On 12/08/21 at 11:55 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff N, a Certified Nursing Assistant, who
stated she was familiar with Resident #59. Staff N-CNA stated that the resident did not want for her to put
the Therapy Carrot, finger orthotists on and that she wants to do it herself. Staff N-CNA added that the
resident is left handed and did not like to have it on because she eats her cookies with her left hand. Staff
N-CNA was apprised that it was observed that Resident #59 has not had her Therapy Carrot in place since
survey started on 12/06/21. Staff N-CNA stated she offered to put it on 12/07/21 and the resident did not
want it. Staff N-CNA was asked if she reported this to anyone of Resident #59 refusing to have the Therapy
Carrot put in place and stated No because she did not refuse at all times.

to the facility's Restorative Nursing Program (RNP). She stated on discharge, the resident was able to wear
a carrot (Therapy Carrot, finger orthotists) on her left hand, restorative teaching was done with 100%
carried over, meaning that the RNP staff was responsible to apply the resident left hand device to prevent
the contracture from worsening. The DOR added that a splint was tried but she was not able to tolerate.
They tried the Therapy Carrot, finger orthosis for 5 -6 hours without any skin redness or blisters and that
was the reason the resident has the Therapy Carrot, finger orthosis. The DOR was asked if the facility had
a RNP and she stated as far as she knows, the Director of Nursing was in the charge of the RNP. She
stated they had one restorative aide. The DOR was asked if she was aware of Resident #59 refusing to
wear her Therapy Carrot, finger orthosis and she stated she was not aware. She added the staff need to let
therapy knows that the resident refuses so they can re-assess.

her right hand. During an interview, she stated that she couldn't eat with it and took it off. She stated she
will try to put it on again.

therapy screening form dated 12/08/21 documented .significant tightness noted in Left finger flexion digits
3, 4, 5; with carrot (therapy device) in place . During an interview, the DOR stated that the resident had
significant tightness noted in left finger flexion digits 3, 4, 5 and was complaining of pain. She stated she will
discuss it with the Director of Nursing (DON) and will recommend a physiatrist consult and Baclofen (a
muscle relaxant).

the facility's MDS Coordinator. The review revealed that the resident's assessment was not coded for RNP.
She stated that the Nspire Quarterly Data Collection, date 10/03/21, was coded wrong, should had been
coded as 'splint/brace'.
During the interview, the MDS coordinator stated that she had not heard that Resident #59 was refusing to
use the Therapy Carrot, finger orthosis. She added that if the resident refuses, they need to make therapy
aware of that and then they will update the care plan. The MDS Coordinator stated

