F 0677 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident #72's care plan dated 09/23/23, documented a focus area noting the resident required assistance with ADL functions related to weakness and debility. The care plan focus was initiated on 08/25/22 and revised on 03/23/23. The care plan goal projected the resident will have bathing, dressing and grooming needs met as evidenced by lack of unpleasant body odors, neat and clean appearance on a daily ongoing basis. The care goal was initiated 08/25/22 and revised 05/13/23. Interventions to the care plan documented assistive devices as ordered and/or indicated. Enablers as ordered to promote functional bed mobility. Encourage and assist with all activities of daily living (ADL) tasks as indicated, as tolerated by resident, including locomotion, bathing, bed mobility, transfers, toileting tasks, meals, personal/oral hygiene, etc. On 12/21/23 at 10:30 AM, an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) A. She reported she had worked at the facility for a little over 22 years. She explained that she was familiar with the resident and the resident's needs. She said she had not been asked by the resident to have her fingernails trimmed. She expressed that the process while providing activities of living care was to observe residents' fingernails. If the fingernails appearred long, the expectation was to trim the resident's fingernails at bedside. She described the definition of excessively long nails, which have the potential of scratching a resident's skin, as a minimum of a quarter inch beyond the edge of the nail bed. The CNA pulled back the resident's blanket and observed the resident's fingernails. On 12/21/23 at 11:45 AM, an interview was conducted with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B. She reported she had worked as an Agency employee at the facility for approximately one month. She explained the process for a resident needing a fingernail trim started with the CNA while the care was provided. If she administered medication to a resident and noticed a resident's fingernails exceeded a half an inch beyond the nail bed, she should report it to the CNA who was responsible for trimming the resident's fingernails. She only gave the CNAs verbal notice and did not document a resident's excessive fingernail length in the facility's electronic medical records. On 12/21/23 at 12:40 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON). She reported she had worked at the facility for approximately three years. She explained that every resident was different, and some residents did not like their fingernails trimmed. She further explained that fingernail trimming should be included with activities of daily living (ADL) care. She informed CNAs that they should only file fingernails and not clip them. Clipping fingernails was the responsibility of the nurses. Fingernail filing and trimming or requests for filing or trimming were not documented in the facility's electronic medical records. If a resident requested to have their nails trimmed, the expectation was to have the resident's nails filed or clipped within the same day. She explained that if a nurse noticed nails were long during medication administration, they would initiate the trim right there and then. A review of the facility's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) policy documented. 2. Appropriate care and services will be provided for residents who are unable to carry out ADLs independently, with the consent of the resident and in accordance with the plan of care, including appropriate support and assistance with: a.

There were 32 residents in the total sample. Failure to provide enteral nutrition as prescribed could result in caloric deficit and eventual malnutrition. The findings include: During a tour on 12/19/23 at 10:12 am, Resident #33 was observed lying in bed. He was receiving tube feeding Jevity 1.5 cal at 60 milliliters per hour ml/hr. (Photographic evidence obtained) Another observation was made on 12/19/23 3:27 pm. Resident #33 was observed receiving Jevity 1.5 cal at 60 ml/hr. On 12/20/23 at 9:08 am, Resident #33 was observed in bed lying supine with the head of the bed elevated at 30 degrees. Jevity 1.5 was running at 60 ml/hr. (Photographic evidence obtained) In an interview on 12/20/23 at 9:28 am, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) C stated she was assigned to Resident #33. When asked about the resident's tube feeding times, she reviewed the physician's orders and stated the order read Jevity 1.5 cal at 70 ml per hour on at 2:00 pm and off at 10:00 am. She confirmed that the order was changed from 60 ml to 70 ml on 12/11/23. She was accompanied to the resident's room and confirmed that the resident was receiving the feeding at 60 ml/hr. She added that she would adjust the rate to 70 ml/hr. A review of the medical record indicated that Resident #33 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including sequelae of cerebral