This affected one (#2) random resident observed of 13 residents identified receiving enteral tube feeding. The facility census was 118.
Findings include: Review of Resident #2's medical record revealed re-admission date of 01/06/19, with medical diagnosis including: dysphasia, respiratory failure and tracheotomy. Review of the physician orders for April 2019 identified Resident #2 should be receiving enteral tube feeding (Isosource 1.5) 40 milliliter/hour (ml/hour) via peg tube around the clock. Observation of Resident #2 on 04/04/19 at 8:30 A.M., during her medication administration time, revealed Resident #2 was noted to be receiving enteral tube feeding at that time of Isosurce 1.5 at a rate of 60 ml/hour. The observation identified the bag of solution hanging did not include the rate at which the feeding should be infused. Registered Nurse (RN) #233 was observed to place the tube feeding on hold, administer Resident #2's medication and restart the enteral feeding at 60 ml/hour. Interview with RN #233 on 04/04/19 at 8:42 A.M., confirmed the current medication administration record (MAR) identified Resident #2 should be receiving her enteral feeding at 40 ml/hour. RN #233 then entered Resident #2's room and changed the feeding rate to 40/ml hour and confirmed there was no rate identified on the bag currently hanging. RN #233 obtained Resident #2's current physician orders and confirmed Resident #2 should be receiving the tube feeding at 40 ml/hour and she is not sure when or whom had started Resident #2's tube feeding pump at 60 ml/hr. Review of the facility policy titled Enteral Feeding dated 01/30/07, identified feeding container is to be labeled with formula name, strength, rate, date, time, patient name and nurses initials.

Review of Resident #88's medical record revealed an admission date of 01/28/19, with diagnoses including: throat mass, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, throat cancer, and dementia. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], identified Resident #88 was receiving an anti-psychotic medication (Seroquel 200 mg) and identified no behaviors or mood issues. The assessment identified Resident #88 had a BIMS (brief interview for mental status) score of 11, which identifies mildly impaired cognition. Further review of the record identified no targeted behaviors Resident #88 was being evaluated for. The medical record identified no psychiatric history and or targeted behaviors Resident #88 may have.

A telephone interview was completed with Resident #88's daughter, whom is also listed as Power of Attorney (POA), on 04/04/19 at 1:37 P.M. Resident #88's POA identified she believed the medication Seroquel was used for an anti-depressant.