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to provide urinary catheter and peri-care
appropriately to prevent possible urinary tract infections to the extent possible for 1 of 1 sampled resident,
Resident #50.
The findings included:
Review of the facility's policy, titled, Catheter Care, Urinary, revised on 09/05/17, documented, in part,
.wash perineal area with soap and water from front to back .clean catheter tubing .starting close to urinary
meatus, cleaning in circular motion along its length for about 4 inches, moving away from the body. Rinse
well using the same motion .
Review of the facility's policy, titled, Perineal Care, revised on 09/05/17, documented, in part, .on female
residents, wash from front to back to avoid urethral or vaginal contamination .
Review of Resident #50's clinical record documented a physician order, dated 09/15/21, for Indwelling
catheter care every shift. The resident's record documented an initial admission to the facility on [DATE] and
a readmission on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included, in part, Post Laminectomy Syndrome,
Cervicalgia, Presence of Urogenital Implants, Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Bladder, Chronic Pain
Syndrome, Need for Assistance with Personal Care, Abnormal Posture, Muscle Wasting and Atrophy, Fecal
Impaction, Abnormalities of Gait and Mobility, and Muscle Weakness.
Review of the resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment, dated 11/02/21, documented a
Brief Interview of Mental Status score of 14, indicating no cognitive impairment. The assessment
documented that the resident had an indwelling catheter (Foley) and needed extensive assistance from the
staff for her activities of daily living including toilet use.
Review of Resident #50's care plan, titled, The resident has Indwelling Catheter related to Neurogenic
Bladder, initiated on 05/18/20 and revised on 10/26/20, that documented interventions to include, in part,
Monitor for signs and symptoms of discomfort on urination and frequency .
On 12/08/21 at 8:59 AM, observation of catheter / perineal care performed by Staff N, a Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA), for Resident #50 was conducted. Observation revealed Staff N-CNA donned gloves,
removed a catheter leg bag from a plastic bag. Observation revealed the leg bag had approximately 20-30
centimeters (cc) of urine in the bag. Staff N-CNA then disconnected the resident's catheter tubing from the
drainage bag and connected it to the leg bag while the resident was lying in bed. Staff N-CNA did not rinse
the leg bag before reconnecting it to the catheter. Staff N-CNA stated Resident #50's urinary catheter
tubing is connected back to the drainage bag in the evening and to a leg urinary bag every morning. She
was apprised of urine noted in the leg bag and stated she did not notice it.
Staff N-CNA proceeded to provide the resident's care and stated that the resident had a bowel movement.
She proceeded to clean the resident pubic area, her left (inguinal) side between legs and the private area
with one wipe. A large bowel movement was observed.
Observation revealed Staff N-CNA wiped the resident's pubic area, the sides between her legs and

her private area with the same wipe with back and forth strokes with the same side of the wipe. Staff
N-CNA cleaned the resident's right side between her leg and her private area; then with the same wipe, she
was observed wiping the catheter tubing. Observation then revealed stool on the resident catheter. Staff
N-CNA did not separate the resident's labial to clean inside them. The resident was then turned on her side
and Staff N-CNA proceeded to clean her buttocks and rectal area with a wipe. Observation revealed Staff
N-CNA wiping the buttocks twice with the same side of the wipe. Staff N-CNA turned the resident on her
back and proceeded to clean her pubic area again with one wipe, she cleaned the area, but did not clean
between the resident labial area to prevent from spreading germs to the urethra.
On 12/08/21 at 9:15 AM, during an interview, Staff N was asked about her technique of using one wipe to
clean back and forth Resident #50 private area and the catheter. Staff N-CNA stated she did the care
wrong, added that she was to use one wipe to clean from top to bottom and then discard the wipe. She
added she was nervous.
On 12/08/21 at 3:03 PM, during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) was informed of the concerns
during the peri-care and catheter care.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a timely nutritional assessment, failed
to obtain weights, failed to monitor nutritional status, and failed to ensure consistent meal intake
documentation for 2 of 7 sampled residents reviewed for nutrition, Resident #89 and #296. Resident #89
had a significant weight loss and had a worsening pressure ulcer, which would indicate a need for
increased nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
A review of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, and Pan
Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance, titled, Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Clinical Practice
Guidelines, dated 2014, showed the following: Assess the weight status of each individual to determine
weight history and identify significant weight loss (5% in 30 days or 10% in 180 days). A comprehensive
nutrition assessment involves a systematic process of collecting, verifying, and interpreting data related to
nutritional status, and forms the basis for all nutrition interventions. The assessment process is continuous,
and early intervention is critical. The consensus statement by the Academy defines malnutrition as the
presence of two or more of the following characteristics: insufficient energy intake, unintended weight loss,
loss of muscle mass, loss of subcutaneous fat, localized or generalized fluid accumulation, and/or
decreased functional status. Malnutrition impacts pressure ulcer healing. Both inadequate nutritional intake
and poor nutritional status (malnutrition) have been shown to correlate to the development of pressure
ulcers, pressure ulcer severity, and protracted healing of wounds.

