The surveyor conducted a record review of Resident #145's medical record on 1/10/2025 at 8:15 AM.
The medical record review revealed that Resident #145 had current physician orders for oxygen and an order to change the oxygen tubing and humidifier bottle every Monday on the night shift.
Further review of the medical record revealed that Resident #145 had a care plan for oxygen therapy related to respiratory illness.
In addition, the surveyor reviewed the facility's oxygen concentrator policy and procedure dated 7/20/2022.
The policy guidelines were to place an oxygen sign on the Resident's door, to change the tubing/cannula weekly and as needed, and to change humidifier bottle when empty or every seventy-two hours.
The surveyor interviewed the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/16/25 at 10:30 AM and reviewed Resident #145's oxygen usage.
The surveyor asked the DON what the expectation was for oxygen signage and changing of oxygen tubing and humidifier bottles when Residents use oxygen.
The DON stated that there was to be a sign on the Resident room door that indicated oxygen was in use and that the oxygen tubing and humidifier bottles were to be changed weekly.
The DON stated that this must have been overlooked for Resident #145.
