Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that residents, who needed respiratory
care, were provided such care consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive
person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for one (Resident #1) of four residents
reviewed for respiratory care.The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's nebulizer mask (device used to
deliver medication in a mist form through the nose and mouth) was properly stored, in a plastic bag with the
resident's name and date on it, when not in use on 08/13/2025.This failure could place residents at risk for
respiratory infection and not having their respiratory needs met.Findings included: Record review of
Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 08/13/2025, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included COPD (disease of the lungs
and airway that affects breathing), diabetes (the body does not use insulin effectively), and chronic kidney
disease (reduced kidney function). Record review of Resident #1's MDS (tool used to measure health
status) Quarterly Assessment, dated 06/16/2025, reflected moderate impaired cognition with a BIMS (tool
used to assess cognitive function) score of 12. Section I (active diagnoses) reflected Resident #1 was
treated for COPD and asthma (lung disease that causes the airway to narrow and can make breathing
difficult).Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 07/14/2025, reflected the
resident had COPD and the approaches were to monitor for shortness of breath and administer medication
as ordered.Record review of Resident #1's Physician's Order, dated 08/13/2025, reflected to administer
Ipratropium Albuterol Solution 0.5-2.5 (3) mg/3ml - inhale 1 vial orally three times a day for shortness of
breath. During an observation and interview on 08/13/2025 at 9:30 AM, Resident #1 was lying in bed. A
nebulizer was on top of Resident #1's night stand next to the bed. A nebulizer mask and tubing was
connected to the nebulizer. The nebulizer mask was in the top drawer of the night stand with Resident #1's
personal items. The mask was not bagged. Resident #1 stated she had a breathing treatment earlier that
day. In an interview on 08/13/2025 at 9:42 AM, the RN stated the nebulizer mask should have been in a
bag. She stated nebulizer masks and tubing were changed weekly for all respiratory care items. She stated
it was important to keep them covered to prevent contamination and infection. During an interview on
08/13/2025 10:05 AM, the CNA stated she also looked at nebulizer masks. She stated nebulizer masks
should always be in a bag when the resident was not using it. She stated if a nebulizer mask were not in a
bag, she reported it to the nurse so the nurse could get a new mask and put in a bag. She stated she had
not noticed the nebulizer mask was not in a bag. She stated if it was not kept in a bag, it was exposed to
whatever was in the air. She stated if the resident put the mask back on her face, the risk could be infection.
During an interview on 08/13/2025 at 10:12 AM, the ADON stated staff members changed oxygen tubing
and nebulizer masks weekly on Sunday night. She stated items should be dated and stored in bags when
not being used by residents. She stated this was a risk for infection to residents.During an interview on
