F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to accurately assess 2 residents (#35 and #54) out of 2 residents with oxygen and pacemakers. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #35 was admitted to the facility in September 2020 with a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Review of the Minimum Data Sets (MDS) dated [DATE], 1/26/22, and 3/19/22 revealed Resident #35 was using oxygen while admitted to the facility. Review of the January, February, and March 2022 Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #35 revealed an active order for Oxygen 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula as needed for shortness of breath. The order had a start date of 12/5/21. There were no initials from nursing staff on the MAR signifying Resident #35 was using oxygen at the facility during the months of January, February, or March. Review of the care plans for Resident #35 revealed no oxygen care plan had been formulated for Resident #35 indicating appropriate individualized interventions for oxygen use. On 3/29/22 at 9:15 a.m., Resident #35 was observed sitting on the side of his bed, wearing a nasal canula. The nasal canula was connected to an oxygen concentrator next to the bed.

The MDS coordinator said she had failed to create the oxygen care plan for Resident #35 because the Medication Administration Records (MARS) indicated Resident #35 was not using the oxygen. The MDS Director said when she realized Resident #35 had been using the oxygens on 3/31/22, she formulated the oxygen care plan for Resident #35. Review of the medical record indicated Resident #54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis of Cardiac Pacemaker.
