Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure the supplemental O2 was provided at the physician ordered liter amount for Resident #8. This failure could place residents who received oxygen therapy at risk of receiving an incorrect amount of oxygen and the risk of oxygen toxicity. Findings Included: Record review of Resident #8's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She had a BIMS of 6 which indicated she was severely cognitively impaired. Her diagnoses included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (causes airflow blockage and breathing related problems) and pressure ulcer of sacral region. Resident #8 had not received Oxygen therapy in the last 14 days according to the assessment.

LVN A stated Resident # 8 had been on continuous O2 at 3 to 4 liters for several weeks. She stated she was not aware the orders had not been updated and stated she should have been verifying orders prior to administering any oxygen. She stated it should also have documented in the TAR.

In an interview with the DON on 08/16/23 at 01:10 p.m. revealed any resident who required oxygen had to have an order from the physician which stated the number of liters to be delivered. She stated it was a requirement the physician determine how much supplemental oxygen someone needed and was not a nurse's judgement.
