F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 50016 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a precautionary signage Residents Affected - Few indicating No Smoking/Oxygen in Use was placed on the door of the room and there was a physician's order for oxygen therapy for one of two sampled residents (Resident 293) who was on oxygen therapy.
This deficient practice had the potential for unnecessary oxygen therapy use for Resident 293 and increased risk of harm to residents, staff, and visitors in the facility.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 293's Admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 293 on 1/28/2025, with diagnoses including, end stage renal disease (End Stage Renal Disease-irreversible kidney failure), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease that makes it hard to breathe), and diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) with foot ulcer (a sore or break in the skin or lining of an organ).
During a review of Resident 293's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 2/13/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 293's cognition (the ability to think and process information) was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 293 required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with activities of daily living (ADL, term used in healthcare that refers to self-care activities) and substantial/maximal assistance with mobility.
During an observation on 3/4/2025 at 11:30 AM, Resident 293 was observed on oxygen therapy at 2 liters per minute (LPM- unit of measurement for volume) via nasal cannula (a medical device used to deliver oxygen into the nose). Resident 293's room did not have a no smoking/oxygen in use signage posted on the door.
During an interview on 3/4/2025 at 11:41 AM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 3, LVN 3 stated that there was no No Smoking/Oxygen in Use sign posted on the door of Resident 293's room. LVN 3 stated that Resident 293 was receiving oxygen therapy and should have had a sign indicating no smoking/oxygen in use. LVN 3 stated that the no smoking/oxygen in use sign was critical for safety. LVN 3 stated that oxygen was a highly flammable substance, and when a person was on oxygen therapy, they were at a much higher risk of sustaining serious burns or injuries from something as simple as a spark. LVN 3 stated that the signs helped remind both residents and visitors of the immediate danger.
During an interview and concurrent record review on 3/5/2025 at 4:23 PM, with LVN 5, Resident 293's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 3/5/2025 was reviewed. Resident 293's OSR indicated no physician order for oxygen therapy. LVN 5 stated that Resident 293 was receiving oxygen therapy without a physician's order. LVN 5 stated that a physician's order for oxygen therapy helped guide the healthcare team in properly administering oxygen therapy, ensured proper monitoring and documentation, and helped provide individualized, coordinated care for residents with respiratory conditions. LVN 5 stated that without a physician's order, the facility could not guarantee that the oxygen therapy was being used effectively and safely, which could lead to adverse outcomes for the resident.

F 0695 During an interview on 3/7/2025 at 11:08 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that the no smoking/oxygen in use sign served as a clear and immediate reminder to everyone - staff, residents, and Level of Harm - Minimal harm or visitors that the area was a potential fire hazard. The DON stated that the goal was to reduce the risk of any potential for actual harm accidents related to open flames or sparks, especially from cigarettes or other sources of ignition. The DON stated that oxygen could support combustion, meaning a small spark from a lit cigarette or other heat source Residents Affected - Few could have quickly escalated into a dangerous situation. The DON stated that oxygen therapy was a medical treatment, and like any treatment, it required proper authorization from a licensed physician. The DON stated that oxygen was a medication, and its use should have been based on specific guidelines and the patient's individual condition for Resident 293. The DON stated that a physician's order ensured that the facility was giving the right amount of oxygen, at the right time, and for the right reasons. The DON stated that administering oxygen therapy without a physician's order could have significant risks, such as oxygen toxicity. The DON stated that too much oxygen could lead to lung damage.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, revised 10/2010,
the P&P indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration. The P&P indicated, The following equipment and supplies will be necessary when performing this procedure . Place an Oxygen in Use sign on the outside of the room entrance door. The P&P indicated, Verify that there is a physician's order for this procedure. Review the physician's orders or facility protocol for oxygen administration.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Medication Orders, revised 11/2014, the P&P indicated, When recording orders for oxygen, specify the rate flow, route and rationale. Example: oxygen 3L/min per nasal cannula as needed for shortness of breath.

Resident 47 stated that it felt like no one at the facility really understood her or knew how to respond to her triggers. Resident 47 stated that when staff approached her in a certain way or when someone came too close too quickly her body went into fight or flight (an automatic, instinctive reaction to perceived danger or stress, preparing the body to either confront the threat [fight] or escape [flight]) mode, and she could not control it. Resident 47 stated that when she acted out, whether it was getting upset or withdrawing into herself, it seemed like the staff just thought she was being difficult or acting out for no reason. Resident 47 stated that if staff had a little more awareness of her condition, it would go a long way and make a significant difference.

