This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews, observations and record review, the facility failed to provide nutritional assessments and interventions promptly and follow up on monthly weights for 2 of 4 sampled residents reviewed for nutrition, Residents #17, and #7. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: A review of the facility's policy, titled, Nutritional Assessment/Evaluation, revised on 9, 2017, showed the following: the Dietitian, in conjunction with the nursing staff and healthcare practitioners, will conduct a nutritional Assessment/Evaluation for each resident upon admission (within current initial Assessment / Evaluation timeframes) and as indicated by a change in condition that places the resident at risk for impaired nutrition. 2. The nutritional Assessment / Evaluation will be a systematic, multidisciplinary process that includes gathering and interpreting data and using that data to help define meaningful interventions for the resident at risk for or with impaired nutrition. A review of the facility's policy, titled, Weight Assessment/Evaluation and intervention, revised on 11/2021, showed the following: Any weight change of 5% or more since the last available weight will be retaken for confirmation. If the weight is verified, nursing will notify the Dietitian. Monthly weights will be finalized by the 15th of each month, the Dietitian will review the Weight Record to follow individual weight trends over time, and trends will be evaluated by the Dietitian to determine whether the criteria for insignificant weight change has been met. The threshold for significant unplanned and undesired weight loss/gain will be based on the following criteria: a. one month - 5% weight loss is significant; greater than 5% is severe. B. Three months -7.5% weight loss is significant; greater than 7.5% is severe. C. 6 months - 10% weight loss is significant; greater than 10% is severe. 1.

Standing The weight loss from 08/05/22 to 10/19/22 showed 10.18 percent (%) weight loss in two months. The last weight documented in the electronic system was on 12/15/22, and no other weight was documented as taken after 12/15/22. A progress note written on 08/25/22 showed Resident #7 was on a Puree diet and tube feeding with Peptamen Junior (formulary type) at 250 milliliters (ml) 5 times a day. Another progress note on 09/27/22 showed that Resident #7 had a 3.7 percent weight loss in 1 month. It further showed that a potential for weight loss is anticipated with the recent COVID-19 infection. In this note, Staff A, Clinical Dietitian, recommended monitoring weight trends more frequently. On 10/19/22, Resident #7's weight dropped to 58.42 pounds from 65.04 pounds, and no progress note was completed by Staff A, addressing the severe weight loss of 11%. The next progress note was on 11/26/22, which was two months later. This note showed that Resident #7 was placed on an appetite stimulant and staff noted that she lost 7.4% of her body weight in 3 months. No other recommendations were noted at this time. Staff reported that they would continue to monitor the intake of meals and the weight trends. A Nutritional assessment, dated 12/22/22, showed that Resident #7 had a 7.4% weight loss in 3 months, and Staff made no further recommendations. Further review of the weight log showed that no new weight was taken since 12/15/22, 27 days apart. The care plan, dated 12/22/22, showed to provide Resident #7 with adequate nutritional / hydration support appropriate for weight / growth on an ongoing daily basis. Maintain weight/height +/- 3# per quarter with no signs or symptoms of dehydration and intact skin. In an interview conducted on 01/10/23 at 3:30 PM, Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated that Resident #7 is not verbal. She further said that she could communicate with staff by using her thumbs up if she wants something. In an observation conducted on 01/11/23 at 10:23 AM, Staff D, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), was asked to take the weight of Resident #7. Resident #7 was able to walk herself onto the standing scale, and the recorded weight was noted at 59.6 pounds, which is a 1.61 pound weight increase since the weight of 12/15/22.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the weight on residents more than once a month, and she said no. She stated that she has no access to the orders in the electronic charting and any orders for weights are given to her from the Dietitian. She further said that all weights that are taken for the day are given back to the Dietitian to input into the electronic system. In an interview with Staff A, Registered Dietitian, on 01/11/23 at 1:26 PM, she said that when residents are first admitted , she has 72 hours to do the initial assessment but usually gets it done within the first few days. Every 60 days, she will make a follow-up note and the quarterly evaluation after that. For the most part, she feels that most of the kids in this facility are stable. When asked about the weight policy, she reviews the order listing report every morning for any changes or any new orders for weight changes. She then creates a list that is given