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
interview and record review the facility failed to administer tube feeding as ordered for 1 (R1) of 3 residents
reviewed for gastrostomy tube care in a sample of 3.
Findings include:
On [DATE] at 9:29 AM, V12 (R1's State Guardian) said the facility was not completing R1's tube feedings as
ordered. V12 said she had spoken with the facility wanting R1's tube feeding orders to be changed from
bolus feeding to continuous due to R1's decline and weight loss during a hospitalization prior to R1 being
admitted to the facility. V12 said the facility had told her they would speak with the dietitian to see if R1's
tube feeding orders could be changed. V12 said she had been notified the dietitian had recommended R1's
tube feeding orders be changed to continuous. V12 said 8 to 10 days, V12 was unsure of the exact dates,
she received a call from someone visiting R1 and was told R1 was still receiving bolus tube feedings. V12
said on [DATE] she arrived at the facility and saw R1 was still receiving bolus tube feedings. V12 said she
questioned V5 (Registered Nurse/ RN) about R1's tube feeding orders. V12 said V5 made a phone call and
told V12 the dietitian had made the recommendation for R1's tube feeding orders to be changed to
continuous but R1's Primary Care Physician (PCP) had not signed the order. V12 said V5 called R1's PCP
and obtained an order for continuous tube feeding as the dietitian had recommended. V12 said V5 told her
due to R1's gastrostomy tube (g-tube) being of a new design the facility did not have the tubing to perform
continuous tube feedings. V12 said R5 called the hospital and the tubing that was compatible with R1's
g-tube was delivered to the facility from the hospital.
R1's admission Record documented an admission date of [DATE] with diagnoses including: dysphagia,
adult failure to thrive, gastrostomy status. R1's admission Record documented R1 expired in the facility on
[DATE]. R1's [DATE] Minimum Data Set (MDS) documented no Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)
score due to R1 rarely/ never being understood.

Start date of [DATE] Jevity 1.2 Cal (calorie) oral liquid give 360 ml via g-tube 3 times a day for supplemental
feeding at 6:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 9:00 PM with a discontinue date of [DATE].
Start date of [DATE] Jevity 1.5 Cal give 270 ml 4 times a day at 6:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM
with a discontinue date of [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
R1's [DATE] MAR documented the 6:00 AM feeding for both the Jevity 1.2 cal and Jevity 1.5 cal were blank
on [DATE], 16, 19, 21, 22, and 23.
The facility's [DATE] nursing schedule documented V9 (Registered Nurse/ RN) was the only licensed nurse
in the facility on [DATE], 16, 19, 21, 22, 23 at 6:00 AM.
On [DATE] at 10:54 AM, V9 said she did recall R1 but had never taken care of R1. V9 said she had never
administered any tube feeding to R1. V9 said she did not work the hall R1 resided on. V9 said she was the
only nurse in the facility from 11:00 PM until 7:00 AM. V9 said another nurse cared for R1 and the other
residents on that hallway from 3:00 PM until 11:00 PM. V9 said it would be the responsibility of the 3:00 PM
to 11:00 PM nurse to make sure all the resident's feedings had been completed prior to them leaving the
facility. When V9 was asked if the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM nurse left the facility at 11:00 PM how would they
be responsible for administering a resident feeding scheduled to be administered at 6:00 AM, V9
responded she did not know and would have to get clarification.
On [DATE] at 11:03 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said she was not aware V9 was not administering R1's
6:00 AM tube feedings. V2 said it would be V9's responsibility to ensure R1's tube feedings were being
completed.
On [DATE] at 11:50 AM, V6 (RN) said on [DATE] and [DATE] she had documented she had administered
the Jevity 1.2 at 2:00 PM, the Jevity 1.5 at 10:00 AM, and the Jevity 1.5 at 2:00 PM to R1. V6 said she was
not sure if she administered the Jevity 1.2 or the Jevity 1.5 to R1. V6 said cases of Jevity solution are kept
in the residents room when the resident has a bolus tube feeding and V6 would have used whatever Jevity
was being kept in R1's room at that time.
On [DATE] at 12:11 PM, V5 (RN) said she was unsure why nursing staff were documenting they were
administering both Jevity 1.2 three times a day and Jevity 1.5 four times a day. V5 said R1 was receiving
Jevity 1.5 four times a day. V5 said she knew nursing staff were giving Jevity 1.5 because she was the
nurse that had placed the case of Jevity 1.5 in R1's room. V5 said when nursing staff are documenting tube
feedings there are several boxes that have to checked in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for g-tube
flushes and other things so perhaps the nursing staff did not notice there was a difference in the two.
