What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 11 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, staff interview, medical record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure staff followed the policy to check placement of the resident's gastrostomy tube (G-tube) before medication was administered. This affected one (#62) of four residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 60. Findings included: Review of an admission medical record for Resident #62 revealed an admission on [DATE]. Diagnoses for Resident #62 included: moderate protein-calorie malnutrition and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids) in the oral phase. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 12/11/24, revealed Resident #62 had severe cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident #62 was dependent on staff for completion of all activities of daily living (ADLs). The MDS also revealed Resident #62 received 51% or more of their total calories and fluid intake through their feeding tube. Review of Resident #62's care plan dated 12/10/24, included a focus area, for at nutritional and dehydration risk related to dependence on a G-tube and the need for a therapeutic formula. The care plan directed staff to provide tube feeding and check residuals per orders. Review of Resident #62's Physician Order Summary Report for active physician orders as of 12/11/24, revealed an order dated 12/04/24, to check the residual volume, hold the tube feeding, and notify the physician if the residual was over 60 milliliters. The Physician Order Summary Report also revealed an order dated 12/09/24, to check the resident's G-tube placement every shift. Observation on 12/11/24 at 8:40 A.M., during the medication administration, Registered Nurse (RN) #3 prepared medication to administer to Resident #62 by way of the G-tube. After preparation, at 9:10 A.M., RN #3 placed the G-tube feeding pump on hold, flushed the tube with water, and then pulled back on the syringe to check residual, which was clear with tan colored particles. The observation revealed RN #3 proceeded to administer Resident #62's medications. Interview on 12/11/24 at 9:20 A.M., with RN #3 stated she instilled water by way of a syringe to check the placement of Resident #62's G-tube. RN #3 stated she should not have used water to check placement because there was a danger that water could have gone into the wrong place (somewhere other than the resident's stomach).

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interviewed on 12/12/24 at 2:16 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated nurses should not use water to check G-tube placement because if the tube was not in the correct location, the installation of water could cause harm to the resident. Interview on 12/12/24 at 2:20 P.M., the Administrator stated she expected the nurses to use the facility policy when they checked G-tube placement. Review of the policy titled, Confirming Placement of Feeding Tubes, revised November 2018, indicated, the purpose of this procedure is to ensure proper placement of an existing feeding tube prior to administering enteral feedings or medication. According to the policy, To confirm placement of an existing feeding tube at the bedside: 1. Test whether the tube is properly positioned: a. Observe for symptoms of elevated gastric residual volume (GRV): (1) A sharp increase in residual volume may indicate that a small bowel tube has moved into the stomach. (2) Little to no residual volume may suggest that the tube has migrated from the stomach to the esophagus. b. Observe and check the pH [potential of hydrogen] of aspirate: (1) Fasting stomach contents will have a clear and colorless or grassy green and brown appearance. (2) Fluids from the pleural space [lungs] may have a pale yellow, serous appearance. (3) Post-pyloric/small bowel contents can be bile-stained, light to dark yellow or greenish-brown. (4) Fasting stomach acid will have a pH of 5 or less. (5) Fluid from the pleural space will have a pH of 7 or higher. (6) A pH of 5 or less suggests that the tube is placed in the stomach. However, a pH of 6 or greater is not definitive of placement outside the stomach. 2. If the above suggests improper tube positioning, do not administer feeding or medication. Notify the Charge Nurse or Physician. When correct tube placement has been verified, flush tubing with at least 30 mL [milliliters] warm water (or prescribed amount).

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, staff interview, medical record review, and policy review, the facility failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than five percent (%). There were 3 medication errors of 38 medication opportunities, which resulted in a medication error rate of 7.89%. This affected two (#62 and #111) of four residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 60. Residents Affected - Few Findings included: 1. Review of an admission medical record for Resident #111 revealed an admission date of 12/04/24. Diagnoses for Resident #111 included: hypertensive urgency, hypertensive chronic kidney disease, atherosclerotic heard disease, and essential hypertension. Observation on 12/10/24 beginning at 8:14 A.M., during medication administration, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1 prepared one vitamin B12, 500 micrograms (mcg) and one enteric coated aspirin, 81 milligrams (mg). The medications were administered to Resident #111. Review of Resident #111's physician Order Summary Report for active orders as of 12/11/24, revealed orders dated 12/05/24, for one chewable aspirin (not enteric coated), 81 mg in the morning for stroke prevention and for cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) 2000 mcg, one tablet every morning related to a vitamin B12 deficiency. Interview on 12/12/24 at 10:50 A.M., with LPN #1 stated she had only seen 81 mg on the aspirin bottle and did not read that the order was for a chewable aspirin. LPN #1 stated she was unable to remember giving vitamin B-12 to Resident #111, but remembered the surveyor looked at the medications and counted the number of pills placed in the resident's medication cup. Interview on 12/12/24 at 1:56 P.M., with the DON stated before medications are administered, she expected the nurse to check the resident's medication administration record (MAR), pull the medication, and check the medication against the MAR to make sure it was the right medication, right time, right route of administration, right dose, and the right resident. The DON stated if LPN #1 gave Resident #111 enteric coated aspirin and did not give the correct vitamin B-12 dosage, those were medication errors because the medications given did not match the physician's order. Interview on 12/12/24 at 2:05 P.M., with the Administrator stated before medications were administered, she expected the nurse to check the dose and to make sure it was the correct medication and the right time for the medication. 2. Review of an admission medical record for Resident #62 revealed an admission on [DATE]. Diagnoses for Resident #62 included: moderate protein-calorie malnutrition and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing foods or liquids) in the oral phase and epilepsy. Observation on 12/11/24 at 8:40 A.M., during medication administration, Registered Nurse (RN) #3 prepared levetiracetam (an anti-seizure medication) 100 milligrams/milliliter (mg/ml) oral solution for Resident #62. RN #3 poured 10 ml of levetiracetam solution into a medication cup and administered the medication to the resident by way of the resident's gastrostomy tube (G-tube).

F 0759 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few revealed an order dated 12/04/24, for levetiracetam 500 mg/5 ml oral solution, give 5 ml per G-tube twice a day. Interview on 12/11/24 at 12:33 P.M., with RN #3 stated she could have sworn the order for the levetiracetam was for 10 ml. RN #3 reviewed Resident #62's medication administration record (MAR) and stated the order for the resident's levetiracetam was to give 5 ml. RN #3 stated she made an error and looked at the wrong entry on the MAR. RN #3 stated if a resident received too much levetiracetam, it could cause levetiracetam toxicity, and she would notify the physician about the medication error. Interview on 12/12/24 at 2:16 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she expected the nurse to administer the right dose of medication to the right resident. The DON stated the danger of getting too much levetiracetam could be an elevated level of the medication. Review of the policy titled, Administering Medications, revised August 2024, indicated, Medications are administered in accordance with prescriber orders, including any required time frame. The policy specified, The individual administering the medication checks the label THREE (3) times to verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration before giving the medication.
