During an observation and interview on 7/23/24 at 4:51 P.M. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 52 and LN 53, LN 52
stated she believed the kangaroo pump machine could store tube feed volume data for about 24 hours. LN
52 pressed the back button to review the previous tube feed amount received but the machine did not
display the last formula volume from Resident 18's tube feeding. LN 53 also tried to turn on the kangaroo
pump to check the last tube feed amount. LN 53 stated the kangaroo pump could store up to 72 hours of
formula volume. LN 53 stated the nurses only run the daily volume from 4pm for 10 hours until the 701 mls
are pumped. LN 53 stated the nurses do not document the daily intake amounts because they rely on the
72-hour kangaroo pump machine. LN 53 stated there could be potential concerns in the future if asked to
provide formula intake amounts from months ago.
During an interview on 7/23/24 at 4:38 P.M. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 51, LN 51 stated she typically starts
the kangaroo pump machine for Resident 18's tube feeding at around 4 PM. LN 51 stated that she would
press the on/off button to turn the machine 'on', then pressed 'start' to get the pump going. LN 51 then
stated she makes sure the display reads 0 before she hangs a full bottle of the Jevity 1.5 formula. LN 51
stated she does not know how to fully check the kangaroo pump machine to determine how much formula
Resident 18 had previously received because the machine is always off when she gets to work. LN 51
further stated she was a new employee that worked at the facility less than three months and had not
received training on how to use the kangaroo pump.
During a review of the facility's undated document titled Nutrition Service Tube Feeding and Supplement
List indicated .[Resident 18] GT .cc's (cubic centimeters for liquid volume)/day- 701, Cals(calories)/day 1052 .
During a review Resident 18's G-Tube Feeding, Flushing, and Position Verification Record Form 334B,
dated 2/1/23, for April-August 2024, indicated the nursing staff initials on each day for shifts 11-7 AM, 7-3
PM, and 3-11 PM by licensed nurses but does not include input or output fluid volume amounts.
During an interview with LN 54 on 7/25/24 at 1:54 P.M., LN 54 stated when she does rounds on the
residents, she checks all GT feedings and the history in the kangaroo pump for the last 24 hours. LN 54
also stated she checks to see if the total volume given was infused, and if not, then she will find the
outgoing nurse to report it in the Medication Activity Record (MAR). LN 54 stated she initials the resident's
tube feed report record each day. She said the intake/output record document is used if the resident is on
antibiotics or fluid restricted. LN 54 further stated she doesn't think the machine can provide a history of
infused volume for more than 72 hours.
During an interview on 7/25/24 at 2:55 P.M. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the ADON
stated residents are weighed initially on admission, and monthly. Weight variances are referred to the RD
so they could adjust the food, formula, calories, CC's, etc. The ADON stated GT kangaroo pumps have a
total volume infused record, even for the water. The ADON stated if something is wrong with the machine or
feeding, nurses will inform the MD. The ADON further stated The machine is not perfect, but it is important
for the nurses to know how to operate the machine and to track the tube feeding formula volume. The
ADON the nurses should be using the I&O (Input and Output) form to track the volume because the
kangaroo pump only stores limited data up to a few days. Once they decide the appropriate weight for the
resident, it is the duty of nurses to make sure the residents are getting the calories and volume they need.
A review of the tube feed formula [Manufacturer's name] nutrient profile for Jevity 1.5 indicated a 1000 mL
bottle provided 1500 calories, 63.8 grams of protein, and # 760 cc's of water.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure:
Residents Affected - Some
1. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for Enhanced Barrier Precautions
(EBPs, an infection control intervention using protective gowns and gloves) were implemented for 26 of 29
residents, and,
2. A Licensed Nurse (LN 1) used appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE - gloves, gown, masks
and other equipment used to control the spread of infection) when administering tube feeding (a
replacement food source, administered through a tube directly into the stomach or intestines) to Resident
88, whose room was posted as requiring EBP.
These failures had the potential to result in the spread of Multiple Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs,
microorganisms, mainly bacteria, that are highly resistant to many types of antibiotics) throughout the
facility.
FINDINGS:
1. On 7/22/24 beginning at 8 A.M. observations were conducted of all nursing units.
Of 156 residents, 29 residents were identified with indwelling medical devices, such as
feeding tubes and urinary catheters (a tube used to empty the bladder and collect urine in a drainage bag).
Of the 29 residents identified, 26 were not on EBP.
During an interview on 7/22/24 at 1:45 P.M. with Supervisor Nurse (SN) 41, SN 41 stated not all residents
met the EBP criteria. SN 41 stated the physician and the Infection Preventionist (IP) determined who will be
placed on EBP.
During an interview on 7/23/24 at 11 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 22, CNA 22 stated EBP
meant a cabinet containing extra gowns and gloves would be placed outside of the resident room for staff
to wear, but EBP was only for residents with COVID (a contagious disease).
On 7/23/24 at 4:13 P.M., an interview with Licensed Nurse (LN) 11 was conducted outside Resident 106's
room. LN 11 stated Resident 106 was not on EBP. Per LN 11, Resident 106 had recently been hospitalized
, had an infection related to the feeding tube, and was on antibiotics (anti-infective medications).
On 7/24/24 at 9 A.M., an interview with CNA 13 was conducted. CNA 13 stated the IP or charge nurse
would place a sign by the resident's door if staff had to use PPE when providing resident care.
On 7/24/24 at 11:08 A.M., an interview was conducted with LN 12. LN 12 stated the facility had a process
using an assessment tool. Per LN 12, the assessment criteria for a resident to be placed in EBP included:
returned from the hospital, had history of candida auris (fungal organism) or carbapenem resistant
organism (an antibiotic-resistant infection), were hospitalized for a significant MDRO exposure and had a
medical device. Per LN 12, the residents would have to meet the criteria before they were placed on EBP.
