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 make sure that residents receive adequate
respiratory care (including tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning) for 3 of 5 Residents (Resident#1,
Resident#2 and Resident#3), reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure that Resident #1,
Resident #2 and Resident #3's oxygen tubing and prefilled humidifier water bottles were changed and
dated. The facility failed to ensure that Resident #3's oxygen tubing was bagged in a plastic bag and stored
in a drawer. The failures had the potential to affect residents receiving oxygen therapy by increasing their
risk of health -associated infections.Findings included:Record review of Resident 1#'s Quarterly MDS
Assessment, dated 09/01/, 2025 reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male, had a BIMs score of 07
indicating he was cognitively impaired. The resident had diagnoses which included Renal Insufficiency
(poor function of the kidneys that may be due to a reduction in blood-flow to the kidneys caused by renal
artery disease), Diabetes Mellitus (is a condition that happens when your blood sugar is too high. It
develops when your pancreas doesn't make enough insulin or any at all, or when your body isn't
responding to the effects of insulin properly. Diabetes affects people of all ages. Most forms of diabetes are
chronic (lifelong), and all forms are manageable with medications and/or lifestyle changes.),
Non-Alzheimer's Dementia (syndrome associated with many neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by
a general decline in cognitive abilities that affects a person's ability to perform everyday activities. This
typically involves problems with memory, thinking, behavior, and motor control) Asthma (asthma is a
condition that causes long-term (chronic) inflammation in your airways. The inflammation makes them react
to certain triggers, like pollen, exercise or cold air. During these attacks, your airways narrow
(bronchospasm), swell up and fill with mucus. This makes it hard to breathe or causes you to cough or
wheeze. Without treatment, these flare-ups can be fatal.) Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive
Care Plan, Date Initiated: 12/18/2024 and Revision on: 12/18/2024 reflected the resident had
Oxygen/BIPAP Therapy r/t Respiratory illness. Facility intervention includes: BIPAP PER ORDERS.
Encourage or assist with ambulation as indicated. Give medications as ordered by physician.

MD.Record review of Resident #1's Physician orders start date 01/08/2025 reflected O2 at 2 l/min
continuous per nasal cannula every shift for COPD related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(ongoing lung condition caused by damage to the lungs. The damage results in swelling and irritation, also
called inflammation, inside the airways that limit airflow into and out of the lungs. This limited airflow is
known as obstruction. Symptoms include trouble breathing, a daily cough that brings up mucus and a tight,
whistling sound in the lungs called wheezing).Record review of Resident 2#'s Quarterly MDS Assessment,
dated 09/04/2025, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female, had a BIMs score of 14 indicating
she was cognitively intact. The resident had diagnoses which included anemia (Anemia is a blood disorder
