Inspection Findings
Review of R21's care plan dated 1/31/25, identified altered respiratory status related to chronic respiratory failure and COPD with an intervention to provide oxygen as ordered.
Review of R21's electronic medical record (EMR) identified oxygen saturation readings from 3/1/25 to 3/6/25 ranging from 92-100%.
The oxygen liter flow was not identified at each reading.
During an observation on 3/4/25 at 8:57 a.m., R21 was wearing a nasal cannula which was connected to the oxygen tank, and the dial on the tank was set to five liters.
During an observation on 3/5/25 at 11:43 a.m., R21 was sleeping in his bed wearing an oxygen cannula connected to an oxygen tank with the dial set to five liters.
During an interview on 3/5/25 at 2:52 p.m., registered nurse (RN)-M stated they check oxygen saturation levels every shift for R21, and at that time they should be checking the liter flow and taking a look at the person to see how they are doing. RN-M confirmed the oxygen liter flow for R21 was 3.5 liters, and then went to R21's room and confirmed the dial on the oxygen tank was set to five. RN-M adjusted the oxygen from five down to 3.5, R21's oxygen saturation level was 96%. RN-M explained the risk for R21 having his oxygen too high could be retaining too much carbon dioxide.
During an interview on 3/7/25 at 11:53 a.m., the director of nursing (DON) would expect the liter flow for oxygen was correct when nurses were checking the oxygen saturation level of a resident.
The DON stated for R21 this would be important because he had COPD and he could become over-oxygenated.
