Record review of Resident #19 ' s quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 15 (cognitively intact). She needed substantial/maximal assistance to use the toilet. She was occasionally incontinent of bowel or bladder. Her diagnoses included respiratory failure, chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, and dependence on supplemental oxygen. She had shortness of breath with exertion, sitting at rest and when lying flat. She was receiving diuretics (water pills). She was receiving oxygen therapy. Record review of Resident #19 ' s physician ' s order dated 01/13/2021 revealed she was to receive 2 liters of oxygen per minute continuously via a nasal canula to treat shortness of breath. Record review of Resident #19 ' s Care plan dated 01/13/2021 revealed she was to receive continuous oxygen due to Congestive Heart Failure (when the heart can ' t pump enough blood to the body).

She explained that she had to remove the tubing before going to the bathroom, which slowed her down. She said she used to have tubing that was long enough to reach from her bed into the bathroom, but that the tubing was changed out, and the new tubing was too short. She said she felt upset and humiliated when this happened. She said she had asked the nurse to get her longer tubing, but the nurse said they did not have more long tubing. The tubing that was attached to Resident #19 ' s oxygen concentrator was observed to be too short to allow the resident to move from the bed to the bathroom without removing the oxygen tubing. In an interview on 11/14/23 at 09:35 AM, LVN H revealed that Resident #19 could go to the bathroom on her own. The LVN stated Resident #19 was on continuous oxygen. She said Resident #19 ' s long oxygen tubing had been changed to shorter oxygen tubing because the resident had tripped and fallen over the longer tubing. LVN H said Resident#19 had been instructed not to go to the bathroom on her own and to call for help when she needed to use the bathroom. LVN H acknowledged that if the resident followed instructions, she would have to wait for staff response, which could result in Resident #19 urinating in her brief. The LVN said that urinating or soiling herself might result in embarrassment and decreased sense of dignity. The LVN said holding urine too long could cause a urinary tract infection, but that Resident #19 had not had any UTIs. In an interview on 11/14/2023 at 9:40 AM, Resident #19 denied having fallen due to tripping over longer oxygen tubing. Record review of Resident #19 ' s progress notes from 01/17/2023 to 11/16/2023 revealed a note dated 03/04/2023 stating that staff were concerned that the resident might fall due to several factors including a long nasal cannula on the floor. No other notes linking a long cannula to falls was found. In an interview on 11/17/23 at 08:31 AM, CNA C revealed that Resident #19 was able to get out of bed and go to the bathroom by herself. The CNA said the resident had not been incontinent of urine when CNA C was providing care. In an interview on 11/17/23 at 03:36 PM, the DON revealed that the facility carried one length of oxygen tubing. She said this was because the longer tubing could have increased the risk of falls. She said if a resident asked for longer tubing, the request would be honored. The DON said she was not aware that Resident #19 had requested longer oxygen tubing. She did not recall longer oxygen tubing being present in the facility. The facility policy Oxygen Administration dated 10/2010 did not address the length of oxygen tubing to be used.
