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.

F 0695 - 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.
