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 provide services according to professional
standards for one of three sampled residents (Resident1) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 1's baseline care plan (a basic initial care plan created for a patient upon admission to a
healthcare facility, outlining the most essential care needs and instructions until a more comprehensive
care plan can be developed) related to dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) and tube feeding (a flexible tube
inserted through nose or belly to provide nutrients) were not developed in a timely manner;
2. Nurses did not notify dietitian or the attending physician when Resident 1 was admitted with tube feeding
formula not in facility stocks; and
3. Licensed vocational nurse A (LVN A) signed the IV ATB administered by a registered nurse (RN) for
Resident 1.
These failures had the potential to compromise Resident 1's quality of care.
Findings:
1. Review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, admission Record, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm (primary cancer) of esophagus (a muscular
tube that moves food from the throat to the stomach), secondary malignant neoplasm (a primary cancer
that has spread to other parts of the body) of unspecified lung, liver, intrahepatic bile duct, and digestive
organs, severe protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition that occurs when the body doesn't get enough
protein, calories, and other nutrients), dysphagia, and gastrostomy status (GT - a surgical opening fitted
with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with
swallowing problems).
Review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, 48 HR BASELINE CARE PLAN, indicated, the
dietary/nutritional status plan of care was completed by the registered dietitian (RD) on 7/8/2024, 72 hours
after admission. Further review of the baseline care plan indicated Resident 1's problem with dysphagia
and use of tube feeding were developed on 7/10/2024, 5 days after Resident 1's admission.
During a concurrent interview with registered dietitian E (RD E), and record review on 10/31/2024 at 1:02
p.m., RD E reviewed Resident 1's baseline care plan and list of care plans. RD E stated baseline care
planning should be done 48 hours upon resident's admission. RD E did not validate the other RD's
nutritional baseline care plan's completion date. RD E stated, I did not want to speak for the

Residents Affected - Few
During interview with assistant director of nursing B (ADON B) on 12/23/2024 at 11:06 a.m., ADON B
stated, the admission nurse should have initiated resident's care plan especially if there was an order for
tube feeding due to dysphagia.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Care Plans - Baseline, date revised December
2016, indicated, To assure that the resident's immediate care needs are met and maintained, a baseline
care plan will be developed within forty-eight (48) hours of the resident's admission. The Interdisciplinary
Team [IDT - a group of health care professionals from diverse fields who work toward a common goal for
residents] will review the healthcare practitioner's orders ( .dietary needs, medications .) and implement a
baseline care plan to meet the resident's immediate care needs including but not limited to: .Dietary orders
.The baseline care plan will be used until the staff can conduct the comprehensive assessment and
develop an interdisciplinary person-centered care plan.
2. During a phone interview with Resident 1's family member (FM) on 10/31/2024 at 10:49 a.m., Resident
1's FM stated the facility was supposed to provide Resident 1's formula for tube feeding. Resident 1's FM
further stated, Resident 1 was admitted in the evening of 7/5/2024 and she learned that the facility did not
have the tube feeding formula ordered for Resident 1. Resident 1's FM went back to the hospital and asked
for the tube feeding formula. Resident 1's FM stated the hospital provided four bottles. Resident 1's FM
further stated the facility staff told her that they would order the formula, but it would take time for it to be
delivered.

the supervisor, or the admitting nurse should have called the registered dietitian (RD) if the ordered formula
was not available to obtain an alternative.
During an interview with assistant director of nursing G (ADON G) on 10/31/2024 at 3:06 p.m., ADON G
stated nurses have a list of formula alternatives that the RD had provided to them. ADON G further stated,
the admitting nurse should have called the RD if the alternative in the list was appropriate for Resident 1's
use and they should have called the physician to get an order.
During an interview with assistant director of nursing B (ADON B) on 12/23/2024 at 11:06 a.m., ADON B
stated nurses should have called the doctor upon Resident 1's admission to get an order for an alternative
formula for tube feeding. ADON B further stated, the RD should have been called as well.
Review of Resident 1's Nutrition/Dietary Progress Notes, dated 7/10/2024, indicated the new tube feeding
formula with same calorie and protein contents from the previously ordered formula was just

licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of
residents when:
1. Licensed nurses did not administer the ordered intravenous (IV, to deliver a medication into a vein)
antibiotic (ATB, a medicine that inhibits the growth of or destroys bacteria) in a timely manner as
documented for three of three sampled residents (Residents 1, 2 and 3); and
2. Licensed nurse used other resident's normal saline (NS - a sterile solution containing 0.9% sodium
chloride [salt] in water) to mix the Vancomycin for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1).
These failures resulted in medication not given to Resident's 1, 2, and 3 as per their scheduled time and
had a potential to affect their health and safety.
Findings:
1a. Review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, admission Record, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm (primary cancer) of esophagus (a
muscular tube that moves food from the throat to the stomach), secondary malignant neoplasm (a primary
cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) of unspecified lung, liver, intrahepatic bile duct, and
digestive organs, severe protein-calorie malnutrition (a condition that occurs when the body doesn't get
enough protein, calories, and other nutrients), dysphagia, and gastrostomy status (a surgical opening fitted
with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with
swallowing problems).
Review of Resident 1's clinical record titled, Order Summary Report, indicated an order of Vancomycin (a
type of ATB) 500 milligrams (mg - unit of measurement) thru IV every 12 hours for infection. Further review

During a concurrent interview with licensed vocational nurse A (LVN A) and record review on 10/31/2024 at
1:37 p.m., LVN A reviewed Resident 1's July medication administration record (MAR) and nursing progress
notes. LVN A confirmed Resident 1 was on his care on 7/11 and 7/12/2024. LVN A confirmed the first dose
of Vancomycin was administered at 10:28 p.m. on 7/11 and the second dose was administered on
7/12/2024 at around 12:00 p.m. as documented in the progress note. LVN A stated both administration
times were late. LVN A further stated nurses had a window period to administer the medication which was
one hour before or one hour after the medication due time. LVN A confirmed whatever was documented
was the real time the medication was administered. LVN A confirmed the Vancomycin was not available on
7/12/2024 at 6:00 a.m.
During a concurrent interview with director of nursing (DON) and record review on 10/31/2024 at 2:23 p.m.,
