F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few verifying if Resident #1's CPAP settings were correct because he did not have an order. LVN B said not having an order for the CPAP may affect Resident #1 negatively because he may be dependent on the CPAP to help him rest.