A review of the facility's policy, titled, Weight Protocol, effective date of 09/17/18, revealed that weights are
obtained and monitored on a regular basis. admission weight will be obtained by the restorative aid on the
day after admission and recorded. All residents are weighted weekly times 4 weeks following admission,
and monthly thereafter. Significant weight changes and/or noted trends will be evaluated by dietetic
professionals and documented accordingly.
A review of the facility's policy, titled, Nutritional Assessment, effective date of 09/17/18, revealed that a
nutritional assessment will be initiated within 7 days and completed by the Registered Dietitian upon the
next scheduled visit. To complete a nutritional assessment, the Dietitian must review the clinical records,
height and weight data, lab data, and diet history. It further showed that the nutritional assessment is used
to identify nutritional problems and formulate measurable goals.
1. In an observation conducted on 12/09/21 at 7:50 AM, Resident #89 was observed in bed. Closer
observation showed sunken eyes, hollow cheeks, protruding clavicle bones, and thin-looking legs.
Record review showed that Resident #89 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], was discharged to
the hospital on [DATE], readmitted to the facility on [DATE], discharged to the hospital on [DATE], and
readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #89 has a medical history of Diabetes, Stroke, and a feeding

was at 137.2 pounds, on 09/16/21 no weight was recorded, and the last weight recorded was on 11/11/21
at 125 pounds.
A review of the medical record, dated 10/22/21, showed that Resident #89 was intubated (in hospital) and
had been consulted for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Sacral Decubitus, and Pneumonia.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 12/09/21 at 7:50 AM, Resident #89 was noted in bed. A Tube feeding bag was
noted with Glucerna 1.5 (Tube feeding formula) with a start date of 12/09/21 and a start time of 6:00 AM.
Closer observation showed that the tube feeding was not running at this time.
In an interview conducted on 12/09/21 at 8:10 AM, Staff H, Registered Nurse (RN), stated that she is not
sure as to why the tube feeding was on hold, and further said that Resident #89 is tolerating his tube
feeding well. Staff H then proceeded to connect the tube feeding as per the physician's orders.
In an observation conducted on 12/09/21 at 8:30 AM, Staff D, Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant
(RCNA), was asked by the surveyor to obtain the weight on Resident #89. Staff D-RCNA proceeded to
locate a Hoyer lift and brought it into Resident #89's room. Resident #89's weight was recorded at 122.8
pounds, taking 2 pounds off for the weight of the sling.
In this observation, Staff D-RCNA stated that the facility's Dietitian provides her with a list of all residents
who need weekly weighing, and this is done via a text message every Monday. Staff D-RCNA further stated
that all residents' weights are taken once a month as needed.
A review of the Initial Nutritional Evaluation, dated 09/10/21, (7 days after his readmission) showed that
Resident #89 is with an Ideal Body Weight of 166 pounds, pressure ulcer noted on the coccyx area, energy
needs to be estimated at 2200 calories a day, protein needs to be estimated at 94 grams a day, and a plan
to change the tube feeding to Glucerna 1.5 at 75 milliliters (ml) an hour times 20 hours to better meet
needs. The physician order on readmission of 09/02/21 was for Nepro 40ml/hour unitl 480 mls was infused.
A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of September 2021, showed that
Resident #89 was receiving tube feeding with Nepro (tube feeding formula) at 40 ml an hour until 480 ml
was infused from 09/02/21 to 09/11/21. From 09/02/21 to 09/11/21, (9 days) Resident #89 was provided
with 864 calories a day and not the estimated needs of 2200 calories a day. The resident was also provided
with 36 grams of protein daily and not the estimated protein needs of 94 grams daily.
Further review of the September 2021 revealed a new order for Glucerna 1.5 at 75ml per hour for 20 hours
was started on 09/10/21.
Further review of this MAR showed missing documentations that the tube feeding Glucerna 1.5 at 75 ml an
hour was provided for the month of September 2021.
A review of the MAR for the month of October 2021 showed missing documentation that the tube feeding
was provided daily for Resident #89.
A review of the MAR for the month of November 2021 showed that when Resident #89 was readmitted to
the facility on [DATE], the resident was not receiving any tube feeding for nutritional support until the
Dietitian assessment on 11/11/21. A review of the November 2021 MAR showed that the tube

