Residents Affected - Few Observation and interview on 12/6/023 at 08:48 AM revealed resident #6 stated that she wanted to be back on oxygen and appeared to be little uncomfortable and gasping for breath. Observed O2 NC tubing was fallen on the side of the bed touching the floor. Observation on 12/06/23 at 08:50 AM revealed that Agency LVN H was called for helping resident #6 with Oxygen delivery. Agency LVN H changed the Oxygen tubing, refilled the humidifier bottle with water and reinserted the nasal cannula prongs at Resident #6 face. Interview with CNA E on 12/6/2023 at 09:10 AM revealed that resident #6 often takes off her nasal cannula from the face multiple times a day. She revealed whenever she sees the resident #6 has taken off her nasal cannula, she will try to put it back on her. She revealed this behavior should be care planned and reported that the Floor nurses are aware of resident #6's behavior. She was not sure if ADON and DON were aware of resident # 6's behavior of taking off Nasal cannula by herself. Interview with Agency LVN H on 12/06/23 at 09:20 AM revealed that he was an Agency LVN (he did not work at the facility full time; was hired through a nursing agency to work that shift ) but was familiar with care of Resident #6. He had worked the Hall Resident # 6 was placed couple of times in the past. He revealed that resident # 6 took off her oxygen tubing by herself many times in the past and if any staff saw that she had taken it off, they would help put the NC prongs back on resident#6 face. He also stated that the staff redirected her if she took off her NC tubing. He also noted that Resident's removal of Nasal cannula by herself should be care planned. If care planning was not done, it can lead to decrease in resident's quality of care.

In an interview with CNA D on 12/06/23 at 09:45 AM revealed that she has worked in the facility for more than a month. She stated that she was familiar with Resident # 6's care.

She also stated that the staff will put on the nasal cannula back if she has taken it off and there were no specific rounding times, but she rounds when they are providing ADL care. She does not look at the Care plans but thinks resident's behavior should be care planned. Observation on 12/7/2023 at 07:55 AM revealed resident #6 was sleeping without Nasal cannula attached to her nose. The tubing was observed at the side of the bed. In an interview with LVN G on 12/07/23 at 03:21 PM revealed that if there was significant changes or behaviors that are not consistent with physician orders, it needs to be care planned. The risk for not care planning was not knowing what the interventions were and can lead to deficient care in resident's care. Care planning helps with understanding what was involved in resident's care and interventions associated with it. Interview with MDS RN on 12/06/23 at 01:18 PM revealed all change in conditions that include significant weight loss or respiratory care including external Oxygen delivery should be care planned for resident so that the staff was aware about interventions.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few staff was not aware of resident#6 being non-compliant of O2 orders until today. The risk of not documenting care plans appropriately or not being resident specific may result in decreased quality of care for the resident. Interview with ADON on 12/6/2023 at 01:30 PM revealed she was not aware that resident #6 took off her nasal cannula by herself and hence it was not documented in the care plan. In an interview with Agency LVN I on 12/06/23 at 2:40 PM said he was not familiar with resident's #6 care. He did not get anything in the report about resident#6 takes off her Nasal cannula tubing by herself. He said he saw an order from 12/6 about checking O2 levels every shift. He was not sure if Respiratory care/ resident behavior was care planned. He reported care planning was important because if it was not care planned, staff will not know what to do and can affect quality of care for resident. Resident #235 Record Review of Resident #235 MDS dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #235 was a [AGE] year-old Male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Medically complex condition including aphasia (loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage), gastrostomy status (a surgical procedure used to insert a tube, often referred to as a G-tube, through the abdomen and into the stomach) , Cerebrovascular Accident (an interruption in the flow of blood to cells in the brain) , late onset Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment) , Esophagitis without bleeding (inflammation in esophagus) and Respiratory failure (a serious condition that makes it difficult to breathe on your own).
