for 24 hours and may substitute Jevity 1.5 if Nutren is unavailable (ordered 05/23/24). The order did not
specify an administration rate for the substitution of Jevity 1.5.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for June 2024 revealed there was no
documentation of Resident #42's enteral nutrition being held at any point from 06/01/24 to 06/30/24 and it
was documented that Resident #42 received 400 ml of Nutren 2.0 on each of three shifts every day, which
indicated Resident #42 received the full ordered amount of 1200 ml per day, every day. There were no
variances in the amount of formula infused and every shift was documented as exactly 400 ml infused.
Enteral feeding residuals were documented ranging from 0 ml to 60 ml and there was no documentation on
the MAR of any residual greater than 60 ml.
On 06/09/2024 Resident #42 weighed 161.2 pounds (lbs) and on 07/03/2024 Resident #42 weighed 150.7
lbs, which is a significant weight loss of 10.5 pounds (6.51%) in one month. On 07/04/24 Resident #42
weighed 150.7 pounds. There was no documentation in the medical record of the physician or Registered
Dietitian (RD) #278 being notified of the weight loss.
Review of the progress note dated 06/17/24 at 5:27 A.M. revealed Resident #42 had emesis, the physician
was notified and stated to check residuals and report any further episodes of emesis, Resident #42 had
further emesis and residuals greater than 100 ml during morning medication pass, and the tube feeding
was turned off.
Review of the progress note dated 06/17/24 at 4:29 P.M. revealed Resident #42 had no further emesis.
Further review of the progress notes dated 06/17/24 through 07/09/24 revealed there were no additional
nurses notes indicating the tube feeding was turned off or held, there was no note indicating how long the
tube feeding was turned off on 06/17/24 or when it was turned back on, and there were no notes indicating
Jevity 1.5 had to be used due to unavailability of Nutren 2.0.
Review of the nutrition progress note dated 07/09/24 at 10:50 A.M. revealed Resident #42 had a 6.5%
weight loss from 06/09/24 to 07/04/24. The note indicated Resident #42 had a period of intolerance as
evidenced by emesis and Jevity 1.5 had to be used for a period of time as Nutren 2.0 was unavailable. The
note did not specify a timeframe for the intolerance or use of Jevity 1.5, and the note did not specify an
administration rate for Jevity 1.5. RD #278 recommended continuing the tube feeding

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 08/21/24 at 5:37 P.M., an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the MAR for June
2024 indicated Resident #42 received the same amount of formula on every shift, there was no indication
on the MAR for when Jevity 1.5 had to be used, there was no specification in the order for an administration
rate if Jevity 1.5 had to be substituted for Nutren 2.0, and the nurses note on 06/17/24 indicated Resident
#42's tube feeding had to be turned off. She further stated that when the weight loss occurred, she told RD
#278 that weight loss for a resident with tube feeding is the facility's fault.
Residents Affected - Few
On 08/22/24 at 8:41 A.M., an interview with the DON stated RD #278 should have specified an
administration rate for the use of Jevity 1.5. She also confirmed that although there was a nurses note
indicating the tube feeding was held, the documentation on the MAR indicated the full amount of formula
was provided and there was no indication on the MAR that the tube feeding was held at any point. The
DON further stated that the nurse on duty that day verified to the DON that she did not document when the
tube feeding was held or how long it was held.
On 08/22/24 at 10:49 A.M., an interview with RD #278 stated Resident #42 was not tolerating his tube feed
for a period of time and the tube feed had to be stopped for a period of time. He further stated the facility
was short on Nutren 2.0 and Jevity 1.5 had to be used for a short period of time which could have
contributed to the weight loss. RD #278 stated he did not know at what rate Jevity 1.5 was administered
and he did not know how long Jevity 1.5 had to be used in place of Nutren 2.0. RD #278 said ideally,
nursing should have contacted him when Jevity 1.5 had to be substituted so a rate adjustment could be
made. He further stated when he reviewed the weight loss, he did not review the tube feed formula intake
documentation on the MAR and he only used the information told to him by the nurses. RD #278 said he
thought the main cause of the weight loss was inadequate nutrition provided via tube feed due to the tube
feed being held and Jevity 1.5 being substituted for Nutren 2.0.
On 08/22/24 at 12:22 P.M., an interview with the DON verified there was no documentation of the physician
or RD #278 being notified of the weight loss on 07/03/24 (which was a Wednesday). The DON further
stated that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) meets on Mondays and Tuesdays and the notification would not
have occurred until the following Monday at the IDT meeting.
Review of the facility's policy titled Feeding Tubes, revised 06/30/22, revealed feeding tubes would be used
when medically necessary to maintain acceptable parameters of nutrition and hydration, the RD would
estimate a resident's daily nutritional and hydration needs, staff would be directed on the types of enteral
nutrition formulas available for use, the facility would collaborate with the RD to determine whether the tube
feedings meet the resident's needs and when to adjust them accordingly, staff would ensure the
administration of enteral nutrition was consistent with and followed the practitioner's orders, and the facility
would notify and involve the physician or designated practitioner of any complications.
Review of the facility's policy titled Weight Monitoring, revised 10/26/23, revealed the facility would ensure
all residents maintained acceptable parameters of nutritional status, interventions would be identified and
implemented with ongoing monitoring to maintain acceptable parameters of nutrition with intervention
modifications made as appropriate, a significant change was defined as a 5% change in one month or a
7.5% change in three months or a 10% change in six months, the physician should be informed of a
significant weight loss, meal consumption information should be recorded and may be referenced by the
IDT as needed, the RD should be consulted to assist with interventions and

