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 provide a portable oxygen tank that was full
for a resident. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for oxygen in a sample of 3.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 9/27/24 at 10:15 AM, surveyor and V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) went to R1's room. R1 was sitting in
her wheelchair. At the back of her wheelchair, R1 had a portable oxygen tank that was connected to her
nasal cannula. The dial was turned to 3 liters but it read empty. V2 removed the nasal cannula as instructed
by the surveyor and put the nasal prongs near her wrist. Then, she passed it to surveyor who did the same
thing. Both V2 and surveyor confirmed no air was able to be felt. R1 was asked if she felt any air and she
said No! Surveyor asked R1 if she had any problems breathing or if she was in any type of distress. She
stated no she was not. R1's oxygen saturation rate was 91%.
On 9/27/24 at 10:18 AM, V2 stated that the tank should have been full or changed out. V2 also confirmed
that when R1 was brought back to her room from the dining room, she should have been connected to her
concentrator.
On 9/27/24 at 10:21 AM, V4 (CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, I'm (R1)'s CNA today. She was on
her concentrator last night. Then, I switched her to the portable oxygen tank and took her to the dining room
so she can eat her breakfast. It was not empty then. Then I brought her back to her room. The oxygen tank
was on yellow. I'm sorry. I should have changed it out. Did they bring a new oxygen tank for her?
On 9/27/24 at 10:29 AM, V2 stated, (V3-Hospice Nurse) brought it to my attention that my staff wasn't using
the portable oxygen concentrator that was provided by hospice for (R1) when she is in the dining room.
Instead, they were using the portable oxygen tank. I inserviced my staff and made sure this was
communicated to all the staff. I talked to V5 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) and she told me the portable
oxygen concentrator is charging, but it's not turning on. I told (V3) this but she said our staff is not charging
it at night. We checked it today and it's not turning on. So, I have to tell hospice again to send a new one.
On 9/24/24 at 1:48 PM, telephone interview was done with V3 (Hospice Nurse). V3 stated, The staff there
are not using the portable oxygen concentrator when they are taking (R1) to the dining room. Instead, they
are using the portable oxygen tank. Today and a couple of days ago, I saw the tank was turned off. I told
them they have to get a new tank or (R1) is going to die. She is on hospice and has COPD. They are having
problems keeping the tank full.

cognitive communication deficit, unspecified atrial fibrillation, heart failure, schizophrenia, unspecified
dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance,
and anxiety, Parkinson's disease without dyskinesia, without mention of fluctuations.
R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 9/23/24 shows a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 8,
which means she is moderately impaired in cognition.
R1's POS (Physician Order Sheet) for September 2024 shows the following orders: Admit to hospice with
diagnosis of COPD (3/20/24), DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), Plug in portable oxygen at bedtime and apply
during the day. Every day and night shift related to COPD. Plug in portable oxygen at bedtime and apply
during the day.
Progress notes show the following:
On 8/20/24 at 6:10 AM (Medical Doctor's Note): [AGE] year old female admitted to facility on 2/24/23.
Patient came in to ER (Emergency Room) due to acute hypercapnic and hypoxic respiratory failure. Felt to
be due to COPD exacerbation. CT Chest shows extensive COPD with emphysema. 1. Severe COPD,
oxygen deprivation. Appears compensated. Patient requires close monitoring, high risk for
decompensating. On hospice care.
On 9/17/24 at 8:38 AM (Nurse Practitioner Note): Oxygen down to 93% on 9/12, otherwise stable,

V3's (Hospice Nurse) Hospice Communication Log Note dated 9/26/24 shows: Routine visit. Patient SOB
(Shortness of Breath) Oxygen tank turned off. This writer turned on and ensured patient comfortable
breathing prior to leaving.
R1's care plan (Undated) shows: (R1) has potential for difficulty in breathing related to COPD, Chronic
Respiratory Failure, CHF (Congestive Heart Failure). Goal: (R1)'s respiratory symptoms will be managed
through next review. Interventions: Administer oxygen as ordered. Hospice: (R1) is under the hospice care
with terminal diagnosis of COPD. (R1) has oxygen therapy related to congestive heart failure, ineffective
gas exchange, respiratory illness to COPD. Goal: The resident will have no signs or symptoms of poor
oxygen absorption through the review date. Intervention: Give medication as ordered by physician.
Monitor/document side effects and effectiveness. If the resident is allowed to eat, oxygen still must be give
to the resident but in different manner (changing from mask to a nasal cannula). Return resident to usual
oxygen delivery method after the meal. Oxygen inhalation at 2-5 LPM (Liters Per Minute) PRN (As Needed)
related to SOB (Shortness of Breath) and/or respiratory distress.
Facility's policy titled oxygen therapy (9/2022) shows the following: Oxygen therapy may be provided
through various type of supply and delivery systems. Equipment may include the provision of oxygen
through nasal cannulas, trans-tracheal oxygen catheters, oxygen canisters, cylinders or concentrators.
