F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and medical record review the facility failed to provide timely notification to the physician for one resident (#17) out of two residents, who were dependent on staff for total enteral nutritional support by way of a gastrostomy tube and enteral feedings, related to a significant weight loss of 38.6 pounds within a 26 day period. Findings included: On 02/07/23 9:40 a.m. Resident #17 was observed lying flat in his bed with the head of the bed (HOB) flat. He was receptive to an interview when approached. The resident's stomach was exposed revealing a gastrostomy tube that was attached to a enteral feeding machine. The machine was turned on and a bottle of Glucerna 1.2 was observed to be hanging with the pump running at 100 cc (cubic centimeters) per hour. At that time, a certified nursing assistant entered the room and said he was going to provide the resident with his morning activities of daily living (ADLs). On 02/07/2023 at 10:13 a.m. Resident #17 stated, I had loose stools, an indicated that happened a few days a week. The enteral machine remained running with the HOB flat. The resident denied any discomfort when asked and was able to utilize the bed control and elevated his head to a 20-degree angle. Resident #17 confirmed he had lost weight and denied it was planned. He said he did not understand why he had lost weight as he confirmed he had been receiving the enteral feeding. A review of the admission Record reflected Resident #17 resided at the facility for seven years. The resident's diagnoses included a gastrostomy feeding tube, dysphagia, oropharyngeal and pharyngoesophageal phase, esophageal obstruction, gastritis, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, and unspecified psychosis. Review of a Nutritional Risk Evaluation dated 2/6/23 revealed Resident #17 had weights taken by the facility and documented on 08/08/2022 the resident weighed 232 pounds (lbs); on 10/10/2022 the resident weighed 233.2 lbs; on 11/11/2022 the resident weighed 234 lbs; and on 12/05/2022 the resident weighed at 195.6 lbs. The resident had a significant weight loss of 36.4 lbs in three months indicating a 15% loss and 38.4 lbs in one month or a 16% loss.

Receptive to changing to continuous feeding as he prefers to stay in bed. Nutrition Interventions: Noted moderate protein calorie malnutrition as evidenced by mild loss of fat (loss of orbital fat pads, prominent eyebrow bone) and moderate muscled loss (protruding clavicle, bilateral temporal wasting). The RD (Registered Dietician) assessment did not identify a possible cause that could have contributed to a significant weight loss. There was no reference to lab values or medication changes that could have reflected an infection the resident's body was fighting. Prior enteral feeding physician orders, dated 06/17/2021, read as: Four times a day Enteral Feed: Glucerna 1.2 calorie (cal) 8 oz (ounce) ARC Bolus Peg Tube. Administer 474 milliliter (ml) bolus (2 cartons) 4 times a day per 24 hours during waking hours. Total Volume to infuse 1896 ml/24 hour (hr.) for a total of 2280 cal per day. The order was discontinued on 12/05/2022. Findings revealed Resident #17 had received this order of enteral feeding for 18 months without a significant weight change noted. On 12/05/2022 new physician orders for the enteral feeding read as: Glucerna 1.2 at 100ml/hr. x 20 hr for 2000 ml formula daily. A Nutrition Risk Evaluation, Monthly note written by the Registered Dietitian (RD), dated 02/06/2023, read: Weight Status: Current weight 02/06/2023 at 202.4 No significant (sig) weight change in 1 month but 13.5% loss in 3 months and 12.8 % loss in 6 months. On 02/08/2023 at 1:30 p.m. an interview was conducted with the facility's Registered Dietitian (RD) who confirmed her progress note had said Resident #17 was getting his enteral feeding as ordered at two cartons 4 times a day. She said she looked back at his records and denied he had any nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that would have attributed to a significant weight change. The RD stated, He is receiving 2400 calories, verse the 2280 calories before. She confirmed Resident #17 was not on a weight loss diet nor did he desire to lose weight. She said the resident told her he wanted his weight back up. The RD said she notified the Director of Nursing (DON) of the resident's weight loss during their nutrition meeting. When asked if the physician was notified of the weight loss in December 2022 she stated, I did not call the doctor, the DON calls him. The RD went on to say Resident #17 was receiving an additional 120 calories per day by a continuous 20 hour infusion. She stated, For some reason his absorption rate had changed with the bolus. The RD was asked whether an investigation had been conducted to determine why the 38.6-pound weight loss in 26 days. The RD reported the facility had the weight scales checked and labs were performed. The RD added they had checked the resident's thyroid 4 level and found it was elevated. She added the increase in the thyroid 4 level could have contributed to a weight loss. The RD confirmed she did not check the enteral feeding supply to determine if the supplies were being administered as ordered. Review of laboratory results, dated 12/30/2022, for a Thyroid panel T4 Total result 12.56 indicated it was high with a normal reference range of 6.09 to 12.23. The T3 Uptake indicated it was high at 48.7 with a normal reference range of 32.0 to 48.4.