F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Findings include: Residents Affected - Few On 5/21/24 at 12:20 PM, Observed R30 lying in bed. Surveyor did not see a call light in place. Surveyor asked R30 where the call light was. R30 said Its behind my head. They put it so I can hardly get it. Surveyor asked R30 what's the purpose of the call light. R30 said I press the button if I need them. I have to yell out if I cannot reach the call light. Surveyor asked R30 to reach for the call light. R30 made slight movements attempting to look for the call light and said Its behind this pillow. I can't get to it. Minimum Data Set, 4/9/2024, Brief Interview for Mental Status score indicates R30 has moderate cognitive impairment. On 5/21/24 at 12:30 PM, Surveyor returned to R30's room with V27 (Certified Nursing Assistant). V27 located the call light on the floor and wrapped it around R30's left upper side rail. V27 stated the call light should not be on the floor. When R30 leans to the left the call light falls down so R30 cannot reach it. If R30 cannot reach the call light R30 will yell out for assistance. V27 stated V27 did not use the clip on the call light to secure it because R30 is just going to lean to the left and it will fall again. On 5/23/24 at 2:00 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated all residents should have appropriate call lights accessible to them. The call light should not be on the floor. The purpose of the call light is to alert staff that the resident needs assistance. Anybody can answer a call light. The clip on the call light should be utilized to clip where it is within reach of the resident. If one way of securing the call light is not working, then try a different way to secure the call light to keep the light in place. Staff does purposeful rounding, but they are not in each room [ROOM NUMBER]/7. We don't encourage the resident to yell for assistance, best case scenario is the light will be in reach at all times. Facility Call Light policy, 6/21, documents in part: Functioning call light placed where it is accessible to the resident. Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure two residents (R30 and R34) had a call light within reach and the facility failed to answer the call light within a timely manner for one resident (R151). Findings include: On 05/21/2024 at 12:06 PM, surveyor observed R34's call light is on the floor. R34 stated she does not know where her call light is. R34's facesheet documents in part: R34's diagnosis; Unspecified dementia, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, Hypothyroidism, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, (primary) hypertension, pain in left knee due to osteoarthritis of knee.

I was unaware the water flush was set wrong at 350 ml the previous nurse started the feeding at 10:00AM. Water flush should be set at 250ml as documented in the physician orders. On 5/23/2024 at 9:30AM V14 (Consultant Dietician) stated, I worked here for over three and a half years. I'm here once a week. I usually have a list prepared in advanced or referral to see residents. We have meetings once a month to communicate with nursing, Nurse practitioners and the Director of Nursing. I received reports on matrix with communication. I also follow resident that receive dialysis and tube feedings, and weight changes. V163 was on dialysis when she came to facility but no longer is on dialysis. The physician wanted her on Nepro her weight was elevated we have been maintaining it at 130 pounds weight she also had some abnormal labs. I estimated R163 needs with her actual weight, she is getting around 1800kcal 84 gr of protein 1657 cc of H2o we added protein due to skin ulcer bun creatinine is a little better. R163 tube feeding order is 45cc/hr and H2o flush is 250. When I'm here I look at g-tube bottles to make sure they are infusing correctly. If I notice rate for feeding or water flush is incorrect, I will address it immediately to the nursing staff, Assistant Director of nursing or Director. All staff should follow physicians orders for all nutritional needs. On 5/23/2024 at 11:28AM V18 (Registered Nurse) stated, I started R163 tube feeding and water flush before leaving yesterday around 10:00AM-11:00AM. Nurses should check g-tube feeding to make sure it's infusing rate and water flush correct each shift. We are also checking during medication administration. If feeding rate or water flush is incorrect it can possibly cause decrease nutritional intake, possible electrolyte imbalance or fluid overload. R163 feeding pump was set already since started on tube feeding so I didn't check the infusion rate. Nurses should check the electronic medication record or physician orders to verify feeding orders and water flushes every shift.
