F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to assess and verify the resident's history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA - person's breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blocked airway) and coordinate necessary CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure - a machined use to treat OSA) treatment with the physician, for one of five sampled residents (Resident A).This failure had the potential to result in untreated sleep apnea for Resident A, placing the resident at risk for respiratory complications, hypoxia (low oxygen), and sleep disruption. Findings:On July 7, 2025, at 10:18 a.m., an unannounced visit to the facility was conducted to investigate a quality-of-care issue.On July 7, 2025, at 4:28 p.m., during an interview with Resident A, Resident A stated she had been on CPAP for 20 years and last used it the day before she was admitted to the facility. Resident A stated she was not allowed to use her CPAP machine in the facility. Resident A stated she sleeps almost always in a sitting position and had told the social services and nurses about it.A review of Resident A's record indicated, Resident A was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a long-term progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe) and atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm).A review of Resident A's hospital records dated May 24, 2024, indicated, .Past medical history .Morbid obesity (extremely overweight), OSA on CPAP .Further review of Resident A's record indicated there was no documentation that a CPAP machine was provided, nor any documentation verifying the resident's continued need for CPAP therapy. On July 10, 2025, at 4:15 p.m., during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated there was no documented diagnosis of sleep apnea, no care plan addressing sleep apnea, and Resident A was not placed on a CPAP machine. The DON further stated that according to the resident the CPAP machine was broken prior to admission.On July 22, 2025, at 5:50 a.m., during an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated she worked the night shift from 10:30 pm to 6:30 a.m. and was familiar with Resident A. LVN 1 stated, she had observed Resident A sleeping at times lying on her side and at other times sitting up in bed. On July 22, 2025, at 8:56 a.m., during a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's hospital records dated May 24, 2024, with the MDS Nurse, the MDSN stated during assessment, he reviews a resident's hospital records, including clinical and past medical history. The MDSN stated, Resident A's diagnosis of OSA was missed during the comprehensive assessment. The MDSN stated whoever is involved in the care of the resident should be responsible for the medical history of the resident. The MDSN stated, the diagnoses of sleep apnea should have been verified with the physician to determine if the diagnoses was active and that the resident should have been asked about current CPAP use. The MDSN stated this had the potential to affect the resident's overall respiratory condition.On July 23, 2025, at 2:48 p.m., during an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON stated if there was a medical history of obstructive sleep apnea, it should have been included in the development of baseline care plan.
