The tube feeding bottle was with Jevity 1.5 (tube feeding formulary) at 70 milliliters (ml) an hour and running at 70 ml an hour. Closer observation showed that the tube feeding bottle started at 8:00 AM on 09/18/22 and was almost empty at the observation time. The tube feeding bottle has a 1000 ml capacity. This showed that Resident #30 only received a total volume of 1000 ml and not a total volume of 1400 as per MD orders. Continued observation on 09/19/22 at 12:49 PM showed a tube feeding bottle with no start time but had a start date of 09/19/22. It ran at 70 ml an hour and was at the 1000 ml mark out of a 1000 ml capacity bottle. An observation conducted on 09/19/22 at 1:46 PM showed Resident #30 in his bed. The tube feeding was not running, and that tube feeding bottle was noted at the 1000 ml mark out of a 1000 ml capacity bottle. In an observation conducted on 09/20/22 at 10:20 PM, Resident #30 was noted in bed. Closer observation showed a tube feeding bottle that was started on 09/20/22 at 9 AM at 70 ml an hour. The tube feeding mark was at 1000 ml out of the 1000 ml capacity bottle. This showed that no tube feeding was infused for an hour and a half. A review of Physicians' orders showed the following: a one-time a day Jevity 1.5 at 70 ml an hour up between 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, down when the total volume of 1400 ml infused daily dated 09/10/22.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few pounds. The current tube feeding order provides 2100 calories and 89 grams of protein a day. Resident #30 estimated needs were noted for 2100 to 2520 calories and 101 to 126 grams of protein. In this assessment, the facility's Clinical Dietitian estimated Resident #30's needs using his Adjusted Body weight and recommended a protein supplement daily for an added 17 grams of protein. She further stated that Resident #30 would maintain adequate nutritional status in the absence of unplanned weight loss. The Clinical Dietitian's tube feeding recommendations met the lower end of Resident #30's needs for calories and protein daily. The current tube feeding rate with the additional protein supplement provides 106 grams of protein out of the 126 grams of protein estimated on the higher end of the protein needs, which is 84 percent of protein needs. A review of the Medication Administration Record for Resident #30 showed that the protein supplement was only started on 09/12/22, which was 3 days after his readmission to the facility. A progress note written on 07/28/22 by the Clinical Dietitian showed that Resident #30 had a stage 3 sacrum pressure ulcer, and she recommended providing Prostat protein supplement to 3 times a day. At the time, Resident #30 ate by mouth and was not on tube feeding. The care plan dated 08/19/22 showed that Resident #30 requires tube feeding related to dysphagia, and the Clinical Dietitian to evaluate as needed and monitor caloric intake and estimated needs, and make recommendations for changes to tube feeding as required. It further showed that Resident #30 is at risk for developing pressure ulcers related to fragile skin. A review of the wound care doctor note dated 09/12/22, which was 3 days after Resident #30's readmission, showed the following: Resident #30 has wound #1 with inferior sacrum wound stage 4 that has a length of 3 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters and depth of 1 centimeter. Wound #2 was noted with superior sacrum stage 3 has a length of 4 centimeters, a width of 5 centimeters, and a depth of 0.2 centimeters. A review of the wound care doctor's note dated 09/19/22 showed the following: Resident #30 has wound #1 with inferior sacrum wound stage 4 that has a length of 2.5 centimeters, a width of 3 centimeters, and a depth of 1 centimeter. Wound #2 was noted with superior sacrum stage 3 has a length of 5 centimeters, a width of 0.2 centimeters, and a depth of 0.2 centimeters. A new wound that developed was assessed as wound #3 on the left lateral buttocks stage 3, which has a length of 6 centimeters, a width of 1 centimeter, and a depth of 0.1 centimeters. An interview with the Clinical Dietitian on 09/21/22 at 9:43 AM stated that any residents who is admitted or readmitted to the facility with a stage 3 pressure ulcer and above she would assess the protein needs using a range of 1.2 to 1.5 multiplied by the body weight. She further stated that when evaluating tube feeding needs on residents with stage 3 pressure ulcers and above, she will use the higher end of their needs for protein and calories. When asked why she only recommended one scoop of protein supplement daily and not twice a day or higher, she agreed with the Surveyor that it should have been more. When asked why she estimated the tube feeding needs to meet the lower end of the needs for Resident #30, she reported that Resident #30 was readmitted from the hospital. She did not want to overfeed the Resident and kept him at the lower end of needs and see if he gained weight before increasing his caloric and protein needs. Surveyor expressed concerns that Resident #30 developed a new wound since his readmission. In an interview conducted on 09/21/22 at 10:36 AM with Staff B, the Registered Nurse stated that Resident #30 tolerates his tube feeding with no issues.

