She said the nurse was not following the doctor by giving Resident #15 oxygen when it is above the perimeter and should not increase the setting on the concentrator. She said the nurse needs a doctor's order to change Resident #15's 02 setting on the concentrator. She stated the DON monitors nurses to ensure they follow the doctor's order for oxygen. She said if the resident oxygen was changed, either increased or decreased, it should reflect on the resident's care plan. She said it was not indicated on the MAR because her oxygen saturation had not been 90% or less. Interview and record review on 08/11/22 at 8:10 a.m. LVN B said he worked with Resident #15 on Sunday (08/07/22) and Monday (08/08/22) night. He did not change her oxygen setting from 2 liters to 3 liters, and Resident #15 could not have changed it because it was behind her bed and could not reach the concentrator. LVN B said the resident oxygen order was for 2 liters continuous, and the aides took the resident oxygen saturation, including Resident #15, and documented it on the vital section in PCC. LVN B reviewed Resident #15's physician and stated it should have been PRN (as needed) at 2 liters if her oxygen saturation was less than 90%.

The nurses should get an order before changing the setting on the concentrator and transcribe the order to PCC (point click care), which should also reflect on the care plan. She said Resident #15 oxygen stated PRN; then it should be administered PRN after checking the O2 sat. If the resident always wants to keep it on, the nurses must notify the doctor and follow the doctor's instructions. If the oxygen was increased, the nurse should document why it was increased, and the doctor was notified. DON said administering O2 was more than needed; it could harm the resident lungs. She said she is responsible for checking on the nurses to make sure they provide O2 per physician order. She said the nurses had skills checked off, including oxygen administration.
