SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accurately record provided services by documenting incomplete treatments as completed.
This failure affects two residents (R4 and R11) out of five reviewed for specialty services and treatments on the sample list of eleven.
Findings include: 1) On 9/23/25 at 10:04 AM, R4 was seated in a recliner in his room receiving oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula tubing from an oxygen concentrator running at two and one half liters per minute. R4's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing were both dated 9/1 (2025) to indicate the last time they were changed. R4's oxygen humidifier bottle was completely dry. R4's current Physician Order Sheet dated 9/24/25 documents R4's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing need to be changed weekly on Sunday nights. R4's Treatment Administration Record for September, printed on 9/24/25, includes nursing staff initials and a checkmark on each of the scheduled dates when R4's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing was scheduled to be changed, 9/7, 9/14, and 9/21. 2) On 9/24/25 at 1:48 PM R11 was seated in a chair in his room receiving oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula tubing from an oxygen concentrator. R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing were not dated to indicate the last time they were changed. R11's current Physician Order Sheet dated 9/24/25 documents R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing need to be changed weekly on Tuesday nights. R11's Treatment Administration Record for September, printed 9/24/25, includes nursing staff initials and checkmarks on each of the dates R11's oxygen humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing was scheduled to be changed, 9/2, 9/9, 9/16, and 9/23. On 9/24/25 at 1:35 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) confirmed the nurses' initials and checkmarks are placed on the record to indicate the humidifier bottle and nasal cannula tubing had been changed in accordance with the physician orders but obviously had not been changed. V2 further stated the nurses' initials were from agency nurses and not facility staff nurses, but she would need to educate all the nurses, including agency nurses, about accurate documentation. V2 confirmed R4's oxygen humidifier bottle would not run dry in two days, nor R11's run down to one eighth of an inch overnight, if they had been changed as documented by the agency nurses.
The facility policy Oxygen Administration dated as revised October 2010, provided by V15, Regional Nurse Consultant, documents information that should be recorded in the resident's medical records including the date and time of procedures, the nurses' name and title who performed the procedure, and needs to be documented or recorded in accordance with professional standards of practice.
The facility policy Charting and Documentation dated as revised July 2017 documents all treatments and services provided to the resident shall be documented in the resident's medical record.
This policy further documents that all documentation will be complete and accurate.
