This failure had the potential for Resident 40 to be exposed to chemical poisoning or chemical burn if the substance was ingested or mistakenly taken. Findings: On April 16, 2025, at 12:57 p.m., during an interview with Resident 40's Family Member (FM), she stated, on April 15, 2025, at 11 a.m., she found a white cup containing a pink solution with a brush inside, placed on the bedside table near Resident 40's drinking cup.

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 observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the policy and procedures for oxygen use for two of two sampled residents (Resident 17 and 70) when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Resident 70 was observed receiving continuous oxygen at an incorrect flow rate, without proper documentation or assessment; and 2. Resident 17 had an unlabeled nasal cannula (oxygen tubing - a device that delivers oxygen). These failures had the potential to result in unnecessary or unsafe oxygen administration and increased risk of infection for Residents 17 and 70. Findings: 1. On April 14, 2025, at 2:21 p.m., a concurrent observation and interview was conducted for Resident 70. Resident 70 was alert, oriented and able to verbalize his needs. Resident 70 was observed with oxygen on at six liters per minute (a unit of measure) via nasal cannula. Resident 70 stated he had been on oxygen since the early morning. On April 14, 2025, Resident 70's record was reviewed. Resident 70 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnosis which included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD -a lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe). A review of Resident 70's physicians order dated April 1, 2025, indicated, .Oxygen: at 2-4 L/Min (liters per minute) via NC (nasal cannula) PRN (as needed) to keep O2 sats (oxygen saturation) greater then 90% as needed .

RN 1 stated, if there is a physician's order for oxygen, the correct amount should be monitored and maintained. RN 1 stated, staff should report any changes in a resident's condition. RN 1 stated, giving more oxygen than ordered could lead to adverse effects, such as over-oxygenation. On April 17, 2025, at 9:20 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON).

The DON stated, Resident 70 should not have been on six liters of oxygen and should have been receiving oxygen at the rate between two and four liters as needed. The DON further stated, providing too much oxygen could worsen the resident's breathing. A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Oxygen Administration, dated 2001, indicated, .Before administering oxygen, and while the resident is receiving oxygen therapy, assess for the following .signs or symptoms of oxygen toxicity .tracheal irritation, difficulty breathing, or slow, shallow rate of breathing .adjust the oxygen delivery device so that it is comfortable for the resident and the proper flow of oxygen is being administered .observe the resident upon setup and periodically thereafter to be sure oxygen is being tolerated .documentation .the rate of oxygen flow, route, and rationale .the frequency and duration of the treatment . 2. During an observation on April 13, 2025 at 9:45 a.m., Resident 17 was observed in bed using oxygen via nasal cannula at two liters per minute. The nasal cannula tubing was unlabeled. On April 13, 2025 at 9:45 a.m. during a concurrent observation and interview with RN Supervisor (RN) 2, RN 2 acknowledged and stated Resident 17's nasal cannula tubing was not labeled with the date and it should have been. RN 2 further stated there is a risk of infection if oxygen tubing was unlabeled.

This failure had the potential to result in inaccurate readings of the sanitizing solution, which could lead to cross-contamination. Findings: On April 15, 2025, at 10:23 a.m., during an observation of a Dietary Aide (DA) testing the sanitizing solution in the three-compartment sink, the DA was observed dipping the Quat strip into the sanitizing solution for four seconds before comparing the strip to the color comparator chart. A review of the Directions for use Quat-10 Testing Paper indicated .Dip paper for 10 seconds then compare to colors on test strip package . During a concurrent interview with the DA, he stated he should have waited for 10 seconds before comparing the test strip to the color chart. The DA stated, failing to follow the correct procedure could result in inaccurate readings, leading to ineffective sanitization, and increasing the risk for food borne illness (stomach illness acquired from ingesting contaminated food) as well as compromised cleanliness of kitchen surfaces and utensils.
