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 ensure that a resident who needs respiratory
care was provided with such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for 5 of 5 residents (Resident #1, #3,
#5, #7, #9) reviewed for respiratory care.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1, #3, #5, #7, and #9's oxygen tubing was labeled and dated.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1, #3, and #9's CPAP tubing were dated and properly stored when
they weren't in use.
These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving proper delivery of oxygen, cross contamination,
respiratory compromise and/or infection and residents not having their respiratory needs met.
