Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to obtain physician orders for oxygen
therapy (R4), failed to administer oxygen according to physician orders (R11), and failed to change oxygen
humidifier bottles and tubing according to physician orders (R4 and R11). These failures affect two
residents (R4 and R11) out of five reviewed for specialized services on a sample of eleven. Findings
include: 1) R4's medical diagnoses list dated 9/24/25 documents R4 experiences medical conditions
including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia, Respiratory
Conditions due to Unspecified External Agent, Chronic Congestive Heart Failure, and Unstable Chest Pain.
On 9/23/25 at 10:04 AM, R4 was seated in a recliner in his room receiving oxygen therapy through a nasal
cannula tubing from an oxygen concentrator running at two and one half liters per minute. R4's oxygen
humidifier bottle was completely dry. R4's nasal cannula and humidifier bottle were dated 9/1 (2025). On
9/23/25 at 10:04 AM, R4 stated his oxygen should be running around 4 liters per minute. R4 acknowledged
his oxygen humidifier bottle was dry and stated it happens frequently. On 9/24/25 at 1:25 PM, R4 was
seated in a recliner in his room, again receiving oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula tubing from an
oxygen concentrator running at two and one half liters per minute. R4 stated no one had come to give him a
new oxygen humidifier bottle yet. R4's current physician order sheet dated 9/24/25 did not include any
physician orders for oxygen therapy, the rate at which R4 was to receive oxygen, nor the delivery method
such as from a mask versus the nasal cannula tubing. This same physician order sheet did document R4's
oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing were to be changed weekly every Sunday night. On
9/24/25 at 1:35 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated R4's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing
were supposed to be changed every Sunday night. 2) R11's medical diagnoses list dated 9/24/25
documents R11 experiences medical conditions including Emphysema, Sleep Apnea, and Solitary
Pulmonary Nodule. On 9/24/25 at 1:48 PM, R11 was seated in a chair in his room receiving oxygen through
a nasal cannula tubing from an oxygen concentrator running at five liters per minute. R11's oxygen
humidifier bottle had approximately one eighth of an inch of water which was low enough that the oxygen
supply was not touching the water to create any bubbles. R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula
tubing were not dated to indicate the most recent time they were changed. R11's current physician order
sheet dated 9/24/25 documents R11 is to receive oxygen therapy at two liters per minute at night and
during naps, and at two liters per minute as needed during the daytime. This same physician order sheet
documents R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing are to be changed weekly on Tuesday
nights (the most recent of which would have been 9/23/25). On 9/24/25 at 3:09 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing)
stated R11's humidifier bottle would not have run down to the level of one eighth of an inch if it was
changed according to the physician orders the night before on 9/23/25. The facility's policy Oxygen
Administration dated as revised October 2010, provided by V15, Regional Nursing Consultant, documents

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately record provided services
by documenting incomplete treatments as completed. This failure affects two residents (R4 and R11) out of
five reviewed for specialty services and treatments on the sample list of eleven. Findings include: 1) On
9/23/25 at 10:04 AM, R4 was seated in a recliner in his room receiving oxygen therapy through a nasal
cannula tubing from an oxygen concentrator running at two and one half liters per minute. R4's oxygen
humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing were both dated 9/1 (2025) to indicate the last time they were
changed. R4's oxygen humidifier bottle was completely dry. R4's current Physician Order Sheet dated
9/24/25 documents R4's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing need to be changed weekly on
Sunday nights. R4's Treatment Administration Record for September, printed on 9/24/25, includes nursing
staff initials and a checkmark on each of the scheduled dates when R4's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal
cannula tubing was scheduled to be changed, 9/7, 9/14, and 9/21. 2) On 9/24/25 at 1:48 PM R11 was
seated in a chair in his room receiving oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula tubing from an oxygen
concentrator. R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing were not dated to indicate the last
time they were changed. R11's current Physician Order Sheet dated 9/24/25 documents R11's oxygen
humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing need to be changed weekly on Tuesday nights. R11's Treatment
Administration Record for September, printed 9/24/25, includes nursing staff initials and checkmarks on
each of the dates R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing was scheduled to be changed,
9/2, 9/9, 9/16, and 9/23. On 9/24/25 at 1:35 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed the nurses' initials and
checkmarks are placed on the record to indicate the humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing had been
changed in accordance with the physician orders but obviously had not been changed. V2 further stated the
nurses' initials were from agency nurses and not facility staff nurses, but she would need to educate all the
nurses, including agency nurses, about accurate documentation. V2 confirmed R4's oxygen humidifier
bottle would not run dry in two days, nor R11's run down to one eighth of an inch overnight, if they had
been changed as documented by the agency nurses. The facility policy Oxygen Administration dated as
revised October 2010, provided by V15, Regional Nurse Consultant, documents information that should be
recorded in the resident's medical records including the date and time of procedures, the nurses' name and
title who performed the procedure, and needs to be documented or recorded in accordance with
professional standards of practice. The facility policy Charting and Documentation dated as revised July
2017 documents all treatments and services provided to the resident shall be documented in the resident's
medical record. This policy further documents that all documentation will be complete and accurate.
