Record review of Resident #453's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] Section C for cognitive status revealed a Brief Mental Status (BIMS) score of 6 on a scale of 0-15 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Section GG for functional status revealed substantial/maximal assistance for transfer, partial/moderate assistance for oral hygiene and supervision touching assistance for eating.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm make sure nasal cannula is clean. A visual assessment is done before administering oxygen and throughout shift to ensure oxygen level is matching the physician order. Also, we educate family about the amount of liters required, not to touch the concentrator and if they have any question to go to the nurse.

I am aware that [Resident #453] uses oxygen during the night. In the morning, I notify the nurse to remove the nasal cannula and if she is busy, I remove the nasal cannula. On 03/28/24 at 11:59 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated: When administering oxygen therapy, the nurse is to follow physician orders; only the nurses are allowed to adjust the level of the oxygen. The CNAs are only allowed to place and remove cannulas. The only responsibility of the CNA is to notify the nurse if they see a problem. Moving forward I will do frequent rounding to monitor the oxygen level of residents who have orders for oxygen and educate the staff about oxygen administration.
