Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, review of facility policy and resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to provide
the necessary care and services to monitor and maintain a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
machine for 1 (Resident #157) of 1 resident reviewed with a CPAP machine (machine used to deliver
constant and steady air pressure to help breathe while sleeping).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The facility policy #381 Respiratory Equipment with a review date of 2/21 documented, To maintain
nebulizers and oxygen equipment and positive airway pressure machines (to include CPAP and BIPAP) and
accessories in a sanitary manner .Respiratory equipment will be cleaned, maintained and or changed in a
timely manner within predictable intervals and as needed for soiling/replacement .CPAP masks will be
sanitized daily using manufacturer recommendations . Nursing staff will document completion of respiratory
equipment maintenance in the medical record .
On 10/26/21 at 1:40 p.m., during an observation, Resident #157 had a CPAP machine on the nightstand.
The nasal mask was stored in the drawer uncovered.
Photographic evidence obtained.
On 10/26/21 at 2:01 p.m., a review of the clinical record revealed Resident #157 had diagnoses including
obstructive sleep apnea (a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops).
The clinical record showed no documentation of a physician order or a care plan to indicate the settings or
use of the CPAP machine.
On 10/27/21 at 9:51 a.m., in an interview, Resident #157 said his wife brought the CPAP machine to him on
10/24/21 and said he takes care of his CPAP machine. Resident #157 said he was able to apply and
remove the CPAP mask.
On 10/28/21 at 10:33 a.m., in an interview Registered Nurse Supervisor Staff C said the procedure for
CPAP machines was to obtain a physician order for use with the machine settings. The order is then placed
on the medication administration record. The night shift nurse was responsible to assist the resident to put
the CPAP mask on and to remove it in the morning. Staff C said the CPAP machine would be care planned
so staff knew how to assist the resident and maintain the machine.
Staff C reviewed Resident #157's clinical record and confirmed there was not a physician order for the
CPAP machine and no care plan was initiated. Staff C confirmed the clinical record provided no
documentation for the use and care of Resident #157's CPAP machine.
