Based on a random observation, review of facility policies, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide personal privacy for a medical treatment. A resident received a breathing treatment in the dining room. The treatment continued into the serving and eating of lunch. Resident identifier: #22. Facility census: 59. Findings include: a) Resident #22 During the initial tour of the facility, shortly after entrance at 11:30 a.m. on 06/17/13, Resident #22 was observed in the dining room by two (2) surveyors. He was reclined in a geri-chair and had on oxygen (O2). A staff member approached him and initiated a nebulizer treatment in front of numerous other residents who were awaiting lunch, including a resident who was sitting at Resident #22's table. This treatment was still taking place as lunch was served and as the other resident at the table was served his lunch. On 06/20/12 at 10:10 a.m., the DON was interviewed about breathing treatments. She said it should not happen during meals and it was a daily occurrence. An interview was attempted with Resident #22 on 06/20/13 at 10:30 a.m. He was cognitively unable to complete the interview. A second interview with the DON was held on 06/24/13. She discussed giving nebulizers in dining room and said it was a dignity issue. She provided the facility's medication administration policy which did not include information about giving medications in public. A policy and procedure on aerosol treatments was provided by the Director of Respiratory Therapy at 3:30 on 06/24/13. It did not include information about giving treatments in public areas. The facility practice was discussed and he said they have been doing it for a couple of years, not for the therapist's convenience, but for the resident. He felt it decreased confusion by not dragging residents back to their rooms for a treatment, and then dragging them back. He did not acknowledge a violation of privacy by giving breathing treatments in public. |
