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 ensure oxygen therapy was administered per physician orders for 2 of 2 residents reviewed for oxygen therapy, of a total sample of 46 residents, (#14 and #58). Residents Affected - Few Findings: 1. Resident #14 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cerebral infarction (stroke). The Minimum Data Set (MDS) modification of the quarterly assessment dated [DATE], revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status, (BIMS) of 15 which indicated the resident was cognitively intact. The assessment also reflected resident #14 received oxygen. Observations on 4/15/24 at 3:17 PM, and 4/16/24 at 10:28 AM, revealed resident #14 wearing a nasal cannula attached to an oxygen concentrator set at 6 liters per minute (LPM) of oxygen. Review of the Order Summary Report dated 3/15/23 revealed a physician's order for oxygen at 10 LPM by nasal cannula, every shift. On 4/16/24, the order was changed to oxygen at 6 LPM by nasal cannula every shift. Review of the COPD care plan indicated an intervention dated 3/15/24 and revised on 3/18/24 which described staff should follow physician orders for oxygen settings. On 4/16/24 at 10:30 AM, Unit Manager (UM) A checked her computer and stated resident #14's oxygen concentrator should be set to 10 LPM. UM A observed resident #14's oxygen concentrator in his room, and confirmed it was set at 6 LPM, not the 10 LPM ordered by the physician. The UM adjusted the oxygen flow rate of the concentrator to 10 LPM. The UM described the protocol for ensuring oxygen was delivered as ordered was the nurse should check the concentrator flow rate at the beginning of the shift. 2. Resident #58 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, heart failure, mood disorder, and anxiety. The MDS modification of the significant change assessment dated [DATE], revealed he was rarely or never understood, was severely, cognitively impaired, and received oxygen therapy. Observations on 4/15/24 at 2:00 PM and 4/16/24 at 10:27 AM, revealed resident #58 in his room wearing a nasal cannula connected to an oxygen concentrator set at 1.5 LPM. Review of the Order Summary Report dated 3/26/24 revealed an order for continuous oxygen at 2 LPM by nasal cannula. Review of the cardiovascular care plan indicated an intervention dated 2/09/23 and revised on 10/10/23 for oxygen settings, give oxygen as needed. The oxygen therapy care plan had an intervention dated 11/07/23, revised on 4/04/24 for staff to administer oxygen by nasal cannula per physician orders.

F 0725 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure sufficient nursing staff was available on 2 of 3 units to meet residents' needs related to timely administration of scheduled medications, (Cliffstone and Pebblestone). Findings: Observations on 4/15/24 at 10:53 AM, and at 12:43 PM, showed Registered Nurse (RN) O at her medication cart still administering 9:00 AM medications. On 4/15/24 at 6:02 PM, RN O stated she completed the scheduled 9:00 AM medications at approximately 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM. She stated medications were supposed to be given either one hour before or one hour after the scheduled medication times. On 4/16/24 at 10:07 AM, and at 10:47 AM, RN M was observed in the process of medication administration on Cliffstone unit. On 4/16/24 at 10:50 AM, RN M stated he had three additional residents who had not received their 9:00 AM medications. He explained he was delayed because he had to explain each medication to another resident. On 4/16/24 at 11:12 AM, RN M was again observed at his medication cart. He stated he had one more resident to give 9:00 AM medications to. On 4/16/24, resident #90 was observed on the Pebblestone Unit receiving his scheduled 9:00 AM medications from Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) J over 2 hours late at 12:08 PM.

She explained she was not stationed on a specific unit, and every time she worked, she was assigned to a different unit, so she tried to familiarize herself with the new residents and their medication routines. LPN C acknowledged she completed the scheduled 9:00 AM medications about 2 hours late, at approximately 12 PM. She said it was, unrealistic to safely pass medications for 30 residents in a 2-hour window, and complete other tasks that needed her attention. She acknowledged late medications were considered a medication error if they were given after the 1 hour before or after window. The LPN explained she took her time during medication administration, to ensure she did not make a mistake. She stated she had received education from Administration that medications should be given within one hour before or one hour after the scheduled time. On 4/17/24 at 2:57 PM, late medication administration observations were discussed with the Director of Clinical Services (DCS), and the Regional DCS. The Regional DCS stated the facility had an Ad Hoc QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) meeting on 3/19/24 after on-time completion of medication administration was identified as a concern.

Concerns with self-administration of medication was identified and cited at F554 on the previous recertification survey conducted 10/23/23 through 10/26/23. During this survey, concerns with self-administration of medications were again identified and the facility was found to be in noncompliance with F554. Insufficient auditing and oversight by the QAPI committee to prevent the citation was identified as a result of the repeat concerns regarding self-administration of medications. On 4/18/24 at 6:25 PM, the Administrator stated the facility constantly educated staff on medications at bedside and department heads conducted daily room rounds. She explained medications at bedside was a challenge because residents purchased them on outings or family members brought them in. She stated the department heads were supposed to look at bedside areas to identify medications during their rounds. She could not explain why medications were still found at bedside without resident assessments for self-administration of medications when facility improvement actions were in place.