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Laboratory results on 01/12/2023 for a TSH-3rd Generation TSH showed a result of 1.779 which indicated it was within normal limits. Review of the medical record did not reveal the physician was notified of the change in condition related to the significant weight loss. Residents Affected - Few A review of the physician progress notes for Resident #17 revealed a follow up note, dated 12/06/2022. The note did not contain any documentation related to the resident's significant weight loss. A physician progress note, dated 12/13/2022, did not contain any documentation related to the resident's significant weight loss. A physician progress note, dated 12/20/2022, from the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner, did not contain any documentation related to the resident's significant weight loss. A physician progress note, dated 12/21/2022, revealed the section titled, History of Present Illness, documented the patient (Resident #17) was being seen today for evaluation and treatment of memory loss. Pt. (patient) was examined at the facility. Memory immediate, recent, and remote is poor, so is attention. Further review of medical record from 11/11/2022 to 12/05/2022 did not reveal a mental, physical, nor medication health change that would have attributed to a significant 38.6-pound weight loss in 26 days. On 02/08/2023 at 1:40 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) who confirmed they investigated the weight loss for Resident #17. On 02/08/2023 at 2:00 p.m., the DON, was asked about the resident's 38.6 lb. weight loss in 26 days, and if the physician had been notified. The DON stated, I thought the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) put a note in. On 02/08/2023 at 2:46 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), who reported there had been no investigation related to Resident #17's significant weight loss. The RD, who was present, said after they changed his tube feeding to a continuous infusion, he started to gain weight back, so they did not feel a gastrointestinal (GI) consult was needed. At the time, the NHA confirmed it should have been reported as an adverse event. On 02/08/2023 at 3:41 p.m. a copy of the facility policy was provided on notification of a change in condition. The NHA stated, We did not do an investigation related to his weight loss. We changed his order and saw a positive response. Which resulted in a weight gain. So, it did not trigger an investigation because the change in the order caused him to regain weight. She additionally stated, [Resident #17] knew how much he was supposed to get and confirmed it was provided. On 02/09/2023 at approximately 9:00 a.m. the facility provided a copy of a physician progress note, dated 12/20/2022. The progress note was not in Resident #17's paper or electronic record the day prior. This additional progress note indicated the resident had been seen by the ANRP and the Primary Physician on 12/20/2022.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm weight loss, periodically followed by speech therapy. A [AGE] year-old male patient seen in nursing facility for a follow up He has a PEG, and has been losing weight 233 lbs. 10/10/22 to 196 on 12/5. staff contacted me and I asked for them to discontinue the bolus feeding and do continuous to see if better tolerated higher volume. Since then, he had gained about 3 lbs. as of 12/12, and increased to 199 lbs. on 12/19. The progress note was electronically signed 02/08/2023. Residents Affected - Few On 02/09/2023 at 10:07 a.m. a phone interview was conducted with Resident #17's physician, who confirmed he knew the resident. The Physician said the facility had called him yesterday (02/08/2023) and requested his progress note from 12/20/2022. He confirmed the progress note dated from 12/20/2022 and electronically signed on 02/08/2023. He again confirmed he was late in getting the progress note to the facility. When asked about the 38.6 pound weight loss within a 26 day period he stated, Am suspicious in general a lot of times. Of not trusting in data that was fixed by the numbers, not making sense. He said he had put in an intervention. I think at that time he was feeling overly full, his stomach was upset, he has an esophageal stricture. When asked why the documentation of residuals did not reflect an increase in residuals during that time frame, he did not respond to the question. He confirmed the facility had called him and he was notified of the weight loss. The physician was asked how a resident that is totally dependent on staff to provide all of his nutritional and enteral feeding could have lost 38.6 pounds within a short period of time. The physician went on to say it could have been from COVID. He said a significant weight change could have been attributed to the resident getting COVID during their outbreak in October 2022. Further medical record review reflected Resident #17 had tested positive for COVID on 01/06/2022. Resident #17 was then tested in October 2022, during their outbreak, and on 10/18/2022 he tested negative. Review of a facility policy titled, Notification of Resident/Patient Change in Condition, effective October 2021, revealed: Nurses will notify the resident/resident representative, if there is a crucial/significant change in the resident condition. If the change in the resident's condition is not crucial or significant, the resident's Physician, resident representative or legal representative will be notified at the earliest convenient time during regular business hours. Procedure 1. Notify the Physician resident/resident representative, and case management when indicated, if there is a significant change in condition, regardless of the time of day . 2. Document the Nurses' Notes, the time notification was made and the names of the persons to whom you spoke.

