Resident 1's diagnoses included acute respiratory failure (a sudden, life-threatening syndrome where the respiratory system fails to properly oxygenate the blood or remove carbon dioxide), sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection), schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought) and type 2 diabetes (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing). Residents Affected - Few During a review of Resident 1's physician orders, dated 12/16/2025, the physician orders indicated Resident 1 was to receive oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula to keep oxygen saturation at 92% or above every shift for shortness of breath. During a review of Resident 1's history and physical (H&P) form, dated 12/17/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to make needs know but not make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 12/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognitive (thinking) skills were moderately impaired. The MDS also indicated Resident 1 was dependent on staff with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). During an observation, on 1/20/2026 at 2:22 p.m., Resident 1 was observed lying in bed with oxygen running at 3 liters per minute via Resident 1's nasal cannula. During an observation, on 1/22/2026 11:58 a.m., with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2), RN 2 stated Resident 1's oxygen was running at 3 liters per minute via nasal canula. During a concurrent interview and record review, on 01/22/2026 12:19 p.m., with Registered Nurse 2 (RN 2), RN 2 stated the protocol for oxygen was to obtain a physician's order and follow the instructions given by the physician. RN 2 stated Resident 1 had a physician order for oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula keep O2 sat above 92%. RN 2 stated Resident 1 should not have received 3 liters of oxygen. RN 2 stated Resident 1 should've been receiving 2 liters as stated in the physician's order. RN 2 stated the risk of administering more oxygen than ordered could result in a decline in a resident breathing status. b. During a review of Resident 23's admission Record (Face sheet), the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 7/17/2024 with diagnoses including pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).

During a review of Resident 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 1/5/2026, the MDS indicated Resident 23 had moderate cognitive (ability to think and understand) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 23 was dependent on staff for toileting and required substantial assistance from staff for bathing and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 23's physician orders dated 1/12/2026 indicated Oxygen at two liters per minute via nasal cannula (medical device used to deliver oxygen to the respiratory system) to keep oxygen saturation at or above 92% every shift for COPD. During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/21/2026 at 1:26 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 4 in Resident 23's room, Resident 23 was observed on four liters of oxygen via nasal cannula. LVN 4 stated Resident 23 should be on two liters of oxygen as per physician orders. LVN 4 stated oxygen should be administered as ordered by physician. LVN 4 stated administering more oxygen than ordered can have a negative effect on residents' respiratory system, and places residents at risk of carbon dioxide and oxygen imbalances. During an interview on 1/23/2026 at 9:30 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff should follow physician orders for oxygen administration because the physicians' assessments of residents and their diagnoses determine orders that are clinically appropriate for the resident. The DON stated residents with COPD are at risk for carbon dioxide retention and decreased breathing drive when receiving oxygen therapy and should not be receiving more oxygen than ordered. During a review of facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled Oxygen Therapy dated 10/10/2025, the P&P indicated, Administer oxygen and obtain oxygen saturation levels as ordered by the provider.

Findings:1.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/20/2026 at 8:20 a.m., with the Dietary Food Supervisor (DSS), found personal water bottle kept at dry storage area.
