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 ensure tube feeding ordered by the physician was accurately measured. This applies to 1 of 2 residents (R4) reviewed for tube feeding in the sample of 17. The findings include:R4's current order summary shows, Resident has feeding tube and is NPO (nothing by mouth). The same report also shows, Jevity 1.5 cal (calorie)/fiber oral liquid (nutritional supplements), give 240 ml via [feeding tube] five times a day for nutrition support. On 1/28/26 at 11:21 AM, V4 Registered Nurse (RN) was giving R4 his scheduled tube feeding. She had an opened bottle of Jevity 1.5 calorie tube feeding formula dated 1/27/26 opened at 4:30 PM. She poured the tube feeding formula into a 30 ml (milliliter) medicine cup. A 30 ml medicine cup is marked at the top of the cup. She filled it up without making sure it was 30 mls. She continued to do that 4 times and poured each one into a 120 ml drinking cup. She stated, she does this 2 times because each time is a total of 120 mls equaling 240 mls total. The drinking cup was not full measuring 120 mls. She poured the first cup full of tube feeding formula into R4's feeding tube. Once that was complete, she used the 30 ml medicine cup to measure the tube feeding formula again. She did not make sure the amount was 30 mls and just poured the tube feeding formula into the medicine cup and then immediately into the other drinking cup. She was able to do that 2 times when the bottle of tube feeding formula was empty. She had to open another bottle of tube feeding formula to finish the tube feeding. She stated, that is how she always does his tube feedings. The 120 ml drinking cup was not full of tube feeding formula. On 1/28/26 at 4:37 PM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) showed this surveyor a bottle of R4's tube feeding formula. Each bottle contains 1000 mls of formula. R4 is ordered to have 1,200 mls of tube feeding formula per day (240 mls X 5 = 1,200 mls). The formula bottle V4 RN used at 11:21 AM was opened and labeled that it was opened the day before prior to R4's 5:00 PM feeding. The 11:21 AM feeding, V4 RN did was R4's 5th feeding for that bottle. If R4 was given the correct amount of tube feeding formula V4 RN would have had to use 200 mls of the new bottle of formula instead she only used approximately 60 mls. The tube feeding was short 140 mls. V2 DON, confirmed this information and agreed that R4 was not given the correct amount of tube feeding formula that is ordered by the physician. She also stated, the nurses should be using the syringe that is provided to accurately measure the tube feeding formula ensuring R4 is receiving the correct amount ordered. R4's current care plan shows, R4 requires tube feeding (bolus feeds via [feeding tube] r/t esophageal dysphagia which as led to malnutrition. The facility's Enteral Nutritional Therapy, (tube feeding) policy dated 10/15/15 shows, Purpose: To provide liquid nourishment through a tube, inserted into the stomach. To provide hydration through a tube inserted into the stomach. Procedure: .5. Administer the amount of feeding to be given.
