Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adequately transcribe hospital nutrition
support orders for one resident (R1) who readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and failed to follow physician
orders for three residents (R2, R3, and R4) who require nutrition support. This failure resulted in R3 having
a severe weight loss of 11.7% in six months and R1 who was severely underweight with multiple pressure
ulcers to not receive adequate nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few

malnutrition, intracranial injury, hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, seizures, dysphagia, tracheostomy,
gastrostomy, oxygen dependence, AFib, and dependence on oxygen.

to be ran continuously. Also shows resident was to receive the following nutritional supplements: Prosource
one time a day and Juven two times a day.
R1's physician orders dated 5/26/2025 state in part but not limited to the following: TwoCal at 35
mililiters/hour to be started at 11AM and off at 6AM. It is to be noted that the the nutritional supplements of
Juven was not started until 5/29/2025 and Promote was not started until 5/30/2025.

R3 is a [AGE] year-old female who originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and continues to reside in the
facility. R3 has multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: respiratory failure, dysphagia,
tracheostomy, gastrostomy, seizures, dementia, psychoactive substance abuse, anoxic brain damage, and
pneumonia.
Residents Affected - Few
At 10:52AM, R3 was observed laying in bed with no tube feeding running.
R3's physician orders state in part but not limited to the following: Jevity 1.5 at 50 mililiters/hour x 21 hours
(On at 2PM and off at 11AM).
Nutritional assessment dated [DATE] states in part but not limited to the following: R3 exhibited a significant
weight loss of 11.7% in six months and 9.2% weight loss in two months. Recommended to increase tube
feeding to help promote weight stability.
At 11:00AM, V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) said when I arrive for my shift at 7AM, R3's tube feeding is
usually not running. I know it starts at 2PM which is when I start it. I am looking at R3's physician orders
now and I see it says run till 11AM, so I am not sure why it is not running when I get here at 7AM. V5 said
sometimes the CNA's will turn off the tube feedings when they are performing ADL care.
R4 is a [AGE] year-old female who originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and continues to reside in the
facility. R4 has multiple diagnoses including but not limited to the following: cerebral infarction, DM, pressure
ulcer, gastrostomy, epilepsy, psychosis, adjustment disorder, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, and
respiratory failure.
At 11:20AM, R4 was observed laying in bed with no tube feeding running.
R4's physician orders state in part but not limited to the following: Osmolite 1.5 at 85 mililiters/hour x 22
hours (On at 2pm and off at 12PM).
At 11:30PM, V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse) was on break when this surveyor asked to speak to her. V7 said
I gave her medication around 10AM and I turned it off then. I typically turn it off for 30 minutes-1 hour to let
the medication absorb and then I turn it back on after this.
At 11:45AM, V8 (Registered Dietitian) said when a resident admits from the hospital. The admitting nurse is
to follow the orders from the hospital discharge. When a resident comes from the hospital on a continuous
feeding, they should follow this order until I come in to evaluate and make the recommendation to change it.
I did not make a recommendation to change R1's tube feeding and recommended to keep it as continuous.
I wanted to monitor R1's tolerance of this new formula and since he has multiple comorbidities including
weight loss, was severely underweight, and had pressure ulcers, a continuous feeding makes sense for
now. When I evaluated him on 5/28/2024, I recommended to continue the continuous feeding.
V8 said if residents do not receive the correct nutritional support order, this can lead to weight loss.
At 2:11PM, V9 (Nursing Supervisor) said when R1 was readmitted on [DATE], I transcribed the orders from
the hospital. The hospital discharge paperwork had the formula and rate but not how many hours it should
be run. I thought his order was the same as when he discharged so I reactivated the

previous order. It is my understanding that the nursing management staff will double check it from there. I
found out later that he was supposed to be on a continuous feeding. V9 said when CNA's provide ADL care
such as changing and repositioning, they ask the nurse to stop the feeding temporality and the nurse is to
restart it immediately after they are done with care. When medication is given, the nurse is to stop the
feeding, give the medication and flush with water, then resume the feeding.
Per physician orders, resident was receiving Osmolite1.5 at 60 militers/hour to start at 11AM and stop at
6AM at time of hospitalization on 3/23/2025 and hospital discharge paperwork dated 5/26/2025 state
TwoCal at 35 mililiters/hour continuous. It is to be noted that R1 was not on the same formulary as prior to
hospitalization.
At 2:30PM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) said when CNA's provide ADL care, the nurse will turn off the
feeding and restart it when they are done. When the nurses give the residents medication, the tube feeding
can be stopped, the medication given, they will flush the tubing, and if everything looks good, they can
restart the feeding. To my knowledge, there is no reason to hold the feeding more than this after giving
medication unless indicated.
Facility policy titled Tube Feeding with review date of 9/2024 states in part but not limited to the following:
Gastrostomy tubes are used when an alternate method of nutrition is needed. Continuous tube feedings
are based upon a 22-hour consumption period or other time frame based on individual resident need per
Registered Dietitian assessment and delivered over a 24-hour period.
Facility policy titled Physicians Orders with last revision date of 01/2023 states in part but not limited to the
following: physician orders are followed as written.
