Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the recommended restorative care
to provide a splint application to prevent the potential for worsening of contractures for 1 of 2 residents
reviewed for mobility/range of motion, of a total sample of 43 residents, (#85).
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #85 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital.
His diagnoses included spinal stenosis, muscle weakness, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Resident # 85's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date of 6/15/24 revealed
the resident scored 14 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status which indicated the resident did not
have any cognitive impairment. The MDS assessment noted the resident had upper extremity impairment
on both sides and required substantial/maximal assistance with upper body dressing. The MDS
assessment also noted the resident did not exhibit behavior symptoms or rejection of care that was
necessary to achieve the resident's goals for health and well-being.
Review of resident #85's medical record revealed a care plan was initiated on 7/09/24 and revised on
7/18/24 which indicated the resident had restorative nursing for his left resting hand splint to decrease the
risk for further contraction.
Resident #85's Order Summary Report showed an active physician's order for restorative nursing program
for active and passive range of motion and splint application.
Review of resident #85's restorative nursing program referral, signed and dated by the Occupational
Therapist (OT) on 7/18/24 indicated passive range of motion (PROM) and splint/brace assistance for the
resident's left hand 4-5 days a week for 4-6 hours.
On 7/29/24 at 12:17 PM, and on 7/30/24 at 10:10 AM, resident #85 was observed with a left-hand
contracture with no splint in place. He stated the splint was supposed to be applied daily, but it had not
been applied several times last week, over the weekend, the day before (7/29), or today (7/30). He stated
he needed the splint and wanted it to be applied but was unsure why staff were not applying it.
On 7/31/24 at 11:30 AM, the Director of Rehabilitation stated resident #85 was admitted with a contracture
in his left elbow, wrist, and fingers, along with mild impairment in his right hand. He conveyed the resident

for left hand splinting and was reassessed by the OT on 7/18/24. He acknowledged the resident was to
have a splint applied to his left upper extremity 4-5 days a week 4-6 hours each time to prevent further
contracture. He confirmed the resident liked to wear the splint and was compliant with its use. He also

restorative nurses applied the splints according to the physician orders and noted resident #85 was
currently on the restorative caseload for left-hand splint application. She acknowledged the resident was to
have the left-hand splint applied 4-5 days a week for 4-6 hours as prescribed, and the splint application was
documented in the task section of the electronic medical record. She reviewed the task report and
confirmed the splint had not been applied on 7/18/24, 7/22/24, 7/25/24, 7/27/24, 7/28/24, 7/29/24, or

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 maintain oxygen flow rates as ordered by the
physician for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for respiratory care, of a total sample of 43 residents, (#75).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of the medical record revealed resident #75 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital.
His diagnosis included rhabdomyolysis, chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, heart failure, muscle
weakness, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Resident # 75's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) with an assessment reference date of 5/06/24
revealed the resident scored 15 out of 15 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status which indicated the
resident did not have any cognitive impairment. The MDS assessment noted the resident required
partial/moderate assistance with sit to stand transfer and upper body dressing and received oxygen
therapy. The MDS assessment also noted the resident did not exhibit behavior symptoms or rejection of
care that was necessary to achieve the resident's goals for health and well-being.
Review of resident #75's medical record revealed a care plan was initiated on 5/03/24 that indicated the
resident to be administered oxygen as ordered.
Resident #75's Order Summary Report showed an active physician's order for continuous oxygen at 2 liters
per minute, via nasal cannula every shift for COPD.
Oxygen can be given to COPD patients but only in controlled amounts .Hypercapnia respiratory failure is
when there is too much carbon dioxide in your blood, and near normal or not enough oxygen in your blood,
and it can be fatal. It commonly occurs in people with COPD who are given too much or uncontrolled
amounts of oxygen, (retrieved on 8/02/24 from www.drugs.com).
On 7/29/24 at 3:42 PM, resident #75 was observed lying in bed with oxygen administered through a nasal
cannula. The oxygen concentrator's flow rate was set at 4 liters per minute. Resident #75 stated he had not
adjusted the oxygen concentrator flow rate. His family member by his bedside stated she had not adjusted
the oxygen concentrator and had noticed the flow rate was sometimes set at 4 liters but was supposed to
be set at 2 liters instead.
On 7/29/24 at 3:52 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A reviewed resident #75's oxygen order and
confirmed the current order specified the resident was to receive 2 liters per minute of oxygen continuously
via nasal cannula for COPD. She observed resident #75's oxygen concentrator flow rate and acknowledged
it was incorrectly set to 4 liters per minute instead of 2 as prescribed. The LPN stated it was the nurse's
responsibility to set the resident's oxygen flow rate as prescribed by the physician and to routinely monitor
the oxygen settings to ensure the flow rates aligned with the physician's order. She reiterated it was
important to have the oxygen set at the correct flow rate to prevent respiratory distress or oxygen toxicity.
On 7/31/24 at 9:30 AM, the Director of Nursing reviewed resident #75's oxygen order and confirmed it
specified the resident was to receive 2 liters per minute of oxygen continuously for COPD. She
acknowledged it was the nurse's responsibility to check the oxygen concentrator every shift to ensure the
oxygen flow rate matched the physician order. She stated resident #75 had COPD, making it
