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, was provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the
comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for three (Resident #1,
Resident #2, and Resident #3) of eight residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's nasal cannula nasal cannula (flexible tube used to deliver
oxygen to the nose through two prongs) was stored properly.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's nasal cannula and humidifier were changed weekly.
3. The facility failed to ensure there was an Oxygen in Use sign outside Resident #1's door.
4. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2's nasal cannula was stored properly.
5. The facility failed to ensure Resident #3's mask for BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure - normalizes
breathing by delivering pressurized air into the upper airway leading into the lungs) was cleaned and stored
properly.
These failures could place the residents at risk for respiratory infection and not having their respiratory
needs met.
Findings included:
Resident #1

Review of Resident 1's Physician Order, dated 05/22/2024, reflected Oxygen: O2 tubing and water bottle q
Sunday night every night shift every Sun weekly.
Residents Affected - Some
Observation and interview with Resident #1 on 05/22/2024 at 7:38 AM, revealed Resident #1 was on his
bed awake. Resident #1 had an oxygen concentrator at bedside. One end of the nasal cannula was
attached to the oxygen concentrator while the other end was coiled on the grab bars of the resident's bed. It
was also observed that the date of the nasal cannula and the humidifier were dated 05/12/2024. Resident
#1 stated he was on oxygen because he had respiratory issues but said he used oxygen at night most of
the time. He said he was not aware if the nurses were changing his nasal cannula and the bottle with water.
The resident also said he never saw a plastic bag for the nasal cannula. It was also noted that there was no
Oxygen in Use outside the resident's door.
Observation and interview with the ADON on 05/22/2024 at 10:25 AM, the ADON stated there should be an
Oxygen in Use sign outside the door of the residents who were on oxygen therapy to make sure
appropriate precautions were followed. She said which ever staff that received the order for oxygen use
should had put the sign outside the door. She also acknowledged that the nasal cannula was not bagged.
She said it should be bagged when not in use to prevent contamination. The ADON looked for the bag
behind the concentrator and inside the drawer of the bedside table and said there was no bag available.
The ADON then checked the dates on the tubing of the nasal cannula and on the humidifier. She said both
were dated 05/12/2024 and said the date should be 05/19/2024. She said the nasal cannula and the
humidifier should be changed weekly to prevent infection and not to compromise the resident's breathing
pattern. She said the expectation was for the staff to make sure the nasal cannula was bagged when not in
use and to change the nasal cannula and the humidifier weekly and to put a date on it. The ADON
disconnected the nasal cannula and the humidifier and said she would change them. She said she would
also get an Oxygen in Use sign and place it outside the door.
Resident #2
Review of Resident #2's Face Sheet, dated 05/23/2024, reflected that the resident was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. One of the relevant diagnoses was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a
chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs) .
Review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 05/04/2024, reflected that Resident #2 was
cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 14. The Quarterly MDS also indicated that the resident was on
oxygen therapy.
Review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan dated 05/21/2024 reflected resident had oxygen
therapy at 2 liter per minute (prn) via nasal cannula for SOB one of the interventions was OXYGEN
SETTINGS: O2 via nasal cannula @ 2 LPM (prn).
Review of Resident #2's Physician Order dated 10/25/2023 reflected, O2 @ 2L/Min via NC PRN to maintain
O2 sats > 90% every shift.
Observation and interview with Resident #2 on 05/22/2024 at 9:02 AM, revealed Resident #2 was in her
wheelchair. It was noted that she had a nasal cannula attached to an oxygen concentrator. The prongs of
the nasal cannula were on the bed. The nasal cannula was not bagged. She stated she only used her
oxygen at night. She said the staff never gave her a bag for the nasal cannula. She said she was

be bagged so it will not be dirty.
Resident #3
Review of Resident #3's Face Sheet, dated 05/21/2024, reflected that the resident was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. One of the relevant diagnoses was sleep apnea (a sleep disorder where
breathing is interrupted repeatedly during sleep).
Review of Resident #3's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 05/04/2024, reflected that Resident #3 had
moderate impairment in cognition with a BIMS score of 09. The Quarterly MDS also indicated that the
resident was on BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure - normalizes breathing by delivering pressurized air
into the upper airway leading into the lungs).
Review of Resident #3's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 03/14/2024, reflected resident had altered
respiratory status/difficulty breathing r/t Sleep Apnea and was on BIPAP as ordered ON Q HS AND OFF IN
AM.
Review of Resident #3's Physician Order dated 10/16/2023 reflected, BIPAP ON Q HS OFF AT AM at
bedtime related to SLEEP APNEA.
Observation and interview with Resident #3 on 05/22/2024 at 9:10 AM, revealed Resident #3 was awake. It
was noted that there was a BiPAP machine on top of the resident's side table with its connecting tube
inside the drawer of the side table. A BiPAP mask was connected to the tube, the mask was not bagged.
The mask also had three small and hard white substance She stated she used her BiPAP at night but
sometimes she would refuse to wear it because it was so noisy. She said the staff would put it on and take
it off. She said she was not aware if the staff would put it on a bag after taking it off.
Observation and interview with RN A on 05/22/2024 at 10:17 AM, RN A stated the resident used a BiPAP
at night. RN A opened the drawer and acknowledged the BiPAP mask was not bagged. She also saw the
plague on the BiPAP mask of the resident. She stated it should be bagged to prevent contamination and
potential infection. She said she would clean the mask and then put it in a plastic bag. She said she would
check if there was a new mask and would replace the BiPAP mask.
In an interview with the Administrator on 05/022/24 at 10:55 AM, the Administrator stated the humidifier and
the nasal cannula should be changed every week as per order. She added the mask for the BiPAP should
be bagged as well. The Administrator said not bagging the nasal cannula and the BiPAP mask could lead to
contamination and infection. She said the nasal cannula and the humidifier were changed weekly to prevent
the growth of microorganism that could compromise the lungs of the residents. She said there should be an
Oxygen in Use sign outside the room of the residents using oxygen to prevent any incident of fire. She said
the expectation was for the staff to change the humidifier and the nasal cannula weekly and to bag the
nasal cannula and the BiPAP mask. She concluded that they would do an in-service about respiratory care
to remind them to change the humidifier and the nasal cannula weekly and to put the nasal cannula and the
BiPAP mask in a bag when not in use.
In an interview with the DON on 05/22/24 at 11:40 AM, the DON stated the humidifier and the nasal
cannula should be changed weekly because the moisture in the humidifier and the nasal cannula were
susceptible for mold growth. She said the nasal cannula and the mask should be bagged when not in use

to prevent contact with dirty surfaces. She added the mask should be cleaned before putting it inside the
plastic bag. She also said there should be sign outside the door for oxygen use as a precautionary
measure. She said the sign was to remind the staff and the visitors that oxygen was being used in the
building and any minimal spark could cause fire and explosion. The DON said all the staff were equally
responsible in checking if the humidifier and the nasal cannula were changed weekly and if the nasal
cannula and the mask were bagged when not in use. She said the expectation was for the staff to bag the
BiPAP mask and the nasal cannula and to change the nasal cannula and the humidifier weekly. She also
said another expectation would be a sign would be placed outside the door for oxygen use. She said they
would do an in-service about respiratory care with the nurses and the CNAs.