infarction, gastrostomy status, dysphagia, severe protein calorie malnutrition, pneumonitis due to inhalation of food and vomit. Physician orders dated 12/11/23, revealed Jevity 1.5 cal at 70 ml/hr x 20 hours (1400 - 1000 o'clock). Additional orders dated 9/6/23, indicated to provide hydration 125 ml of free water flush every 4 hours for hydration. Encourage resident to remain NPO (nothing by mouth). Check residual every shift. If 60 ml hold feeding for one hour. If residual remains greater than 60 ml, continue to hold and notify the physician. Change tube feeding set/bag every night shift. A review of the care plan dated 9/5/23, indicated that the resident required tube feeding related to dysphagia, a history of aspiration, cardiovascular accident, severe calorie malnutrition, and low BMI (body mass index)/low weight. Interventions included to follow physician's orders regarding nutrition orders and flushes. Check tube placement and gastric content/residual volume per facility protocol and record. Turn off G-tube (feeding tube) while providing care and when head of bed is down. Encourage resident to keep head of bed elevated. A review of the 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 10/05/23, revealed that the resident had severe cognitive impairment with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3 out of 15 possible points, indicating severe cognitive impairment. He was dependent on staff for toileting, bed mobility and hygiene care. The resident was dependent on a feeding tube for nutritional support.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few A review of the Nutrition Note dated 12/11/23, indicated that the resident was reviewed for a quarterly assessment. He was tolerating tube feedings well and his weight was trending down some. Recommended increasing the tube feeding regimen to help combat further weight loss. Continue NPO. Increase tube feeding to Jevity 1.5 70 ml/hr x 20 hrs 2 pm - 10 am, 200 ml free water flush QID (four times daily) to provide 1400 ml formula, 2100 kcal, 89 grams of protein and 1864 ml free water meeting 100% kcal, 95 % protein and 99% free water needs. The tube feeding regime meets 90-110% estimated nutritional needs. A review of the Nursing Progress Notes for 12/12/23-12/19/23 revealed that the resident was receiving Jevity 1.5 at 60 ml/hr. (Copies obtained) A review of the resident's recorded weights revealed that the resident weighed 126.2 pounds on 9/5/23 and 117.0 on 12/6/23. In an interview on 12/20/23 at 9:45 am, LPN D stated she was covering for the unit manager. When asked about Resident #33's enteral feeding orders, she stated when the dietician made any changes, he updated the new orders in the computer and also notified the nurses of the new changes. She confirmed that Resident #33's orders for tube feedings were changed on 12/11/23 to Jevity 1.5 Cal at 70 ml/hr and the nurses had documented providing the feeding at 60 ml/hr. She added that the nurse's night note had adjusted the pump setting. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled: Enteral Nutrition (Revised January 2014), revealed the following: The policy statement indicated that adequate nutritional support through enteral feeding will be provided to residents as ordered. The policy implementation and interpretation read: 3. The Dietitian, with input from the physician and Nurse will: a. Estimate calorie, protein, nutrient ad fluid needs; b. Determine whether the resident's current intake is adequate to meet his or her nutritional needs; c. Recommend special food formulation and d. Calculate fluid to be provided ( beyond free fluid in formula). 4 . Enteral nutrition will be ordered by the physician based on the recommendation of the Dietitian. If a feeding tube is ordered, the physician and interdisciplinary team will document why enteral nutrition is medically necessary. 5 .

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on kitchen food service observations, staff interviews, facility document review and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to follow proper sanitation and food handling practices to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness. The facility failed to ensure that the dietary staff practiced the proper procedures for hand hygiene, disposable glove use, food storage and proper sanitation practices in the kitchen. Hand hygiene, food handling and sanitation is important in health care settings serving nursing home residents due to the risk of serious complications from foodborne illness as a result of their compromised health status. Unsafe food handling practices represent a potential source of pathogen exposure. This had the potential to impact any resident receiving food from the facility. The findings include: During the first tour of the facility kitchen on 12/18/2023 at 10:12 AM one of the reach-in freezers located in a back hallway of the kitchen, had large blocks of frozen ice built up on the inside of the unit covering packages of food products.

