Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility had a pattern of failing to follow physician prescribed respiratory therapy orders for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for respiratory care, of a total sample of 49 residents, (#10).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings: On 6/03/24 at 11:55 AM, resident #10's oxygen was set at 3 liters per minute (LPM) but review of the physician's orders showed the order for oxygen (O2) at 5 LPM dated 10/11/22. On 6/03/24 at 10:56 AM, the assigned Registered Nurse (RN) C, checked the order for resident #10's oxygen and confirmed it was for 5 LPM. There was also an order for O2 tubing to be changed weekly and labeled with the date. RN C went to resident #10's room and checked the resident's oxygen concentrator noting it was set for 3 LPM and the O2 tubing was not dated. She stated she had completed medication pass for this resident this morning and was supposed to check the oxygen order at that time, but confirmed she did not do so. When RN C started to change the oxygen level to 5 LPM, as per the order, the resident got very upset and started crying. The resident stated she worked hard over the last 2 years to wean herself off the oxygen to get it down to 3 LPM and did not want it to go back up to 5 LPM. Resident #10 explained nurses would adjust the oxygen level to 3 LPM as requested by the resident herself, and thought the physician was aware of this. She confirmed this had gone on for about a year, and denied ever touching the oxygen concentrator setting herself. RN C stated she was assigned to this resident 5 days/week on the day shift and confirmed what resident #10 said. RN C tested the resident's O2 saturation level which was 97%. RN C agreed the nursing staff from each shift were supposed to be checking the resident's oxygen order, but were not, or had not noticed the order was different from the actual O2 setting on the machine. She stated the nursing staff was checking the resident's 02 saturation level regularly and it had been fine. Review of the resident's Electronic Treatment Administration for the prior 6 month period showed the order for oxygen at 5 LPM was verified and documented as administered by nurses 3 shifts a day during this time. RN C notified the resident's physician and received an updated order for O2 at 3 LPM. In an interview on 06/04/24 at 11:10 AM, the Director of Nursing stated nursing was required to follow doctors' orders regarding monitoring oxygen settings, and this varied with each resident. She continued, the order for this resident was to check oxygen settings at every shift and stated she had been made aware nursing staff had charted resident #10 received 5 LPM of oxygen since October 2022.