The DSD stated that without an understanding of the signs and triggers of PTSD, staff might misunderstand certain behaviors, which could lead to frustration or ineffective support. The DSD stated that being mindful of PTSD ensured that the facility approached each resident with empathy and patience, fostering a safe and supportive environment. The DSD stated that staff had not been in-serviced on specific PTSD related topics. The DSD stated that incorporating PTSD in the in-service lesson plan would help staff stay current with best practices and ultimately create an environment of understanding and compassion, benefiting everyone.
During an interview on 3/7/2025 at 11:08 AM, with the Director of Nursing, the DON stated that PTSD awareness was critical in the facility because it directly impacted the care provided to residents. The DON mentioned that many residents who entered the facility had experienced some form of trauma. The DON stated that PTSD could affect both the resident's emotional and physical health, and without awareness of
the signs and symptoms, there was a risk of misinterpreting the resident's behavior. The DON stated that by offering regular, PTSD specific in-services, the facility would ensure that all staff members understood PTSD and how it manifested. The DON stated that this type of training, benefited everyone who had direct contact with residents, enabling staff to approach residents with sensitivity and compassion. The DON stressed the importance of creating an environment that supported healing and reduced potential triggers.

on 12/31/2024, and readmitted Resident 47 on 2/13/2025, with diagnoses including, sickle-cell disease (a genetic disorder that causes abnormal red blood cells), bipolar disorder (a mental illness that causes extreme mood swings, from mania [a state of intense, often euphoric or irritable, energy and activity, characterized by racing thoughts, rapid speech, and a decreased need for sleep, often accompanied by impulsive or risky behaviors] to depression), and PTSD.
During a review of Resident 47's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 1/6/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 47's cognition (the ability to think and process information) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 47 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) with activities of daily living (ADL, term used in healthcare that refers to self-care activities) and required supervision or touching assistance with mobility.
During an interview on 3/4/2025 at 11:48 AM, with Resident 47, Resident 47 stated that she had been living at the facility for a while, and overall, the care had been fine. Resident 47 stated there was something she had been struggling with, and that was the lack of understanding when it came to her PTSD diagnosis. Resident 47 stated that she had difficult experiences in her past, and her PTSD had affected the way she interacted with people or handled certain situations. Resident 47 stated that it felt like no one at the facility really understood her or knew how to respond to her triggers. Resident 47 stated that when staff approached her in a certain way or when someone came too close too quickly her body went into fight or flight (an automatic, instinctive reaction to perceived danger or stress, preparing the body to either confront the threat [fight] or escape [flight]) mode, and she could not control it. Resident 47 stated that when she acted out, whether it was getting upset or withdrawing into herself, it seemed like the staff just thought she was being difficult or acting out for no reason. Resident 47 stated that if staff had a little more awareness of her condition, it would go a long way and make a significant difference.

the signs and symptoms, there was a risk of misinterpreting the resident's behavior. The DON stated that by offering regular, PTSD specific in-services, the facility would ensure that all staff members understood PTSD and how it manifested. The DON stated that this type of training, benefited everyone who had direct contact with residents, enabling staff to approach residents with sensitivity and compassion. The DON stressed the importance of creating an environment that supported healing and reduced potential triggers.

