Summary
The facility failed to implement a complete care plan for a resident who returned from the hospital with new physician orders for continuous oxygen administration at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula. The resident, who had been hospitalized with pneumonia, was observed using oxygen and had a Bi-pap machine at bedside. Despite these new respiratory needs, the five-day care plan developed after the resident's return did not address the oxygen or Bi-pap requirements. The omission was confirmed by the MDS Coordinator during the assessment and care planning process, who acknowledged that the respiratory components were not included in the resident's care plan.
