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, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident 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 one (Resident #1)
of three residents reviewed for Respiratory Care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's nasal cannula was properly stored when not in use.
This failure could place residents at risk for respiratory infection and not having their respiratory needs met.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 12/19/2024, reflected the resident was an [AGE] year-old
female admitted on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a
chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs).
Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 12/16/2024, reflected the resident was
cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 13. The Quarterly MDS Assessment indicated Resident #1 was on
oxygen therapy while a resident of the facility.
Review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 10/10/2024, reflected the resident required
oxygen therapy related to COPD and one of the interventions was administer oxygen at 2 - 3 L via nasal
cannula.
Review of Resident #1's Physician Order, dated 03/19/2021, reflected O2 @ 2-3L/MIN CONTINUES VIA
NC.
Observation on 12/19/2024 at 9:49 AM, revealed Resident #1 was not inside her room. It was observed that
there was an oxygen concentrator beside her bed. A nasal cannula was attached to the oxygen
concentrator. The nasal cannula was hanging on top of the oxygen concentrator and was not bagged.
Observation and interview with CNA B on 12/19/2024 at 9:57 AM, CNA B said she assisted Resident #1 to
transfer to her wheelchair. She said she took off the nasal cannula before she transferred her and put it on
top of the oxygen concentrator. She said it should be placed inside a plastic bag to keep it clean. She
looked for a plastic bag behind the oxygen concentrator but did not see one. While in the process of looking
for a plastic bag, CNA B placed the nasal cannula on top of the bed. She said she would call the nurse to
get plastic bag.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Residents Affected - Few
Observation and interview with RN A on 12/19/2024 at 10:08 AM, she said the nasal should be bagged
when not in use to keep it clean and prevent respiratory infection. RN A went inside Resident #1's room and
saw the nasal cannula on top of the bed. She disconnected the nasal cannula and threw it in the trash can.
She said she would get a new nasal cannula and a plastic bag. RN A went out of the room and returned
with a new nasal cannula and a plastic bag. She said sometimes the resident would take it off but was not
an excuse for her to check if the nasal cannula was bagged.
In an interview with the DON on 12/19/2024 at 10:49 AM, the DON stated the nasal cannula should not be
left hanging on the oxygen concentrator or placed on top of the bed to prevent respiratory infections and
exacerbations of respiratory issues for those residents that already had respiratory challenges. The DON
said the expectation was for the staff to make sure the nasal cannula were bagged. She said, actually, it
was not the resident's responsibility to put the nasal cannula but management could educate the resident to
put the nasal cannula in a bag if she would take it off. She said she do an in-service about bagging the
nasal cannula and would personally monitor their adherence to the policy.
In an interview with the Administrator on 12/19/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Administrator stated the nasal
cannula connected to the oxygen concentrator should be in a bag when the resident was not using it to
prevent cross contamination and infection. She said the expectation was the nasal cannula would be
bagged when the resident was not using it. She said the DON already started an in-service to remind the
staff to place a plastic bag near the oxygen concentrator and to bag the nasal cannula when not in use.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 maintain an infection control program
designed to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection for 1 (Resident #22) of
2 residents reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #22's foley catheter bag (collects urine drained from the bladder) was
not touching the floor on 12/19/24.
This failure could place the residents at risk for the development and transmission of infections.
Review of Resident #22's Face Sheet, dated 12/19/24, reflected Resident #22 was a [AGE] year-old male
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (nerves controlling bladder
function are damaged).
Review of Resident #22's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 12/02/24, reflected Resident #22 had an
indwelling foley catheter and was at risk for urinary tract infections. One intervention was to always apply
appropriate infection precautions during care.
Record review reflected a physician's order, dated 10/03/24, for Resident #22 to have an indwelling foley
catheter for a neurogenic bladder (bladder dysfunction cause by nervous system conditions) and to empty
the foley catheter bag every shift and document output.
Review of Resident #22's Quarterly MDS (tool to measure health status) Assessment, dated 09/29/24,
does not reflect a BIMS (tool to evaluate cognitive function) score because resident refused to
answer/provided nonsensical answers. Section H reflected Resident #22 had an indwelling foley catheter.
During observation and interview on 12/19/24 at 09:35 AM, Resident #22 was lying in bed looking at his
cell phone. Resident #22's foley catheter bag was on the floor next to the bed. Resident #22 stated he had
to get the catheter a couple of months ago and that it was usually hung on the side of the bed.
In an interview 12/19/24 at 09:39 AM, LVN G stated the foley bag should not have been on the floor. LVN G
entered Resident #22's room and hooked the foley bag on the side of Resident #22's bed. The bottom of
the foley bag was touching the floor. When asked about this, LVN G adjusted the bed height to prevent the
catheter bag from touching the floor. LVN G stated it was important to keep the foley bag off the floor to
prevent Resident #22 from getting an infection.
In an interview 12/19/24 at 01:45 PM, the ADON stated Resident #22's foley catheter bag should not have
been touching the floor. The ADON stated it was important to ensure foley catheter bags did not come in
contact with the floor because that was an infection control issue. The ADON stated she was going to
in-service staff about it.
Review of the facility's policy Indwelling Urinary Catheter Care and Removal reflected Do not place the
drainage bag on the floor, to reduce the risk of contamination and subsequent catheter associated urinary
tract infections. Undated.
