V24 stated that V24 forgot to sit, and that V24 should be seated to feed R34 to keep R34 at eye level and to prevent R34 from choking. On 09/04/24 at 11:17 AM, V26 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated when a resident is in bed or up in chair, the staff should be sitting at eye level when feeding the resident, and to prevent the resident from choking. On 09/05/24 at 10:48 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, if a resident is dependent on assistance with eating, the staff need to sit with the resident while providing feeding assistance to provide eye level contact for proper observation, to prevent choking and V2 stated it is a dignity issue which should be respected.

F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. 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 determine self-administration of medication was appropriate for one resident (R70) in a sample of 33. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R70's face sheet documents in part medical diagnoses including but not limited to Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following Cerebral Infarction, flexion deformity left fingers joints, pain in left fingers, and adult failure to thrive. R70's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] shows R70 is moderately cognitively intact. On 09/03/24 at 10:48 AM, surveyor observed Lidocaine 4% External Analgesic Cream on R70's bed side table. R70 stated one of the nurses gave R70 the Lidocaine cream couple of months ago for R70's left finger pain. R70 stated R70 uses the cream every other day, and R70 had used the cream this morning. On 09/03/24 at 2:53 PM, interviewed V12 (Registered Nurse/RN) who stated that all medications must have a doctor's order, and no medication either over the counter (OTC) or prescription should be kept at the bed side.

V23 stated no medication should be placed at bed side without doctor's order. V23 stated Normally, we are supposed to get an order for the resident to self-administer medicine. V23 stated that R70 did not have an order to self-administer the medication. V23 stated the potential problem is that any confused resident can walk into R70's room to swallow the medication, R70 can overdose the medication, and it is a safety issue. On 09/03/24 at 3:47 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that for medication administration, the nurse is expected to complete hand hygiene, check the five rights before administering any medications. V2 stated it is V2's expectation that nurses will not leave any medication at bed side without a doctor's order. V2 stated that the potential problem is medication error, other resident could take wrong medication, and could cause medical problem. On 09/03/24 at 3:50 PM, R70's Physician Order Sheet (POS) with active order as of 9/3/24 shows no order for self-administration of Lidocaine 4% cream and to keep medication at bed side.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to obtain a Physician order and update the resident record with the correct code status for 1 (R85) resident reviewed for Advance Directives in a sample of 33. Findings Include: R85 has diagnosis not limited to Primary Osteoarthritis, Right Ankle and Foot, Alzheimer's Disease with Late Onset, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hyperlipidemia, Essential (Primary) Hypertension, Nontoxic Single Thyroid Nodule, Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 3, Dementia, Long Term (Current) use of Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs, Long Term (Current) use of Insulin, Primary Generalized (Osteo) Arthritis, Cerebral Infarction due to Thrombosis of Right Middle Cerebral Artery, Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis Following Cerebral Infarction Affecting Left Non-Dominant Side, Major Depressive Disorder, Hypothyroidism, Long Term (Current) use of Anticoagulants, Localized Edema, Anxiety Disorders, Muscle Wasting and Atrophy, Need for Assistance with Personal Care, Difficulty In Walking and Abnormalities of Gait and Mobility. R85's MDS (Minimum Data Set) BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) document 04 indicating cognitive function as severely impaired. On [DATE] at 10:29 AM, surveyor asked V14 (Registered Nurse) R85's code status. V14 looked in the computer. V14 stated R85 has no code status. Let me check. V14 called admissions/social service and asked can they check the code status for R85 because it's not there. The surveyor asked V14 to print R85's face sheet and physician orders prior to making any changes. The surveyor then asked V14 if a resident was observed unresponsive without a code status what would be done. V14 responded, If I observed the resident with no code status unresponsive and they needed CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) I still have to assess the resident. I understand you need that code status, and it is very important. It is still my judgement if the resident does not have the Do Not Resuscitate POLST (Physician Order for Life Sustaining Treatment) form. On [DATE] at 10:39 AM, V4 (Social Service Director) arrive to the fourth floor and stated there is no code status order for R85 at the moment. The code status is usually just on the POS (Physicians Order Sheet) if they are a full code or Do Not Resuscitate. The responsibility for the code status would be conjoined between social service and nursing to make sure the POS matches the care plan. If there is no code status that would be an error on our part, that we did not audit. It may have been from a readmission, and it was not caught that the code status was not in place. On [DATE] after V14 (Registered Nurse) spoke to V4 (Social Service Director) and V14 was instructed by V4 to enter the physicians order for R85's code status. V14 entered R85's physician order for the code status of Full Code then printed R85's Face Sheet and Physicians Order to reflect R85' code status as Full Code. On [DATE] at 12:06 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated Advance directives for the patient are the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) status and we call the doctor for the order. Surveyor asked V2 the policy for Advance Directives. V2 stated, we always presume if a resident is a full code, they do not have to have an order. R85's care plan was not updated because there was no change of code status, that is what I am presuming. If a resident needs CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) the first thing the nurse does is go to the computer, the POLST (Physicians Order for Life Sustaining Treatment) binder is the back up if the computer is down.

