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.

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.
