An interview was conducted with Staff Y, Registered Nurse (RN), on 06/25/25 at 04:00 PM, who has been
working in the facility for a year, and who when asked what check marks on the top of nurse's initials mean
parallel to the medication on MAR, responded, The medication was administered by the nurse with the
initials present on MAR. The check mark indicated the medication was administered.
An interview was conducted with Staff J, RN, on 06/25/25 at 4:10 PM, who when asked if the medications
were administered to Resident #66 on the above dates, responded, Upon checking the e-MAR, it revealed
an 0 indicating the medications were administered on the above dates. She added that when a medication
was not administered, nurses write the reason on the progress notes.
Staff J checked Resident #66's progress notes and stated there were no written notes indicating the
medication was not administered on the dates mentioned. She also checked Resident 66's admission date
which she stated was in 2023. Saff J stated Resident #66 was readmitted on [DATE], indicating the resident
has not left the facility since then, so there was no reason why the Enalapril medication was not
administered. She verified that the nurses did not document the vital signs and BP in the MAR, when the
medication was administered on the above dates.

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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to follow the professional standards of care, as
evidenced by failure to verify gastrostomy placement, for 1 of 5 sampled residents on tube feedings,
Resident #25. The findings included: Review of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition
(ASPEN), Safe Practices for Enteral Nutrition Therapy revealed one of the recommendations to prevent
aspiration related to enteral nutrition, is to verify that feeding tube is in proper position before initiating
feedings. https://aspenjournals.onlinelibrary.[NAME].com/doi/full/10.1177/0148607116673053.Review of the
facility's policy titled, Care and Treatment of Feeding Tubes, with a revision date of 04/01/24, revealed the
facility is to utilize feeding tubes in accordance with current clinical standards of practice, with interventions
to prevent complications to the extent possible. Additionally, license nurses will monitor and check that the
feeding is in the right location, and that tube placement will be verified before beginning a feeding and
before administering medications (6). Record review revealed Resident # 25 was admitted on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included Tracheostomy Status, Unspecified effects of Drowning and non-fatal submersion,
Dysphagia, Gastrostomy Status, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Respiratory Disorders, and
Anoxic Brain Damage.Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] under
Section C revealed the Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score for Resident #25 was disabled by
questions C0100, indicating an attempt to conduct interview with the resident resulted to code 0 (zero), or a
no, which indicated the resident is rarely/never understood. Review of the physician orders revealed the
following: on 05/21/25, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) as indicated for percutaneous endoscopic
gastrostomy (PEG)and tracheostomy tubes, every shift; on 04/29/25, enteral feed four times a day, to give
195 milliliters (mL) of Peptamen [NAME] 1.5, run over one hour per pump via gastrostomy (g) tube, and
from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM, give 105 ml/ hour for 10 hours of Peptamen [NAME], 1.5 overnight, to be infused
via g tube by pump. Additional physician order revealed feeding pump may be turned off for care and
treatment every shift. Review of the nursing care plan revealed Resident #25 is at risk for aspiration
secondary to gastrostomy (g) tube dependency, tracheostomy placement, and diagnosis of
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Review of the nursing care plan interventions included the
following: assess bowel sounds every shift; check gastrostomy (g) tube for patency and placement before
administration of medication and flushes; and check g tube for patency before administration of feeding and
flushes. An observation was conducted on 06/24/25 at 10:44 AM with Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse,
LPN, who stated she would give the feeding to the resident. Staff H put on yellow gown after performing
hand hygiene, went straight to the resident who was sitting on a wheelchair, exposed the resident's G-tube
and connected the ends of resident's G-tube to the end of tube feeding connector. Staff H did not disinfect
the ends of both G-tube ports and the tip of the tube feeding. Staff H did not check for G-tube placement or
assess Resident #25's bowel sounds.An interview was conducted with Staff H on 06/24/25 at 4:53 PM, who

Record review revealed Resident #23 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included Arnold Chiari
Syndrome with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, Severe Intellectual Disabilities, Respiratory Failure and
Anoxic Brain Damage. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], under
Section C of the Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score for Resident #23 revealed an attempt to
conduct an interview resulted to a code 0 (zero), indicating no, and the resident is rarely/never
understood.Section GG revealed Resident #23 was dependent on chair-to-bed-to-chair (wheelchair)
transfer. Section O revealed yes responses to both suctioning and tracheostomy care. Review of the
physician orders dated 05/21/25 revealed Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) as indicated for
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube and tracheostomy, every shift. During an observation
on 06/23/25 at 10:00 AM, Resident #23 was awake and sitting in wheelchair. A tracheostomy was observed
in front of the neck which was open to air and not attached to an oxygen supply. During a tracheostomy
care on 06/24/25 at 4:41 PM, the following were observed:Staff F, Respiratory Therapist, (RT), prepared the
supplies on top of resident's meal table without first disinfecting the area. Staff E, RT stated she would help
Staff F. Both Staff performed handwashing and donned Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) gown and
clean gloves. Resident #23 was inside the crib and lying flat with rails of crib up on both sides.Staff F
opened the tracheostomy kit, put a wrapped, unopened sponge dressing over the newly opened sterile
tracheostomy kit. When asked why he did that, he stated that is how he always does it. He removed the still
wrapped sponge gauze dressing from the top of the tracheostomy kit and put it to the side. Staff F, with
clean gloves, approached the resident's bed and started manipulating the neck collar without informing the

