Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and
provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the gastrostomy tube (GT, a
tube surgically inserted for the administration of medications and nourishment) was verified for placement
for one sampled resident (Resident 61) prior to administration of medications.
This failure had the potential to place Resident 61 at risk for complications such as aspiration (a condition in
which stomach content enter the lungs) and peritonitis (inflammation of the inside wall of the abdomen) and
place the resident's health and safety at risk.

is her expectation for staff to check GT placement before med administration. She also stated this is
important to ensure medication is administered in the stomach and not anywhere the abdomen.
During an interview on June 9, 2022, at 11:40 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), she stated that LVN
1 came to her earlier and informed her that she forgot to check GT placement during the medication
observation for Resident 61.
During a concurrent interview and record review of the facility's Administering Medications through an
Enteral Tube, on June 9, 2022, at 11:41 AM, with the DON, she stated the facility's policy and procedure on
administration of medications using GT was not followed.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P), titled Administering Medications through an
Enteral Tube, revised November 2018, the P&P indicated, Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the established resident
meal menu was followed by the facility kitchen for the residents' lunch on June 8, 2022, for nine out of nine
residents (Residents 12, 125, 122, 8, 19, 51, 66, 32, & 14) with diet orders for pureed texture (a type of
modified diet that turns the shape and structure of food into a consistency similar to pudding and mashed
potatoes).
This failure resulted in all the residents with pureed texture diet orders not receiving their full serving of
facility-prepared lunch, according to the facility's established menu for June 8, 2022.
Findings:
During an observation on June 8, 2022, at 11:36 AM, within the facility's kitchen, kitchen staff were
preparing to commence tray line (systematic process described as serving and preparing meal plates and
trays from heated food containers) to begin preparing the residents' lunch meal plates and trays for
distribution.
During an observation on June 8, 2022, at 12:48 PM, with the Director of Dietary Services (DDS), the DDS
provided two resident lunch meal test trays for tasting, temperature and texture verification with the
Surveyor. Per observation and verification with the DDS, one lunch meal test tray was prepared as a regular
texture meal (meal was not modified in any way to change the shape or texture of the meal), and the
second lunch meal test tray was prepared as a pureed texture meal.
During a concurrent observation and interview on June 8, 2022, at 12:55 PM, with the DDS, it was
observed that the puree-prepared resident lunch meal test tray was missing the Wheat Roll menu item,
while the Wheat Roll menu item was available for the regular texture resident lunch meal test tray. The DDS
observed and compared the two respective meal trays and stated the Wheat Roll menu item was missing
for all the puree-prepared resident lunch meal trays that were just served for the residents' lunch. An
observation of the facility kitchen staff preparing and/or serving the pureed Wheat Roll menu item for the
puree-prepared resident lunch meal trays was not recalled during the kitchen's tray line observation. The
DDS stated the facility usually included the bread roll menu item for the puree-prepared resident meals, as
per the menu. The DDS further stated the bread roll menu item for the pureed resident meals was missed
for the lunch meals just prepared and served to the residents. The DDS further stated all facility prepared
and served resident meals have to be the same, while following their indicated and ordered meal textures.
During a review of the facility menu titled, Good for Your Health Menus, dated between June 6, 2022

a result of lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells depriving oxygen and vital nutrient which cause
parts of the brain to die off) affecting left non-dominant side and atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat that
often causes the heart to beat too quickly and the risk of the development of blood clots).
During a record review of Resident 67's Laboratory and Pathology Services, collected on May 5, 2020, at
6:54 PM, indicated elevated results. Resident 67's PT was 20.3 and INR 1.82 (normal range PT 11.8 to
13.8 and INR 0.90 to 1.10, elevated results could cause blood clots in the brain, lungs, heart, and death). It
did not indicate that PT/ INR results were reported to the physician.

clean plastic bag from HSKP 1. The HSKP 1 handed a plastic bag from her cart to CHHA 1 without
changing her gloves. CHHA 1 placed a backpack in the plastic bag.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview with CHHA 1, on June 8, 2022, at 12:04 PM, CHHA 1 stated, I asked for a clean plastic
bag to place my personal items before going inside the resident's room.
During an interview with HSKP 1, on June 8, 2022, at 12:06 PM, HSKP 1 stated, I just finished cleaning the
room and collected the trash, but I did not change my gloves before giving her a clean plastic bag. She
further stated, I know I have to make sure my hands are clean or change my gloves before touching clean
items to prevent the cross contamination.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) in the
DON's office, on June 9, 2022, at 2:32 PM, the DON stated, Handwashing is very important to prevent the
spread of infection. The IPN stated, Hand hygiene is very important to avoid spreading of disease. If not
doing properly, it could cause infection to somebody. The IPN further stated that every time a staff touch
things from dirty to clean, staff should get or use a new gloves or do hand washing.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, revised on August 2019,
indicated, The facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread of infection.
4. During an observation on June 9, 2022, at 12:32 PM, in the [NAME] Zone hallway, LVN 1 was wearing
N95 mask (a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient
filtration of airborne particles) and face shield. LVN 1's N95 was down to her chin. Her mouth and nose
were exposed while preparing the medications in front of room [ROOM NUMBER].
During an observation and concurrent interview with LVN 1, on June 9, 2022, at 12:35 PM, in front of room
[ROOM NUMBER], LVN 1's N95 was still down on her chin. The LVN 1 stated, I am not comfortable in
wearing this because I can't breathe, and I feel dizzy. The LVN 1 further stated, I take responsibility of
whatever federal or state regulations that I'm not following, and I know the consequence of not properly
wearing the face mask. There's no COVID infection in this room so I think it's okay to put this down because
I can't take this anymore.
During an interview with IPN, on June 10, 2022, at 10:18 AM, the IPN stated, All staff should be wearing
face masks at all times when they are in the facility except when they are in private area where there's no
residents or other staffs, especially the COVID positivity rate here in [County] is high that's why we require
the staffs to wear N95 instead of surgical face mask for more protection. The IPN further stated, We don't
have a staff here that has medical condition that may prevent him or her to wear a face mask at all times.
But if the staff is wearing a face shield, it's okay if staff has no face mask because I believe there's a
guideline that it's okay to wear a face shield only because COVID is not a droplet precaution. And if you're
wearing a face shield and no face mask, the particles will not go on the side because the mouth is covered
by the face shield. Wearing a face

Equipment policy and procedure (P&P), on June 8, 2022, at 11:06 AM, with the Infection Preventionist
Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated these respiratory supplies/equipment should be dated for staff to know when to
replace them and staff were expected to monitor and put them inside a labeled plastic bag when not in use.

risk for infection and cross contamination. IPN further stated the facility's policy and procedure was not
followed in this instance.

Yellow Zone [Resident under isolation observation for suspected COVID-19 (an infectious disease that will
cause respiratory illness)].
3. Housekeeping Staff (HSKP 1) did not perform hand hygiene after cleaning resident's room and before
touching clean plastic bag in the Yellow Zone.
4. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) failed to properly wear face covering while preparing medications and
during closed contact with visitors in the [NAME] Zone (a designated area with residents that have not had
recent exposure from COVID-19, cleared from previous COVID-19 diagnosis, or have completed
observation period without symptoms and with a negative test) hallway.
5. Resident 168's used nasal canula (NC- a tubing to deliver oxygen in small amount through nostrils)
connected to the portable oxygen tank and nebulizer (a device producing a fine spray of liquid, used for
example for inhaling a medicine) mask were not properly labeled and stored per facility's policy.