R85's MDS (Minimum Data Set) BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) document 04 indicating cognitive function as severely impaired. Care Plan document in part: Focus: Advance Directives - R85 has appointed her POA (Power of Attorney) of healthcare and he wishes for R85 to remain a full code at this time. Date Initiated: [DATE]. Interventions: All staff will be made aware of the resident's wishes related to Advance Directives Date Initiated: [DATE]. Review directives with family as needed. R85 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R85 was hospitalized three times on [DATE], readmitted [DATE], [DATE] readmitted on [DATE] and [DATE] readmitted [DATE]. On [DATE] at 10:29 AM, surveyor asked V14 (Registered Nurse) R85's code status. V14 looked in the computer. V14 stated R85 has no code status. Let me check. V14 called admissions/social service and asked can they check the code status for R85 because it's not there. The surveyor asked V14 to print R85's face sheet and physician orders prior to making any changes. The surveyor then asked V14 if a resident was observed unresponsive without a code status what would be done. V14 responded, If I observed the resident with no code status unresponsive and they needed CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) I still have to assess the resident. I understand you need that code status, and it is very important. It is still my judgement if the resident does not have the Do Not Resuscitate POLST (Physician Order for Life Sustaining Treatment) form. On [DATE] at 10:39 AM V4 (Social Service Director) arrive to the fourth floor and stated there is no code status order for R85 at the moment. The code status is usually just on the POS (Physicians Order Sheet) if they are a full code or Do Not Resuscitate. The responsibility for the code status would be conjoined between social service and nursing to make sure the POS matches the care plan. If there is no code status that would be an error on our part, that we did not audit. It may have been from a readmission, and it was not caught that the code status was not in place. On [DATE] after V14 (Registered Nurse) spoke to V4 (Social Service Director) and was instructed to enter the physicians order for R85's code status by V4, V14 entered then printed R85's Face Sheet and Physicians Order to reflect R85' code status as Full Code.

F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On [DATE] at 12:06 PM, Surveyor asked V2 (Director of Nursing) the policy for Advance Directives. V2 stated, we always presume if a resident is a full code, they do not have to have an order. R85's care plan was not updated because there was no change of code status, that is what I am presuming. If a resident is admitted to the hospital all the orders are discontinued. When the resident is readmitted , they have to get new orders and look at the discharge orders from the hospital. The care plan is focused on the physician orders and the resident needs. The care plan and the physician orders should match.

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 oxygen tubing was properly labeled for 1 (R136) resident, and to ensure residents received the correct oxygen flow rate as ordered by the physician for 2 (R50, R136) out of 2 residents reviewed for respiratory care. Residents Affected - Few Findings Include: 1. On 9/3/24 at 10:51 AM, R136 was lying in bed alert and able to verbalize needs. R136 was using oxygen via nasal cannula. R136's oxygen concentrator flow rate was set to 3.5 liters per minute (LPM). R136's oxygen tubing was not labeled when it was last changed. R136 stated R136 has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and nursing staff sets R136's oxygen. R136 denied changing the flow rate of the oxygen concentrator. At 10:53 AM, interviewed V21 (Registered Nurse) and stated oxygen tubing is changed weekly and as needed. V21 stated oxygen tubing is supposed to be labeled to let the staff know when it was last changed. V21 stated R136 is supposed to be getting oxygen at 3LPM continuously. R136's electronic health records show R136 was admitted in the facility on 5/30/24 with diagnoses included but not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary, pulmonary hypertension, adult failure to thrive, and emphysema. R136's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] shows R136 has moderately impaired cognition. R136's physician order reads in part: Oxygen 3L/min continues for CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE WITH (ACUTE) EXACERBATION. R136's care plan date initiated on 6/3/24 reads in part: Give