On [DATE] at 11:03 PM, V2 said R1 was receiving the Jevity 1.5 four times a day. V2 said she knew R1 was
receiving Jevity 1.5 because the facility did not have Jevity 1.2. V2 said she did not know why there were
two different orders in R1's EMR for Jevity but the nursing staff should have noticed they were documenting
and administering the wrong Jevity.
R1's [DATE] Request for Diet Change PCP (Primary Care Provider) FAX Report documented in part .
(Registered Dietitian Tube Feeding) Change note. Family would like continuous feedings. Recommend
Jevity 1.5 45ml hour continuous rate, 180ml flush every 6 hours . Will adjust as needed . This document
was not signed or dated by R1's PCP.

On [DATE] at 3:13 PM, V10 (Regional Nurse Consultant) said R1's Physician signed [DATE] Request for
Diet Change PCP FAX report could not be found and R1's PCP's office had no note of it. V10 stated I
guess R1's [DATE] Request for Diet Change PCP FAX Report was never sent to R1's PCP.
On [DATE] at 3:05 PM, V5 said on [DATE] V12 had asked her why R1 had not been changed to continuous
tube feeding from bolus tube feeding. V5 said she told V12 she was not sure and would find out. V5 said
she called V7 (MDS Coordinator/ Licensed Practical Nurse) and was told V4 (Dietitian) had made the
recommendation for R1's tube feeding order to be changed to continuous, but an order had not been
received from R1's PCP to change the order. V5 said she called R1's PCP and obtained a verbal order to
change R1's tube feeding to V4's recommendation. V5 said due to R1's g-tube being of a new design the
facility did not have the tubing required to complete a continuous feeding. V5 said she called a local hospital
to see if they had any of the tubing R1 required and the hospital had delivered some tubing to the facility
that day on [DATE]. V5 said she changed R1's tube feeding order to continuous on [DATE] and discontinued
R1's bolus tube feeding.
R1's [DATE] MAR documented an order with a start date of [DATE] for Isosource 1.5 Cal continuous at 45
ml per hour every 24 hours.
On [DATE] at 9:36 AM, V4 said she was told by the facility on [DATE] R1's State Guardian had requested to
change R1's tube feeding from bolus to continuous and V4 had made that recommendation. V4 said when
V4 has completed the resident reviews in a facility and has made her recommendations she emails a copy
of the recommendations and the Diet Change PCP FAX Report to V1 (Administrator), V2, and V7. V4 said it
is V2 or V7's responsibility to ensure the resident's PCP receives the Diet Change PCP FAX Report in 24
hours and the PCP responds with in 24 to 48 hours. V4 said V2 is responsible to follow up on any
unanswered Diet Change PCP FAX Reports. V4 said V4 would follow up the next month when she was in
the facility to verify if the resident's PCP had agreed or disagreed with her recommendations. V4 said the
facility should have a system to track when recommendations are being sent to resident's PCPs and when
they are returned to the facility. V4 said the same calorie intake could be achieved by bolus and continuous
tube feeding. V4 said bolus tube feeding was preferred by most residents due to the increase in mobility. V4
said the facility had notified her on [DATE] they could only administer Isosource 1.5 to R1 due to the tubing
they had on hand. V4 said Isosouce 1.5 and Jevity 1.5 are comparable in calorie intake and the main
difference is Jevity has more fiber. V4 said she had told them Isosource 1.5 would be ok to give R1.
On [DATE] at 10:22 AM, V2 said she did not recall V4's [DATE] recommendations and did not know if they
had been sent to resident PCP's or not. V2 said due to working as a floor nurse so often she does not have
time to complete all the Director of Nursing duties. V2 said V4 would send the recommendations through an
encrypted email that required a password to open and V2 did not have the password to open them or to
print them. V2 said the previous Dietary Manager had printed V4's recommendations and Diet Change PCP
FAX Reports and would give them to V2 or V7 to be sent to the resident PCPs. V2 said the current Dietary
Manager was new and was not sure if V11 (Dietary Manager) had printed V4 [DATE] recommendations.
On [DATE] at 9:20 AM, V11 said she did get a copy of V4's recommendations but relied on nursing staff to
bring the signed copy of the Diet Change PCP FAX Report to her to change the resident's diet. V11 said
she would not have received any Diet Change PCP FAX Report for R1 due to R1 being a resident who
relied on tube feeding.
On [DATE] at 11:22 AM, V13 (Chief Executive Officer) said she was not aware V5 was not caring for