side rails were up. Staff E, RT stated she would try to hold the tracheostomy tube while Staff F, RT was
cleaning and changing the tracheostomy collar and dressing around the resident's neck. Staff E put on
sterile gloves but did not maintain sterility. She was touching parts of her wrist with the sterile right-gloved
hand, during the donning of the left-hand glove. When Staff E was asked if she maintained one dominant
hand sterile, she replied, yes. When asked why she touched the wrist of her left hand with the supposedly
sterile right-gloved hand, she went and removed both gloves but did not maintain sterility as well after
putting on a new set. When the gloves were both on, she picked up the glove's wrapper using the right hand
and touched the crib with her left hand. Staff E went and stayed next to Resident #23's left side and held
the tracheostomy tube (crib rails were up, and the resident still lying flat), while Staff F was changing and
cleaning the neck collar using dressing wet with saline, dry dressing and a new neck collar found inside the
opened tracheostomy kit. Staff F placed a split dressing under the tracheostomy opening.After changing the
neck collar and the dressing, Staff F removed his gloves, performed hand hygiene, and opened a
tracheostomy suction catheter / cannula kit on the left side of Resident #23's bed. He picked up the right
sterile glove from the kit and put it on his right hand, then with the supposedly sterile right gloved hand, he
touched his bare left hand with the right gloved hand, while donning the left glove. He did not change his
gloves and proceeded. When both gloves were on, the opening flap of the suction cannula kit went back to
its original position, so Staff F, using his left hand, opened the flap and grabbed the suction cannula inside
using his right hand. When asked if he would change his gloves, he replied, no. He inserted the end tip of
the catheter / cannula from the kit into the suction tubing. Staff E turned on the suction switch, then Staff F
started to put in the end tip of catheter / cannula inside Resident #23's tracheostomy. Staff F stated, he
needed saline. Staff E gave him an unopened saline container. Staff F opened the saline using his right
hand while his left hand was holding the suction tubing and the saline container. He placed a drop of saline
directly on the tracheostomy opening with the resident lying flat and inserted the cannula to suction one
more time using his left hand. When done, both staff were asked if they followed the tracheostomy policy,
and they both responded, yes. When Staff F was asked if tracheostomy suctioning is done after changing
the neck collar and neck dressing, both did not reply. Record review of respiratory progress notes did not
indicate the resident's position during the procedure, and the practice of sterility during suctioning of the
tracheostomy tube.In an interview conducted with Staff M, Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) and
Staff N, Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT), when asked if they must use sterile technique when
performing tracheostomy tube suctioning, replied, We use sterile gloves on our dominant hands when
suctioning, and our non-dominant hands are used for other things like pouring solution and connecting the
ends of tubing. When asked regarding tracheostomy care, which one is done first, the changing of neck
collar and dressing or the suctioning, both replied, Suctioning is done first, second is giving treatments, and
lastly the changing of collar and dressing around the collar.When they were asked about the maintenance
of oxygen concentrators, Staff M, RRT, stated that the concentrator is checked by the facility's maintenance
and when it is not working, the Staff RT will put a sticker into it indicating it is defective. Staff M, RRT added,
Everything and all concentrators are working here. If something goes wrong with the concentrator, the RT
calls the maintenance.2. Record review revealed Resident #31 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included Cerebral Palsy (an abnormal development or damage to parts of the brain), Gastro Esophageal
Reflux Disease without Esophagitis, Persistent Vegetative State, Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (a brain

