Residents Affected - Few
The findings included: The facility policy Oxygen Administration (revised 10/2010) documented, The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration . Before administering oxygen, and while the resident is receiving oxygen therapy, assess for the following: 1. Signs or symptoms of cyanosis (blue tone to the skin and mucous membranes). 2. Signs or symptoms of hypoxia (rapid breathing, rapid pulse, restlessness, confusion). 3. Signs or symptoms of oxygen toxicity (difficulty breathing, slow or shallow rate of breathing). Review of the clinical record showed Resident #180 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dependence on supplemental oxygen. The admission orders dated 9/18/21 included oxygen therapy at 2 liters per minute per nasal cannula continuous.

The interventions listed on the care plan included to administer oxygen per order and monitor the resident for signs and symptoms of hypoxemia (low concentration of oxygen in the blood) such as restlessness, forgetfulness, anxiety, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin from inadequate oxygenation), and lethargy.