CNA 12 stated that the rash in the wrist area had appeared around a week before CNA 12 potential for actual harm visited the employee health clinic. CNA 12 stated that CNA 12 had notified the DSD when she noticed the rash spreading beyond her wrist. CNA 12 stated that CNA 12 expressed her concerns about a possible Residents Affected - Some scabies outbreak to the DSD, as CNA 12 had observed several residents with rashes. CNA 12 stated that nothing had been done about her concern. CNA 12 stated that CNA 12 suggested doing a skin check particularly for residents in rooms [ROOM NUMBERS].
During the same telephone interview on 3/5/2025 at 4:15 PM, with CNA 12, CNA 12 stated that the health clinic had diagnosed her with scabies; however, the clinic had not obtained a skin scraping sample to confirm
the diagnosis. CNA 12 stated that she notified the DSD on 2/28/2025 around 12 PM about her diagnosis, but
the DSD did not seem concerned when CNA 12 asked if a skin scraping had been taken. CNA 12 stated that CNA 12 was given Permethrin (a topical medication that kills the mites and eggs that cause scabies and lice) cream during her initial visit on 2/28/2025 and was told to return for a follow-up in 4 days. CNA 12 stated that although CNA 12 was unable to attend her appointment on 3/4/2025, she was able to follow-up with the clinic
on 3/5/2025. CNA 12 stated that during this visit, CNA 12 was told that she still had patches of scabies, would require another treatment, and would need to return to the clinic for another follow-up in 4 days.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/7/2025 at 10:08 AM, with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), CNA 12's WASR from OHSP 1, dated 2/28/2025, was reviewed. The DSD stated that
she provided CNA 12 with the authorization form for the employee health clinic on 2/28/2025, as CNA 12 was complaining of a rash. The DSD stated that CNA 12 had mentioned concerns about a possible scabies infestation, but the facility had not experienced any outbreaks or received concerns from the dermatologist regarding scabies among residents. The DSD stated that CNA 12 was sent to the employee health clinic for evaluation and check-up. The DSD stated CNA 12 had notified her the same day, around noon, about CNA 12's diagnosis of scabies. The DSD asked CNA 12 if a skin scraping had been obtained, to which CNA 12 replied that no scraping was done. The DSD stated that the DSD did not immediately notify the Infection Preventionist (IP) until later that evening. The DSD stated that it was important to notify the IP nurse promptly when an employee was diagnosed with scabies, even without a skin scraping, because scabies was highly contagious. The DSD noted that once the employee was diagnosed with scabies, the facility should have ensured that proper precautions were taken to prevent potential outbreaks. The DSD stated that notifying the IP nurse immediately was crucial, as the IP nurse played a central role in assessing the situation and taking appropriate actions. The DSD stated the importance of clear communication between departments, especially regarding infectious conditions like scabies. The DSD stated by failing to notify the IP nurse right away, she acknowledged the potential risk of scabies spreading to other employees or residents, which could lead to an outbreak.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/7/2025 at 9 AM, with the Infection Preventionist (IPN),
the facility's Rashes list was reviewed). The IPN stated that 4 residents (Resident 25, 49, 72, 82) were identified with rashes after 2/28/2025, and had been seen by the dermatologist, with treatment orders initiated. The IPN stated that the dermatologist had no concerns regarding scabies and will continue to monitor the residents.
During an interview on 3/7/2025 at 10:47 AM, with the IPN, the IPN stated that the DSD notified her about CNA 12's scabies diagnosis late in the evening on 2/28/2025. The IPN stated the DSD reported that no skin scrapping had been obtained. The IPN stated that once she was notified, she did not initiate the proper measures to mitigate the potential risk of a scabies outbreak. The IPN stated that scabies was highly contagious, and when an employee was diagnosed , it was essential to act promptly to prevent potential transmission to both other employees and residents in the facility. The IPN stated that scabies mites could spread through direct skin-to-skin contact, and in a healthcare setting like the facility's, this made rapid response even more important. The IPN stated if left unchecked, scabies could spread quickly, leading to outbreaks among staff and residents, which were much harder to contain once they started to spread. The IPN stated that she did not initiate a line listing in a timely manner. The IPN stated that a line listing was essentially a log of all individuals who may have been exposed, allowing the facility to take appropriate precautions for each person. The IPN stated that the goal was to identify anyone who might have been at risk for contacting scabies from the diagnosed individual. The IPN stated that a line listing was important because it helped the facility quickly identify who needed to be monitored or treated.
During the same interview on 3/7/2025 at 10:47 AM, with the IPN, the IPN stated contact tracing was another key factor of the response. The IPN stated that once the facility identified those who had been in contact with
the affected employee, the facility needed to trace their interactions and possible exposures within the facility. The IPN stated that early identification and intervention were critical. The IPN stated that monitoring would be the next step, which included checking for symptoms like itching, redness, or skin lesions, that might have indicated scabies. The IPN stated that in the case of employees, this may have required staying home from work until they had completed treatment and were no longer contagious. The IPN stated, for residents, the facility may have needed to isolate residents in a private room or ensure that they had limited interaction with other residents until treatment was completed. The IPN stated that clear communication among team members ensured that the facility responded quickly, monitored affected individuals, and prevented the spread. The IPN stated that without coordination, the facility risked delays that could have made a bad situation worse.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Surveillance for Infections, revised 9/2017,