undated Velcro Trach collar/strap brace located just above the child's open Trach stoma site and wrapped
around her neck, with still no dressing observed at this site. There were no new current specific written
physician's orders noted in the record, pertaining to the care and treatment of the Velcro Trach collar/strap
brace. An interview was conducted on 06/24/25 at 1:22 PM with Staff S, Registered Respiratory Therapist
(RRT), in which he checked the record and stated that RRTs do not do any daily routine treatments for
Resident #53. He indicated that all tracheostomy care is performed by the nurses. Staff S added that the
Tracheostomy care change is done twice per month by the RRTs on every 15th and 27th of the month. On
06/24/25 at 1:39 PM during a fourth observation of Resident #53, she was observed sitting up in her
wheelchair in her room and noted as wearing a new/different undated Velcro Trach collar/strap brace
located just above the child's open Trach stoma site and wrapped around her neck. There were no new
current specific written physician's orders noted in the record, pertaining to the care and treatment of the
Velcro Trach collar/strap brace. An interview was conducted on 06/25/25 at 12:50 PM with Staff P,
Registered Nurse (RN), who indicated Resident #53 had not exhibited any behaviors while she was
providing care to her. Staff P acknowledged there was no current order in Point-Click-Care (PCC) for
nursing to provide care and treatment for Resident #53's Velcro Trach collar/strap brace which was located
just above the child's open Trach stoma site and wrapped around her neck. Staff P stated she had not
changed or provided care to this child's Velcro Trach collar/strap brace. She stated the Respiratory
department was primarily responsible for doing this. Staff P stated if nursing were to see something that
was an issue or concern, that they would address it as well.On 06/25/25 at 12:59 PM, an interview was
conducted with Staff T, Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT), who indicated Resident #53 had not
exhibited any behaviors, while he was providing care to her. Staff T stated that the following physician's
order was written for Stoma Care: Clean with normal saline, pat dry and cover with dry dressing every shift
and as needed. He acknowledged that currently there was no order in Point-Click-Care (PCC) for RT to
provide care and treatment for the child's Velcro Trach collar/strap brace located just above the child's open
Trach stoma site and wrapped around her neck. Staff T went on to say that he had not changed nor
provided care to this child's Velcro Trach collar strap/brace, because he responded, he was not in the
facility, and that sometimes, depending on how the child feels, she may take off the gauze, that would be
put in place underneath this Velcro Trach collar/strap brace. Staff T was unable to show written
documentation of the child having taken off the gauze, nor was he able to show any documentation of
whether or not this child's skin underneath was being checked and assessed. There was no evidence to
indicate that the Velcro neck collar/strap brace was being checked for proper fit and tightness. Staff T stated
that it was the RT department's responsibility to change this.An interview was conducted with the Director

flat in bed and the crib side rails were up. Staff E stated she would try to hold the tracheostomy tube while
Staff F was cleaning and changing the tracheostomy collar and dressing around the resident's neck. Staff E
put on sterile gloves but did not maintain sterility, as evidenced by touching parts of her wrist with the sterile
right-gloved hand, during the donning of the left-hand glove. When she was asked if she maintained one
dominant hand sterile, she replied, yes. When asked why she touched the wrist of her left hand with the
supposedly sterile right-gloved hand, she removed both gloves but did not maintain sterility as well after
putting on a new set, as she picked up the gloves' wrapper using the right hand and touched the crib with
her left hand. Staff E stayed next to Resident #23's left side and held the tracheostomy tube, while Staff F
was changing and cleaning the neck collar using dressing wet with saline, dry dressing and a new neck
collar found inside the opened tracheostomy kit. Staff F placed a split dressing under the tracheostomy
opening.After changing the neck collar and the dressing, Staff F removed the gloves, performed hand
hygiene, and opened a tracheostomy suction catheter/cannula kit on the left side of Resident #23's bed. He
picked up the right sterile glove from the kit and put it on his right hand, then touched his bare left hand with
the right gloved hand, while donning the left glove. He did not change his gloves and proceeded. When both
gloves were on, the opening flap of the suction cannula kit went back to its original position, so Staff F
using his left hand, opened the flap and grabbed the suction cannula inside using his right hand. When
asked if he would be changing his gloves, he replied, no. He inserted the end tip of the catheter/cannula
from the kit into the suction tubing. Staff E turned on the suction switch, then Staff F, RT started to put in the
end tip of catheter/cannula inside Resident #23's tracheostomy. Staff F stated he needed saline. Staff E
gave him an unopened saline container. Staff F opened the saline using his right hand while his left hand
was holding the suction tubing and the saline container. He placed a drop directly on the tracheostomy
opening (the resident remained lying flat), then inserted the cannula to suction one more time using his left
hand. Both staff were asked if they followed the tracheostomy policy, and they both responded, yes. When
Staff F was asked about his dominant hand, he stated, 'right'. When asked if tracheostomy suctioning is
done after changing the neck collar and neck dressing, both did not reply. Review of respiratory progress
notes did not indicate resident's position during the procedure, and the practice of sterility during suctioning
of the tracheostomy tube.In an interview conducted with Staff M, Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT)
and Staff N, Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT), when asked if they must use sterile technique when
performing tracheostomy tube suctioning, replied, We use sterile gloves on our dominant hands when
suctioning, and our non-dominant hands are used for other things like pouring solution and connecting the
ends of tubing's. In an interview conducted with Staff D, RRT, on 06/26/25 at 10:43 AM, when she was
asked how often respiratory and oxygen tubing connected to tracheostomy system are changed,
responded, Oxygen solution and tubing systems are changed when it is empty and not based on specific
time, and all oxygen tubings are changed every Sundays. She stated she lets her other co-workers know
that tubings were changed because she put a yellow or a white sticker label with the date and her initials.
She stated she also put a date on a tracheostomy collar.When she was asked how she performs
tracheostomy collar care, she responded, I make sure the resident is sitting upright as tolerated.When she
was asked regarding nebulizing treatment and supplies, she responded, I make sure I change the supplies
every week. On Saturdays, I label it with a sticker so another Therapist will know it has been changed. She
added that emergency respiratory supplies, like Ambu bags, are never placed on the resident's bed, but
near the resident's bed with label. When she was asked to explain tracheostomy care, she responded, I
wash my hands, put on clean gloves, assess resident's breathing, open the suction and