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 personal privacy was maintained for one resident (#34) out of 22 residents sampled. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: An interview and observation was conducted at 9:10 a.m. on 02/07/2023 with Resident #34. Resident #34 was observed well-groomed, sitting up in her wheelchair watching TV. During the room observation it was observed that Resident #34's room door was off the hinges and could not close shut to give Resident #34 privacy. Resident #34 said she did not like that her room door was not able to close shut because whenever a CNA (certified nursing assistant) provides her with personal care, she feels like someone can walk in her room and see her getting dressed. Resident #34 said her room door has not been able to shut close for a while, and she has reported her concerns to the CNAs, but nothing had been done about it. Review of the admission Record revealed Resident # 34 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unspecified, acute pulmonary edema, muscle wasting and atrophy, and acquired absence of right leg above knee. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], Section C- Cognitive Patterns showed Resident #34's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of a 14, indicating intact cognition. On 02/09/2023 at 9:08 a.m. an interview was conducted with Staff A, CNA. Staff A stated Resident #34's door hasn't been able to shut for months. Staff A said that despite letting someone in Administration know about Resident #34's door, nothing was done. Staff A said when helping Resident #34 with her ADLs (activities of daily living), she places a bedside table in front of the door so that no one can walk in. On 02/09/2023 at 11:46 a.m. an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director. He confirmed that he was responsible for most of the repairs inside the building. He further confirmed that he did not fix Resident #34's door until Life Safety conducted their inspection and told him that Resident #34's door needed to be repaired. Review of the facility policy titled, Resident admission Agreement, Right [NAME] of Rights, dated 1/2012, showed: (19) - You have the right to personal privacy and confidentiality of your personal and clinical records. Personal privacy includes privacy in accommodations, medical treatment, written and telephone communications, personal care, visits, and meetings of family and residential groups, but this does not require facility to provide a private room.

On 02/10/2023 at 11:14 a.m. an interview was conducted with Staff F, RN and she said she has known Resident #1 for over thirteen years. She said Resident #1 gets frustrated when asked to lay in on his side. He has limited ability to turn, and his skin is thin, and it easily breaks down. When asked about the resident's ordered skin graft she stated, It will benefit him. The areas would be closed; that way he will have a less chance for infection. She confirmed he was on an antibiotic just in December 2022 as his wounds to the buttock had developed an odor. Staff F said that way he would be able to get out of his bed and room more frequently. She stated I think it will help him more mentally too. Staff F stated, He likes to talk with other peers and enjoys leaving his room. She confirmed since the wounds developed; he was not able to get out of his bed. If he does, its only for a short period of time. Staff F confirmed she was responsible for performing weekly wound rounds with the DON, and stated, We all make rounds together. She said part of the process includes calling the family and updating them on the wounds and progress. Staff F said that she would talk with Resident #1's [Representative] weekly. She said the [Representative] had requested an order for a pig skin graft. She told me she knew someone that had one and it was successful. Staff F, said on 12/23/2022 I called for the authorization for the graft, and that included paperwork that had to be filled out and signed by the [Representative], Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner, and the primary Physician. Staff F said the paperwork and required signatures were completed on 01/12/2023, and that same day she faxed the paperwork to [State Agency] for prior authorization. She added on 01/18/2023 she resent the information a second time to [State Agency] to make sure it was received. Staff F said that she is still waiting for a call back. She then went on to say she had been on a medical leave of absence and came to the facility today after the DON had called her. She said her last day of work was on 01/25/2023, and confirmed, as of today, she was not sure if there had been a call back from the [State Agency] with an authorization.
