was 84.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #83 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including Parkinson's
disease, generalized anxiety disorder, pneumonia and acute respiratory failure with hypoxia.
Review of the electronic Physician Orders dated 07/11/24 revealed Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open during sleep) to be worn at bedtime and continue home
settings.
Review of the hospice Physician Plan of Care dated 10/16/24 revealed physician orders including to start
oxygen via nasal cannula two liters to five liters per minute continuously.
Review of the significant change Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #83
was severely impaired for daily decision-making and was receiving hospice services.
On 12/17/24 at 9:32 A.M., observation revealed Resident #83 was lying in bed. An oxygen concentrator
was observed beneath the window with nasal cannula (oxygen tubing that delivers oxygen through your
nose) laying on the floor. The oxygen tubing was dated 11/09/24. A CPAP machine was observed sitting on
the window sill and the face mask was observed to have speckled black spots on the cushion of the face

residents who need it, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plans and the resident's goals and preferences. Oxygen was to be administered
under orders of a physician and cleaning and care of equipment shall be in accordance with facility policies.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to administer medications
as ordered. This affected two (#50 and #58) of four residents observed for medication administration during

1. Medical record review revealed Resident #50 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease and anxiety.

millimeters of mercury (mmHg). RN #209 went back to the medication cart and dispensed medication into a
medication cup including ASA enteric coated (EC) 81 milligrams. During the medication administration, RN
#209 stated she was not going to administer Isosorbide or Lopressor due to the resident's blood pressure
reading of 108/72 mmHg. RN #209 verified the two medications were not administered despite the
resident's blood pressure exceeding the parameters to withhold the medications.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review and interview, the facility failed to maintain a complete medical record. This affected
one (Resident #85) of three residents sampled. The census was 84.
Findings include:
Closed medical record review revealed Resident #85 was admitted on [DATE] and discharged on 10/31/24.
Review of the closed record revealed a handwritten Physician's Progress Notes dated 10/25/24 by Nurse
Practitioner #210 and Physician's Progress note dated 10/31/24 by Physician #201. The progress note
sheet was not labeled with a resident name, identification number or room number. There was no
identifying information on the Physician's Progress Note sheet to indicate who the note was for.
On 12/18/24 at 2:30 P.M., interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the Physician Progress Note
was in the closed record for Resident #85; however, with no resident information he could not verify what
resident it was for without the physician and nurse practitioner to verify. The DON verified the medical
record was not complete.
This deficiency is an incidental finding discovered during the complaint investigation.
