Review of the resident's comprehensive care plan, updated 12/8/17, showed staff did not update the care plan within seven days after completion of the comprehensive assessment (dated 10/15/17), and did not document any specific interventions regarding [MEDICAL CONDITION] drug use. 3. Review of Resident #29's, Admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed staff assessed the resident as cognitively intact. Review of the resident's care plan showed staff did not create the resident's care plan until 5/11/18. Further review showed staff did not create the resident's care plan seven days after completion of the comprehensive admission MDS assessment dated [DATE]. 4. Review of Resident #31's comprehensive MDS, dated [DATE], showed staff assessed the resident as follows: -admitted [DATE] from the community; -Moderate cognitive impairment; -[DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. -Received Antipsychotic, Antianxiety, Antidepressant, and Hypnotic medications for seven days during the seven day review period; -Antipsychotics were received on a routine basis only; -[MEDICAL CONDITION] drug use triggered in Care Area A, and triggered as a Care Planning decision in Section V (CAA summary) of the MDS. Review of the resident's comprehensive care plan, dated 1/23/18, showed staff did not document any specific interventions regarding [MEDICAL CONDITION] drug use. 5. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 9:29 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A said the Director of Nursing (DON) and the MDS coordinator work together to complete the care plans for new residents, and the DON updates the care plans. The LPN said the care plan directs the resident's care, and should be up to date/accurate. Interventions for falls, [MEDICAL CONDITION] drug use, weight loss, etc., should be documented on the care plans. Resident #26 and #31 should care plan interventions for their [MEDICAL CONDITION] meds. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 2:18 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON), said he/she creates care plans within seven days after the final signature on the MDS. He/She used the Section V and CAA triggers from the MDS to complete the care plans. He/She said Resident #29's care plan was late because it just was not done. The DON said he/she would include interventions for [MEDICAL CONDITION] drugs on Resident #26's care plan only if he/she was having behavior issues. Resident #31 takes an Antianxiety med, but he/she would not expect any interventions for that on the care plan because the resident was not exhibiting any signs or symptoms of anxiety. However, interventions on what to look for if the meds quit working would be beneficial to have on the residents' care plans.

Based on observation, interview, and record review facility staff failed to update the plan of care with changes in the resident's needs for two residents (Resident #3 and #24) out of 12 sampled residents. The facility census was 34. 1. Review of the facility's policy on Comprehensive Care Plans, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed staff are directed: -The interdisciplinary care plan team with input from the resident, family, and/or legal representative will develop and maintain a comprehensive care plan for each resident that identifies the highest level of functioning the resident may be expected to attain; -The comprehensive care plan will be based on a thorough assessment that includes, but is not limited to, the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment; -Assessment of each resident is ongoing process and the care plan will be revised as changes occur in the resident's condition; -The interdisciplinary care plan team is responsible for the periodic review and updating of care plans: a. When a significant change in the resident's condition has occurred; b. At least quarterly; c. When changes occur that impact the resident's care (i.e. change in diet, discontinuation of therapy, changes in care areas that do not require a significant change in assessment). 2. Review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 11/04/17, showed staff assessed the resident as: -Moderate cognitive impairment; -Required extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene; -Frequently incontinent of urine and occasionally incontinent of bowel; -No falls; -No unhealed pressure ulcers; -No oxygen. Review of the resident's care plan, dated 12/24/17, showed the resident fell and hit his/her head. Further review showed staff did not add fall interventions or monitoring techniques to the care plan. Review of the resident's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], showed staff assessed the resident as: -Moderate cognitive impairment; -Required extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene; -Frequently incontinent of urine and occasionally incontinent of bowel; -One fall; -No