1) Record review for Resident #87 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included the following: Tracheostomy Status, Dependence on Supplemental Oxygen, and
Malignant Neoplasm of Pharynx.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Section C of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed that Resident #87
had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of 14 out of 15, which indicated that he was cognitively
intact.
Review of the Physician's Orders showed that Resident #87 had an order dated 01/14/25 for Trach care:
Cleanse tracheostomy site with normal saline, pat dry. Change inner cannula. Cover with drain sponge daily
and as needed, during the day shift.
Review of the February and March 2025 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) documented that Resident
#87 received tracheostomy care as per the physician's orders indicated above. Additionally, a review of the
March 2025 TAR audit report revealed Resident #87's Trach care was documented as administered on
03/01/25 at 7:53 AM, 03/02/25 at 8:08 AM, 03/03/25 at 8:00 AM and on 03/05/25 at 11:41 AM. On 03/04/25
no documentation or administration time was documented for Trach care.
A review of the Care Plan dated 01/24/25 documented that Resident #87 had behavioral problem of
intermittently removing inner cannula with interventions to document behaviors and explain procedures to
the resident.
A review of the Care Plan dated 02/12/25 documented that Resident #87 was noted to refuse trach care,
with interventions to encourage participation/interaction by the resident as possible during care and give
clear explanations of all care activities.
Record review of the nursing progress notes from 02/12/25 to 03/05/25 revealed no documentation of
Resident #87 refusing trach care or have been observed performing self-tracheostomy care. In addition,
there was no record of an assessment conducted by the facility to assure Resident #87 can self-perform
trach care safely and aseptically.
During the initial tour conducted on 03/03/25 at 12:07 PM, Resident #87 was observed with a tracheostomy
and was walking with his walker in the hallway towards the nurses' station; however, the tracheostomy was
not covered. Resident #87 stated he was waiting for the nurse to do his breathing treatment.
On 03/03/25 at 3:15 PM, Resident #87 was again observed in the hallway near his room standing with his
walker and was holding a clean Trach collar. He then stated he was waiting for the nurse to help him
change the collar. He was then asked who cleans the Trach, he pointed to himself. He stated he knows how
to do it, but it is hard to change the collar by himself.
An interview was conducted on 03/04/25 at 1:09 PM with Staff J, Registered Nurse (RN), who stated she
has worked at the facility for 18 months. She stated that if a resident refuses treatment or medication, she
writes it in the progress notes and calls the physician.

stated he has had the Trach for 6 years and has learned how to change the canula and clean the trach prior
to coming to the facility; however, he was not educated on how to clean it in this facility, and there has not
been a nurse present when he does the Trach care.
During an interview conducted on 03/05/25 at 2:55 PM with Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who
stated she has worked at the facility for 23 years. She acknowledged that she has not performed Trach care
for Resident #87 today; however, he often lets her know when he wants his trach collar changed. She
stated that she only changes the collar and cleans the area around the trach and Resident #87 usually
cleans the inner canula and sometimes he is seen with the canula in his hand. Staff H also stated that
Resident #87 does not often require suction and therefore, she does not do it. At this time, this surveyor
mentioned to Staff H that Resident #87 has been waiting for her to change his collar and will observe her
provide Trach care to Resident #87.
While waiting for Staff H to provide Trach care, Resident #87 was observed in the hallway with his walker
and was coughing. He walked into his room, grabbed a towel, walked back into the hallway and placed the
towel over the Trach to catch the phlegm as he was trying to bring it up. Then, Resident #87 was asked if
the nurse assist him to remove the phlegm using the suction machine, he stated no and that he knows how
to use the suction machine and sometimes does use it to clear out the phlegm. At 3:15 PM, Resident #87
was still waiting for Staff H to provide trach care. This surveyor returned to the nurses' station to locate Staff
H. There were a few staff members at the nurses' station including the nurse supervisor and the Staff
Development Coordinator (SDC). The nurse supervisor asked the surveyor if the incoming nurse could
provide the trach care since it was change of shifts. The nurse supervisor, the SDC, and the Director of
Nursing (DON) were informed that Staff H had documented in Resident #87's TAR that she had already
provided Trach care this morning, however she did not perform the care.
A tracheostomy care observation was conducted on 03/05/25 at 3:24 PM with Staff H for Resident #87.
Staff H gathered the supplies from the medication storage room in a zippered bag. Staff H was joined by
the SDC for assistance. Staff H introduced herself to Resident #87 and advised that she was going to
perform tracheostomy care. The resident's room door was closed for privacy. Staff H and the SDC washed
their hands, donned on gown, mask and gloves. Then, the bedside table was cleaned and waited to dry
then, the protector was placed on table, and the supplies were laid out on the table which included saline, a
trach care kit, and a trach collar. Staff H removed the collar from the package and adjusted the straps and
then placed it back in the package. Resident #87 was asked to lay down and the soiled collar was removed.
At this time, Resident #87 had a cough with phlegm, and he used a towel to clean up the phlegm from the
trach opening (Neither nurse asked the resident if he wanted to be suctioned). Then Staff H removed her
gloves and washed her hands. She returned to the bedside table and opened the trach care kit and
removed the sterile gloves, however, did not put the sterile gloves on, instead picked up the saline container
and reached inside of the trach care kit without donning the sterile gloves. At this point, the SDC told her to
get another trach kit from the drawer next to the resident's bed.
Without performing hand hygiene, Staff H opened the second trach care kit and dumped all its contents on
the bedside table including the sterile gloves package which ended up under the sterile gauze. She was
about to move aside the sterile supplies to get to the gloves when the SDC mentioned to her to get another
kit. Staff H got another kit from the drawer and without performing hand hygiene grabbed the sterile gloves
package and fumbled with the sterile gloves and was unable to put them on and touched all the sterile
gloves with her ungloved right hand. At this point, the SDC asked if it was okay to take over the procedure.
The surveyor agreed.

The SDC went to retrieve another trach care kit from the drawer but there were no more and stated she
would get a few from the storage room. The SDC left the room for about 7-8 minutes during this time
Resident #87 was sitting at the edge off his bed waiting. The SDC returned to Resident #87's room with a
few trach care kits, saline and clean scissors. The SDC followed sterile procedure, the soiled disposable
inner cannula was removed and replaced with a new clean cannula.

On 03/06/25 at 10:40 AM, an interview was conducted with the SDC. She stated that currently in the facility
there is only one resident that has a Trach. She acknowledged that Staff H was educated on 11/09/23 and
on 12/07/23 after last year's re-certification survey, in which Staff H had difficulty performing Trach care
during that survey. She also stated that competencies are provided if a resident is admitted to the facility
with a Trach or as needed. If there is no resident admitted to the facility with a Trach throughout the year,
then the education is done annually since there is no need to provide the trach care. In addition, she
acknowledged that all nurses performed the Trach care procedure 100% after last year's survey and
therefore there was no need to conduct competencies throughout the year.
During an interview on 03/06/25, the surveyor discussed these concerns with the Facility Administrator and
the DON.
