Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement dietician-recommended
interventions for resident with significant weight loss. This applies to 1 resident (R13) reviewed for weight
loss in a sample of 14 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 5/6/25 at 10:57 AM, R13 was asleep in bed with his mouth hanging open and his cheeks sunken in,
appearing thin. R13's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 3/20/25 shows his cognition is severely impaired and
he requires supervision with eating.
R13's Nutrition note written on 5/6/25 by V12 (Dietician) states R13 has had a 14.5% weight loss in the last
6 months. V12 wrote R13 gets large portions, fortified pudding at lunch, and fortified ice cream with lunch
and dinner. V12 noted that R13 has a pressure ulcer to his sacrum. V12 wrote that R13 is meeting majority
of his nutrition needs with supplements and the rest of his nutrition is provided with meals. V12 wrote that
R13's weight loss continues, despite multiple interventions.
R13's weights documented in EHR (Electronic Health Record) as the following: 5/1/25- 141 pounds, down
from 11/2/24- 165 pounds (14.55% in the last 6 months).
On 5/8/25 at 12:34 PM, R13 was observed eating lunch in the facility dining room, sitting next to V11 (R13's
wife). R13's lunch did not include a large portion, fortified pudding, or fortified ice cream. V11 said last she
knew, R13 weighed right around 175 pounds. V11 said R13 did not get pudding or a fortified ice cream and
R13's appetite fluctuates. R13 ate a slice of pie, about 25% of his sweet potatoes, 80% of his pea salad,
and 20% of his BBQ pork. R13 did not eat any of his cornbread and he received regular sized portions of
lunch items. Throughout lunch service, no staff were seen checking on R13 to see how much he had eaten,
how his appetite was, or to encourage him to eat. At 12:57 PM, V11 unlocked R13's wheelchair and
removed him from the dining room. Lunch had ended and R13 never received fortified pudding, a fortified
ice cream, or a large portion.
On 5/8/25 at 2:25 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said, if ordered, fortified pudding and fortified ice cream
should be given by dietary staff. V2 said if dietician recommendations are not followed, there is a risk the
resident will continue to lose weight. V2 said this is a concern because weight maintenance is important for
preventing disease and illnesses and promoting wound healing. V2 said she knows R13 is supposed to be
receiving double portions at mealtimes.
On 5/8/25 at 2:42 PM, V6 (Food Service Director) said V12 (Dietician) emails V2 and V6 to let them know
when she orders supplements for a resident. V6 said V12 (Dietician) will then put the recommendations
directly into the menu system so the supplements/recommendations will print out on the resident's meal
ticket for each meal. V6 said she then highlights on the meal ticket if it says double portion or fortified
pudding. V6 said the kitchen staff just had a meeting about supplements in which she told the staff if any
items are highlighted on the meal ticket, the resident must get those items. V6 said the server is responsible
for giving the resident fortified pudding and fortified ice cream and the [NAME] is responsible for making
sure the resident gets double, or large portions. V6 then provided surveyor with R13's meal ticket, which
showed large portions with all meals and fortified pudding at lunch. V6 said residents with large portions
ordered should get double scoops. V6 said V12 (Dietician) did not add fortified ice cream onto R13's meal
ticket. V6 then spoke with V12 to verify and V12 told V6 that R13 is also supposed to be on fortified ice
cream. When V6 was told R13 did