unhealed pressure ulcers; -No oxygen. Review of the resident's physician orders, dated 04/01/18 to 04/30/18, showed direction for staff to use oxygen at 2 liters (L) PRN (as needed) for Dyspnea. Additional review showed the physician directed the staff to use [MEDICATION NAME] treatments (breathing treatment) four times a day PRN for 10 days for pneumonia. Review of the resident's annual care plan meeting notes, dated 05/10/18, showed staff documented the resident has a new [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Further review showed staff documented the resident started Keflex (antibiotic) on 03/19/18 for an inflamed tooth, started [MEDICATION NAME] (antibiotic) on 05/07/18 for pneumonia, had a chest x-ray on 05/07/18, and started [MEDICATION NAME] treatments on 05/08/18. Staff did not update the care plan with directives for staff to know when to administer the PRN oxygen or [MEDICATION NAME] treatments and did not list any monitoring techniques to ensure the treatments are effective. 3. Review of Resident #24's MDS, dated [DATE], showed facility staff assessed the resident as follows: -Cognition intact; -No falls. Review of the resident's care plan, last updated 1/19/18, showed staff documented the resident at risk for falls and are directed to do the following: -Provide supervision assistance with activities of daily living; -Keep bed in low position; -Keep call light secured in reach; -Keep environment free of clutter and belongings in reach; -Verbal cues to help remember safety precautions; -1/19/18 found on floor by bed sent to emergency room , sustained fracture of left tibia and fibula. Review of the resident's care plan meeting notes, dated 4/12/18, showed staff documented on 1/19/18 resident was found on the floor and sustained a fracture to the left tibia/fibula. Further review of the resident's care plan showed staff did not update the resident's care plan with interventions after the resident's fall with a fracture. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 2:18 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said the DON updates the care plans with changes. The DON said he/she does not always update the care plan when staff have repeated falls but if there is a broken bone the care plan should be updated with interventions. The DON said the resident's care plan should have been updated with interventions after his/her fall and he/she is not sure why it was not updated. 4. During an interview on 05/10/18 at 2:11 P.M., CNA B said staff use the care plan information to know the residents' needs. He/She is unsure when care plans are updated. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 9:29 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A said the Director of Nursing (DON) updates residents' care plans. The LPN said the care plan directs the resident's care, and should be up to date/accurate, so interventions for oxygen therapy, and fall prevention should be documented on the care plans. During an interview on 05/11/18 at 9:38 A.M., the MDS Coordinator said the DON completes the care plans. He/She said he/she prints out the Section V from the MDS and gives it to the DON to use as a reference for creating the care plans. He/She said staff and the DON are responsible for updating the care plans. He/She said he/she is unsure how they are updated. He/She said care plan updates should include directives to staff on how to provide a change in care. During an interview on 05/11/18 at 02:18 P.M., the DON said he/she and the MDS Coordinator create the care plans. He/She said comprehensive care plans should be done within seven days of the last signature on the MDS. He/She said he/she used the Section V (Care Area Assessment section of the MDS) triggers to complete the care plans. He/She said care plans are updated with all changes and he/she updates them all weekly with telephone orders and personal changes. He/She said he/she hand writes updates on the care plans and only creates new care plans with significant changes, or if the resident has been to the hospital and back. He/She does not usually update comprehensive care plans with annual assessments. He/She said if a new problem is identified on the care plan the update should include monitoring and interventions. He/She said he/she updates the care plans when a resident falls but only adds interventions with some falls. He/She said he/she does not add interventions with all falls with injury only the serious injuries. He/She said the resident's fall was listed on his/her care plan but no new interventions or monitoring were put in place. He/She said the resident has had some falls but not frequent and staff already uses sit to stand and encourages the resident to lie down as fall interventions. He/She said the oxygen use and [MEDICATION NAME] treatments should be listed on the resident's care plan and it should also list interventions and directives to staff.

