Residents Affected - Some
the bed holding on the NC in her hand. Resident mumbled for about 5 minutes while being interviewed and
could not respond appropriately to the questions asked. LVN A stated Resident #8's had an PRN 02 order.
She stated Resident#8 due to dementia removed her NC. LVN A stated every time she went into the
resident's room, she checked the oxygen concentrator to make sure it was running. LVN A stated Resident
quickly de-stats to 87-88%. At this time, LVN A checked Resident#8's O2 level it was 88%. LVN A applied
NC on the resident. LVN A stated she saw Resident #8's oxygen was set at 4 liters per minute. LVN A
adjusted 02 to 2L. LVN A stated Resident messes with the dial. It should be on 2L.
Observation and interview on 04/05/2024 at 3:16 p.m., revealed Resident was standing near her bed
holding the NC in her hand. Wound Care Nurse saw Resident #8's oxygen was set at 5 liters per minute.
Wound Care Nurse adjusted O2 to 2L. Wound Care Nurse stated, I have taken care of Resident#8 in the
past and knew she was on 2L.
In an interview on 04/05/2024 at 3:25 p.m., the DON stated Resident #8 was on PRN oxygen,
non-compliant and constantly removed NC. The DON stated she was not aware Resident messed with the
dial and adjusted her oxygen flow rate. The DON stated the nurses were responsible for monitoring the
oxygen flow rate was set at the correct flow ordered by the physician. The DON stated she expected the
nurses to follow physician orders. She said the Wound Care Nurse should have checked the orders in the
computer prior to adjusting the oxygen flow as the order changes.
Record review and interview on 04/062024 at 12:04p.m., LVN A reviewed Resident #8's physician's order
with Surveyor A. LVN A stated the physician ordered the oxygen to be at 3 liters not 2 liters. LVN A stated
she had not checked the physician's order for the oxygen flow. LVN A stated she thought the order was for 2
liters. She stated she had few other residents on PRN 0xygen on 2L so, I assumed she was also ordered
2L. She stated stat 90% or lower would require oxygen. LVN A stated to prevent an incorrect oxygen flow
rate in the future she would monitor the physician's order and the oxygen concentrator more often in her
shift. She stated the respiratory therapist was notified the resident adjusted her oxygen flow rate. LVN A
stated the outcome of not managing the residents oxygen flow would result in oxygen toxicity (illness
caused by a high partial pressure of oxygen during the oxygen therapy).
Record review of facility's Oxygen Administration policy undated revealed read in part: .PURPOSE: deliver
oxygen to the resident when insufficient oxygen is being carried by the blood to the tissues. PROCEDURE:
1. Check physician's order for liter flow and method of administration. E. Set the flowmeter to the rate
ordered by the physician. 6. Nasal Cannula: Connect tubing to humidifier outlet and adjust liter flow as
