residents. The findings include: On
7/28/2025, at 12:47 PM, Resident #4 was observed in her room in a chair beside her bed in a hospital
gown. She was receiving oxygen via nasal cannula. She reported she received oxygen at a flow rate of two
liters per minute (2 L/min). The oxygen concentrator was in her bathroom, not within arm's reach of the
resident, and was set at 3 L/min. (Photographic evidence obtained) On 7/29/2025, at 12:13 PM, Resident
#4 was observed in her room in a chair beside her bed in a hospital gown. She was receiving oxygen via
nasal cannula. The oxygen concentrator was in her bathroom and was set at 3 L/min. (Photographic
evidence obtained) A review of Resident #4's medical record revealed active physician's orders for oxygen
therapy: Continuous oxygen via nasal cannula at 2L/min every shift for hypoxia (dated 3/7/2025). Oxygen
bubbler and tubing need to be changed every week, write date and initials when changed, remove old
bubbler and tubing (dated 3/9/2025), and oxygen in use card to be place by residents and door and
checked - verified by nurse every shift for oxygen safety (dated 3/7/2025). Other orders included albuterol
sulfate inhalation nebulization solution (2.5 mg/3ml - milligrams per milliliter) 0.083% (dated 3/7/2025) and
morphine sulfate (concentrate) oral solution 20 mg/ml (morphine sulfate), give 0.25 ml by mouth every four
hours as needed for shortness of breath/non-acute, moderate to severe pain SL (dated 7/9/2025). (Copy
obtained) Further review of the medical record revealed that Resident #4 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE] with an initial admission date on 9/16/2023. Her primary diagnoses included: Acute respiratory
failure with hypoxia, shortness of breath, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), unspecified; and
obstructive sleep apnea. A review of the Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated
06/25/2025, revealed the resident was receiving hospice care, required oxygen therapy, and had a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10 out of 15 possible points, indicating moderate cognitive
impairment. Resident #4 was independent with eating and required supervisory or touching assistance for
toilet transfers. A review of the care plan, focus and goals related to oxygen therapy included altered
respiratory status/difficulty breathing related to congestive heart failure (CHF), sleep apnea, and COPD.
Interventions included oxygen settings: oxygen via nasal prongs (cannula) at 2L/min, administer
medication/puffers as ordered, monitor for effectiveness and side effects, and set-up or clean-up
assistance. A review of the resident's oxygen saturations from 7/1/2025 - 7/29/2025 revealed a range of
93-98% (oxygen via nasal canula), on 7/15/2025: 94% (room air), and on 7/22/2025: 98% (room air). The
resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for July 2025 was initialed for continuous oxygen via
nasal cannula at 2 L/min every shift for hypoxia and oxygen bubbler and tubing need to be changed every
week, write date and initials when changed, remove old bubbler and tubing, as ordered by physician. (Copy

3:46 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A confirmed that Resident #4's oxygen setting was set at 3L/min
and stated the oxygen order was for 2 L/min. The LPN also confirmed there was no bubbler/humidifier on
the oxygen concentrator. Nurses provide ongoing monitoring of the resident's oxygen therapy. Nursing is
responsible for assuring that the resident is receiving the correct oxygen flow rate as ordered. Correct
oxygen settings are identified through reports and by checking the order. Nurse staff on the night shift are
responsible for changing the resident's oxygen tubing every Sunday. Correct settings are communicated
from one staff person to another through shift reports. The LPN stated in the past Resident #4 would turn
the concentrator on and off when leaving her room, but she had not turned off the machine in a while.
Sometimes Resident #4 took off the nasal cannula; she was reminded to put it back on with no problem. On
7/30/2025 at 10:27 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that correct oxygen flow rate settings were
identified by checking the orders and the Medication Administration Record and Treatment Administration
Record. Residents who sometimes moved the dial were educated on the importance of maintaining oxygen
at the correct setting. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Oxygen Administration (revised on
1/2025), revealed: Oxygen is administered to residents who need it, consistent with professional standards
of practice, comprehensive person-centered care plans, and the residents' goals and preferences. Policy
Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: 1. Oxygen is administered under orders of a physician, except in
the case of an emergency. In such cases, oxygen is administered and orders for oxygen are obtained as
soon as practicable when the situation is under control. 2. Staff shall notify the physician of any changes in
the resident's condition, including changes in vital signs, oxygen concentration, or evidence of
complications associated with the use of oxygen. (Copy obtained)

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
kitchen food service observations, staff interviews, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed
to follow proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness, with the
potential to affect more than a limited number of residents who consumed foods from the facility, by failing
to seal and date mark open food used for resident consumption in the dietary service area. Food handling
and sanitation is important in health care settings serving nursing home residents. Unsafe food handling
practices represent a potential source of pathogen exposure.The findings include: A follow-up tour of the
kitchen was conducted on 07/30/2025 at 11:16 AM. During the tour, no date markings were observed on
one open bottle of Simply Thick Easy Mix in the [NAME] Unit nourishment room, one open bottle of Simply
Thick Easy Mix in the Assisted Dining Room, or on two open bottles of alcohol-removed wine in the
Cambridge Unit refrigerator. (Photographic evidence obtained) During an interview on 07/30/2025 at 1:39
PM with Dining Server B, she explained that the facility's policy related to date marking food items was to
add the open and expiration date to open foods. During an interview on 07/30/2025 at 1:46 PM with Dining
Server C, she stated food items that were opened, used, and placed back in the refrigerator or freezer were
to be sealed, labeled and dated. During an interview on 07/30/2025 at 2:07 PM with Dietary Supervisor D,
he explained that the facility's policy related to date marking food items was to add the open and use-by
date. During an interview on 07/30/2025 at 2:15 PM, the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) confirmed that
the kitchen staff used labels on open food items to add the date opened, used-by date, and initial. A review
of the facility's policy and procedure titled Food Labeling Policy (dated 10/17/2022), revealed: It is the policy
of this facility to ensure that all food items stored, prepared, or served within the Health Center comply with
Federal, state, and local food safety regulations. All opened food items in the facility, including those in
dietary service areas and at nursing unit refrigerators must be properly labeled to ensure food safety.
