This failure could place residents who receive oxygen at an increased risk for hypercapnia (too much
carbon dioxide in the blood), pulmonary oxygen toxicity (damage to the lung lining tissues and air sacs),
hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood, decreasing the oxygen supply to vital organs), and shortness
of breath.
Findings Included:
Record review of Resident #24's admission record dated 02/04/25 revealed an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included, but were not limited to, acute and chronic
respiratory failure (failure of lungs to provide oxygen), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with (acute)
exacerbation (inflammation of lung tissue due to non-infectious causes, which results in cough without
mucus or phlegm, shortness of breath, and fatigue), and heart failure (heart muscle fails to pump blood as
it should).
Record review of Resident #24's quarterly MDS completed on 10/30/24 revealed the following:
Section C: Resident #24 had a BIMS score of 14 which indicated intact cognition.

the entries Resident #24 was receiving oxygen at lower rates than the 4 lpm ordered. In one of the entries
Resident #24 was receiving oxygen at a higher rate than the 4 lpm ordered.
During an observation and interview on 02/04/25 at 10:33 AM Resident #24 was in her room, seated in her
wheelchair, receiving O2 via NC at 5 lpm. She stated she had been on O2 for over a year. When asked if
she moved the dial to adjust the flow rate of the O2 she stated the nurses set the flow rate and she did not
touch the dial. She stated her oxygen was supposed to be set at 3 lpm.
