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 for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #1) who
needed respiratory care was provided care consistent with professional standards of practice reviewed for
respiratory care, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #1 was observed to be administered oxygen PRN, but nurses did not document the times PRN
oxygen was given .
LVN D reported Resident #1's oxygen dipping low at times but did not document change of conditions and
times in which PRN oxygen was needed.
This failure placed Resident #1 at risk of not receiving adequate respiratory care.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted into the
facility on [DATE] and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, shortness of breath, epilepsy, dementia and
muscle wasting atrophy.
Observations on 04/09/2024 at 10:34AM, revealed Resident #1 lying in bed with her nasal cannula on
receiving oxygen from her oxygen concentrator set on 2L/min. The humidifier attached was labeled with
date 04/07/24. Resident was observed have unlabored breathing.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive MDS, dated [DATE], revealed the resident was not noted to
have oxygen therapy while a resident.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, not dated, revealed the resident was at risk for shortness of
breath and coughing up yellow phlegm due to acute diagnosis of acute bronchitis, resolved 05/05/2021
status post COVID and intervention listed included to administer oxygen as ordered.
Record review of Resident #1's vital signs revealed from 03/29/2024 - 04/10/2024, the resident was
documented to have O2 sat% of at least 95% or above.
Record review of Resident #1's physician's orders revealed the resident had an order to:

-
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Check humidifier and change PRN when water level is low, starting 10/13/2022.
-
Residents Affected - Few
Administer Oxygen at 2-4L/minute via nasal cannula or mask PRN for SOB/Cyanosis, starting 10/13/2022.
Check humidifier and change PRN when water level is low, starting 10/19/2022.
Record review of Resident #1's Nurse MAR from March - April 2024 revealed the resident was not
documented to have received any PRN oxygen.
In an interview with MDS Nurse on 04/11/24 at 03:09 PM, she stated Resident used the oxygen PRN in the
past but referred to recent documentation in MAR/TAR or notes to see if the oxygen was administered. She
said it was sometimes missed by the nurses to document when the oxygen therapy was used, and she
likely did not mark the resident's MDS for oxygen therapy use because of that reason. She stated her
recent observations of Resident #1 revealed the resident was not receiving oxygen.
In an interview with LVN A on 04/11/24 at 03:27PM, she stated since she had been working with Resident
#1 for the past 2-3 months and she had been administering oxygen to the resident as needed while she
was in bed. She stated the oxygen was not needed by the resident at all times, but periodically, when
checking her oxygen saturation levels, and she found her oxygen was low she put the resident on oxygen,
so it was important for staff to know the necessity of oxygen therapy for the resident. LVN A refused to
specify how low her oxygen got. When asked what the risk of not documenting use of oxygen was, she did
not answer the question, but instead stated she knew it was important to document oxygen-use, but she
just forgot to do so.
In an interview with the DON on 04/11/24 at 04:00PM, she stated it was important for nurses document use
of oxygen in the nurses notes to show continuity of care and for accuracy of assessments related to
necessity of oxygen therapy. She stated if the nurse noticed the resident was having any shortness of
breath, dip in oxygen saturation or a change of condition, details should have been noted in the nurses'
notes. She stated she also did not believe the MAR was the best place to document oxygen administration
use because of lack of ability to distinguish at what times that oxygen was in use.
In an interview with the DON on 04/11/2024 at 4:45PM, she stated she had to retrain LVN A today on
documenting a change of condition and reporting to the physician, because after interview with surveyor,
she learned from LVN that Resident #1's oxygen dipped below 90% but did not yet document it because
LVN A was swamped with other issues involving other residents.
The facility's policy on 04/11/2024 at 3:48PM, was requested by the surveyor to the Administrator per email
but was not provided prior to exit.
