ADON E said respiratory equipment should be changed once a week on a Sunday on the night shift. ADON E said this was for infection control. ADON E said when respiratory equipment was not changed as ordered, it placed the resident at risk for upper respiratory infections. ADON E said once the nurse changed out the equipment, it was documented on the TAR that the task was completed. ADON E said it was the responsibility of the ADON's to ensure this was being done. ADON E said when she reported to work, she looked at the oxygen equipment to ensure it was being done.
