**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Resident #36's oxygen tank was
handled appropriately and was not empty while in use. This affected one of three residents observed in the
dining room with a portable oxygen tank in use. The facility census was 48.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #36's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including heart failure, acute respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD),
dysphagia, multiple myeloma, and insomnia. Review of Resident #36's 14-day Minimum Data Set
assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident required limited assistance from one person for bed
mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene.
Review of Resident #36's plan of care dated 05/03/19 revealed the resident had COPD related to smoking.
Interventions included check resident Pulse-oximetery every shift to ensure greater than 90%. Educate
resident on the risk factors of continuing to smoke and encourage resident to quit. Give oxygen therapy as
ordered by the physician. Monitor for difficulty breathing (dyspnea) on exertion. Remind resident not to push
beyond endurance. Monitor for signs and symptoms of acute respiratory insufficiency: anxiety, confusion,
restlessness, shortness of breath at rest, cyanosis, somnolence. Monitor/document/report to physician as
needed any signs and symptoms of respiratory infection: fever, chills, increase in sputum (document the
amount, color and consistency), chest pain, increased difficulty breathing, increased coughing and
wheezing.
Observation on 07/01/19 at 11:55 A.M. revealed Resident #36 seated at a table with a portable oxygen tank
on back of the wheelchair with a nasal cannula hooked to it. The tank gauge was in red and on zero. The
resident was not in respiratory distress. State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #300 was observed getting the
dining room ready for lunch. At 12:10 P.M. the surveyor asked STNA #300 if the tank was empty. STNA
#300 stated the tank was empty, unhooked the nasal cannula and removed the oxygen tank from the
wheelchair. STNA #300 took the empty oxygen tank to the B unit and returned with a new oxygen tank.
STNA #300 hooked up the nasal cannula connecter to the flow meter on the tank, adjusted the flow to three
liter/minute. The surveyor asked STNA #300 to obtain a nurse to check the resident's pulse oxygenation.
Registered Nurse (RN) #303 came to the dining room at 12:12 P.M. and checked the resident pulse
oxygenation which was 92% on three liter of oxygen per minute via a nasal cannula.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 07/02/19 at 2:34 P.M. revealed nursing staff was to ensure
the tank was full and if getting low STNA's were to inform the nurse and the nurse would provide a new
tank to replace the empty tank.
Review of the facility's Care of Oxygen Policy and Procedure (no date) revealed there must be a physician's
order for oxygen use which included the route and liter flow or specific oxygen concentration, and how the
oxygen was to be administered. Only licensed nurses were authorized to set up oxygen administration or
make changes to oxygen administration. Staff members must be instructed to notify the Unit Nurse if the
oxygen canister was low or empty, the resident removed the face mask or cannula or disconnected any of
the tubing. The Unit Nurse must instruct staff members that they must not disconnect any of the oxygen
tubing or change the flow rate of the oxygen.

Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a
resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed
consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure bed rails were only applied for
residents with appropriate consent, assessment, and documentation. This affected one (Resident #43) of
one resident reviewed for restraints. The total census was 48.
Findings include:
Observation of Resident #43 on 07/01/19 at 2:47 revealed he had two quarter-length bedrails pulled up on
each side of his bed.
Record review of Resident #43 revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was identified by the
facility as having severe cognitive impairment, and required supervision for bed mobility and transfers. He
had diagnoses including hallucinations and vascular dementia. The review revealed no evidence of any
orders or care plan for bed rails, no signs of an assessment for risk of entrapment or restraint, no evidence
of informed consent for bed rails, and no mention of their use in the progress notes.
These findings were confirmed with the Director of Nursing on 07/02/19 at 11:37 A.M.

anger with resident; do not argue or condemn resident; do not make unrealistic demands on resident; do
not physically restrain; allow resident to pace where he/she can be observed; document summary of each

authorities were called to the facility to deescalate the behavior. Resident #4 was escorted from the facility
to a receiving hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. As of 07/03/19, Resident #4 had not returned to the
facility.
Further review of Resident #4's nurse's notes, physician progress notes, and telephone orders revealed no
documentation regarding the incident or condition of the resident when the resident left the facility. After the

1:58 P.M.
Interview with the Administrator on 07/02/19 verified the medical record lacked documented evidence of
Resident #4's behavior and ultimate transfer from the facility to the hospital with authorities for a psychiatric
evaluation.
