F 0695
Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, medical record review, staff and resident interviews, and facility policy review, the
facility failed to ensure that one (Resident #44) in a sample of 25 residents was provided respiratory care,
consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the
residents' goals and preferences. Resident #44 was administered oxygen at a flow rate which exceeded his
physician's order.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 7/18/22 at 12:25 PM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed with his oxygen (O2) concentrator set at
5 liters per minute (LPM). His nasal cannula was observed in his hands. The resident then placed the
prongs of the nasal cannula in his mouth.
On 7/18/22 at 3:00 PM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed, awake, with no nasal cannula in place. His
oxygen concentrator was running and the flow rate was set at 5 LPM. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 7/19/22 at 10:20 AM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed, awake. His O2 concentrator flow rate
was set at 5 LPM (Photographic evidence obtained) His nasal cannula tubing was in his mouth. He was
asked if he knew what his oxygen flow rate was supposed to be set at. He stated, I think 2 or 3? He was
asked if he ever changed the oxygen flow rate on the concentrator by his bed. He stated, No, I don't touch
that. The nurses do that.
On 7/19/22 at 2:40 PM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed, awake. His O2 nasal cannula prongs were
in his mouth. The O2 concentrator flow rate was set at 5 LPM. The resident was asked why his oxygen
tubing was in his mouth. He stated, It annoys me. It hurts my nose.
On 7/20/22 at 10:15 AM, Resident #44 was observed lying in bed, awake. His O2 nasal cannula prongs
were in his mouth. His oxygen concentrator flow rate was set at 5 LPM. (Photographic evidence obtained)
A review of the resident's medical record, revealed that he was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD). His physician' orders read:
9/22/20: Oxygen at 2 LPM per nasal cannula via O2 concentrator and/or tank PRN for SOB (shortness of
breath)
9/22/20: O2 sats: pulse oximetry every shift and PRN.

safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the
date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date

A care plan review for Resident #44 revealed the following focus, goal, and interventions created on
12/27/21 (revised 6/3/22):
Focus: Resident has altered respiratory status/difficulty breathing r/t COPD and takes prednisone routinely.
Goal: Resident will have no s/sx (signs or symptoms) of poor oxygen absorption through the next review
date. (revision 5/4/22)
Interventions: Oxygen therapy as ordered.
Focus, goal, and intervention created 10/20/20:
Focus: The resident has Emphysema/COPD related to hx (history) of smoking.
Goal: The resident will display optimal breathing pattern daily through review date.
Interventions: Oxygen therapy as ordered.
In an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) J on 7/20/22 at 4:15 PM, she was asked if she
monitored the rate of oxygen for Resident #44. She stated, The nurses monitor the rate but he's mostly at 2
LPM. The nurses tell us what the rate should be. She was asked if she reported to the nurse if the oxygen
concentrator is not set at 2 LPM. She stated, I would tell the nurse but I haven't had to. She was asked if
she had ever seen Resident #44 change the oxygen flow rate on his oxygen concentrator. She stated, No, I
haven't seen him. I don't think he would change it.
In an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) I on 7/20/22 at 4:30 PM, she was asked if she was caring for
Resident #44 today. She stated yes. She was asked what his oxygen order was and she stated, He's at 2
liters per minute continuously by nasal cannula. She was asked if he kept his nasal cannula in place. She
stated, Sometimes he takes it off and will then put it back on, The doctors is aware of that. I check his sat
(oxygen saturation) often and it's always good, always above 90%. She was asked how often she checked
the flow rate on his oxygen concentrator. She stated, Three or four times on my shift. She was asked if the
rate ever needed to be adjusted and she stated, No, it's ordered for 2 LPM and he doesn't need that
changed. She was asked if he ever changed the rate on his oxygen concentrator himself. She stated, No,
he wouldn't do that. She was asked how often she checked the nasal cannula to ensure it was in place and
she replied, I check that three or four times a shift when I check his rate and his oxygen sat. She was asked
if she had seen Resident #44 put the nasal cannula prongs in his mouth. She stated, No, I haven't seen
that.
A review of the facility's policy titled Oxygen Administration, Safety, Mask Types (Reviewed/revised: 6/29/22)
revealed:
Purpose: To administer and store oxygen in a safe manner. To keep oxygen equipment clean and
maintained in good condition. To administer various levels of oxygen concentration and/or humidity in a safe
manner.

10. Place cannula on resident as follows:
Residents Affected - Few
Fit outlet prongs into nares and place elastic band around head behind ears. Tape can be applied to make
cannula stay in place if necessary and cheekbones and ears can be padded to prevent irritation. The curve
of the nasal prongs should point down so that they follow the anatomy of the nasal passages.
According to the National Library of Medicine at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430743 (Accessed
on 7/21/22 at 8:10 p.m.), Oxygen is vital to sustaining life. However, breathing oxygen at higher than normal
partial pressure leads to hyperoxia and can cause oxygen toxicity or oxygen poisoning. Those at particular
risk for oxygen toxicity include . patients exposed to prolonged high levels of oxygen. Extended exposure to
above-normal oxygen partial pressures, or shorter exposures to very high partial pressures, can cause
oxidative damage to cell membranes leading to the collapse of the alveoli in the lungs.
