Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who needed respiratory care was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for receiving oxygen therapy. A resident's oxygen concentrator and portable oxygen tank were not set at the ordered Liters Per Minute (LPM). (Resident 13) Finding includes: On 6/24/24 at 10:23 A.M., Resident 13 was observed sitting in his room in his wheelchair wearing oxygen per nasal cannula (NC) that was connected to a portable oxygen tank on the back of his wheelchair with the setting at 2 LPM. The tubing was not dated. There was an oxygen concentrator machine at bedside with a dusty filter. On 6/27/24 at 9:49 A.M., Resident 13 was observed sitting in his room in his wheelchair wearing oxygen per NC that was connected to the oxygen concentrator machine at bedside with the setting on at 1.5 LPM and the NC tubing was resting on top of the resident's nose. The filter of the oxygen concentrator machine was dusty. On 6/27/24 at 1:25 P.M., Resident 13 was observed sitting in his room in his wheelchair wearing oxygen per NC that was connected to a portable oxygen tank on the back of his wheelchair with the setting at 0.5 LPM. On 6/27/24 at 1:30 P.M., Registered Nurse (RN) 26 observed the resident in the bathroom with staff toileting him and the resident wearing oxygen per NC that was connected to a portable oxygen tank on the back of his wheelchair with the setting at 0.5 LPM. The resident indicated he was not short of breath. She proceeded to take the resident's oxygen saturation and it read 91-92%. At that time, she adjusted the resident's portable oxygen tank setting to 2 LPM. On 6/27/24 at 12:21 P.M., Resident 13's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia, hypertension, and heart failure. The most recent Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment, dated 5/7/24, indicated Resident 13's cognition was moderately impaired, he was an extensive assist of 2 staff for bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and on oxygen. Current Physician's Orders included, but were not limited to, the following: Change oxygen tubing monthly once a day on the 1st of the month, dated 3/14/24 Clean external concentrator filter every two weeks once a day on Sunday, dated 3/14/24 Oxygen at 2 LPM per NC, continuously, three times a day, ordered 3/14/24 A current Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Care Plan, revised 5/20/24, included, but was not limited to, the following interventions: Oxygen per MD orders, initiated 3/7/24 On 6/27/24 at 1:13 P.M., the June 2024 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) was reviewed and indicated the external filter was cleaned on 6/23/24 and the resident's oxygen saturation levels ranged from 94-98% while wearing oxygen. During an interview on 6/27/24 at 1:35 P.M., RN 18 indicated the nurse was responsible for making sure the oxygen setting was as ordered and moving the residents oxygen tubing from the portable tank to the concentrator should be done by the nurse. She was not sure how long the resident had been connected to his portable oxygen tank because she observed the resident on his oxygen via the concentrator machine before lunch but had not looked at his oxygen after. At that time, she indicated his normal oxygen saturation would be in the upper 90's, like 95-97%, with his oxygen on. She indicated the oxygen setting on the oxygen concentrator machine should be checked every shift when the resident was connected to it and as needed and the portable tank should be checked when resident was first connected to it and as needed.
