The goals of the care plan were documented as,
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
- Resident will remain free from significant weight gain (5% /30 days, 10%/180 days) and maintain
adequate hydration thru the next review date. With a target date of 04/28/24.
Residents Affected - Few
- Resident will tolerate enteral feeding without complications thru the next review date. With a target date of
04/28/24.
Interventions to the care plan included:
- Administer treatment to peg site as per MD ordered.
- Formula: Glucerna 1.5 as ordered
- Verify tube feeding placement as ordered
- Check enteral feeding residuals as ordered
- Administer enteral feeding and flushes as ordered; observe for tolerance.
- Weights as ordered and as needed. Notify physician of significant weight changes as needed.
- Observe for complications r/t enteral feeding, aspiration, dehydration; update physician if noted.
On 02/20/24 at 9:01 AM, Resident #42 was observed in bed with the TF initiated at 65 ml/hr (milliliters per
hour). At the time of the observation, the date marked on the 1000 ml container documented it was initiated
on 02/19/24 at 2:00 PM at a rate of 65 ml/hr. There was approximately 150 milliliters remaining in the 1000
ml-container of the supplement.
At a rate of 65 ml/hr, the resident should have received approximately 1120 ml of supplement over the
19-hour period from the time the supplement was initiated.
Review of Resident #42's electronic health record (EMR) revealed no documentation to justify why the
enteral feeding was not being provided as ordered.
An interview was conducted on 02/20/24 at 4:38 PM with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Staff A
confirmed that the date marked on the container was accurate and that Staff A had administered the tube
feeding. When asked why the feeding for the resident at not set at 60 ml/hr as the order documented, Staff
A replied, Maybe I did it but that's how it was set from the last time. When asked about any reason for the
order not met (1200 ml in 20 hours), Staff A replied, For some reason, the night nurse would change it
when it runs out during the night shift. I was the one that changed it this morning. When they change the
resident, they hold her feeding. I did not get any orders that she was having any problems. Staff A further
stated that changing the resident and repositioning would take 'about 10 minutes or so.'
At the conclusion of the interview, Staff A and the surveyor went to Resident #42's room. Resident #42 was
observed in her bed with the tube feeding remaining at 65 ml/hr.

During an interview, on 02/21/24 at 7:26 AM, with Staff B, LPN, when asked about the resident's feeding
being interrupted, Staff B replied, to change her they shut it off and sometimes she will pull it apart and it is
hard to get it back on her, she fights and is combative and sometimes we can't get it back on her. When
asked if there were any incidents as described, Staff B replied, Not on my time. I know that the nurses
always complain about it. This is my second night working with her. The CNAs change her every two hours
and I have to shut it off for them. If she is fighting it will take longer. Sometimes when I go back in there, she
is fighting. Sometimes we have to wait until she calms down and have to go back in to restart it. When
asked how long the feeding would be interrupted, Staff B replied, If not fighting, maybe about 10 minutes or
so to change and reposition her. If she is fighting, sometimes we have to go back every 30 minutes.

An interview was conducted on 02/19/24 at 10:20 AM with the spouse of Resident #73 who stated she
does the wound care 3 times a day. She brings in her own supplies. The spouse stated this is her choice
because the nurses only do the wound care once a day, maybe around 2:00 (PM) and she has already
cleaned her husband and changed his wound dressing twice by then. The spouse stated she is not working
so she spends all day, every day with her husband. When asked if she had spoken to the nurses or the
physician about her choices, she said no. When asked if she has attended any care plan meetings she said
yes, but the wound care has never come up.
An interview was conducted on 02/21/24 at 9:30 AM with Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), who was
asked about Resident #73, and whether the spouse of the resident does any wound care. The LPN stated
no, the nurses do wound care daily for the resident.
An additional interview was conducted on 02/21/24 at 9:40 AM with spouse of Resident #73, who stated
she is a massage therapist, is currently not working, and spends all day every day with the resident. The
spouse was asked to clarify who is providing wound care for her husband, and stated the nurse does the
wound care once a day and she does wound care 3 additional times a day. The spouse added the Wound
Care Nurse comes once a week on Wednesdays to look at the wound, measures it, and sometimes
scrapes the wound. When asked what she is using to provide wound care for the resident, she said let me
show you. The spouse pulled items from the nightstand and laid them on the resident's bed. The items
included: Bactine Max Wound Wash that contained Benzalkonium Cl 0.13%, Wound Wash (sterile saline),
Bactine Max containing 4% Lidocaine HCL, 2 different kinds of disposable moist wipes, Witch Hazel
Alcohol 14%, Aloe gel, Triple Antibiotic ointment, Vaseline Healing Jelly (Petroleum), surgical pads, and
honeycomb gauze dry wipes. The spouse stated she cleans the wound by spraying the Bactine Max Wound

