This was evident for four (4) of six (6) residents on the 300 Hall (Residents #2, #21, #26, and #108) and three (3) residents on the 400 Hall (Residents #48, #62, and #105), whose oxygen delivery supplies were not being changed weekly in accordance with facility policy. Facility census: 113. Findings include: a) Residents #2, #21, #26, and #108 During initial tour of the 300 Hall on 01/05/09 at approximately 2:30 p.m., observation found four (4) of the six (6) residents on that hall had oxygen (02) concentrators with oxygen delivery tubing dated 12/20/08. This was true for Residents #2, #21, #26, and #108. Resident #108 also had a nebulizer tubing and mask dated 12/20/08. (A fifth resident was receiving oxygen but refused the surveyor admittance into her room.) These findings were reported to the nurse (Employee #27) at approximately 2:55 p.m. 01/05/09, who reported that oxygen tubing was to be changed weekly. After checking the above referenced residents, she said she would see they were taken care of and would notify the nurse covering the 300 Hall. b) Residents #48, #62, and #105 On the morning of 01/07/09, observation found two (2) residents on the 400 Hall (Residents #48 and #62) with had no dates on their oxygen tubings. Also on 400 Hall, Resident #105 had a nebulizer tubing dated 12/02/08. These findings were reported, and the tubings were shown to the nurse (Employee #35). When asked who typically changed the oxygen tubing, she replied they were changed weekly, and that Employee #16 usually changed them. c) On 01/06/09 at approximately 2:00 p.m., the facility's Oxygen Administration policy was reviewed. In the revised January 2006 Respiratory Practice Manual, under Section 6.2.1. Oxygen Administration, the policy stated: "Label nasal cannula (also humidifier) with resident name, date, and liter flow." Review of Section 2.2.1.
