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 medical record review, observation and staff interview, the facility failed to follow physician's
orders for tube feed formula infusion time and proper labeling of tube feed formula. This affected one
Res(Resident #18) of one Resident reviewed for tube feedings. The facility census was 57.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #18's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/05/21 with diagnoses including

endoscopic gastrostomy tube.
Further review of the medical record revealed a physician's order on 12/22/21 to label feeding tube formula
with resident name, date and time and nurse's initials. A physician's order on 12/07/22 indicated Resident
#18 was to receive Jevity 1.2 (nutritional supplement formula) at 65 milliliters per hour (ml/h) per feeding
tube for 18 hours from 5:00 P.M. to 9:00 A.M. and disconnect resident from feeding tube at 9:00 A.M. every

bag of tube feed formula. The bag of tube feed formula had no evidence of a label indicating the type of
formula, the date and time opened or a nurses signature.
Additional observation of Resident #18 on 12/20/22 at 12:50 P.M. revealed tube feeding infusing and no
evidence of a label on the tube feed formula indicating type of formula, date and time prepared and nurse
signature.

formula was still infusing and should be disconnected at 9:00 A.M. as per physicians orders. RN #814 also
verified the tube feeding container was not labeled with the type of formula, date and time of preparation
and nurse signature as per physician's order.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation and interview the facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions during observations of
meal preparations . This affected all residents except for Resident #18 and Resident #21 who do not
receive food prepared in the kitchen. The facility census was 57.
Findings include:
Observation on 12/20/22 at 11:55 A.M. of [NAME] #809 preparing to purée Swedish meatballs. She
placed the meatballs into the RoboCoup blender which was setting on the sink counter. The sink was
observed to have water and food particles present. [NAME] #809 used a large spatula to stir the meatballs
and laid it directly on the sink counter. She then continued to purée the meatballs, stop the blender,
sir the meatballs with the same spatula and then laid it directly on the counter. [NAME] #809 then used the
spatula to scoop the meatballs into a tray on the steam table. [NAME] #809 then scooped noodles into a
clean RoboCoup blender. Some of the noodles were observed protruding from the top. She used an
unwashed and ungloved hand to push the noodles into the blender. She then blended the noodles, grabbed
a new spatula, stirred the noodles, and sat the spatula down on counter. She repeated this two more times.
At 12:10 P.M. She began to check the temperature of each food item. She began by putting the
thermometer into the meatballs. After obtaining the temperature she walked the thermometer to the sink
and dipped it into a prefilled bucket of sanitizer solution and then again in another prefilled bucket of water
with a visible rag at the bottom. [NAME] #809 tapped the thermometer on the inside of the sink to remove
the excess water and then checked the temperature of the noodles. She completed this same process after
checking each food item (beets, mixed vegetables, hamburgers, gravy, pureed meatballs, and pureed
beets).
Interview on 12/20/22 at 12:37 P.M. Corporate Dietitian #810 confirmed proper sanitation practices were not
in place during meal preparation.

or potential for actual harm
Based on medical record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure laboratory testing was
obtained prior to initiating antibiotic therapy for a resident with a possible infection. This affected one
(Resident #32) of five residents reviewed for infections. The facility census was 57.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #32's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/23/22 with admission diagnoses
that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
Further review of the medical record including physician's orders revealed on 09/30/22 Resident #32 was
initiated on Cipro (antibiotic) 500 milligrams (mg) twice daily until 10/05/22 for bacteremia (infection).
Review of the Antibiotic Assessment completed on 09/30/22 indicated Resident #32 had pain with
urination, a urinalysis was positive for infection and the resident was initiated on Cipro for a urinary tract
infection (UTI). The antibiotic assessment indicated the resident met criteria for antibiotic use for a UTI.
Review of the resident's laboratory results found no evidence of a urinalysis obtained or located within the
medical record.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 12/21/22 at 9:10 A.M. revealed the resident was receiving hospice
services upon admission and a hospice nurse ordered the antibiotic and advised the facility the urinalysis
was positive for infection. Additional interview at 2:15 P.M. with the DON verified there was no evidence
obtained by the facility there was a urinalysis completed for the resident as indicated in the antibiotic
