name and dated for administration to the resident on March 15, March 16, and March 17, 2024. However, a
review of Resident A4's MAR (medication administration record) revealed that staff documented that the
resident had received the supplements on March 15, 2024 and March 16, 2024, and refused the
supplement on March 17, 2024.
A review of Resident A5 clinical record revealed a physician's order dated March 4, 2024 for Glucerna,

An interview conducted with Resident A5 at 11:00 AM on March 26, 2024, revealed that the resident stated
that the facility does not consistently provide the supplement daily, stating that sometimes staff will give it to
her and on other days, they will not.
A review of Resident A6 clinical record revealed a physician's order dated February 15, 2024 for Ensure at
2:00 PM with a straw as nutritional supplement.
An observation of the second floor medication room on March 26, 2024, at 10:00 AM revealed a Boost

2024, as ordered.
Interview with Employee 3, the Dietary Manager, on March 26, 2024, revealed that the dietitian writes the
residents name on the prescribed nutritional supplement with the date they are to be provided to the
resident. She stated that the date on the supplement is the date they should be consumed by the resident.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, review of select facility policy and staff interview it was determined the facility failed
to store and maintain oxygen equipment in a safe, functional and sanitary manner on the second floor
nursing unit and in the general storge area.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
A review of the undated facility policy, provided during the survey ending March 26, 2024, entitled Oxygen
Storage Policy revealed oxygen tanks are to be stored in an area that is well ventilated, dry and away from
sources of heat, open flames or flammable materials. Empty tanks can be stored in a secured medication
room and or treatment room until maintenance and or designee is notified to collect and take the
designated to the storage location.
An observation on March 26, 2024, at 9:30 AM revealed four oxygen cylinders located in the
medication/panty area on the second floor. Two of the cylinders had white plastic caps on the valve posts of
the metal oxygen cylinder to indicate the cylinder was not used or full. The other two cylinders had
regulators (device attached to oxygen tank post used to deliver the oxygen) attached, which indicated they
were used or empty.
Interview with Employee 1, an LPN, on March 26, 2024, at the time of the observation, regarding the
storage location of full clean and used empty tanks, revealed that the nurse stated that she was only per
diem and did not know that answer. When asked where the policy regarding oxygen storage could be
located, she stated she was not sure.
Interview with Employee 2, RN. at 9:37 AM on March 26, 2024, Employee 2 stated that used oxygen tanks
are to be taken outside to the cage where the clean and dirty oxygen cylinders are stored. When asked why
used (dirty) and unused (clean) oxygen tanks were stored together in the medication/pantry she stated the
used tanks should have been taken off the unit but a few new tanks are stored in a carrier in the
medication/pantry for use if needed.
A review of the oxygen storage area on March 26, 2024, at 1:00PM, revealed that the storage area was
located outside of the building in a caged in area against the building, that was accessed by exiting through
the doorway at the end of the facility hallway near the boiler room and the laundry area. The area was
located against the wall to the boiler room. Multiple staff were observed outside this door smoking, while on
break. The smoking area was also located near the caged area.
Multiple oxygen tanks, more than 40 tanks, were stored in this caged in area with signs on the left reading
full and the right side empty. However, both empty and full tanks were observed mixed together, revealing
some used dirty tanks mixed in with the clean tanks that were sealed.
The facility failed to maintain oxygen cylinders in a safe and sanitary manner as evidenced by the storage
of unused clean full tanks with the used/dirty empty tanks and ensuring the storage area was away from
heat sources such as staff smoking area.