oxygen as ordered by the physician at 3LPM continuously. On 9/3/24 at 2:41 PM, interviewed V2 (Director of Nursing) and stated that it is the facility's policy to change the oxygen tubing weekly and as needed. V2 stated nurses must label the tubing when it was changed. V2 stated the purpose for that is for infection control that it's changed timely when it's supposed to be. V2 stated, nurses must follow the physician's order when administering the oxygen and should monitor the residents' oxygen that it's on the correct setting. The facility's policy titled; Oxygen Therapy and Administration dated 8/16/24 reads in part: Oxygen therapy shall be administered to patients as indicated and upon a physician's order. Confirm order from physician. Assemble equipment as needed. Date your equipment. Oxygen setups should be changed every seven days and as needed if heavy soiling is present. 2. On 09/03/24 at 11:02 AM, observed R50 sleeping in bed with oxygen infusing per nasal cannula. Observed oxygen concentrator infusing at 3.5 liters per minute. On 09/03/24 at 11:23 AM, with surveyor V13 (Registered Nurse) observed R50's oxygen infusing rate and stated, it's set at 3.5 liters per minute. V13 then went to medication cart and looked up R50's oxygen order in R50's electronic health record (EHR). V13 stated R50's order is for 2 liters per minute PRN. V13 stated V13 does not know how the oxygen rate got up to 3.5 liters per minute because when V13 checked R50's rate earlier this morning it was set at 2 liters per minute.

On 9/4/24 at approximately 10:39 AM, Surveyor observed the pureed preparation in the kitchen. V33 (Assistant Cook) pureed the braised beef tips with gravy and the garlic green beans. V33 did not prepare the pureed scalloped potatoes. V33 stated that V33 only prepared the pureed braised beef and the green beans because V33 already prepared the powdered mashed potato from the box, and this will be served to all residents on pureed diet. V33 stated that V33 used the powdered prepacked mashed potato and poured it with boiled water. V33 stated did not put any other ingredients because it's in a pack, just mix the powder with water and its instant mashed potato. V33 stated will not prepare the pureed dinner roll because there is already the mashed potato to be served. V33 and V31 (Dietary Director) stated that the recipe book and the diet spreadsheets are followed when preparing pureed food. V31 further stated that the residents' meal tickets should be followed, and everything listed on the meal ticket should be served to the resident. On 9/4/24, during lunch observation on the 3rd and 4th floors, survey team observed mashed potatoes being served to residents on pureed diet. At 3:07 PM, a follow up visit was conducted in the kitchen and obtained a copy of the Pureed Scalloped Potatoes. V31 stated that V33 added a scalloped seasoning when preparing the powdered mashed potato. Surveyor asked V31 to show the scalloped seasoning that was used. V31 stated it's not available since it was all used up this morning. The facility's Diet Spreadsheet shows for Day: 11 - Wednesday lunch, residents on pureed diet to receive pureed braised beef tips with gravy, pureed scalloped potatoes, pureed garlic green beans, pureed creamy custard pie, pureed buttered dinner roll, and beverage. The facility's Pureed Scalloped Potatoes recipe reads in part: Place prepared scalloped potatoes in a clean and sanitized food processor. Add milk gradually, as needed and blend until smooth. The facility's Diet Type Report printed on 9/5/24 shows there are 22 residents receiving pureed diet in the facility. The facility's job description for the [NAME] dated 12/1/19 shows that it is the Cook's duties and responsibilities to ensure trays are prepared according to diet cards in an efficient manner to meet scheduled meal and snack times. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure resident individualized diet order and food plan was followed affecting one resident (R159) out of 6 residents reviewed for nutrition. The facility also failed to ensure the diet spreadsheet and recipes were followed for pureed food preparation affecting all 22 residents receiving pureed diets in the facility's kitchen. Findings Include: On 09/03/24 at 10:41 AM, R159 said, all my meals are pureed, and I get mashed potatoes at almost all my meals which I am really sick of. I don't know why they cannot puree other things for me, so I don't get the same thing every day. R159 stated R159 is not allowed any liquids except water and is only allowed to have ice cream once a day. R159 said, it's because of my swallowing.

