F 0580 dates: 8/13/23; 8/18/23; 8/22/23; 8/24/23; 8/25/23; 8/27/23-8/31/23. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm R1's Treatment Administration Record/TAR dated 9/1/23-9/30/23 states, Apply CPAP at bedtime related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This same TAR documents R1 refused the CPAP treatment on the following dates: 9/1/23; 9/4/23-9/7/23; 9/9/23; and 9/10/23. On 9/2/23, the box is blank with no documentation as to whether the CPAP was applied or not. Residents Affected - Few R1's Health Status Note on 9/9/23 states, Message to NP/Nurse Practitioner (unknown) to update that (R1) refuses to wear (R1's) CPAP most nights. R1's Health Status Note on 9/11/23 states, Due to (R1) frequently refusing to wear CPAP, N.O. (new order) received from MD (unknown) to DC (discontinue) CPAP at this time. Will arrange for pickup. As of 1/11/24, R1's Nursing Notes dated 8/1/23-9/30/23 did not contain documentation of the following: V13 (R1's Nurse Practitioner) was notified of R1's refusals to wear R1's CPAP therapy prior to 9/9/23; V7 (R1's Power of Attorney) was notified of R1's refusals to wear R1's CPAP therapy; or that V7 was notified that R1's CPAP therapy was discontinued. On 1/10/24 at 2:02 PM, V7 (R1's Power of Attorney) denied ever being notified that R1 was refusing to wear R1's CPAP or when R1's CPAP was discontinued. V7 stated, (R1) was wearing (R1's) CPAP for his sleep apnea. (R1's) CPAP machine records data throughout the night when (R1) uses the machine. We take that data to the (Name of Provider), and they make changes to (R1's) CPAP machine's settings accordingly. If I had known (R1) was refusing to wear (the CPAP machine), I could have talked to (R1) and encouraged him to wear it because it's important. I didn't know it had been discontinued until I tried getting the data off the machine before (R1's) appointment and the facility told me the CPAP had been discontinued 'months ago'. On 1/10/24 at 11:01 PM, via telephone call due to third shift hours, V9 (Registered Nurse) stated that V9 never saw R1 wear R1's CPAP. V9 stated R1 preferred R1's home machine and would not wear the facility's provided CPAP machine. V9 stated the facility allowed R1 to use R1's home mask, but R1 would continue to refuse. V9 denied ever notifying V7 (R1's Power of Attorney), V13 (R1's Nurse Practitioner) or V14 (R1's Physician) of R1's refusals. On 1/11/24 at 12:18 PM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) verified no documentation could be provided documenting the following: V7 (R1's Power of Attorney) was ever notified of R1's refusals to wear R1's CPAP; V7 being notified when R1's CPAP was discontinued; or that V13 (R1's Nurse Practitioner) or V14 (R1's Physician) were notified of R1's refusals to wear R1's CPAP prior to 9/9/23. At this time, V3 verified V7 wasn't notified and should have been and that V13 or V14 should have been notified sooner.
