Nursing (DON) handled a new resident's admission orders including verifying the orders with the physician but floor nurses like herself did the head-to-toe assessments, initial vital signs, fall assessment and wandering assessment. Interview on [DATE] at 11:03 A.M. with the DON revealed she was the facility's DON as of [DATE]. The DON explained orders from the after visit summary from the hospital were reviewed with the physician and then she would put the orders in to the electronic medical record. The DON stated if she did not put in the orders, other administrative nurses would do so for a new admission. The DON indicated ancillary orders, such as oxygen, were handled in the same way. The DON was asked about Resident #43's oxygen orders from the hospital on [DATE] and at the facility on [DATE] during the interview and confirmed the facility's orders for PRN oxygen did not match the continuous rate of oxygen as indicated on Resident #43's hospital paperwork.

PDON #109 explained she verified Resident #43's hospital orders with the physician and the orders were transcribed into the computer and then activated when the resident was in the building. PDON #109 stated she always put oxygen into the electronic medical record as a PRN order as the facility had a standing order for oxygen and would do this unless otherwise indicated in the referral information or other documentation from the hospital. PDON #109 explained unless the nurse had told her about the continuous oxygen after the resident arrived, the order would have been changed over to a continuous rate first thing the next morning after admission.
