F 0804 Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, staff interview, review of facility recipes, and policy review, the facility failed to properly prepare pureed food. This had the potential to affect all eight facility identified residents (#9, #10, #17, #29, #40, #47, #49, and #56) in the facility who receive a pureed diet. The facility census was 87. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Observation on 04/12/22 at 9:23 A.M. revealed [NAME] #21 prepared pureed ham for the lunch meal. [NAME] #21 stated there was one pureed diet, which was liquified, and the remainder of the pureed diets were standard puree. [NAME] #21 placed ham into the food processor, turned the food processor on, and then added water to the food processor. [NAME] #21 continued to add water to the food processor until the ham was a watery consistency. [NAME] #21 then scooped a portion of the liquified ham mixture into an insulated bowl and informed the surveyor the contents in the bowl were for the liquified pureed diet. [NAME] #21 then added thickening powder to the ham mixture to create an appropriate pureed-textured ham for the remainder of the pureed diets. Continued observation on 04/12/22 at approximately 9:30 A.M. revealed [NAME] #21 placed green beans into the food processor to begin preparing the pureed green beans. [NAME] #21 turned on the food processor and began adding water as well as a small amount of thickener to the green beans until the appropriate consistency was achieved. Interview on 04/12/22 at approximately 9:35 A.M. with [NAME] #21, verified he prepared the pureed liquified diet by adding enough water to the ham to make all of the ham liquified and utilized thickener to thicken the mixture back to a pureed form, unnecessarily adding more liquid to all of the pureed ham. [NAME] #21 stated he has always done it that way. Interview on 04/13/22 at approximately 12:15 P.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #88, verified water should not be used to aid in the process of making pureed foods. Interview on 04/13/22 at 12:42 P.M. with Dietary Supervisor #65, verified [NAME] #21 used water when making the pureed ham and pureed green beans on 04/12/22. Review of the Recipe Summary Card titled Pureed Meats (Protein) revealed food should be pureed until meats with a little stock/cooking liquid reach a smooth consistency. If needed, add additional stock or liquid to reach a smooth consistency and add thickener to achieve a mashed potato consistency. Review of the Recipe Summary Card titled Pureed Vegetables revealed food should be pureed until vegetables reach a smooth consistency. If needed, stock or liquid can be added to reach a smooth consistency and add thickener to achieve mashed potato consistency. Review of the facility policy titled Procedure for Thinned-Puree, undated, revealed pureed food was to be prepared according to the recipe and, prior to adding the thickening agent, remove one portion of the food needed to be thinned. The cook should then use broth, milk, juice, or half and half to thin the pureed item, adding one ounce of liquid at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
