Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on observations and record review, the facility failed to implement an accurate care plan for blood
pressure management for 1 (Resident #23) out of 21 sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the facility policy titled Medication Holds, dated April 2007 revealed the following:
The attending Physician must provide an explicit order as to when to restart a medication that has been
held, either at the time the order is given to hold the medication or subsequently.
1) During a medication administration observation opportunity and interview conducted on 12/13/22 for
Resident #23's morning medication at approximately 9:40 AM. The Registered Nurse stated that the
resident's vital signs had been taken prior to the observation and that the BP (Blood Pressure) was 93/50
and the Registered Nurse gave the ordered Lisinopril for a history of hypertension (high blood pressure).
A review of Resident #23's physician orders revealed the order for the Lisinopril had no hold parameters
from the physician in regard to low blood pressure.
A review of Resident #23's medication administration record and vital signs record revealed that, on two
separate occasions, the Lisinopril had been held by the staff for low blood pressures-on 12/08/22 Resident
#23's blood pressure was 101/67 and on 12/09/22 Resident #23's blood pressure was 98/53. Further
review of Resident #23's notes revealed there were no notes indicating the staff contacted the physician on
12/08/22 or 12/09/22 regarding holding the Lisinopril due to the low blood pressure readings. In fact, on
12/08/22, the note written stated, all prescribed medications administered as ordered.
A review of Resident #23's Care Plans revealed a care plan was written on 05/04/20 (and last reviewed on
10/18/22) which stated the following: Resident is at risk for cardiac and cerebrovascular complications
related to HTN [hypertension] and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol). Along with this care plan was an
approach which stated in part the following: observe for s/s [signs and symptoms] of sudden weakness or
abnormal v/s [vital signs] and notify MD [doctor] if occur

drawer, or other holding area to prevent the possibility of mixing medications of several residents.
Medications requiring refrigeration must be stored in a refrigerator located in the medication room at the
nurses' station or other secured location.
Review of the pharmacy list titled Medications with Shortened Expiration Dates, undated revealed the
following:
Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution-store unopened in refrigerator: Yes; refrigerate once opened: No.
1) During the initial tour of the facility conducted on 12/12/22 at 9:25 AM, it was observed by the surveyor
that there was an open drawer in Resident #86's room. Observed inside the open drawer were three
unidentified white tablets. Photographic evidence obtained.
Review of Resident #86's medical records revealed there was no documentation of Resident #86 being
assessed as safe to self-administer medications.
A secondary observation was made on 12/13/22 at 9:12 AM. The white tablets were no longer present in
the drawer. An interview was conducted with Resident #86 at that time. The resident stated she did not
know what the white tablets were and did not know who removed them from her drawer.

nurse's station with Staff E a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), the surveyor observed a bottle of Latanoprost
Ophthalmic Solution which had a sticker on the bag which read refrigerate before opening. The surveyor
asked Staff E if this medication should have been in the refrigerator. Staff E stated it did not have to be in
the refrigerator because the drops were not open. The surveyor pointed to the sticker and asked again if the
eye drops should be in the refrigerator and again Staff E stated the eye drops were not open, so they did
not have to be refrigerated. The surveyor again pointed to the sticker and asked the nurse to clarify. Staff E
then removed the eye drops from the medication cart and stated she would place them in the refrigerator.
A second observation was conducted on 12/14/22 at 3:50 PM of a medication cart at the 300 North nurse's
station with Staff F, LPN. There was a bottle of Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution which had a sticker on the