wipe, and wipes the wound out with the facility provided moist wipes that she has prepared by adding the
Hypochlorite to the wipes (a solution also known as Dakin's Solution) which she gets from the nurses at the
facility. The spouse stated she then takes a big scoop of the Vaseline Healing Jelly, fills the wound
completely, and places a surgical pad over the wound, which is held in place by the diaper. The spouse said
she wipes the resident's back with the other moist wipes she has prepared with Witch Hazel, mixes the
Aloe Gel with the Triple Antibiotic ointment, and rubs on his back, so he does not get any rashes. When
asked about the Hypochlorite solution, she said she gets that from the nurses.
An interview was conducted on 02/21/24 at 12:05 PM with Staff D, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner
(ARNP) with the Wound Care Company, who sated she follows Resident #73's wound care. When asked if
she is aware that Resident #73's spouse is performing wound care, she stated no. When asked if the
resident's spouse has shown her any over the counter mediations that she uses on the resident, she stated
no. The ARNP stated that sometime when she goes into the room to examine the resident, the spouse has
prepared the resident on his side and removes the old dressing for her so she can view the wound.
An interview was conducted on 02/21/24 at 12:10 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) who was asked if
they are aware the spouse of Resident #73 provdes wound care for the resident. The DON stated she was

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to provide timely dental services for 1 of 1
sampled resident, reviewed for dental services, Resident #78.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The facility's policy, titled, Dental Consultant, revised April 2007, had a section, titled, Policy Interpretation
and Implementation. Item #2 describes the services provided by the Consultant Dentist. Letter b
documented the following:
b. Providing a dental assessment of each resident within ninety (90) days of admission.
Record review revealed Resident #78 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
On 02/19/24 at 3:10 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #78 during the Initial Pool process. At
the time of the interview, the surveyor observed that Resident #78 had missing teeth in his right lower jaw,
at the front of his mouth. Resident #78 was asked if he was okay with the missing teeth, and indicated he
was not. When Resident #78 was asked if he wanted to see the dentist about the missing teeth, he replied
yes. Record review conducted immediately after the interview revealed there were no orders for Dental
Consultation prior to 02/19/24. This review included searching for active orders, completed orders, and
crossed out orders. Using an Excel spreadsheet function to calculate 90 days from admission, which is the
maximum number of days per the policy, the latest date for a dental consultation should be 11/12/23. The
dental consultation order was placed on 02/19/24, which was 189 days after the admission date.
On 02/21/24 at 9:39 AM, an interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) to
determine how dental services are requested. The NHA stated that the nurses or CNAs would be
responsible to make the request. The NHA elaborated that the CNAs should tell the nurse if a resident told
them that dental services were needed or if the CNA noted the resident had pain or other dental issues.
The nurse would be responsible for obtaining the order, if needed, and then informing the Social Services
Director (SSD) who would contact the dental consultant's office to arrange for services.
On 02/21/24 at 9:52 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff G, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), who
stated if a resident complains of a tooth ache or asks to see the dentist, then Staff G would tell the nurse
immediately. Staff G stated if the resident can't find their dentures, she tells the nurse and then searches
the resident's room for the missing dentures. Staff G indicated there was no reason she could think of,
where a resident would not get to see the dentist.
On 02/21/24 at 10:50 AM, record review revealed that Staff F, Registered Nurse (RN), had documented in
the admission note in the nurses' progress notes that Resident #78 clearly was identified as having missing
teeth.
On 02/21/24 at 1:40 PM, an interview was conducted with Staff F, regarding the observation of the
resident's missing teeth upon admission. Staff F was asked why there was no dental consultation ordered
for Resident #78, who stated she did not know why she did not further pursue the missing teeth as
documented. The nurse agreed that she should have determined if the resident wanted a dental visit and
then obtained an order for a dental visit if required.

On 02/21/24 at 1:48 PM, an interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD) regarding
dental consults. The SSD explained residents' needs are discussed either in the morning clinical meeting or
the afternoon clinical meeting. The morning meeting is used to discuss issues from the previous night, or
the weekend on Mondays, and the afternoon meeting is used to discuss new issues that had occurred
during the day before the close of business for the day. The SSD explained when she is informed a resident
needs dental services, she contacts the provider and then faxes the face sheet with insurance information
to the provider. This allows the provider to obtain insurance authorization for services rendered. The SSD
arranges for the dentist to come to the facility for the residents if needed. The SSD explained that the
dentist and dental hygienist come to the facility monthly and as needed.
On 02/21/24 at 2:38 PM, review of Social Services Notes in the Electronic Health Records for Resident #78
revealed no notes concerning dental care. Review of care plans revealed there were no care plans that
addressed dental issues.
