Review of facility policy Respiratory Therapy dated 1/2/25, indicated the purpose of this procedure is to
guide prevention of infection associated with respiratory therapy tasks and equipment. Change the oxygen
nasal cannula (a medical device that provides supplemental oxygen to patients through two prongs inserted

indicated diagnoses of heart failure (a progressive heart disease that affects pumping action of the heart
muscles), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of progressive lung disorders
characterized by increasing breathlessness), and respiratory failure (occurs when the lungs can not
properly exchange gases). MDS Section O-Special treatments, procedures and program C1 is marked,
indicating oxygen therapy. Section G1 is marked, indicating BiPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure-a
non-invasive ventilation method that uses pressurized air to assist in breathing).
Review of a physician's active orders dated 4/28/25, indicated to administer oxygen at 2 liters per minute
per nasal cannula. Change oxygen tubing every week.