F686D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on observation, interviews, and record review, facility staff failed to promote healing of a pressure ulcer, when they did not complete skin/wound assessments in a timely manner, did not adequately respond to a change in the resident's skin integrity, and did not notify the physician and obtain orders for a new treatment for one resident (Resident #31) with changes to an unhealed pressure ulcer. The Facility census was 34. 1. Review of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed the following definitions: -Stage 1 pressure injury is intact skin with localized area of non-blanchable (when you press on the area of redness the redness does not go away) [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] (redness). Presence of blanchable [DIAGNOSES REDACTED], changes in sensation, temperature, or firmness may precede visual changes; -Stage 2 pressure injury is a partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis (the thick layer of living tissue below the top layer of skin that forms the true skin). The wound bed is viable, visible and deeper tissue are not visible. Granulation tissue (new connective tissue), slough (dead tissue in the process of separating from the body which can be slimy, stringy, clumpy or [MEDICATION NAME] consistency and is usually light colored), and eschar (dead tissue that sheds or falls off from health skin, usually dark brown or black in color) are not present; -Stage 3 pressure injury is a full thickness loss of skin, where adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer and granulation tissue and rolled edges are often present. Slough and eschar may be visible, but do not obscure the extent of tissue loss. The depth of tissue damage varies by the location on the body. Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia (a thin sheath of fibrous tissue), muscle, tendon, ligament cartilage or bone are not exposed; -Stage 4 pressure injury is a full-thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer. Slough and or eschar may be visible, but do not obscure the extent of tissue loss. Rolled edges, undermining and or tunneling often occur. Depth varies by location; -Deep Tissue Pressure Injury (DTI) is an area of intact or non-intact skin with a localized area of persistent non-intact skin and/or with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration or [MEDICATION NAME] separation revealing a dark wound bed or blood filled blister. This injury results from intense and/or prolonged pressure and shear forces at the bone-muscle interface. The wound may evolve rapidly to reveal the actual extent of tissue injury, or may resolve without tissue loss. If necrotic tissue, subcutaneous tissue, granulation tissue, fascia, muscle, or other underlying structures are visible, this indicates a full thickness pressure injury (unstageable, stage 3, or stage 4 pressure injury). 2. Review of the facility's policy on Care and Prevention of Pressure Ulcers, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed staff are directed the treatment of pressure ulcers will vary depending on the orders of the attending physician. The nurse is responsible for carrying out the treatment as ordered by the physician, and for implementing measures to prevent pressure ulcers. 3. Review of the facility's policy on Wound Care and Treatment, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed staff are directed: -Perform ongoing skin assessment with weekly documentation of status; -Cleanse all wounds with standard cleanser; -Use protective barrier wipe to wipe peri-wound area (area surrounding the wound) of intact skin. 4. Review of Resident #31's physician's orders [REDACTED]. Further review showed the resident had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the resident's Braden Scale (a tool used to assess a resident's risk of developing a pressure ulcer) dated 1/3/18, showed staff assessed the resident with a score of 19, which indicated he/she was not at risk for pressure ulcers. Review of the resident's records showed staff documented the following on the skin assessments: -1/3/18: Left heel, callused (a hard formation of tissue, especially new tissue formed over a wound) area with dark center; -1/5/18: Skin prep to left heel, heelbos (device to protect the elbow or heel from abrasion and promotes healing of pressure ulcers) on while in bed; -1/12/18: Skin prep to left heel, lower extremities (legs/feet) on pillow to avoid pressure to heels. Review of the resident's admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed staff assessed the resident as follows: -Moderate cognitive impairment; -Limited assist of one person with bed mobility, transfer, locomotion on unit, dressing, toilet, and hygiene; -Uses a walker and wheelchair for mobility; -Not at risk for developing pressure ulcers, -No unhealed pressure ulcers; -Did not receive any applications of dressings to feet (with or without topical medications). Review of the resident's nurses' notes, dated 3/8/18, showed staff documented they identified a 0.5 cm open area to the resident's left heel, inspected his/her shoe, and noticed a raised area on his/her heel where the shoe insert met the foot. Staff documented they obtained a new order to cleanse left heel, apply hydrogel (dressing for wounds), [MEDICATION NAME] (specialized gauze pad), 4 X 4 gauze, and tape. Review of the resident's wound report, dated 3/8/18, showed staff assessed the wound as unstageable, measured 0.5 cm X 0.5 cm, no depth, light serous drainage (thin, clear fluid), 100 percent slough, and firm/well defined wound edges. Review of the resident's nurses' notes, dated 3/12/18, showed staff documented they notified the physician and resident representative, and the resident representative said he/she has had trouble with the resident's heel off and on. Staff did not notify the resident representative until four