F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on kitchen food service observations, staff interviews, and facility document review, the facility failed to ensure that all mechanical equipment in the kitchen was maintained in a safe operating condition. This failure had the potential to impact any resident receiving food from the facility's kitchen. Residents Affected - Many The findings include: During the first tour of the facility kitchen on 12/18/2023 at 10:12 AM the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) participated in the tour. Dietary Aide F was observed operating the dish machine. The wash cycle temperature was 110 degrees Fahrenheit ('F). Three loads were observed and the temperature did not change. The chlorine bleach sanitizer level was tested and resulted in 100 parts per million (ppm). Employee F did not know the wash cycle temperature was only 110'F. She stated that it was 130'F when she started washing dishes this morning. She stated that it was supposed to be 120'F or higher. Review of the dish machine temperature log revealed the wash cycle had been recorded to be 130'F and the wash cycle was recorded to be 130'F. During a tour of the kitchen on 12/19/2023 at 9:15 AM the dish machine was being operated by Employee G. The wash cycle temperature was 118'F and the rinse cycle temperature was 120'F on the first load observed. The wash cycle temperature was 110'F and the rinse cycle temperature was 128'F on the second load. The chlorine bleach sanitizer was tested and the result was 100 ppm. Review of the manufacturer's specifications revealed the wash cycle temperature is to be 120'F at a minimum. The chlorine bleach sanitizer should be 50 ppm at a minimum. Detergent Control. Water temperature is an important factor in ensuring the machine functions properly, and the machine's data plate details what the minimum temperatures must be for the incoming water supply, the wash tank, and the rinse tank. If minimum requirements are not met, ware might not be clean or sanitized. Preventative Maintenance: 1. Ensure that the water temperatures match those listed on the machine data plate. Water temperature could be too low for a variety of reasons (Copy obtained). During an interview on 12/20/2023 08:38 AM with the Administrator. He stated that he was made aware of the dish machine not working properly. He was informed of the failure of the machine to reach 120'F during the wash cycle. He stated he did not know that the wash cycle was not reaching the minimum temperature. He stated that the facility does not have control of the settings on the dish machine. He stated that he would make sure the contracted provider of maintenance would be called to come and fix the machine. During the lunch meal service at 11:55 AM the contracted provider of maintenance for the dish machine was observed in the dish room working on the dish machine. During a tour of the kitchen on 12/21/2023 at 9:05 AM Employee G was observed loading the dish machine. The dish machine wash cycle at 110'F, the rinse cycle was 112'F.

She observed the machine while they were at the facility and again after they left and the wash cycle and rinse cycle were above 120'F. She stated she does not know why the temperatures are so low again today. During an interview with the Maintenance Director on 11/21/2023 at 9:20 AM. He stated he raised the temperature on the water heater for the kitchen yesterday, 12/20/2023, by 5'F making the water temperature 150'F. He checked the machine again after that and the wash and rinse cycles were both above 120'F. He stated he does not understand why the temperature is so low. He suggested using a thermometer to test the temperature of the water in the machine. The CDM went and retrieved a digital thermometer and tested the water twice. The first reading was 105'F and the second one was 108'F (Photographic evidence obtained). The Maintenance Director gave the Administrator an infrared thermometer to test the water. He tested the water in the machine and the reading was 105'F. Review of the facility water temperature log dated 12/20//2023 revealed a handwritten note at the bottom that read: Turned hot water heater up 5 degrees on 12/20/2023 (kitchen). Review of the contracted provider for dish machine maintenance receipt for service dated 12/21/2023 revealed it read: Issue (s) Called in for Dishmachine sanitizer to high, testing at 1:00 PM. Work Performed: Rep adjusted dish machine sanitizer to 75 ppm (range is 50pm-100pm) Sanitizer is with in range. Checked Dishmachine temperature, wash and rinse are both at 120 (minimum temp is 120) temperatures with in range. Recommendations/Comments: 1. Test both sanitizers daily. 2. To insure proper washing and rinsing temperatures are with in range please run the water until the Dishmachine water reaches 120. Reference: The requirement for the presence of a temperature measuring device in each tank of the warewashing machine is based on the importance of temperature in the sanitization step. When chemical sanitizers are used, specific minimum temperatures must be met because the effectiveness of chemical sanitizers is directly affected by the temperature of the solution.
