Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #2's physician orders, dated 05/03/2024, revealed Oxygen: Change Mask, O2
tubing, water bottle, and clean concentrator filter every night shift every Sun for SOB related to CHRONIC
OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE.
Observation on 04/25/2024 at 3:47 PM revealed Resident #1 was observed in her room sitting in a recliner
with blanket on and O2 on via nasal cannula. The concentrator was running at 2.5 LPM and the tubing and
humidifier were undated. A CPAP machine was on the table next to the bed. No storage bag for tubing was
observed near the CPAP or concentrator.
Observation on 04/25/2024 at 4:20 PM revealed contact isolation signage posted on Resident #2's door.
Resident #2 was lying in bed. A concentrator was near the bed, turned off, with O2 tubing lying on the floor
and not stored in a bag. The humidifier and tubing were undated.
Interview on 04/25/2024 at approximately 4:20 PM, CNA A stated the tubing and humidifier should be
dated and thought it should have been changed on Sunday. She stated dating allows them to know when it
was last changed. CNA A stated when the tubing was not in use it should be kept in a bag to keep it clean,
and so it will not be contaminated.
Interview on 04/25/2024 at 4:31 PM, LVN B stated tubing should be in a bag to keep it clean and should be
dated to see how old it was. She stated the tubing was to be changed every week on the night shift on
Sunday evening. LVN B stated if tubing was not stored properly, it could collect dust particles and be
contaminated.
Interview on 04/25/2024 at 4:49 PM, the ADON stated her expectation was that O2 tubing be changed
every Sunday with a fresh bag by night shift. She stated staff should also change out the water bottle and
the filter. The ADON stated the end of the tubing, and the humidifier should be dated. She said this was
done to keep the tubing clean and sanitary. She stated the nurses were responsible and she was
responsible to ensure the policy was followed.
Interview on 04/25/2024 at 5:30 PM, the Operations Manager stated his expectations were for staff to know
and follow the Oxygen policy. He stated ultimately, he was responsible to ensure staff followed facility policy.
He stated the risk could be germs.
He stated the DON and the ADON usually spot check those tanks and ensure they were following
regulation. He stated he had met with the clinical team to begin staff in-services to ensure if they see
something not labeled then they were to alert one of the clinical team.