days after the resident developed an unstageable pressure ulcer to his/her heel. Review of the records showed the Podiatrist (a specialized foot doctor) assessed the resident on 3/22/18 with a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. He/She directed staff to examine the resident's feet nightly, and avoid being barefoot or tight-fitting shoes. Review of the resident's records showed staff did not document a skin assessment on 3/23/18, 3/30/18, and 4/6/18, and did not document a wound assessment for the week of 4/1/18 through 4/7/18. Review of the resident's nurses' notes showed staff documented on 4/10/18: Wound to left heel assessed by Director of Nursing (DON), treatment order changed to skin prep twice daily, wear shoe on left foot for therapy only. Review of the resident's care plan, updated 4/10/18, showed staff are directed: -Please report any reddened areas to the charge nurse for further evaluation and treatment as needed; -Pay special attention to feet because of nerve damage from Diabetes, and may not feel pain from sore areas; -The wound on the resident's left heel was healed, continue to use skin prep to the area to keep the callus toughened. Review of the resident's records showed staff did not document a skin assessment on 4/13/18. Staff assessed the resident on 4/14/18, with a Braden Scale score of 19, which indicated he/she was not at risk for pressure ulcers. Further review showed staff did not document a skin assessment on 4/27/18. Observation and interview on 5/09/18 at 10:29 A.M., showed the resident sat in a recliner in his/her room, with a blue heel boot to his/her left foot. The resident said the insert/sole in his/her shoes rubbed him/her wrong and developed a sore to his/her left foot. He/She did not know if the sore was healing or not. Observation and interview on 5/10/18 at 2:38 P.M., showed the resident in a recliner in his/her room. Further observation of his/her left heel showed an opened circular area approximately 0.5 cm X 0.5 cm, surrounded by dried, flaky skin. The resident said he/she could not wear shoes until his/her heel was completely healed, and it hurts in that one little spot. Certified Medication Technician (CMT) C said the nurse performs a treatment to the area in the evenings. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 10:32 A.M., the DON said the resident's wound was healed. Observation and interview on 5/11/18 at 10:34 A.M., showed the resident sat in a wheelchair in his/her room. Observation showed an uncovered, open area to his/her left heel that measured approximately 0.5 cm X 0.5 cm, with visible slough, surrounded by dried flaky skin. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A said the area was opened just a little bit, with slough in the center, and no redness. The resident said it hurts a little when touched in that one spot. Observation showed the LPN applied skin prep to the entire wound bed and surrounding tissue. The LPN said he/she always applied the skin prep to the open area and around it. The LPN said if staff notices an open area, he/she is expected to notify the DON for assessment, and the nurse or DON will notify the physician for a treatment if needed. He/She did not measure the wound today because he/she measured it the day before as 0.2 cm X 0.2 cm X 0.1 cm. He/She said the charge nurse is responsible to notify the family, and document in the nurse's notes. The resident had a previous treatment with hydrogel that was stopped on 4/10/18. The LPN said the nurse is expected to do skin assessments weekly, and the DON assesses wounds once a week. Staff did not notify the physician, and did not obtain and provide an appropriate treatment to a previously identified open wound. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 11:03 A.M., the DON said he/she expects the night shift nurse to complete residents' skin assessments weekly. Once the nurse notifies him/her of a wound, he/she assesses the wound weekly, and must have just missed the resident's wound assessment for the first week of April. The last time he/she assessed the resident's wound was on 4/10/18, and it was healed. The DON said he/she expects staff to look at the wound and assess it when they perform the treatment, notify him/her immediately if they notice a new open area, document approximate measurements in the nurses notes/report book, and he/she will obtain official measurements after. The DON said he/she monitors for completion of skin assessments, and did not know why staff did not document skin assessments on 2/9, 2/16, 3/23, 3/30, 4/6, 4/13, and 4/27. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 1:56 P.M., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) D said he/she was not sure if the resident still had an open wound to his/her left foot, but the resident still complains of pain and soreness to that foot. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 2:03 P.M., LPN A said he/she would not normally measure the resident's heel if it was not open, but the previous evening, the resident's heel looked like the very center was opened so he/she measured the area. The LPN said he/she did not document his/her findings in the nurses notes, and did not notify the physician, or the oncoming nurse, but said he/she probably should have. The LPN said he/she notified the DON earlier that morning, prior to doing the treatment at 10:34 A.M., that he/she thought the resident's wound was opened. The LPN said he/she should have notified the physician for a new treatment order. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 3:07 P.M., the DON said staff did not notify him/her that the resident had an open area. The DON said he/she expects staff to notify the physician for a treatment if needed. He/She did not expect staff to apply skin prep to an open wound because that would hurt the resident, and said in April, the resident had an unstageable wound that was healed.