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow the physician order to administer
intravenous (IV) antibiotics. This applies to 1 of 1 resident reviewed (R225) for IV antibiotics in a sample of
14.
Residents Affected - Few
The Findings include:
R225 is an [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with an admitting diagnosis including infection and
inflammatory reaction due to an indwelling urethral catheter.
Record review on R225's Physician Order Sheet (POS) dated 5/6/25 indicates: Meropenem-Sodium
Chloride intravenous solution reconstituted 1 gram in 50 milliliters (1gm/50ml). Use 1 gm IV every 8 hours
for bacterial infection until 5/11/25 23:00.
On 5/6/25 at 10:31 AM, R225 was observed in his bed with a 100 ml 0.9 NS reconstituted with 1-gram
Meropenem infusing at 50 ml/hr. The infusion pump was programmed for Meropenem infusing at 50 ml/hr
with only 50 ml as the volume to be infused.
On 5/6/25 at 11:58 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, I am supposed to mix Meropenem 1 gram with 50
ml of 0.9 NS, but I didn't have 50 ml bag and that's why I mixed with a 100 ml bag After reconstituting 1 gm
of Meropenem with 100 ml 0.9 NS, the resident is going to get only half the dose if I run it at 50 cc/hr for an
hour.
On 5/6/2025 at 11:58 AM, there was no documentation in R225's medical record that showed R225's
Physician was notified that 50ml IV bags were not available and that 100ml would need to be infused for the
full Meropenem dose, or if the 100ml with the full dose would require more time for the infusion, or if
infusing 100ml over one hour was acceptable.
The facility presented a policy on Administering Medications through Secondary IV tubing document (last
approved 1/2024): Review physician order and confirm the 5 rights of medication (right resident, medication
name, dose, route, rate). If no rate is ordered, calculate the rate according to dose, volume, and time
ordered.

wrong with it. If the edges are dented even if we dropped the can, we would not use the can of food. Food
should be labeled with an opened on and use by date, so we know when to pull it off the shelf. There is a
safety risk using food that is outdated it could be spoiled and cause illness. Food items should be labeled

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP)
during high contact resident care activities and failed to perform hand hygiene during incontinent care. This
applies to 3 of 3 residents (R6, R13, and R225) in a sample of 14.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
1. R6 is a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract infection and
neuromuscular bladder dysfunction.
On 5/6/25 at 10:39 AM, R6 was in her bed with an EBP sign on the entry door, requiring gloves and a gown
to provide high-touch resident care activities. R5 was observed with an indwelling catheter bag on the floor
with full of urine.
On 5/6/25 at 10:40 AM, V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated that she is not aware of the last time
the bag was emptied, and it was supposed to be emptied every shift. V5 emptied 1600 milliliters (ml) of
urine without wearing a gown and stated that the bag shouldn't be on the floor.
2. R225 is an [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including infection and inflammatory
reaction due to an indwelling urethral catheter.
On 05/06/25 10:35 AM, R225 was in his bed with an EBP sign at the entry door, requiring gloves and a
gown when providing high-touch resident care activities.
On 05/06/25 at 10:36 AM, observed V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) touching the resident's linen and
indwelling catheter tubing without wearing a gown.
05/08/25 10:38 PM V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated all of our staff are supposed to wear a gown and
gloves when providing high touch resident care activities, including indwelling catheter care, for residents
on EBP, and the indwelling catheter bag shouldn't be on the floor.
The facility provided the Enhanced Barrier Precaution Guidelines dated 05/2024 document: 1. Enhanced
Barrier Precautions (EBP) is an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant
organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities when
contact precautions do not otherwise apply.
3. On 5/8/25 V14 (Wound Care Family Nurse Practitioner) and V13 (Registered Nurse) were observed
providing incontinence care for R13 prior to performing wound care. V13 and V14 rolled R13 onto his right
side. Then with gloved hands, V13 used a wipe to remove stool from R13's buttocks. After wiping away
R13's stool, V13 did not change her gloves. V13 and V14 then switched sides of the resident so V14 could
measure R13's sacral wound. When V13 arrived at the right side of R13's bed, she placed her left hand
with the soiled glove on R13's left buttock and her soiled right gloved hand on R13's posterior thigh to hold
R13 in place while V14 measured his wound.
On 5/8/25 at 2:25 PM, V2 (DON) said after providing incontinence care and wiping away stool from a
resident, the first thing the staff member should do is remove their gloves, wash their hands, and put on
new gloves. V2 said the staff member should remove soiled gloves before touching a clean area
