on 4 liters. We should be following doctors orders and following our care plans for oxygen. I don't know how
it got changed. We should check what it is running at when we give meds (medications), or when a resident
has any changes in their condition.
During an interview on 7/18/2024 at 7:15 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Our nurses should
check what oxygen is running at at least once a shift or when they have any shortness of breath. We should
implement our care plans for oxygen use. Our staff should know what rate oxygen is running at and verify
this at least once a shift.
Review of the policy and procedure titled, Care Plans Comprehensive, last review date of 1/30/2024,
revealed the following:
Policy statement: An individualized comprehensive care plan that includes measurable objectives and
timetables to meet the residents medical, nursing, mental, and psychological needs is developed for each
resident.
Policy interpretation and implementation:
3. Each resident's comprehensive care plan is designed to:
e. reflect treatment goals, timetables and objectives in measurable outcomes;
f. identify the professional services that are responsible for each element of care;
i. reflect currently recognized standards of practice for problem areas and conditions.
5. Care plan interventions are designed after careful consideration of the relationship between the
resident's problem areas and their causes. When possible, interventions address the underlying source(s)
of the problem area(s), rather than addressing only symptoms or triggers. It is recognized that care
planning individual symptoms or care area triggers in isolation may have little, if any, benefit for the
resident.

meaningful to the resident are into disciplinary processes that require careful data gathering, proper
sequencing events and complex clinical decision making. No single discipline can manage the task in
isolation. The residence position or Primary Health care provider is integral to this process.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to implement care plan
interventions related to oxygen administration for four residents (#42, #56, #60, and #71) out of 4 residents
reviewed for oxygen administration.
Findings include:
1. During an observation 07/15/24 at 09:38 AM, Resident #42 was lying in bed with a nasal cannula in
place and the oxygen concentrator running at 1.5 liters per minute (LPM).
During an observation on 7/15/24 at 1:30 PM Resident #42 was lying in bed with a nasal cannula in place
and the oxygen concentrator running at 1.5 liters per minute.
During an interview on 7/15/24 at 1:30 PM Resident #42 stated, I think my oxygen should be running on 3,
but the nurse is the one who usually checks it.
A record review of Resident #42's Physicians order reads, (ACC-OXYGEN) Oxygen 2 liter via NC [nasal
cannula] every shift.
A review of Resident #42's care plan, dated 6/13/24, reads, The resident has dx [diagnosis] of Heart
Failure, OXYGEN SETTINGS: O2 via: nasal prongs @ 2 LPM (continuously).
During an interview on 7/18/24 at 08:30 AM Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated it is her
expectation for the nurses to check the oxygen concentrator levels in the morning and on each shift.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility 1) failed to provide the necessary care and services
for urinary catheter care, maintaining urinary flow into the urinary catheter bag and ensuring appropriate
infection control techniques during urinary catheter care for one resident (#319) out of three residents
reviewed for incontinence care, and 2) failed to document consent related to insertion of a catheter for one
resident (#458) out of three residents reviewed.
Findings included:
1. Review of the medical record showed Resident #319 was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, infection and inflammatory reaction due to internal right hip
prosthesis, pressure ulcer of sacral region, Stage 1, anxiety disorder, depression, cellulitis of right lower
limb, pyuria, and Alzheimer's Disease.
Review of the physician's order, dated 07/01/2024, for Resident #319 read, Indwelling Catheter Urethral
every shift. Size 16. Dx (diagnosis) Neurogenic Bladder.
Review of the care plan, dated 6/30/2024, for Resident #319 read, The resident [Resident #319] has:
Indwelling Catheter r/t [related to]: Neurogenic bladder with urinary retention. Interventions: Catheter: The
resident has (16 FR [French] with 10cc [cubic centimeter] balloon) (Indwelling Catheter). Position catheter
bag and tubing below the level of the bladder and away from entrance room door.
During an observation on 07/15/2024 at 10:49 AM Resident #319 was lying in bed, the urinary catheter bag
was observed to be full and laying on the floor under the resident's bed. The urinary catheter had a
backflow of light-yellow colored urine from the bag up the urinary catheter towards the resident's bladder,
unable to drain into the full urinary catheter bag.
During an interview on 07/16/2024 at 3:54 PM Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN), Unit Manager stated, The
Foley [urinary] catheter should not have been laying on the floor due to infection control and it shouldn't be
that full that the urine backs up into the catheter, because it can cause a urinary tract infection.
During an interview on 7/17/2024 at 07:33 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, The Foley catheter
should not be laying on the floor. It should be hung below the bladder but not touching the floor. The Foley
catheter laying on the floor poses a risk for infection and if the backflow in the catheter reaches the
resident, it could cause pain and infection.
During an interview on 07/17/2024 at 9:54 AM Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN) stated, The urinary catheter
should not have been on the floor. It looks like it was so full the hook slipped off the bed. The backflow of
the urine could cause a UTI [Urinary Tract Infection], abdominal distention and cause the resident pain. I
should have seen it when I was in her room that morning, but I didn't.
Review of the policy number 11.16, titled, Catheter Care, last reviewed on 1/30/2024, read:
