This affected Resident #22 on two separate occasions. This had the ability to affect all residents. The facility census was 77.Findings include:Review of Resident #22's medical record revealed an admission date of 07/09/25. Diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure.Review of Resident #22's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed she had a low cognitive function. Resident #22 was dependent on staff for activities of daily living.Review of Resident #22's most recent care plan revealed the resident had a behavior problem evidenced by being physically and verbally abusive toward staff and refusing treatments.Review of Resident #22's contact information revealed she was her own responsible party.

Review of Resident #22's Respiratory Therapy (RT) note dated 09/03/25 at 1:00 A.M. revealed the RT entered the resident's room for routine rounding. Resident #22 was on oxygen at six liters and her blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) was 84 percent (%). The RT suctioned the with no improvement in oxygenation as Resident #22's SpO2 continued to drop and the resident exhibited intermittent jerking of the extremities, and was very drowsy. Resident #22 failed to respond to verbal stimuli and had minimal response to physical stimuli. The primary nurse was updated and was asked to come into the room and assess Resident #22. RT continue to suction via in-line catheter, was taken off the ventilator, and suctioned again. The resident's SpO2 dropped to between 74-85% so the decision was made to begin providing manual bag assisted ventilation, the ambu bag was hooked up to an oxygen tank at 15 liters. Resident #22 was bagged, lavaged, and suctioned which produced a large amount of thick cream colored mucus. Resident #22 was placed back on the ventilator as the resident's SpO2 was at 95%, but as soon as the resident was put back on the ventilator the resident's oxygen saturation started to decrease almost immediately so the staff went back to bagging, and called emergency medical services. When emergency medical services arrived, they took over ventilating the resident and transferred the resident to the hospital.Review of Resident #22's progress note dated 09/03/25 revealed the resident was hospitalized for sepsis due to a urinary tract infection. The note was absent of family notification.Review of Resident #22's RT progress note dated 09/07/25 revealed the resident failed to participate with the respiratory care.