R159 received single portions of pureed pork, what appeared to be mashed potatoes (pureed rice listed on menu), pureed vegetable, ice cream, yellowed colored juice, applesauce, fortified pudding. No water on tray was provided on R159's tray. No gravy was seen on R159's pureed food. Observed R159's meal ticket documented in part, TRIPLE PORTIONS (3X) Food Serving, Fortified Pudding, Applesauce and Only Water for Liquids on Tray. Extra gravy is not listed on meal ticket. R159 stated I should not have been given the juice; I'm only supposed to get water. R159 says R159 gets given cartons of milk, juice, and coffee on R159's meal tray way too often. R159 stated, that juice shouldn't be on my tray. It is a mistake. R159 stated the amount of food R159 received does not look like triple portions to him and that R159 usually only receives single portions. R159 stated R159 usually eats 100% of his meals. Residents Affected - Some On 09/03/24 at 12:56 PM, observed R159's lunch tray. R159 had consumed 100% of all the pureed food on his tray, 100% ice cream, 0% juice, 100% applesauce, 100% fortified pudding. On 09/04/24 at 12:45 PM, observed R159's lunch tray. R159 received singled portions of pureed meat with gravy, pureed green vegetable, pureed bread, mashed potatoes with gravy, fortified pudding, vanilla pudding. There was no water or applesauce on R159's tray. On 09/04/24 at 12:47 PM, surveyor observed with V27 (Certified Nursing Assistant), R64's pureed lunch tray. R64 received single portions of pureed food. On 09/04/24 at 12:50 PM, surveyor observed with V27, R159's pureed lunch tray and V27 stated the portions R159 received looked the same as the portions R64 received. V27 stated R159 did not receive double or triple portions of pureed food. V27 stated V27 gives R159 ice cream after R159 finishes R159's meal because R159 does not like it melted. On 09/04/24 at 12:55 PM, V13 (Registered Nurse) viewed R159's lunch tray and reviewed R159's meal ticket and stated R159 is only allowed water based on R159's meal ticket and R159 should be provided with water on R159's tray. V13 stated R159 was not provided with any water on R159's tray and V13 does not know why it is missing. On 09/04/24 at 12:57 PM, R159 stated, I'm also missing applesauce from my tray which I use because it helps me swallow my food better. R159 looked at the mashed potatoes on R159's tray and stated, see? They gave me mashed potatoes again. Scalloped pureed potatoes sound very good to me. Some variety would be good! R159 stated R159 is not aware of R159 ever being given triple portions and said, that would be a lot of food on my plate and would be something I'd notice. R159 stated R159 usually eats 100% of the pureed food and stated R159 feels R159 could eat more food than is provided to R159. R159 stated the staff always gives R159 ice cream after R159 eats R159's lunch meal.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some instructions specific to that resident. V28 stated based on R159's meal ticket R159 should have received triple portions of pureed foods, applesauce, and water with meals, no juice or other type of liquid. V28 stated it is important to provide R159 with water on R159's tray because this is R159's primary source of water which R159 needs for hydration. V28 stated R159 should not have been provided juice because this has the potential to cause an infection if R159 aspirated the juice. V28 stated R159 should have received applesauce on R159's tray because it is listed on R159's meal ticket. V28 stated R159 is eating well and meeting baseline nutritional needs but if R159 received double or triple portions this could potentially promote weight gain which would be beneficial to R159. On 09/04/24 at 1:18 PM, V29 (Speech Language Pathologist) stated R159 recently had a Modified Barium Swallow Study, and the recommendations were for R159 to stay on pureed diet consistency and with thin water only with meals (no other liquids), one ice cream per day and extra gravy with meals. V29 stated it is safer to aspirate water versus something that is different than what the body normally has inside it compared to the juice which has sugar and coloring in it. V29 stated if R159 aspirated juice it could go into his lungs which could be painful, and water is safer. V29 stated R159 has a very good appetite and when V29 was working with R159 he routinely consumed 100% of the meal. V29 stated applesauce was R159's preference and if R159 feels like the applesauce helps R159 facilitate swallowing then it definitely could and should be provided to R159. V29 stated R159 should not have received the juice on R159's tray and R159 should have received water on R159's tray. V29 stated R159 should be receiving extra gravy with all meals to help the food go down better. On 09/05/24 at 9:57 AM, V31 (Dietary Director) stated the meal tickets reflect the physician generated diet order and any recommendations which come from the Registered Dietitian including food preferences and additional food items. V31 stated it is important for the staff to read the meal tickets carefully to make sure they pick up details of the resident's meal plan. V31 stated it is important for the staff to follow the meal tickets, so the resident receives the correct diet order and dietary interventions based on the physician diet order and Registered Dietitian's recommendations. V31 stated the potential problem of a resident not receiving extra portions when its part of their diet order is that their intake would be lesser than what they should receive for that meal which over time could potentially lead to weight loss. V31 stated R159 should have received triple portions and applesauce as listed on the meal ticket. V31 stated the kitchen staff is not responsible for putting liquids on resident meal trays, that is something the nursing staff does.

