She stated, The nurse practitioner was here, and she told us to crank it up a bit. His sats (blood oxygen saturation levels) were at 88 this morning. She stated, she thought his oxygen is usually set at 2.5 LPM. A review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed the resident was assessed as receiving oxygen therapy in the 14 days of the assessment period. A review of the care plan dated 02/11/22 revealed the resident has potential altered respiratory status/difficulty breathing related to acute respiratory failure related to history of left lower lobe atelectasis and modest cardiomegaly on admission. Interventions included administering medications/puffers as ordered. Encourage sustained deep breathes by using demonstration (emphasizing slow inhalations, holding end inspiration for a few seconds and passive exhalation). Using incentive spirometer (place close for convenient resident use). Oxygen setting: O2 at 2 LPM via NC with humidification. Further review of the physician's orders for Resident #94 revealed no order for oxygen at 4 LPM. Based on observations, interviews, record reviews, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to ensure that five (Residents #15, #75, #39, #94, and #121) of five residents receiving continuous oxygen therapy, received the correct number of liters of oxygen ordered by the physician, from a total sample of 37 residents. This could result in the resident not receiving appropriate care and/or clinical complications. The findings include: 1. On 03/07/22 at 1:00 PM, Resident #15 was observed lying in bed with oxygen (O2) via nasal cannula (n/c). Her oxygen concentrator was set at 3 liters per minute (LPM).

Based on observations, interviews, record reviews, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. The facility failed to ensure the dishwashing machine was operating at the required temperatures, sanitizer was at correct levels, and thermometer was in tray line refrigerator. The findings include: On 03/07/22 at 3:00 PM, Employee I, Dietary Aide, was observed running the dishwashing machine. Employee I was asked what temperature the machine should be at for washing dishes, he stated, I have no idea. On 03/07/22 at 3:05 PM, the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) entered the kitchen and was asked about the dishwashing machine. The CDM stated, it was a low temperature machine. The CDM was asked to check the sanitizer level and dish machine temperatures at this time. The sanitizer strip was observed at 10 PPM, wash temperature read 140 F, the rinse read 150° F, and final rinse gauge was at 190 °F. During this time, the dishwashing machines manufacturer's sticker was observed and read: wash tank minimum temperature 140° F and final rinse minimum temperature of 120° F. (Photographic evidence obtained) A review of the dishwashing machine temperature log for March 2022 revealed the wash temperatures ranged from 124° F to 127° F and rinse temperatures ranged from 126° F to 128° F (Photographic evidence obtained). The CDM was observed asking kitchen staff about the temperatures of the machine, but no one answered her. She stated, she would have to go to paper products if she couldn't figure out why the temperature of machine was high. She stated, she would call a repairman. On 03/7/22 at 3:20 PM, the Regional CDM was asked to show the thermometer in the tray line refrigerator. He was unable to locate it. He went to the office and returned with a thermometer for the refrigerator. On 03/7/22 at 3:45 PM, the CDM reported that she spoke with dishwasher repairman. He told her the final rinse should not be higher than 170° F and the temperature booster had been turned on. The CDM was unable to explain why the booster had been turned on. She reported, she turned off the booster and the dishwasher's temperatures were at normal levels. During a second visit to the kitchen on 03/09/22 at 12:10 PM, the CDM was asked about the dishwashing machine. She reported the staff had been looking at the wrong temperature gauges when filling out the temperature log form. She reported that an in-service was conducted with the staff on 03/08/22. On 03/09/22 at 12:30 PM, the CDM was observed running the dish machine. The dishwashing machine cycled 9 times before the machine reached the temperature of 140° F wash and 135° F at rinse. The CDM tested the sanitizer strip which turned a light purple color indicating a low sanitization level of 10 PPM.
