it the day before. LVN E said she did not know why the bottle was empty. LVN E said it was her
responsibility to check the oxygen concentrator while making rounds during her shift to verify there was
water and said she must have overlooked the bottle today.
During an interview on 08/08/2024 at 2:44 p.m., the DON said the purpose of the oxygen concentrator
humidifier was to humidify the oxygen going into the nose of the resident. The DON said she was not sure