Requested V5 (Registered Nurse / RN) to R30's room, V5 donned gloves and access IV site by removing kerlix wrap to check IV dressing. V5 did not wear gown. No EBP signage posted on room entrance, no PPE supplies available nearby or by the hallway. She said IV fluid was started 3-4 days ago for hydration. At 11:58 am, V7 (Certified Nursing Assistant / CNA) stated has been working in the facility for 21 years and regularly assigned on 4th floor. Stated she is working with R30. She said R30 is incontinent of bowel and bladder, requires total assistance with transfer, bed mobility and toileting hygiene. V7 said incontinence care was done earlier and wore gloves. Stated did not wear gown because R30 is not on isolation. At 2:49 pm, Interview with V2 (Director of Nursing / DON) said resident who has foley cath, wounds, G-tube, colonized MDROs, with peripheral line, PICC line, central line, dialysis access site should be placed under Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) and signage should be posted by resident's door so everyone would be alerted when going inside the room. V2 said staff should be wearing proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such as gown, gloves when providing high care activities such as accessing IV site, providing incontinence care, ADL (activities of daily living) care.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 5-0.45% (Dextrose - Sodium Chloride) use 40ml/hr intravenously every shift for hydration for 3 days. Order date 8/31/24. Facility's policy for Enhanced Barrier Precaution dated 7/26/24 documented in part: EBP involves the use of gowns and gloves to reduce transmission of resistant organisms during high contact resident care activities for residents known to be colonized or infected with MDROs as well as residents with wounds and / or indwelling medical devices. The EBP requires the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of XDROs to staff hands and clothing. Examples of high contact resident care activities requiring gown and gloves use among resident s that trigger EBP use include: dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, providing hygiene, changing linens, changing briefs or assisting with toileting, device care use. On 09/03/24 at 11:03 AM, observed tube feeding pole at R64's bedside with no tube feeding hung or infusing. There was no Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP) signage posted outside R64's room. On 09/03/24 at 11:11 AM, V13 (Registered Nurse) stated residents on Enhanced Barrier Precaution include those who have any indwelling catheter for urinary, feeding tube, central line or open wounds. V13 stated Enhanced Barrier Precaution signage is posted outside the resident's room to give a visual alert to staff and visitors so they know to do hand hygiene before and after entering the room or wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when administering care. V13 stated R64 has a gastrostomy tube and R64's tube feeding is administered at night. On 09/03/24 at 12:19 PM, V13 looked in R64's electronic health record (EHR) and stated R64 has a physician order for Enhanced Barrier Precaution dated 09/02/24. V13 observed that there was no Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign outside R64's room and stated V13 does not know why there is no Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign outside R64's door. V13 stated R64 should have an Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign posted outside R64's room because R64 has a gastrostomy tube. On 09/03/24 at 12:21 PM, observed V13 posting Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign outside R64's room on R64's door. V13 stated, V13 called the Infection Preventionist Nurse who told V13 to post the EBP sign outside R64's room. On 09/05/24 at 9:40 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated if a resident has a feeding tube there should be Enhanced Barrier Precaution signage outside the resident's door to tell the staff what type of PPE to wear and when to where it. V2 stated the potential problem if there is no EBP signage on the resident's door is the staff may not know to wear PPE when providing care which would be an infection control concern because of the potential for cross contamination. On 09/05/24 at 10:22 AM, V3 (Infection Preventionist Nurse) stated V3 is the one who reviews all new admissions to see if they require contact isolation. If a resident has an indwelling catheter or open wound(s) they are placed on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. V3 stated V3 is responsible for putting up the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign outside the resident's room. V3 stated the purpose of putting up the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign is to notify the staff what PPE they have to wear when providing direct care to the resident and alert visitors to do hand hygiene before/after entering the room. V3 stated the potential problem if the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign is not posted outside the resident's room who required EBP is that the staff would not know to put on PPE for high contact care activities and therefore there would be an increased risk of the resident getting an infection from the staff. V3 stated V3 put in an order into R64's EHR on 09/02/24 for Enhanced Barrier Precaution when V3 found out R64 was receiving tube feedings.