Based on observation, interview and record review, facility staff failed to provide oxygen therapy at the accurate flow rate for one sampled resident (Resident #3), who had a current respiratory infection. Staff also failed to store oxygen/nebulizer mask/tubing, clean oxygen concentrator(s), and use distilled water in humidifiers in a manner to prevent infection-causing contaminants for two residents (Resident #3 and #33), out of 12 sampled residents. The facility census was 34. 1. Review of the facility's Oxygen Administration Policy, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), showed staff are directed to: -Fill humidifiers with sterile, distilled water (used to prevent mineral dust from being expelled and invade the lungs), or de-ionized water; -Set the oxygen flow meter to the rate ordered by the physician; -Label the humidifier with the date and time opened; -Change the humidifier and tubing per cleaning guidelines; -At regular intervals, check and clean oxygen equipment, masks, tubing, and cannulas; -At regular intervals, check liter flow contents of oxygen cylinder, fluid level in humidifier and assess resident's respiration to determine further need for oxygen therapy; -Place cannula tubing in plastic bag when not in use; -Check resident's respiration and observe at regular intervals to assess need for further oxygen therapy after oxygen has been discontinued. 2. Review of Resident #3's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS), a federally mandated assessment, dated 2/4/18, showed staff assessed the resident as: -Moderate cognitive impairment; -Required extensive assistance of two staff members for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene; -No oxygen. Review of the resident's physician orders, dated 4/1/18 to 4/30/18, showed staff are directed to provide oxygen at 2 liters (L) as needed (PRN) for Dyspnea (shortness of breath). Additional review showed the physician directed staff to use [MEDICATION NAME] treatments (inhaled medication) four times a day PRN for 10 days for pneumonia (an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs). Review of the resident's annual care plan meeting notes, dated 5/10/18, showed staff documented the resident has a new [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Further review showed staff documented the resident started Keflex (antibiotic) on 3/19/18 for an inflamed tooth, started [MEDICATION NAME] (antibiotic) on 5/7/18 for pneumonia, had a chest x-ray on 5/7/18, and started [MEDICATION NAME] treatments on 5/8/18. Staff did not update the care plan with direction for staff to know when to administer the PRN oxygen or [MEDICATION NAME] treatments and did not list any monitoring techniques to ensure the treatments are effective. Observation on 5/9/18 at 9:32 A.M., showed the resident in his/her wheelchair with the oxygen cannula in place but the tubing on the floor unlabeled and undated. Observation on 5/10/18 at 9:50 A.M., during the group interview, showed the resident's face turned red as he/she coughed and appeared to struggle for air . Further observation showed the resident's portable oxygen tank dial read empty. Observation on 5/10/18 at 12:03 P.M., showed the resident not in his/her room. Further observation showed the resident's oxygen cannula on the floor and the tubing unlabeled/undated. Observation and interview on 5/10/18 at 12:44 P.M., showed the resident in his/her wheelchair in his/her room. He/She had the oxygen cannula in place and continued to cough. Further observation showed the oxygen tubing on the floor unlabeled/undated. Additional observation showed the oxygen set to deliver 3 liters per minute. The resident said staff change his/her oxygen tubing and cannula every two weeks. He/She said he/she is unsure if staff use distilled water for the oxygen concentrator (medical device used to deliver oxygen) humidifier. Observation and interview on 5/10/18 at 3:48 P.M., showed the resident in his/her wheelchair and visited with family. He/She had the oxygen cannula in place. Further observation showed the oxygen concentrator turned off. The resident said he/she believed the oxygen concentrator was on. He/She said, why would it be turned off when I need it? During an interview on 05/10/18 at 01:25 P.M., Certified Medication Technician (CMT) C said the night shift charge nurse changes oxygen tubing on the 10th and 25th of each month. He/She said staff does not use distilled water for the concentrators and he/she does not know why. 3. Review of Resident #33's admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed staff assessed the resident as cognitively intact, had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the resident's care plan, dated 4/27/18, showed staff documented the resident suffers from [MEDICAL CONDITION]/Asthma, with progressive lung disease, and directed staff: -Resident is at risk for respiratory complications; -Administer supplemental oxygen at night for comfort. Review of the resident's physician's orders [REDACTED]. Observation on 5/09/18 at 9:30 A.M., showed an oxygen concentrator at the bedside, with a build up of white debris particularly where the humidifier bottle rests. Further observation