Review of the physician's orders revealed an order dated 10/08/24 for weekly weight to be completed every dayshift on Monday. An order dated 09/10/24 for enteral feed every shift, Nutrien 2.0 infuse at 35 milliliters (ml) per hour for 23 hours with water flush of 30 ml each hour with a per dual flow feeding pump. Review of the care plan dated 07/05/24 revealed the resident was at nutrition and hydration risk with a goal for the resident to avoid having significant, rapid, undesired weight changes, will meet nutrition needs through enteral feeding via g-tube, and the resident will remain free of side effects or complications from enteral feeding.

The goal was to meet nutritional needs through tube feed as evidenced by no significant weight loss through the next review. Continue to monitor weight and laboratories. Continue to follow on NAR. This was the first documentation which indicated weight loss This was the first documentation in progress notes which indicated a weight loss was identified and failed to acknowledge a seven-pound weight loss for the month of July 2024. Further review of the medical record revealed no documentation of how much tube feeding Resident #02 was receiving. Observation of Resident #02 on 11/13/24 at 1:15 P.M. with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) #476 revealed the resident was placed in her wheelchair and the weight was 187.2 lbs. The resident was placed back into bed, CNA #476 took the weight of the chair which was 93.8. The resident's weight was 93.4 lbs. The blue tag on the wheelchair was 86.6 lbs. CNA #476 verified they use the blue tag on the wheelchair to calculate her weight. CAN #476 stated the staff also used the hoyer weight, but no-one seems to know where it went. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #498 on 11/13/24 at 2:00 P.M. revealed Resident #02 had a new feeding tube pump which staff are unable to hear. There are times when the resident is checked on, and the machine will have turned off for an unknown time. There was a period when there was trouble with keeping the peg tube running properly and the resident was sent to the hospital for replacements which was in June. There is no place to document the residual and or the input or output of the tube feed. An interview with LPN #464 (night shift nurse) on 11/14/24 at 5:45 A.M. revealed the tube feed for Resident #02 is changed every morning at 4:30 A.M. The amount which was left over to be discarded was about 3 inches which she indicated by her fingers and did not know the exact amount. There is no place to document the residuals, amount taken in daily, or discarded tube feed. The pump reads about 750 ml was received in the last 23 hours and most days the pump reads approximately 700 ml for most of the days and up to 750 ml per day. When asked if the nurse notified anyone of the residents not receiving the correct amount, the nurse stated, I really do not know what amount the resident does get because I did not do the math. The nurse admitted there had been weight loss for Resident #02 and there was a period where there were many problems with the feeding tube and the resident had to be sent to the hospital for repair in June. The resident's new pump will stop due to the little blue card kept coming out which would stop the pump and staff were not able to hear the pump alarm. The resident needed to be checked more often to see if the pump was still providing nutrition to the resident. The nurse verified the dietitian is the one who usually changes the orders for all tube feed residents and the nurse did not notify of the amounts of tube feed which was left over daily. There was no place to document the amount of tube feed left over or what amount was infused to the resident. Observation on 11/14/24 at 6:15 A.M. revealed CNA #470 and CNA #493 placed Resident #02 in bed and transferred her to the hoyer lift sling and lifted her up to get a weight. The weight was verified by LPN #498 was 39.1 kilograms which converts to 86.2 lbs. CNA #470 and CNA #493 verified they use the hoyer lift and or wheelchair to weigh the resident.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a glucometer device was disinfected between resident use. This had the potential to affect three (Residents #03, #12, and #15) identified by the facility as having blood glucose monitoring. The facility census was 57. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Observation on 11/13/24 at 7:25 A.M. revealed Registered Nurse (RN) #457 obtained a blood glucose reading on Resident #15 using a shared glucometer and used an alcohol prep pad to cleanse the device. Immediately following the cleansing, RN #457 verified the use of the alcohol prep to cleanse the device and stated, I suppose that is the wrong disinfection solution. RN #457 then looked through the medication cart and found no disinfection cloths. Interview on 11/13/24 at 7:27 A.M. with Director of Nursing revealed the solution to disinfect the glucometer should have been a Sani-Wipe disinfecting cloth, not alcohol. Review of the policy titled, Obtaining a Fingerstick Glucose Level, revised 10/11, revealed to ensure the glucose meter is cleaned and disinfected between resident use.