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of the Initial Nutritional Evaluation, dated 11/11/21, (6 days after his readmission) showed that the
Dietitian used a weight of 125 pounds that was taken on 11/11/21, and no weight was taken from
readmission that was on 11/05/21.
Residents Affected - Few
In this note, the Dietician estimated the energy needs from 2000-2300 calories a day and 85 grams of
protein a day. The resident's needs were calculated using Resident #89's actual weight and not the Ideal
Body Weight range. She further noted that Resident #89 is underweight and that he has a pressure ulcer
wound to the sacrum, but no additional protein supplements were recommended.
A review of the weights log showed the following: no weight was taken upon readmission on [DATE] and the
first recorded weight after readmission was not until 09/16/21. No admission weight was taken after his
latest readmission which was on 11/05/21 and his first readmission weight was taken on 11/11/21 which
was 6 days later. Further review of the weights log did not show that weights were taken weekly after
admission for up to 4 weeks as per policy.
A review of the weights log showed that Resident #89 lost 8.89 percent of his body weight in about 3
months which is significant weight loss. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed that
Resident #89 is with a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 01 which is severe cognitive
impairment.
A review of the Care plan which was initiated on 11/11/21 showed that Resident #89 is at nutritional risk
due to being on tube feeding, skin issues, and significant weight loss. The Resident will maintain adequate
nutritional status as evidenced by maintaining weight within 3 percent of current weight. It further showed to
provide tube feeding as ordered, monitor and record signs of malnutrition, and weight loss. Resident #89 is
also at risk for further pressure ulcer development as evidenced by the pressure ulcer in the sacrum area.
The Dietitian will monitor caloric intake and estimated needs and make a recommendation for change to
the tube feeding when needed.
A review of physician's orders showed that Resident #89 is receiving Glucerna 1.5 @ 75 ml an hour for 20
hours, starting at 2:00 PM and off at 10:00 AM.
In an interview conducted on 12/08/21 at 10:04 AM with the facility's Dietitian, she reported working
part-time in the facility. She covers mostly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but can also work remotely as
well. She stated that the resident's weights are taken upon admission, every week for up to 4 weeks and
monthly thereafter. The weights are taken by the restorative aide or the nurse that is assigned to the
resident. If she does not have an admission weight on a resident, she uses the hospital weight or weight
from the previous admission. The initial nutrition assessments are done 7 days after admission and then it
is done quarterly and as needed. High-risk nutrition residents are monitored monthly and if she can see
them sooner, but there is no actual policy for the timing of the assessments for high-risk residents. When
asked as to what is considered high-risk residents she said, new dialysis, new tube feeding, issues with
poor appetite, food intake, and residents with wounds.
The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) will complete the Dietary profile upon admission to obtain likes and
dislikes of foods, current diet orders, appetite, food preferences, current supplements, and much more. The
Registered Dietitian (RD) often looks at the Certified Nursing Assistants' documentation which is in the task
section of the electronic charting. She will look at their documentation regarding the percentage of meals
consumed by the residents. The RD stated that she attends the morning