showed a nebulizer machine (device to deliver inhaled medication into the lungs) on the nightstand, and the attached undated mask/tubing laid on the nightstand. Observation and interview on 5/09/18 at 11:10 A.M., showed the resident in bed, and received oxygen via the nasal cannula, connected to the concentrator. The concentrator contained a build up of white debris near the humidifier bottle. The resident's family member said he/she has been requiring more oxygen lately. Further observation showed the resident's wheelchair next to the bed, with a portable oxygen tank on the back, an attached nasal cannula dated 4/25/18, and the prongs of the cannula rested directly on the chair. Observation on 5/9/18 at 11:51 A.M., showed the resident in bed and received oxygen via the nasal cannula, connected to the concentrator, which continued to contain a build of white debris. Observation on 5/10/18 at 1:36 P.M., showed the resident in bed with an undated nasal cannula attached to his/her face, connected to the concentrator, which continued to contain a build up of white debris. Observation showed the resident with an unproductive cough. Staff did not store the resident's oxygen tubing/nebulizer mask/tubing in a manner to prevent infection, and did not clean the oxygen concentrator as needed to prevent the risks of infection causing contaminants. 4. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 9:29 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A said staff are directed to change oxygen/nebulizer masks and tubings twice a month on 10th and 25th, but staff do not officially document that anywhere. He/She said staff are expected to label the tubing with the date after they change it. Staff are expected to store the tubing in a plastic bag when not in use. If staff find a tubing on the floor they should change it, and if they find a tubing on the wheelchair itself, they should place it in a bag. The LPN said staff are expected to administer oxygen based on the physician's orders [REDACTED]. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 2:13 P.M., LPN A said staff are expected to use tap water to fill the humidifier bottles. He/She was not sure if cost was a factor or what the specific reason was why staff are not directed to use distilled water. During an interview on 5/11/18 at 2:18 P.M., the DON said Resident #3's oxygen use and [MEDICATION NAME] treatments should be listed on the resident's care plan and it should also list interventions and directives to staff. He/She said staff should know to administer oxygen or a [MEDICATION NAME] treatment if the resident has shortness of breath or low oxygen saturations due to the pneumonia. He/She said nurses should check oxygen saturation each shift to ensure the oxygen is being administered at the correct liters. He/She said he/she is unsure why Resident #3 received three liters yesterday when the POS said two liters. He/She said staff should look at the tank gauge to make sure a portable tank has oxygen before using it. He/She said if the tank gauge reads low or is in the red zone, staff should get a new tank but he/she said staff usually let it run all the way down. He/She said staff should check flow of a portable tank if a resident is having trouble breathing. He/she said he/she usually requests the physician orders [REDACTED]. He/She said humidified oxygen should be checked every night for all residents with concentrators. He/She said they do not follow their policy regarding using distilled water for oxygen concentrator humidifiers. He/She said staff use tap water out of the hot side for the oxygen concentrator humidifier because they have a water softener system. He/She said the night shift charge nurse changes the oxygen tubing on the 10th and 25th of each month. He/She said staff does not document when they change the tubing and no one monitors to make sure it is done. He/She said tubing should be stored in a plastic bag when not in use. He/She said staff should label and date the oxygen tubing. He/She said if staff see undated, soiled, or tubing lie on an unclean surface it should be changed. He/She said staff should clean the concentrator if obviously dirty, and since the nurse checks nightly, he/she should notice if the concentrator needs to be cleaned.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to offer pneumococcal immunizations to two residents (Resident #5 and #10) out of 15 sampled residents, as directed by facility policy. The facility census was 41. Review of the facility's Immunizations policy, dated May 2015 showed the Pneumococcal Immunization is recommended for resident [AGE] years and older. A repeat dose after six years may be given to those at highest risk. 1. Review of Resident #3's record showed the record did not contain documentation the resident received or declined the pneumococcal vaccine. During an interview on 04/06/17 at 6:16 A.M., the DON said the facility did not have documentation of a pneumonia vaccination for the resident. The DON said she did not know if staff offered the vaccine to the resident. 2. Review of Resident #5's record showed the record did not contain documentation the resident received or declined the pneumococcal vaccine.