Both residents had complaints that their meal choices were not being followed; one of the two residents was routinely served meals she could not eat due to celiac disease and lactose intolerance. The findings included: 1. During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 09/19/22 at 8:00 AM, the surveyor noted Resident #417 refused her original breakfast tray and asked for gluten free toast instead. Staff U, Social Services (who had brought her breakfast tray to her) removed the original breakfast tray and made Resident #417 gluten free toast per her request. An interview was conducted with Resident #417 on 09/19/22 at 12:35 PM. Resident #417 stated that she had celiac disease and lactose intolerance, and she was consistently brought food that she could not consume. When asked by the surveyor if she has spoken to any staff members at the facility about this issue, she stated she had spoken to a dietitian multiple times, but the kitchen continued to send her eggs, food covered with gravy, and ice cream-all of which she had told the dietitian she could not consume due to her dietary restrictions. She said a friend brought her gluten free bread, protein shakes, and fruit cups from outside the facility and these items were what she had been eating for all of her meals due to the kitchen consistently sending the wrong foods. During this interview, Resident #417's lunch tray was brought to the bedside. She stated this was the first time she was served a tray with foods she could eat-mashed potatoes and peas. There were also glazed carrots on the plate which Resident #417 said she would not eat because she did not know what was in the glaze. During this interview and observation, the surveyor noted the meal ticket on the tray documented no eggs, no meat, no milk and gluten free. Resident #417 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #417 had a medical history of sepsis, nausea/vomiting, low blood pressure, neuropathy, depression, and gastric acid reflux. It was noted by the surveyor during the initial record review that there was no documentation in the Medical History or Allergies sections of the electronic chart of the presence of celiac disease or lactose intolerance. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment was in progress at the time of this survey. There was no Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score documented in this MDS. However, the surveyor noted during the initial interview that Resident #417 was alert and oriented and able to answer all questions without difficulty. During review of Resident #417's Care Plan, it was noted by the surveyor that there was no care plan in place regarding her dietary preferences. Review of the physician orders for Resident #417 revealed an order was written on 09/16/22 for a gluten free diet. Review of the notes in Resident #417's chart revealed the dietary department had not written any note at the time of this survey.

This document showed Resident #417's dislikes included dishes with gravy, eggs in all forms, all forms of hot cereal, shrimp, hamburger steak/beef, pork products, and dairy products. An interview was conducted on 09/20/22 at 8:45 AM with Resident #417 regarding what foods were provided on her breakfast tray that morning. Resident #417 stated she received oatmeal on her tray; she told the surveyor she would not eat the oatmeal because she did not trust that it was gluten free. She told the surveyor she asked a staff member to toast her gluten free bread and the staff member refused, stating they were not allowed in the kitchen to toast her bread. She said she told the staff member that someone had made her toast the day before, but they continued to refuse her request. During this interview, Resident #417 showed the surveyor a picture of her tray which included the meal ticket which documented no eggs, no meat, no milk and gluten free. An interview was conducted with the facility's Registered Dietitian on 09/21/22 at 10:30 AM. The surveyor asked her to explain how the food dislikes are displayed on the resident's meal tickets. She stated that since some residents have a lot of preferences, they often condense the preferences so the kitchen staff gets a smaller list. She specified that the kitchen staff does not have access to the whole list of preferences for each resident. When asked how often the residents are interviewed about their food preferences, she stated the residents are interviewed on admission, quarterly, and if a complaint is made to staff about their meals. When asked specifically about Resident #417's concerns, the Registered Dietitian confirmed that she had spoken to her multiple times regarding the concerns but did not realize it was still an issue. The Registered Dietitian was able to show the surveyor the meal tickets for the 3 meals on 09/21/22-all of the meal tickets documented no eggs, no meat, no milk and gluten free. An interview was conducted with Resident #417 on 09/21/22 at 11:15 AM. She stated her lunch and dinner meals on 09/20/22 were mashed potatoes with vegetables and no gravy, so she was able to eat these meals with no issue. However, for breakfast on 09/21/22, she was served 2 strips of bacon and hot cereal, despite both of these foods being on her dislikes list. In this interview, Resident #417 stated she was going to be discharged to home that day. 2.
