**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY**
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observations, interviews, medical record review, and a review of the facility's policies and
procedures, the facility failed to ensure residents who required respiratory care received care consistent
with professional standards of practice and their comprehensive care plans, for two (Residents #87 and
#76) of three residents reviewed for respiratory care, from a total of 36 residents in the sample.
The findings include:
1. An observation of Resident #87 was made on 03/20/23 at 11:59 AM in her room. An oxygen concentrator
was in the room and the flow rate (gauge) was set between the 1 and 2 measurement, indicating oxygen
was flowing at a rate of 1.5 liters per minute (lpm). (Photographic evidence obtained) Resident #87's nasal
cannula was lying on the bed. The resident stated she took it off for a few minutes, becasue it hurt her nose.
She stated her oxygen flow rate should be set at 2 lpm.
On 03/22/23 at 10:00 AM, Resident #87 was observed in her bed. Her oxygen concentrator was on and her
nasal cannula was in place. She was observed with labored breathing as evidenced by the deep rise and
fall of her chest. She stated she did not feel well, however denied difficulty breathing. Her oxygen
concentrator was set at 1.5 lpm. (Photographic evidence obtained) Resident #87 again reported that her
oxygen flow rate should be set at 2 lpm.
On 03/22/23 at 1:46 PM and again at 2:28 PM, Resident # 87 was observed with her oxygen in use. Both
observations found that the oxygen concentrator was set at 1.5 lpm. (Photographic evidence obtained)
A review of Resident #87's medical record found that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had an
annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 02/05/23, that noted she had a Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score of 14 out of a possible 15 points, indicating she was cognitively intact. She
required limited assistance with activities of daily living. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to,
coronary artery disease, hypertension, asthma/COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), interstitial
pulmonary disease unspecified (a group of disorders that cause lung scarring and affect breathing) and
bronchiectasis (a condition in which the lung's airways become damaged). Resident #87 was documented
as receiving oxygen while a resident of the facility.
Resident #87 was care planned on 02/11/22 for her diagnosis of COPD with a goal to be free from signs
and symptoms of respiratory infections through the next review date. Interventions included, but were not
limited to, Oxygen (O2) settings: O2 via (nasal cannula) at 2 liters (continuous),

A review of Resident #87's March 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) found oxygen was signed
off as having been provided at 2 lpm every shift.
Residents Affected - Few
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B was interviewed on 03/22/23 at 2:34 PM. He stated Resident #87 did
use oxygen, but only a nurse could set the flow rate. Every time a CNA checked it and found the flow rate
setting to be inaccurate, they informed the nurse. Nurses let the CNAs know the appropriate oxygen
settings for each individual resident who was receiving oxygen.
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) D was interviewed on 03/23/23 at 9:37 AM. He stated Resident #87 was on
continuous oxygen and would take it off and replace the cannula independently. Nurses adjusted her
oxygen levels and she was receiving oxygen at 2 lpm. She did sometimes experience shortness of breath
but also had anxiety. He was asked to check the flow rate setting of her concentrator, which he did on
03/23/2023 at 10:05 AM. The flow rate was set between 1.5 and 2 lpm. (Photographic evidence obtained)
LPN D stated the ball in the gauge should be right in the middle of the 2 on the gauge, indicating the flow
rate was 2 lpm. He was shown the photos of prior observations. He reviewed the photos and said, No, that
is not 2 liters. He stated he adjusted her concentrator to 2 lpm this morning but the ball dropped to where it
currently was. He thought the gauge needed to be fixed.
In an interview with the Unit Manager on 03/23/23 at 11:06 AM, she was asked how the gauge should look
if oxygen was flowing at 2 lpm. She demonstrated using her fingers that the ball should be right in the
middle of the 2 liter line. When shown the photos of Resident #87's oxygen flow rate setting, she confirmed
that they were not reflective of 2 lpm settings.
A review of the facility's policy titled Administration of Medications (issued 04/24/19, reviewed 08/25/22 and
revised 02/13/23) found it stated it was the facility's policy to ensure medications were administered safely
and appriopriately per the physician's orders to address residents' diagnoses and signs and symptoms.
Under the section titled Procedure, it stated under section B: Staff who are responsible for medication
administration will adhere to the 10 Rights of Medication Administration. Subsection 1. Reference the Right
Drug and subsection 3., the Right Dose. (Photographic evidence obtained)
2. During a tour of the facility on 03/20/23 at 12:55 PM, Resident #76 was observed sitting in her
wheelchair at the side of her bed wearing a nasal cannula. Her oxygen concentrator, located at bedside,
was observed with the flow rate set at 3.5 lpm. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 03/21/23 at 10:22 AM, another observation of Resident #76's oxygen concentrator revealed it was set to
3.0 lpm. (Photographic evidence obtained)
A review of Resident #76's physician's order, dated 4/12/22, revealed she was to receive oxygen at 2 lpm
via nasal cannula, as needed, for shortness of breath. (Copy obtained)
On 03/22/23 at 8:49 AM, another observation of Resident #76's oxygen concentrator revealed it was set at
3.0 lpm. (Photographic evidence obtained)
A review of Resident#76's medical record revealed she was admitted into the facility on [DATE] and then
readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included congestive heart failure; respiratory failure, unspecified with
hypoxia; respiratory failure, unspecified with hypercapnia; type 2 diabetes mellitus

with diabetic chronic kidney disease; pleural effusion; hypertensive heart disease with heart failure;
cognitive/communicative deficit; dysphagia, and dependence on supplemental oxygen.
A review of the March 2023 Medication Administration Record (MAR) revealed oxygen at 2 lpm via nasal
cannula as needed for shortness of breath had no nursing initials indicating the oxygen was provided per
the order. (Copy obtained)
A review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/07/23, revealed that Resident
#76 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 10 out of a possible 15 points, indicating
moderate cognitive impairment. The assessment also documented that she was receiving oxygen therapy.
A review of Resident #76's care plan, dated 08/06/21, revealed she had oxygen therapy related to
congestive heart failure, recent respiratory failure, and perceived Shortness of Breath (SOB). Interventions
included: Change resident's position every 2 hours to facilitate lung secretion movement and drainage.
Encourage or assist with ambulation as indicated. Give medications as ordered by physician. Oxygen
settings: Oxygen at 2 liters via nasal cannula, continuous, humidified to maintain sats (blood oxygen level)
>92%.
On 03/22/23 at 8:53 AM, LPN A confirmed that the oxygen concentrator for Resident #76 was set to
administer oxygen at 3.5 lpm. LPN A confirmed that Resident #76's physician's order was for an oxygen
flow rate of 2 lpm. LPN A reported that nursing was responsible for ongoing monitoring of oxygen therapy,
ensuring the resident was provided the correct oxygen flow rate per the order, as well as weekly tubing
changes. Correct oxygen settings were identified in the MAR. Correct oxygen settings were communicated
from one staff person to another in report during shift change or by checking the MAR.
On 03/22/23 at 9:20 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that correct oxygen settings were
identified by nurses in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Night shift nursing staff were responsible for
weekly tubing changes, every 7 days on Wednesdays.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Oxygen Administration/Safety/Storage/Maintenance
(dated: 12/03/22), revealed: Oxygen will be administered in accordance with physicians' orders and current
standards of practice. (Copy obtained)
