Residents Affected - Few
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.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy on enteral tube
feeding care by failing to label the date and time the feeding was started for two (R2, R3) residents of three
residents reviewed for enteral feedings.
Findings include:
1. R2's medical diagnoses in current face sheet includes: cerebral infarction due to embolism of bilateral
posterior cerebral arteries, encounter for attention to gastrostomy, and cognitive communication deficit. R2's
Diet: NPO (Nothing by Mouth) diet, NPO texture, NPO consistency and her Brief Interview for Mental Status
(BIMS) dated 5/3/24 is documented as 6/15, indicating R2 has severe cognitive impairment.
R2's Physician's orders, dated 04/26/2024, document:
Enteral Feed Order every shift Enteral feeding G-Tube feeds with Jevity1.5 at 75ml/hour. Start at 17:00 and
infuse until 1575ml is reached per day.
On 5/6/2024 at 10:20am, R2 was observed sleeping with head of bed elevated to about 75 degrees, and
R2's nutritional supplement was observed running at a rate of 75mL/hour. The pump showed R2 had
received 1025 ml, and the bottle of R2's nutritional supplement in the bottle still infusing was 300mL. The
nutritional supplement bottle was labeled with R2's name, but there was no date or time when the
nutritional supplement feeding was started. V12, Licensed Practical Nurse/LPNstated he found the G-tube
feeding running this morning, and the nurse who hung and started the feeding should have labeled the
bottle with the time and date to let the next nurse know when to change it to make sure R2 gets fresh
feedings per orders. V12 stated he did not know when the tube feeding was started.
2. R3's medical diagnoses in current face sheet includes: moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, type 2
diabetes mellitus without complications, and dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, unspecified

On 5/6/2024 at 10:25am, R3 was observed in bed with head of bed elevated to about 45 degrees angle. R3
was difficult to understand, but expressed she wanted her door to remain open. R3's nutritional supplement
was observed running at a rate of 60mL/hr, and the pump showed R3 had received 848mL, with 500mL in
the bottle and feeding was still running. The bottle of R2's nutritional supplement was labeled with R3's
name, but there was no date or time when the nutritional supplement feeding was started. V12 stated he
found the G-tube feeding running this morning, and the nurse who hang and started the feeding should
have labeled the bottle with the time and date to let the next nurse know when to change it to make sure R2
gets fresh feedings per orders. V12 stated he did not know when the tube feeding was started because
there was no date or time on the bottle.
On 05/05/2024 at 1:18pm, V9 (Registered Dietitian /Registered Nutritionist) stated the nurse who hangs the
tube feeding should date and time the actual time the nutritional supplement was opened because it should
not be used for more than 24 hours. V9 stated if not labeled with time when it was opened and it is past 24
hours, it increases the risk for GI (gastrointestinal) issues. V9 stated she would not trust an open bottle of
nutritional supplement for more than 24 hours because it increases the risk of infection and the residents on
G-tube feedings have compromised health, and the facility should minimize the risk for infections as much
as possible by making sure the nutritional supplements are labeled and dated.
On 05/05/2024 at 2:37pm, V2(Director of Nursing-DON) stated the tube feeding should have a date and
time for when it was hung to let the nurses know the time it was opened, and after 24 hours, the nutritional
supplement should be changed to a new one to prevent infections from old nutritional supplement which
can clog the G-tube preventing the resident from getting the nutrition needed, and it can lead to GI
(Gastroenteral) issues.