to Staff D, Certified Nursing Assistant. The list is broken down to residents who need their weight taken once a month, twice a month, weekly or more often. When asked if she knew that Resident #7 had an order for weights twice a month, she said yes. When asked why it was not done, she said it was her fault as she did not move Resident #7 to the twice-a-month list she created. She further acknowledged that Resident #7 had a weight loss of 11% from 08/05/22 to 10/19/22, and no nutritional interventions were made to address the weight loss. 2. Resident #17 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #17 had a medical history significant for Cerebral Palsy, Quadriplegia, Seizures, and was dependent on a gastrostomy tube for nutrition intake. An Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) was done on 11/12/22. This MDS showed Resident #17 had a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 99, which indicated he was severely cognitively impaired. This MDS showed Resident #17 was receiving tube feeding for all meals. This MDS documented Resident #17 had known weight loss but that he was not on a prescribed weight loss regimen. Review of Resident #17's Care Plans revealed a care plan was written on 08/06/18 regarding Resident #17 being at risk for altered nutrition. There was no care plan written regarding the noted weight loss. Review of Resident #17's physician orders revealed a previous order from 08/10/21 to 11/17/22 for Enteral Feed every 4 hours Nutren Jr Fiber 245 mL via G-Tube every 4 Hours run over 1 Hour per feeding tube. From 11/17/22 to 12/01/22, a new order was written for Enteral Feed every 4 hours Give 260 mL Nutren [NAME] w/ Fiber via g-tube every 4 hours run over 1 hour per feeding tube. On 12/01/22, a new and current order was written for Enteral Feed every 4 hours Run Nutren [NAME] w/ Fiber at 65 mL/hr x 24 hours continuously via g-tube per pump. During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 01/09/23 at 11:01 AM, it was noted that Resident #17 had a bag of Nutren [NAME] plus Fiber tube feeding infusing. During the initial review of Resident #17's record, it was noted that Resident #17 had suffered a significant weight loss. On 08/05/22, Resident #17 weighed 79.81 pounds; on 01/05/23, Resident #17 weighed 66.8 pounds, which indicated a 16.30% weight loss in 5 months. This is considered significant weight loss. Further review of Resident #17's weights revealed the following: on 07/05/22, Resident #17 weighed 75.62 pounds; on 08/05/22, Resident #17 weighed 79.81 pounds; on 09/05/22, Resident #17 weighed 75.4 pounds; on 10/05/22, Resident #17 weighed 71.65 pounds; on 11/15/22, Resident #17 weighed 67.68 pounds; on 12/01/22, Resident #17 weighed 66.81 pounds; and on 01/05/23, Resident #17 weighed 66.8 pounds.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 01/11/23, the surveyors asked to have Resident #17 weighed. Staff D, CNA, weighed Resident #17 using a Hoyer lift. Staff D ensured Resident #17 was wearing only a diaper for this weight. The Hoyer lift scale was zeroed prior to obtaining Resident #17's weight. The weight taken was 67.2 lbs. This represented a 0.4-pound weight gain since the weight recorded on 01/05/23. Review of the Dietary Notes revealed Staff A, Registered Dietitian (RD), was aware of the weight gain noted in August 2022. The note stated that Staff A notified the physician but planned to continue to monitor Resident #17's weights and make no changes at that time. Another Dietary Note, written on 09/06/22, indicated Staff A was aware of the weight loss, but she recommended no changes to the tube feeding at that time. On 10/07/22, Staff A documented a note indicating she was aware of Resident #17's continued weight loss but again offered no interventions. On 12/01/22, Staff A documented her next note indicating she was going to increase Resident #17's tube feeding to provide additional calories and maximize absorption to promote weight restoration. An interview was conducted with Staff A, RD, on 01/11/23 at 1:40 PM. When asked specifically about this resident, Staff A stated that the weight done in August [2022] was presumed to be incorrect, since it was above what Resident #17's usual weight fluctuations were. She clarified that she asked Staff D to re-weigh Resident #17 and the weight was still 79 pounds. Staff A said they assumed Resident #17 was constipated and that his would fluctuate back to his baseline, and this is why she offered no interventions at that time. Staff A stated Resident #17's weight did trend down to his baseline after August 2022 but that he continued to drop in weight in September and October 2022. Staff A said she spoke to the Nurse Practitioner (NP) in October but was told not to make any changes at that time. In December 2022, Staff A said she changed Resident #17 to continuous feedings to maximize absorption. Staff A stated she had plans to make additional adjustments this week and that she would possibly add a zinc supplement. She clarified that zinc increases metabolic efficacy. The facility staff did not act in a timely manner to intervene for Resident #17's significant weight loss over the course of the 5 months.

