**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy and procedure (P&P) for
oxygen (gas that supports life) therapy for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 31), when oxygen was
administered to Resident 31 without a physician's order for it. This failure resulted in Resident 31 receiving
oxygen without a physician's order.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of Resident 31's face sheet (a document that gives a resident's information at a quick glance)
indicated Resident 31 admitted to facility on 3/25/2024. Review of Resident's admission diagnoses included
renal cell carcinoma (type of kidney cancer), metastatic cancer of spine (cancer cells spread to spine [back
bone] from elsewhere in the body), severe anemia (a condition when decreased red blood cells cannot
provide sufficient oxygen to body), and palliative care (specialized form of care that provides symptom
relief, comfort, and support to residents living with serious illnesses).
Review of Resident 31's current physician's orders indicated there was no order for oxygen. Further review
of Resident's 31's discontinued orders indicated order for oxygen was discontinued on 5/20/2024.
Review of Resident 31's minimum data set (MDS, clinical and functional assessment tool) assessment
dated [DATE] indicated Resident 31's brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score was 15 (0-7 = severe
cognitive impairment, 8-12 = moderate cognitive impairment, 13-15 = intact cognition)
During an observation on 6/24/2024 at 10:27 a.m., Resident 31 was receiving oxygen via nasal canula (NC,
a thin, flexible tube that delivers oxygen to the resident's nose). Further observation of the wall mounted
oxygen flow meter indicated the oxygen rate was set at 2 liters/minute (2l/min, measurement of oxygen flow
to deliver) for Resident 31.
During an interview with Resident 31 on 6/24/2024 at 10:27 a.m., Resident 31 stated she used oxygen
since she was admitted to facility.
During a second observation on 6/25/2024 at 9:18 a.m., Resident 31 was receiving oxygen via NC, and the
oxygen rate was set at 2l/min.
During an interview with registered nurse G (RN G) on 6/27/2024 at 2:50 p.m., RN G confirmed Resident
31 was receiving oxygen, and that there was no physician order for oxygen for Resident 31. RN G stated
nursing should not administer oxygen to a resident without physician's order. RN G also stated a licensed
nurse should have verified that an active physicians order was in place for oxygen before administering
oxygen to Resident 31.
During an interview with chief nursing officer (CNO) on 6/28/2024 at 10;14 a.m., CNO acknowledged an
order for oxygen was discontinued on 5/20/2024, and there was no active order for oxygen for Resident 31.
CNO stated the licensed nurse should not have administered oxygen without physician's order for oxygen.
CNO further stated the licensed nurse should have verified that an active order for oxygen from a physician
was in place before administering oxygen for Resident 31, according to the facility's policy for oxygen
therapy.

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition
service.
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure food and nutrition services
staff carried out the functions of food and nutrition service competently according to facility policy and
standards of practice when:
1. Two kitchen staff were unable to properly test the dish machine sanitizer solution concentration.
2. Kitchen staff did not correctly verbalize the cool down process for cooked foods.
3. Kitchen staff did not wash melons prior to cutting.
These failures had the potential to expose residents to bacterial contamination, that can result in food borne
illnesses for all residents who consume food from the kitchen.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent kitchen observation and interview on 6/24/24 at 10:41 a.m. with Dietary AideDishwasher (DSW) E demonstrated how to test the concentration of the sanitation solution for the dish
machine. After DSW E washed multiple loads of dishes through the dish machine, DSW E dipped a test
strip (used to detect the concentration of chemical sanitizing solution) in the dish machine solution tank.
DSW E then compared the test strip to a container with multiple shade colors of green and blue, and stated
the strip was greenish-blue and it was between 100-200. The Dietary Manager (DM) acknowledged DSW E
did not correctly describe the normal sanitizer range for the dish machine solution.
During a concurrent kitchen observation and interview on 6/24/24 at 1:45 p.m. with [NAME] (CK) I and the
DM, CK I stated, it was his second time to wash dishes. CK I demonstrated how to check the sanitizer of
the dish machine. CK I dipped a test strip in the solution inside the dish machine and compared the strip on
its color-coded container label to check the level of sanitizer. CK I stated the strip color should be about
200. The DM acknowledged the test process by CK I and stated, We test the source (solution from the dish
machine).
Review of the facility document titled Food Safety Management System .D8 Cleaning and Sanitizing Food
Contact Surfaces, dated 4/1/22, indicated, .A low temperature dish machine, must have a minimum 50 -100
ppm concentration of chlorine at the plate surface, verified by a chlorine test strip .
2. During an interview on 6/24/24 at 3:34 p.m. with CK B, CK B stated, the cool down process is four hours.
CK B stated, the first two hours is from 180 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (F, unit of temperature measurement)
and then from 80 F to 38-40 F in another two hours.
According to the 2022 Federal FDA Food Code, Section 3-501.14, The Cool Down process occurs because
bacteria rapidly grow between the temperatures of 40 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Therefore,
the cool down process is a method to prevent bacteria growth by safely reducing the temperature of cooked
and prepared foods for later consumption. The Food Code identifies cooling as an essential control
measure for food safety, particularly after cooking meats or preparing perishable foods with ingredients that
are at ambient temperatures. When cooling cooked foods, after it reaches a safe

updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure approved menus were
followed and emergency menus were developed to properly feed residents in an emergency. These failures
had the potential for the facility to not meeting Residents' nutritional needs.
Findings:
1. During an interview on 6/24/24 at 10:00 AM in the kitchen with the Dietary Manager (DM), a copy of the
facility's therapeutic menu spreadsheet was requested but the DM stated they did not use a therapeutic
menu spreadsheet. The DM stated the Cooks use a daily production tally sheet with the serving size
amounts for each food item and total number of diet meals to make on it.
A review of the facility's Regular menu titled Season's Harmony Week 5 Menu 6/23/24-6/29/24, indicated,

and the DM, the CK A used a 2-ounce ladle to scoop the orzo (a form of short-cut pasta shaped like a large
grain of rice). CK A stated he could not find a 4-oz ladle before trayline. The DM acknowledged the wrong
scoop was used by the [NAME] to serve the orzo, and stated the [NAME] should have made sure he had
the correct ladle before the trayline started.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Section 2: Diets and Menus Portion Control,
dated March 2017, indicated, . Standardized portions of food will be planned and served for all menu items
to ensure standards for nutritional content and food cost are met. 3. The correct type and size of utensils
will be used for each menu item. Scales should be available to weigh meat as needed .
2. During an interview on 6/25/24 at 1:20 p.m., the DM stated the facility would use all the existing food in
the kitchen in an emergency. The DM further stated they did not have an emergency food menu developed
but stated there was enough food in the kitchen and outdoor connex (mobile storage trailer container) with
rehydrated (meals that require water to be consumed) to feed the residents, visitors, and staff. The DM
stated they did not have a written emergency menu plan for the emergency food supplies at the facility.
During an observation and interview on 6/25/24 at 2:20 p.m. with the DM and the MPO (Manager of Plant
Operations), the large white outdoor connex had 38 cases of rehydrated meals with an expiration date
2039, and each case had six #10 cans of different rehydrated foods. The DM stated the perishable
(refrigerated) and dry foods in the kitchen would be used first during an emergency, then the cases of
rehydrated foods in the connex. The MPO stated his staff checked the rehydrated meals in the connex and
the emergency water supplies twice a year. The DM acknowledged the facility did not have a detailed
emergency menu or food plan that described how all the foods would be used for the residents on regular
and therapeutic diets to meet their nutritional needs, for all types of emergencies,