meeting with other department heads on the days that she is working and the CDM attends the other days
of the week. She further stated that she is working mostly remotely now and does not come into the facility
as before. She reviews the monthly weights for any weight loss that is reported. The RD continued to state
that since coming back from maternity leave, she noticed an inconsistency with residents' weights.
According to her, some nutritional supplements are given by nursing, and some are kept in the pantry on
each floor. When asked about Resident #89's monthly weights, she reported that the restorative aide was
not here yesterday, but she is in the process of evaluating the monthly weights and stated that she will
check if the monthly weight was taken on Resident #89.
In an interview conducted on 12/08/21 at 12:06 PM, Staff D-RCNA stated that monthly weights are taken
from the 1st of the month to the 7th of the month. Since she is the only one taking the weights on residents
sometimes, she is not able to complete all weights because of a staffing shortage.
A record review of the Initial Wound Evaluation dated 11/15/21,10 days after Resident #89's readmission,
showed the following: an unstageable sacrum full-thickness wound to the sacrum area, with a length of 9.5
centimeters and width of 4.5 centimeters. A wound evaluation completed on 11/22/21 showed an unstable
sacrum wound with a length of 8.0 centimeters and a width of 4.0 centimeters. Another wound evaluation
dated 12/01/21 showed that Resident #89 has the following: a stage 4 pressure ulcer with a length of 8.0
centimeters, the width of 8 centimeters, and a depth of 3.0 centimeters.
A review of the Dietitian's notes and assessment did not show any recommendations addressing the
pressure ulcer or providing extra protein for wound healing.
A phone interview was conducted on 12/09/21 at 12:10 PM, with the Registered Dietician (RD), who stated
that she was out on maternity leave from June to the middle of September. When asked as to why they did
not have an admission weight on Resident #89 when he was readmitted on [DATE], she stated that she
was out and someone else covered for her. She further stated that when she completed the initial
assessment on 09/10/21, she attempted to get an admission weight of Resident #89 but was not able to.
The surveyor asked as to why they did not start Resident #89 on Glucerna 1.5 at 75 ml an hour to meet his
estimated needs when he was readmitted on [DATE]. She reported that it was not until she assessed
Resident #89 on 11/11/21 that she made the recommendations to increase the tube feeding rate. According
to her, the facility used the tube feeding rate that Resident #89 was provided in the hospital prior to his
latest readmission. The surveyor expressed concern that Resident #89 was receiving less than half of his
nutrition needs for 6 days prior to his readmission on [DATE], and that she did not address the higher need
for protein because of the pressure ulcer. In this interview, the RD was asked about the tube feeding order
that was not provided to Resident #89 from 11/05/21 to 11/12/21. The RD stated that the order for the tube
feeding was probably placed under other and did not show up on the nursing MAR.
Review of the progress note, dated 12/09/21, showed that Resident #89's wife was told that he was seen by
the wound care doctor, and she requested for him to go to the hospital for further debridement of the wound
and suspected osteomyelitis.
Another progress note, dated 12/09/21, showed that Resident #89 was transferred to the hospital.
In an interview conducted on 12/09/21 at 2:45 PM, with the facility's Administrator she was told of the
findings.

In an observation conducted on 12/06/21 at 1:10 PM, Resident #296 was observed in her room eating
lunch. She was observed using a straw to maneuver the food around the plate and not using silverware.
Biting at the foil wrapping on the juice container to open the juice. Further observation showed that she ate
about 10% of her meal with no assistance offered by staff during the duration of the entire meal.
In an observation conducted on 12/08/21 at 8:45 AM, Resident #296 was observed in her room eating
breakfast. Closer observation showed that she did not eat anything on her tray. No staff was present in the
room to help her with the breakfast meal.
In an observation conducted on 12/08/21 at 9:10 AM, Resident #296 was observed in bed. The closer
observation did not show any nutritional supplement at the bedside
A review of the Order Summary Report showed an order for nutritional supplement 120 milliliters twice a
day dated 11/23/21. A review of the weights log showed that Resident #296's weight was not taken upon
admission or weekly for 4 weeks. It only showed 1 weight recorded on 12/08/21 at 117.8 pounds.
Review of the Baseline care plan, dated 11/20/21, showed that under self-care deficit-Activities of Daily
Living (ADL) rehab potential (page 3) she is marked as independent for eating; all other interventions are
marked as needing 1 person assistance.
A review of the Initial Nutritional Evaluation, dated 11/22/21, showed that the RD used the hospital weight
record to estimate her nutritional needs. It further showed Resident #296 was eating 25 percent to 75
percent of her meals. The RD assessed Resident #296 with inadequate energy intake related to varied oral
intake of meals.
A review of the Minimum Data Set that was still in progress showed a Brief Interview of Mental Status score
of 04, which indicates the resident is cognitively impaired.
In an interview conducted on 12/08/21 at 8:30 with Staff B, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), she stated
that Resident #296 is not eating much because she is new to the facility. She further stated that Resident
#296 is only eating 25% of her meals and when she tried to feed her, she spits out the food. She then
proceeded to say, let me show you and attempted to spoon-feed Resident #296. Further, observation
showed, Resident #296 was accepting of the feeding assistance and did not spit the food out. Staff B was

