F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that residents, who needed respiratory care, were provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for one of three residents (Resident #11) reviewed for respiratory care. The facility failed to ensure Resident 11's oxygen mask was properly stored in a bag when not in use on 09/11/25. This failure could place the residents at risk for respiratory infection and not having their respiratory needs met.Findings include: Record review of Resident #11's Face Sheet, dated 09/11/25, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included Acute Respiratory Failure (lack of oxygen) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (lung disease). Record review of Resident #11's Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 9/02/25, reflected he had a BIMS score of 12 (moderate cognitive impairment). For ADL care, it reflected the resident required total assistance and it reflected an active diagnosis of cardiorespiratory conditions. Record review of Resident #11's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 3/16/2025, reflected the resident had COPD and one of the interventions was to provide oxygen therapy to the resident as needed. Record Review of Resident #11's Physician Orders, dated 9/11/25, reflected Ipratropium-Albuterol Inhalation Solution 0.5-2.5 MG/3ML inhale orallyevery 12 hours as needed for Bronchi muscle spasm resulting from COPD An observation on 09/11/25 at 12:43 PM, revealed Resident #11's oxygen mask unbagged, sitting on the top of a three-drawer chest. In an interview and observation on 09/11/25 at 12:45 PM, RN M stated Resident #11 used his oxygen device on an as needed basis. She stated she did not know when the last time he had used the device. She stated when the breathing device was not in use, the breathing mask should be stored in a plastic bag to avoid an infection. She stated she would discard the mask and get the resident a new one. In an interview on 09/11/25 at 12:59 PM with ADON L, she stated Resident #11 did have a device for breathing treatments on an as needed basis. She was advised of Resident #11 not having his mask bagged and she stated that the mask should be removed or bagged when not in use to avoid an infection. In an interview on 09/11/25 at 4:12 PM, the DON stated he had been at the facility for seven months. He was advised of Resident #11 being observed with an oxygen mask, unbagged while not in use. He stated he expected staff to remove the mask and then replace with a new one if needed or the mask should be bagged to avoid the resident getting an infection. Review of the facility's policy Oxygen Administration, undated, reflected Oxygen therapy includes the administration of oxygen (O2) in liters/minute by cannula or face mask to treat hypoxic conditions caused by pulmonary or cardiac diseases. The resident will maintain oxygenation with safe and effective delivery of prescribed oxygen. The resident will be free from infection.
