Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care and services for one resident. Physician orders for the resident included checking and changing oxygen tubing weekly and as needed, every night shift, every Saturday, and ensuring the tubing was dated, as well as administering oxygen at two liters to maintain an SPO2 greater than 90 every shift for shortness of breath. During an observation, the resident was found disconnected from the oxygen tube while the oxygen concentrator was running, and the oxygen tubing was observed lying on the floor. This finding was confirmed at the time with a licensed nurse.
