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 observation, interview, 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 two (Resident #49 and Resident #64) of five residents reviewed for Respiratory Care. Residents Affected - Few 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #49's suction machine and the Yankauer suction tip (oral suctioning tool used to remove fluid and secretions from the airway) connected to it was properly stored on 01/22/2025. 2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #64's nasal cannula (flexible tube used to deliver oxygen to the nose through two prongs) connected to the oxygen concentrator was properly stored on 01/22/2025. These failures could place the residents at risk for respiratory infection and not having their respiratory needs met. Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #49's Face Sheet, dated 01/24/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #49 was diagnosed with disturbances with salivary secretions. Record review of Resident #49's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 01/13/2025, reflected the resident had a severe impairment in cognition with a BIMS score of 04. The Quarterly MDS Assessment indicated the resident had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Record review of Resident #49's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 12/24/2024, reflected breathing pattern as one of the resident's problem list and one of the interventions was to monitor lung sounds, cough, and character of sputum. Observation and interview with Resident #49 on 01/22/2025 at 2:00 PM revealed Resident #49 was in her bed, awake. It was observed that there was a suction machine on the floor, under the resident's bed. A Yankauer was connected to the tubing of the suction machine and the tubing was coiled around the machine. The Yankauer was not properly stored. When asked about her suction machine, the resident did not reply. In an interview with LVN B on 01/22/2025 at 2:16 PM, LVN B stated Resident #49 was in hospice and hospice was the one who provided the suction machine. She said the suction machine should not be on the floor and the yankauer should be bagged when not in use. She said the issue was not if the resident was using it or not but if it was kept clean in case the resident needed it.

F 0695 2. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Record review of Resident #64's Face Sheet, dated 01/24/2025, reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #64 was diagnosed with shortness of breath. Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #64's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 01/13/2025, reflected the resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 99 indicating the resident was not able to finish the interview to determine the BIMS score. The Quarterly MDS Assessment indicated the resident had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Record review of Resident #64's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 12/02/2024, reflected the resident had an impaired gas exchange and of the interventions was to auscultate lung sounds. Record review of Resident #64's Physician Orders, dated 11/13/2024, reflected O2 at 2 LPM by NC PRN shortness of breath FOR O2 SAT <90%. Observation on 01/23/2025 at 1:11 PM revealed Resident #64 was not inside the room. An oxygen concentrator with a nasal cannula connected was observed at the resident's bedside. The nasal cannula was hanging on top of the oxygen concentrator and was not bagged with the prongs of the nasal cannula almost touching the floor. Observation and interview with LVN C on 01/23/2025 at 1:19 PM, LVN C stated the Resident #64 was in hospice and hospice was the one who provided for the oxygen concentrator. She said the resident did not usually use the oxygen. She said even though the resident was using it as needed, the nasal cannula should be properly stored when the resident was not using it. LVN C disconnected the nasal cannula and threw it in the trash can. She said if the nasal was exposed, germs from the oxygen concentrator or even the floor could transfer to the nasal cannula and might cause infection. In an interview with ADON A on 01/23/2025 at 1:39 PM, the ADON A stated the nasal cannula and the yankauer should be bagged whenever the resident was not using it to prevent cross contamination and eventually infection. She said the nasal cannula was inserted to the nose and the Yankauer to the mouth, and if they were dirty, it was just like introducing germs to the inside of the body. She said the expectation was for the staff to ensure the equipment used for respiratory care were properly stored. She said she would do an in-service about bagging the nasal cannula and the Yankauer when not in use. In an interview with the DON on 01/23/2025 at 1:57 PM, the DON stated the nasal cannula and the yankauer were supposed to be in a bag when the resident was not using it to prevent cross contamination and respiratory infections If the staff would prefer to have them near the residents, they should be stored properly. She said the expectation was for the staff to be mindful and make sure the nasal cannula and the yankauer were kept clean and bagged when the residents were not using them. She said she would conduct an in-service about respiratory care. In an interview with Hospice Nurse I on 01/24/2025 at 8:56 AM, Hospice Nurse I stated when a resident was admitted on hospice, hospice would provide some equipment that would facilitate comfort during end-of-life care. She said hospice would provide, but the facility was responsible in taking care of the equipment.

Based observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper handling of the ice to prevent contamination and the potential for waterborne illness by one CNA (CNA D) out of four staff attending to the residents during lunch time. The facility failed to ensure CNA D did not put the ice scooper on the bowl of ice while preparing drinks for the residents during lunch time on 01/22/2025. This failure could place the residents at risk of cross-contamination and development of infections. Findings included: An observation on 01/22/2025 at 12:03 PM revealed CNA D was preparing some drinks for the residents. At the middle of the dining area was a table with some boxes of milk, a bowl of ice, a small plate, and some pitchers of iced tea. She placed four glasses on a tray, scooped some ice from a bowl of ice, and put them on the glasses. She used an ice scooper to put the ice. After she put the ice on the glasses, she placed the scooper on the bowl of ice, and poured iced tea on the glasses. She put the scooper on top of the bowl of ice with the handle of the scooper touching the ice. She used her bare hands when she used the scooper. She gave the glasses to the residents. she went back to the table, placed five glasses on the tray, took the scooper on top of the ice, scooped some ice, put it on the glasses, returned the scooper on top of the ice, poured some iced tea on the glasses, and gave them to the residents. She returned to the table, placed four glasses on the tray, took the scooper on top of the ice, scooped some ice, put it on the glasses, returned the scooper on top of the ice, poured some iced tea on the glasses, and gave them to the residents. a small plate was noted beside the bowl of ice. In an observation and interview with ADON A on 01/22/2025 at 12:12 PM, ADON A stated the scooper should be placed on the plate beside the ice bowl and not on top of the ice that were inside the bowl of ice. She said putting the handle on the bowl of ice could contaminate the ice. She said germs could transfer from hands to ice scooper handle to ice. ADON A took the bowl of ice and replaced it. she also took the glasses of iced tea given to the residents and replaced them. She said she would talk to CNA D and would remind her to put the scooper on the small plate beside the bowl of ice. In an interview with CNA D on 01/22/2025 at 12:30 PM, CNA D stated the handle of the scooper that she held should not touch the ice to prevent transfer of germs. She said she also touched the tray she used to give the residents their drinks and she was not sure if the tray was clean. She said she should have put the ice scooper on the small plate beside the bowl of ice. In an interview with the DON on 01/23/2025 at 1:57 PM, the DON stated the ice scooper should be placed on the small plate beside the bowl of ice. She said placing the handle of the ice scooper inside the ice could contaminate the ice that were put in glasses for the residents. She said her expectation was for the staff to be mindful with the manner they served the residents. She said she would do an in-service about infection control and would include proper handling of the ice scooper because putting it on top of the ice could contribute to cross contamination and infection.