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation, record review, and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to prepare food
in a form designed to meet the needs of residents with physician ordered thickened liquids that included 26
facility residents and included sampled Resident #10, Resident #42, Resident #64, and Resident #70.
The findings included:
1) Review of the approved menu for the breakfast meal of 12/13/22 noted documentation of 8 ounces of
milk be served for regular and therapeutic diets.
During the observation of the breakfast meal in the main kitchen on 12/13/22 at 7:30 AM, it was noted that
residents on physician ordered thickened liquids tray cards that documented 8 ounces of thickened milk
(Nectar and Honey Consistency) were not receiving an 8-ounce portion of thickened milk. Interviews with
Staff A, B, C who were working on the tray line stated that the thickened milk has not been available for
some time. Interview with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) at the time of the observation noted that the
thickened milk (both Nectar and Honey) is purchased pre-thickened in 8-ounce carton portions. The CDM
further stated that the thickened milk has not been available for delivery since August 2022. Further
interview with the CDM confirmed that residents with physician ordered thickened liquids have not had the
required 16 ounces (2-eight ounce serves = approximately 300 calories and 16 grams Protein) per day for 5
months. It was also discussed with the CDM that the facility had liquid thickener in bulk and in individual
packets in the kitchen supply and that the milk could have been thickened daily to be served to the
residents for the past 5 months. The CDM stated she did not think of thickening milk in house on a daily
basis.
Interview with the Administrator and Consultant Dietitian on 12/13/22 revealed that they were unaware of
the issue and had not been notified by the CDM of these critical nutritional issues.
A review of the facility's diet census for 12/13/22 noted that there were currently 26 residents with physician
ordered thickened liquids of which included Resident #10, Resident #42, Resident #64, and Resident #70.
2) During the observation of the breakfast meal on 12/14/22 it was noted the resident's meal tickets
documented 8 ounces of Thickened Milk on the meal tray. Further observation noted that residents on
physician ordered thicken liquids were served milk in a 5-ounces cup. The surveyor went to the main
kitchen to weigh at portion of thickened milk that was designated for serving. During the weighing request it
was noted that the kitchen was without basic food measuring devices that included an 8-ounce measuring
cup (no measuring cups for food preparation as per standardized recipes) and the milk was measured in an
8-ounce ladle and was measured at 4 ounces. The surveyor informed the CDM that the portion did not
meet the approved menu portion and was not nutritionally adequate.
3) During the observation of the facility's thickened liquids on 12/13/22 it was noted that there were 4
residents with physician orders for Honey Thick Might Shakes (Liquid supplement). Further investigation
noted that the facility purchases only Nectar Thick Mighty Shakes and does not purchase Honey Thick
Might Shakes. it was also noted that the Nectar Shakes were being administered to the 4 residents on the
Honey Thick Liquids. Interview with the CDM on 12/13/22 revealed that the facility's Consultant Dietitian
had approved the use of Nectar Thick Milkshakes for Honey Thick Milkshakes.

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined that 13 out of 13 facility residents
that included Resident #10, Resident #14, Resident #20, and Resident #28, were not being served Fortified
Foods (high calorie and high protein) with meals as per Dietitian assessment and attending physician
orders.
The findings included:
Review of the facility's Fortified Food Program noted: The diet is important to ensure that calorie and
protein needs are met by serving nutrient dense foods. The goal of the fortified food program is to be able
to provide a higher calorie and higher protein food item to residents if the intake of regular foods or
beverages are not able to meet estimated nutritional needs. A fortified food program may be used in the
nutritional rehabilitation of individuals with poor nutritional status due to prolonged illness, burns,
malnutrition, decreased intake of foods or fluids or significant weight loss . Fortified hot cereal at breakfast
can be served in place of regular hot cereal or cold cereal .Fortified mashed potatoes can be served in
place of the starch at lunch and dinner .Fortified pudding parfait can be served in place of the sweet
dessert at lunch and or dinner.
During the observation of the lunch tray line service in the main kitchen on 12/12/22 it was noted that
numerous resident meal tray tickets documented a portion of Fortified Foods to be served. Observations of
these resident food trays noted that a portion of Fortified Foods was not included on the trays. Interview
with the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) stated that the lunch Fortified Food to be served was fortified
mashed potato (high calorie-protein ingredients). The [NAME] (Staff A) was interviewed by the surveyor and
CDM at the time of meal observation and noted to state that he did not know what Fortified Foods were,
unaware of how to prepare Fortified Foods, and has never prepared Fortified Foods. Staff working on the
tray line (Staff B and AC) confirmed the cook's statements to the surveyor. It was also discussed with the
CDM at the time that Fortified Foods are assessed and ordered by the Dietitian and Physician to provide
additional calories and protein to underweight and malnourished residents. It was also discussed that the
cook (Staff A) was also preparing and serving the breakfast meal and there was the potential that Fortified
Foods were not being prepared or served for breakfast meals on a daily basis.
Review of the diet census for 12/13/22 noted that there were currently 13 residents with physician ordered
Fortified Foods that included Resident # 10, Resident #14, Resident #20, Resident #28, and Resident #64.
Interview with the Consultant Dietitian on 12/14/22 noted that she was unaware that the dietary department
was not preparing and serving Fortified Foods as per nutritional assessment and physician orders.