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 review, the facility failed to ensure that they followed practitioners'
orders for enteral nutrition for 1 of 2 sampled residents, Residents #48, reviewed for nutrition.
The findings included:
Record review conducted on Resident #48 showed that he was readmitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of
Quadriplegic, Anxiety disorder, and Aphagia.
Review of the Order Summary Report showed an order for Enteral Feeding Formula Jevity 1.5 at 75 ml an
hour times 20 hours to start at 2:00 PM and off at 10:00 AM.
A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], showed that Resident #48 is severely cognitively
impaired. The care plan, initiated on 04/28/21, showed that Resident #48 is dependent on tube feeding for
his nutrition. Resident #48 will maintain adequate nutrition and hydration status and monitor and provide
tube feeding as ordered.
Review of the Dietitian's Assessment, dated 04/17/21, showed that the tube feeding running at 75ml an
hour for 20 hours will provide estimated calories and protein needs for Resident #48.
In an observation conducted on 12/06/21 at 10:34 AM, Resident #48 was observed in bed. Closer
observation showed a tube feeding bottle that was 'on hold'. Closer observation showed a tube feeding
bottle with Jevity 1.5 (formula) to start at 2:00 PM with a rate of 75 ml (milliliters) an hour.
In an observation conducted on 12/06/21 at 3:30 PM, Resident #48 was in his room. Closer observation
showed a tube feeding bottle with Jevity 1.5 that was at the 1000 ml mark out of a 1000 ml capacity bottle.
The tube feeding formula had not infused from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
In an observation conducted on 12/07/21 at 7:35 AM, Resident #48 was observed in his room. Closer
observation showed no tube feeding bag in the room.
In an observation conducted on 12/07/21 at 8:40 AM, Resident #48 was observed in his bed. A tube
feeding bottle was noted in the room, with Jevity 1.5 with a start date of 12/07/21 and a start time of 6:00
AM. The rate of infusion was noted at 75 ml an hour. Closer observation showed that the Tube feeding
formula was at 1000 ml out of a 1000 ml capacity bottle. This showed that no tube feeding was not provided
for the last 2 hours and 40 minutes.
In an observation conducted on 12/08/21 at 7:10 AM, Resident #48 was observed in bed with the Tube
feeding 'on hold'. The tube feeding was noted at the 850 ml mark out of 1000 capacity bottles. Closer
observation showed that the tube feeding bottle was started at 6:00 AM the day before (12/07/21). The tube
feeding bottle that started the day before at 6:00 AM should have had a new bottle observed on 12/08/21 at
7:10 AM.
In an interview conducted on 12/08/21 at 7:20 AM, with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), she stated
that Resident #48 is tolerating his tube feeding well. When asked as to why the tube feeding is 'on hold',
she said the morning nurse must have turned it off.

In another interview conducted on 12/08/21 at 7:35 AM, Staff A-LPN reported that the tube feeding was
running all night and that she turned it off for water flushes around 6:30 AM this morning.
In an interview conducted on 12/08/21 at 10:26 AM with the facility Clinical Dietitian, she was asked as to
when would a new tube feeding bottle need to be changed if Resident #48 tube feeding was running as
ordered. She stated that a new tube feeding bottle should have been changed at around 4 AM. Resident
#48's estimated protein need is at 85 grams a day and calories need between 2100 to 2500. The
Registered Dietitian stated the tube feeding bottle observed by surveyor did not make sense. She further
acknowledged that the tube feeding for Resident #48 was not running as ordered.