Based on observations, medical record review, staff interview, and review of the facility policy the facility
failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than five percent (%). The medication error rate was
calculated to be 7.69% which included two medication errors of 26 medication administration opportunities.
This affected one resident (Resident #22) of six residents observed for medication administration. The
facility census was 69.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #22 revealed an admission date of 03/29/2024. Diagnoses
included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation (COPD), myocardial infarction,
Coronary artery disease (CAD), and cute respiratory failure with hypoxia.
Review of Resident #22 physician orders dated August 2024 revealed an order for Amlodipine Besylate
Oral Tablet 5 mg by mouth in the morning for CAD and Trelegy Ellipta Inhalation Aerosol Powder Breath
Activated 100-62.5-25 MCG inhale one puff orally in the morning for COPD.
Observation of medication administration on 08/20/24 08:42 A.M. revealed Registered Nurse (RN) #208
preparing medications to administer to Resident#22. The following medications were administered:
Amlodipine Besylate 10 milligrams (mg) oral tablet, Plavix 75 mg, Gabapentin 600 mg, Hydroxyzine 75 mg,
Omeprazole 20 mg, Carvedilol 6.25 mg, Isosorbide Mononitrate ER Tablet Extended Release 24 Hour 30

correct card and dose in her medication cart unused. She also confirmed she did not advise or assist
Resident #22 with rinsing her mouth after using her Trelegy inhaler.
Review of the Trelegy Ellipta Inhalation Aerosol Powder Breath Activated insert revealed Candida albicans
infection of the mouth and pharynx may occur. Monitor patients periodically. Advise the patient to rinse
his/her mouth with water without swallowing after inhalation to help reduce the risk.
Review of the facility policy, Medication Administration, dated 01/17/23 revealed facility nurses should
compare medication source with the medication administration record to verify resident name, medication
name, form, dose, route, and time.

rate if Jevity 1.5 had to be substituted for Nutren 2.0, and the nurses note on 06/17/24 indicated Resident
#42's tube feed had to be turned off.
On 08/22/24 at 8:41 A.M., an interview with the DON stated RD #278 should have specified an
administration rate for the use of Jevity 1.5. She also confirmed that although there was a nurses note
indicating the tube feed was held, the documentation on the MAR indicated the full amount of formula was
provided and there was no indication on the MAR that the tube feeding was held at any point. The DON
further stated that the nurse on duty that day verified to the DON that she did not document when the tube
feed was held or how long it was held.
