F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 severity, with other behavioral disturbance. R3's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS), dated 4/30/24, is documented as 3/15, indicating R2 has severe cognitive impairment. R3's diet is documented as: NAS (No Added Salt) diet, Puree texture, thin liquids consistency. R3's Physician's orders, dated 01/15/2024, document: Enteral Feed Order every shift Enteral feeding G-Tube type(G-tube) Jevity1.2, Rate: 60ml/hr. Start at 5pm and infuse until (2pm: total volume 1260 cc) is reached per day. Turn off during ADLs(Activities od Daily Living) and PRN(As Needed).

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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. Facility policy titled Enteral Tube Feeding Care, dated 7/28/23, documents: Check that the feeding bag is properly labeled to include: -Date and time feeding was started FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145875 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
