Residents Affected - Few -The facility failed to have replaced the privacy curtains in Resident #43's and Resident #39's room after removal for cleaning/repair. This failure could place residents at risk of experiencing a decrease in their quality of life. Findings include: Record review of Resident #43's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted in the facility on 08/11/2017. Record review of the facility census, dated 06/13/2023 revealed Resident #43 and #39 were roommates.

She said both residents in the room were able to take care of themselves and use the restroom on their own, but she knows Resident #43 likes to do his own thing and usually has the curtain drawn closed for his privacy. She said if she was in the resident's shoes, she would be uncomfortable with the inability to have privacy. Interview with the Housekeeping Supervisor on 06/15/23 at 10:14 AM, he said he took down the curtains on Monday, 06/12/2023. He said the privacy curtains should be replaced within the same day they were taken down and that there was a delay was because he had to get the hooks up the wall replaced due to faulty and broken hooks which he fixed himself. He said if he was in the Resident #43's shoes, (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Residents Affected - Few -The facility failed to follow the physician orders for Resident #38's oxygen rate of 2L. This failure could place residents who received oxygen therapy at risk of respiratory complications.

Her diagnoses were pulmonary fibrosis (Scarring in the lungs), hypertension (high or raised blood pressure), cerebral infarction (Disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessel), diabetes mellitus (body does not control the amount of glucose in the blood and kidneys) and atherosclerotic heart disease (thickening of the arteries caused by buildup of plaque).

Record review of Resident#38's care plan dated 04/04/22 revealed oxygen therapy was not care planned. Record review of Resident#38's order details revealed oxygen at 2L/min continuous per NC active date 11/25/22.

She said the resident should be on 2 L, not 2.5 L. ADON D said oxygen should only be changed if the doctor gave the change order. She said if the resident was given oxygen below or above could cause a negative outcome; if Resident # 38 was given lower than ordered, it could cause hypoxia(oxygen is not available in sufficient amounts at the tissue level); and if she was given higher than ordered, it could cause hypercapnia.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an observation and interview on 06/14/23 at 9:07 a.m., revealed Resident 38's oxygen tank on the back of her wheelchair was set at 2.5 L. Resident # 38 said she could not have reached behind her wheelchair and adjusted the setting on the oxygen tank. During an observation and interview on 06/14/23 at 9:10 a.m., revealed Resident #38's oxygen tank was still on 2.5 liters. LVN H said Resident #38's oxygen tank was set at 2.5 L. She said Resident #38's oxygen should be set at 3 L because that was the order from the doctor. During an interview and record review of Resident # 38's order summary report on 06/14/23 at 9:15 a.m., ADON D said she could not find the order for the oxygen on Resident #38's order summary report, but she knew she had an order for oxygen for 2 liters. She would go and search through other Resident #38's orders and find out what happened. During an interview on 06/14/23 at 10:17 a.m., the DON said Resident #38's orders were discontinued by the DON from the northwest on 06/13/23 by mistake, but the resource nurse reentered and cross-checked all the medications. She said Resident #38 was on oxygen at 2 Liters on Monday (06/12/23), not at 2.5 Liters and should be on 2 Liters up till today but she would ask the physician change the order as of today (06/14/23). The DON said oxygen could be changed during an emergency, and the doctor would be notified because oxygen is considered medication. She said if the oxygen was increased more than what was ordered, it could cause Resident #38's natural drive to breathe would be reduced and could cause hypercapnia. She also said if Resident #38's oxygen setting was below the physician's order, the resident's oxygen saturation could be lowered, and the resident would have difficulty with breathing. The DON said she became aware the oxygen order was not in the physician's order when the surveyor asked about the oxygen order. She said the mistake that the oxygen order was dropped would not have been found out until medication reconciliation. She said two nurses had worked with Resident #38 since yesterday and did not pick up the resident's oxygen had fallen off (the resident oxygen was discontinued). During an interview on 06/14/23 at 4:51 p.m., LVN H said Resident # 38's oxygen tank was set to 2.5 L. She said when she looked at the order s today, she did not have any order and did not know what happened to the order. LVN H said she came to work today at 7:00 a.m. LVN H said she had not checked the order before the surveyor saw the resident, but she already knew she had order for oxygen because she had worked with the resident before. She said the resident has always been on 3 liters and did not know when it was changed. She said the resident could not change the setting on the O2 tank when she was sitting in the chair. Record review of the facility policy on oxygen administration reviewed/revised 4/4/2023 read in part . it is the policy of this facility that oxygen therapy is administered, as ordered by the physician .