Resident #98 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #98's diagnoses included: Cerebral Palsy, Seizure disorder, Chronic lung disease, Atrasia of Foramina, Epilepsy, Disturbances of Salivary secretion, Lack of expected normal physiological development n childhood, Diaphragmatic Hernia without obstruction or gangrene, Calculus of Kidney, and spastic quadriplegic. Resident #98's orders included: 09/22/22 - NPO [nothing by mouth] diet, NPO texture - feeds per g-tube only 12/19/22 - Enteral Feed - every shift Run Peptamen w/ Prebio at 50 mL/hr continuously via g-tube per pump. On 09/22/22, the resident weighed 75 lbs. On 12/05/22, the resident weighed 70 pounds which is a -6.67 % loss. On 01/09/23 at 10:17 AM, Resident #98 was observed in bed with enteral feeding pump display reading Flow error - clog in line downstream of pump. The date mark on the 1000 milliliter bag of supplement documented the supplement was initiated on 01/09/23 at 10:00 AM. On 01/10/23 at 7:54 AM, Resident #98 was observed in bed with tube feeding initiated at 50 milliliters per hour (ml/hr). The dated mark on the 1000 milliliter bag of the supplement documented the supplement was initiated on 01/09/23 at 10:00 AM. At the time of the observation, there was approximately 600 milliliters remaining in the 1000 milliliter bag of the supplement. At a rate of 50 ml/hr over 20 hours, the resident should have received the entire 1000 milliliters. 01/10/23 at 2:50 PM, Resident #98 was observed in bed with the same supplement that was initiated on 01/09/23 at 10:00 AM, according to the date mark on the bag of supplement. At the time of the observation, there was 200 milliliters remaining in the 1000 milliliter bag of the supplement. There was no documentation to justify why the order for enteral feeding was not met. During an interview, on 01/10/23 at 3:51 PM with Staff H, Registered Nurse (RN), confirmed that the bag of supplement was the bag from the observations for the entirety of the previous day and this day. Staff H stated, Maybe something happened on the night shift. If anything would have happened, they would have to document something in the MAR (Medication Administration Record) or in the progress notes. When I came this morning, the night nurse had put a new bag and had not connected it to the tube-feeding. The night nurse was the one that placed the new bag. She did not tell me if anything happened and did not report anything to me. During an interview, on 01/11/23 at 1:27 PM, with Staff A, Registered Dietician / Licensed Dietician (RD/LD), Staff A confirmed the order for the enteral feeding and acknowledged that the order had not been met, as well as the lack of documentation and communication as to why the feeding was not done as ordered.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm precautions for a resident who was being fed by enteral means (tube feeding), as evidenced by staff not consistently keeping the head of the bed elevated while the tube feeding was running for Resident #77; and failed to follow Practitioner orders for tube feeding (Resident #98), for 2 of 6 sampled residents reviewed for tube feeding. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: 1. Resident #77 is two years old and has a tracheostomy related to Impaired breathing mechanics, is on a ventilator and has a history of Chronic Respiratory Failure and Dysphagia. He was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. In an observation conducted on 01/10/23 at 3:00 PM, Resident #77 was noted in his crib sleeping sideways across the mattress with his head flat down. Continued observation showed a tube feeding running at 40 milliliters an hour with Peptamen Junior (tube feeding formulary). Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), was noted outside the room on her computer. In an observation conducted on 01/10/23 at 3:30 PM, Resident #77 was noted in his crib sleeping sideways across the mattress with his head flat down. Continued observation showed a tube feeding running at 40 milliliters an hour with Peptamen Junior (tube feeding formulary). Staff B, LPN, was noted outside the room on her computer. In an observation conducted on 01/10/23 at 3:45 PM, Resident #77 was noted in his crib sleeping sideways across the mattress with his head flat down. Continued observation showed a tube feeding running at 40 milliliters (ml) an hour with Peptamen Junior (tube feeding formulary). In this observation, Staff B was asked by the surveyor if it was okay that the tube feeding was still running while Resident #77 was flat across the bed. Staff B said that Resident #77 tends to move a lot and that she is not his nurse for the day. When asked how often the staff monitors the residents, she said there is no particular time frame, and they can check at any given time. When the surveyor expressed concerns regarding the tube feeding running while Resident #77's head was not elevated, Staff B turned Resident #77 sideway and elevated the mattress. In an observation conducted on 01/10/23 at 4:30 PM, Resident #77 was noted in his crib sleeping sideways across the mattress with his head flat down. Continued observation showed a tube feeding running at 40 milliliters an hour with Peptamen Junior (tube feeding formulary). Staff B, LPN, was noted outside the room on her computer. A review of the orders showed an order for Aspiration precautions to keep the head of the bed elevated during feedings as tolerated every shift dated 12/24/22 and another order for tube feeding Peptamen Junior (tube feeding formulary) continuously run over 40 ml for 24 hours via G-tube per pump dated 12/20/22. The care plan dated 11/23/22 showed that Resident #77 is at risk for aspiration related to Enteral Tube Dependency and Tracheostomy Status, with interventions to: Keep the head of the bed elevated during feeding as tolerated. It further showed that Resident #77 is at risk for nutritional status and aspiration alteration with : Total nutritional / hydration support via G-Tube and is vent-dependent and has a diagnosis of dysphagia.
