F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, for one of 25 (Resident 5) sampled residents, the facility failed to inform and provide information to the residents and/or the resident representatives, the option to formulate an advance directive (a legal document in which a person specifies what actions should be taken for their health if they are no longer able to make a decision for themselves because of illness or incapacity). This failure had the potential to result in delay of the treatment directions to healthcare providers regarding Resident 5's medical care. Findings: Review of the Resident Face Sheet, printed 10/8/19, indicated Resident 5 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. During a review of the medical record for Resident 5, the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form, signed 11/4/18, indicated Section D - Information and Signatures regarding Advance Directives was left unanswered. Review of Resident 5's significant change in status Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool used to direct care), dated 6/26/19, indicated the advance directive section was not completed. Review of a document titled Social Services Assessment, dated 11/7/18, indicated Resident 5 did not have an advance directive. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 10/08/19 at 11:55 a.m., she showed that the advance directive question had been marked no on the Social Services Assessment document dated 11/7/18. SSD stated although she marked Resident 5 did not have an advance directive, she did not document that she had informed Resident 5 and his resident representative (RR) of the pros and cons of an advance directive. SSD was unable to show documentation that Resident 5 and his RR were offered an opportunity to develop one. SSD was not able to show documentation in the Interdisciplinary Team notes that the advance directive had been discussed with Resident 5 and his RR. Review of facility's policy and procedure titled Advanced Healthcare Directives, revised 2/2017, indicated, .I. Upon admission, admission Staff or designee will inform the resident of his/her right to execute an Advance Healthcare Directive. X.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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, for one of 25 sampled residents (Resident 73), the facility failed to provide care and services for feeding tubes. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 lowered Resident 73's head of the bed to the flat position to provide personal hygiene care while Resident 73's enteral feeding (nutrition taken through the mouth or through a tube that goes directly to the stomach or small intestine) was being administered through the G-Tube (Gastrostomy Tube - a tube inserted through the belly that brings nutrition directly to the stomach) via a pump. For Resident 73, this failure had the potential to result in aspiration (inhalation) of the feeding formula and lead to aspiration pneumonia (a lung infection that develops after aspirating food, liquid, or vomit into the lungs). Findings: Review of Resident 73's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool used to guide care) indicated Resident 73 was severely impaired of cognitive skills, required one to two-person assistance for dressing and personal hygiene, and had a feeding tube for nutrition. Review of Resident 73's physician orders for October 2019 indicated an order for Resident 73 to receive .Jevity 1.5 (enteral feeding formula) at 55 milliliters (mLs) per hour via pump for 20 hours via G-Tube on at 2 p.m. and off at 10 a.m. or continue enteral feeding infusion until total volume is infused to provide 1100 mLs The physician's order also indicated instructions to Elevate head of bed 30-45 degrees while tube feeding is on. During an observation on 10/7/19, at 8:44 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2 provided hygiene care to Resident 73 with the head of bed in the flat position. Resident 73's enteral feeding pump was on and administering the enteral feeding formula during the care. Resident 73 began to cough and CNA 2 said Oh you got a cough. CNA 2 completed Resident 73's hygiene care and then raised Resident 73's head of the head of the bed. During an interview with CNA 2 on 10/7/19, at 8:50 a.m., CNA 2 stated they did not inform the licensed nurse that hygiene care was to be provided to Resident 73. During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 on 10/7/19, at 9:26 a.m., LVN 2 stated the tube feed pump needed to be turned off when Resident 73's head of bed was flat during hygiene care. LVN 2 stated they was not aware that CNA 2 went to clean Resident 73 and that Resident 73 was coughing. LVN 2 confirmed the pump was still running and would be shut off at 10 a.m. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Enteral Feeding - Closed with a revised date of 1/1/12, indicated .5.

Findings: During the initial tour observation of the kitchen and concurrent interview with the Dietary Aide 1 (DA 1) on 10/7/19 at 8:04 a.m., multiple stacked pink-colored plastic cups and mini trays, and blue-colored water pitcher lids were stored wet inside the cupboard. DA 1 stated dishes needed to be fully air-dried before they were stored in the cupboard. In an interview with the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS) on 10/8/19 at 11:16 a.m., DSS stated dishes should be racked loosely and air-dried completely for safer storage to prevent microorganism growth.
