She stated that the proper oxygen flow level for a non-rebreather mask should be 5-10 LPM. She stated that she could not recall an interview with LVN A after the incident. She stated that she was not sure what type of oxygen supplies he used based on the note in the chart. She stated that she does look over the documentation and perform interviews, as needed, for discharges, but does not document those investigations unless there was a concern. She stated she had no additional investigation documentation for this event. She stated the EMS station was just around the corner and she knew that he was picked up very quickly. She stated that without effective oxygenation equipment and care a resident in respiratory distress would continue to decline. Observation on [DATE] at 09:02 AM of staff demonstration of the use of non-rebreather oxygen mask with LVN C and ADON revealed LVN C set the oxygen tank to 4 LPM with the non-rebreather mask and applied to ADON with the bag not inflated. She stated that she thought that residents with chronic lung conditions might be harmed by too high of a flow rate. She then stated that she may be wrong about the flow rate for chronic lung conditions and that during an emergency where a resident is in active respiratory distress, the oxygen flow rate should be turned up all the way. She stated that she had her BLS certification and had received respiratory skills training about a month prior. She stated that she does not use a non-rebreather mask often. ADON at that time stated she would use a non-rebreather with a starting flow rate of 10-15 LPM and make sure the bag was inflated prior to placing it on a resident. In an interview on [DATE] at 9:55AM, LVN A stated that he went back to look at the progress note he wrote about the incident. He stated that he must have used a nasal cannula rather than a non-rebreather mask for Resident #1 on [DATE]. He stated that a nasal cannula is not ideal for the situation, but that was what he grabbed first. He stated that he should have used a non-rebreather on high flow rate. He stated that the bag should inflate when the oxygen is turned on and prior to placing on the resident. He stated that the DON had in-serviced him on the use of a non-rebreather mask and emergency respiratory care that morning. He stated that he was BLS certified. He stated that he had attended a respiratory training about a month ago. He stated that there was a demonstration portion to the BLS course he attended. He stated that the potential impact to the resident of using the wrong oxygenation device or using the device improperly were that they could continue to decline. In an interview on [DATE] at 9:56AM, the ADON stated that she had BLS certification. She stated a NRB should be used with 10-15 LPM of oxygen and the bag on the mask should be filled when it is placed on the resident. In an interview on [DATE] at 09:58AM, the DON stated there was a skills demonstration component of the BLS class. She stated that the class is provided for nursing at the facility. She stated that given the status of Resident #1 at the time of the incident, from the documentation and interviews with staff, that a non-breather mask would have been the best choice, given his oxygen saturations were in the range of 50% when oxygen was started. In an interview on [DATE] at 10:04AM, the RNC stated during an emergency involving respiratory distress she expected the nurses to assess the residents and send them out. She stated that a non-rebreather mask would be the best choice for a resident in respiratory distress with low oxygen levels. She stated that you turn the oxygen flow rate to 10 or more liters and place the mask on the patient. She stated that the mask will fill on its own with the oxygen on and should be full during its use. She stated that the mask does not work if the bag is not full of oxygen to her knowledge.

She stated that if we do not provide effective oxygenation supplementation to residents in distress that the distress could continue. The facility's policy regarding seizure care or emergency care was requested. RNC stated that there was not a policy for seizure care or emergency care other than the facility policy for Notification of Physician for Change in Condition. In an interview on [DATE] at 11:05AM, the ADMIN stated his expectation regarding emergency care was that staff respond as quick as possible to get the resident the level of care needed. He stated that he expected nurses to follow the CPR training certification guidelines regarding care for respiratory distress. In a telephone interview on [DATE] at 11:40AM, the NP stated for the correct use of a non-rebreather mask the oxygen flow rate should be set to 10-15 LPM and the bag should be full. She stated that she would use a nasal cannula for a resident in respiratory distress if that was all she had, but standards of practice would indicate a non-rebreather mask should be used for respiratory distress. She stated that the resident could continue to decline if adequate oxygen was not provided during respiratory distress episodes. She stated she has confidence in the nurses at the facility and is informed well of care. She stated that the priority for Resident #1 in the situation on [DATE] was to be transferred to a higher level of care and that was done. She stated that the respiratory decline that occurred in hospital was unlikely to be related to the brief care the facility provided during the emergency. She stated that the resident was being treated for a respiratory infection at the time of the incident. She stated that it was normal to have a drop in oxygenation after a seizure. Record review of facility policy on [DATE] at 11:25AM for Notifying the Physician of Change in Status (no date) reflected that the policy does not give any indication of steps of care for a resident in an emergency situation or during respiratory distress.
