Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who needed respiratory care
was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, the resident's goals and preferences for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #1) reviewed
for respiratory care. 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's humidifier was not empty.2. The facility
failed to ensure the nasal cannula and humidifier were replaced weekly.3. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #1's oxygen maintenance requirements for regular replacement of nasal cannulas and humidifiers
were documented in Resident #1's orders or care plan. These failures could place residents at risk for dry
nasal passages or infection.Findings include: 1. Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated
11/06/2025, indicated Resident #1 was an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Resident #1 had diagnoses which included hypertension (high blood pressure), dementia (decline in
cognitive functioning), and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; inflammation and narrowing of
the airways leading to breathing difficulties). Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS assessment,
dated 10/15/2025, indicated he was understood by others and was able to understand others. Resident #1
had a BIMS score of 03, which indicated he had severe cognitive impairment. Resident #1 received oxygen
while a resident in the facility. Record review of Resident #1's Order Summary Report, dated 11/06/2025,
indicated may have oxygen at 4 liters per nasal cannula every shift with a start date of 07/11/2025, and
check oxygen saturation frequency every shift for hypoxia (inadequate oxygen supply) with a start date of
7/11/2025. There were no other orders related to oxygen administration. Record review of Resident #1's
care plan, with a date initiated of 08/20/2025, indicated he had COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease; inflammation and narrowing of the airways leading to breathing difficulties) and should avoid lying
flat due to shortness of breath. The goal was for the resident to display optimal breathing patterns daily
through the review date. There were no interventions related to regular replacement of the nasal cannula or
the humidifier. During an observation and interview on 11/06/2025 at 10:22 AM, revealed Resident #1 was
in his bed, and he had oxygen via nasal canula on and running. The nasal cannula and the humidifier were
dated 10/26/25. The humidifier was completely empty. Resident #1 was not aware the humidifier was empty
and did not know when it was changed or how frequently. He stated he had no issues related to the
humidifier being empty and had no complaints regarding oxygen administration. During an interview on
11/06/25 at 12:28 p.m., LVN A stated nasal cannulas were to be changed on the night shift weekly and the
humidifiers were to be changed weekly and/or when they were empty. LVN A stated it was the night nurse's
responsibility to change the nasal cannulas and the humidifiers weekly, but any nurse could replace them.
LVN A stated the failure to replace nasal cannulas and humidifiers could cause infection and failure to
replace humidifiers when they were empty could restrict moisture in the tubing and cause the resident to
dry up. During an interview on 11/06/25 at 12:37 p.m., ADON B stated nasal cannulas were to be changed

weekly and the humidifiers were to be changed weekly and/or when they were empty. ADON B stated it
was all the nurses' responsibility to ensure the nasal cannulas were changed weekly and the humidifiers
when they were empty. ADON B stated the failure to replace nasal cannulas and humidifiers could be
infection and the failure to replace humidifiers when they were empty was it could cause the nasal area to
be dry or bleed. During an interview on 11/06/25 at 1:53 p.m., the DON said the nursing staff were
responsible for changing the nasal cannulas and the humidifiers every seven days or as needed. She
stated, the humidifiers should be dated within 7 day look back. If any humidifiers were empty, they should
refill it and date it. The DON stated these failures could cause infection or dry nasal passages. A more
specific policy related to oxygen administration was requested multiple times on 11/06/25, the DON stated
she did not have another policy to provide except for Oral Inhalation Administration, which also did not
provide any related oxygen administration requirements. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Oxygen
Safety, revised January 26th, 2024, indicated no related oxygen administration requirements were included
in this policy.
