labeled Atrovent HFA (medication that relaxes muscles in the airways, 17 mcg (microgram -unit of
measure) was observed inside Resident 62's bedside table drawer. Resident 62 stated the inhaler was
brought from home to use as a back-up when going outside the facility to smoke.
During an interview on 2/19/25 at 9:48 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN2), LN2 stated not being aware of the
presence of the inhaler in Resident 62's drawer. LN 2 further stated Resident 62 did not have approval from
the physician and the IDT team to self-administer own medications.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Administering Medications, dated April
2019, the P&P, indicated in part, Residents may self-administer their own medications only if the attending
physician, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary care planning team, has determined that they have the
decision-making capacity to do so safely.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure medical records for three out of 23
residents (Resident 17, 37, 94) accurately documented POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining
Treatment (gives instructions for care in life-threatening medical situations) information in the electronic
medical record (EMR) when:
1. Resident 94's POLST did not match the electronic health record.
2. Resident 37's POLST did not match the electronic health record.
3. Resident 17's POLST did not match the electronic health record.
These failures had the potential to result in Residents 17, 37, and 94 not receiving their desired preferences
for end of life care.
1. During a review of Resident 's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, Resident 94 is a [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis of chronic respiratory failure with hypercapnia (inadequate
breathing) and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - lung condition caused by inflammation that
limits airflow into and out of the lungs).
During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 2:45 p.m. with licensed nurse (LN) 2,
Resident 94's POLST dated [DATE] was reviewed. The POLST indicated, do not attempt resuscitation
(DNR - means a person has decided not to have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) attempted on them if
their heart or breathing stops). Review of Resident 94's EMR indicated a physician order dated [DATE] for
FULL CODE (medical term used to indicate patient's preference for all possible life saving measures to be
taken in the event of a cardiac or respiratory arrest). LN 2 acknowledged the EMR did not accurately match
POLST did not match and stated, the EMR should have been updated to reflect DNR status when the

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 maintain infection control practices when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Respiratory care equipment was not stored in a manner to prevent cross contamination (accidently
transferring harmful bacteria) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 62).
2. Nasal cannula tubing (a small plastic tube, which fits into the person's nostrils for providing supplemental
oxygen) was not labeled and dated for three of six sampled residents (Resident 12, Resident 70 and
Resident 89).
These facility failures had the potential to result in cross-contamination (the transfer of harmful bacteria)
that could impact residents' health and safety and cause preventable HAIs (Healthcare Associated
Infections) for residents in an already compromised condition.
Findings:
1. During review of Resident 62's admission Record (AD), the AD indicated Resident 62 was admitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses that include hypertensive heart disease with heart failure (high blood pressure that
causes blood to move less effectively, increasing the pressure in the heart, and making it harder for the
heart to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a
chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing), and dependence on supplemental oxygen.
During an observation on 2/18/25 at 11:44 a.m. in Resident 62's room, a nebulizer (a device that converts
liquid medication into a fine mist, allowing it to be inhaled directly into the lungs) with attached T-piece (a
small, T-shaped mouthpiece that fits into a nebulizer) and tubing were observed on top of a nightstand
exposed and not covered.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/18/25 at 12:32 p.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN2), in
Resident 62's room, the nebulizer T-piece and tubing were observed in the same placement as observed
prior. LN2 acknowledged the nebulizer T-piece, and the tubing were exposed and not covered. LN2 stated
not being aware the T-piece, and tubing had to be covered or enclosed.
During an interview on 02/19/25 at 10:10 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN5), LN5 stated that the nebulizer
tubing and mask must be stored in black antimicrobial bag when not in use. Additionally, LN5 said oxygen
tubing is changed out every 7 days or sooner as needed and the tubing must be labeled with the date it
was changed.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Administering Medications through a
Small Volume (Handheld) Nebulizer, dated October 2010 was reviewed. The P&P indicated in part, When
treatment is complete, turn off nebulizer and disconnect T-piece, mouthpiece and medication cup .When
equipment is completely dry, store in a plastic bag with the resident's name and the date on it.
2. a. During review of Resident 12's admission Record (AD), the AD indicated Resident 12 was admitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses that include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a chronic lung disease
causing difficulty in breathing).
