Based on medical record review, observation, staff interview, and policy review, this facility failed to provide proper percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube care including checking placement of the PEG tubing prior to administering medication as well as flushing the tubing with water prior to the administration of medication. This affected one (Resident #2) of the one resident reviewed for PEG tube care. The facility identified Resident #2 was the only resident with a PEG tube. The facility census was 15.
Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed an admission date of 10/31/23. Diagnosis included protein-calorie malnutrition, gastrostomy status, and cognitive communication deficit.

Resident #2 was noted to require a PEG feeding tube for nutritional support. Review of the physician order dated 11/20/23 revealed an order to check placement of the PEG tube and residual, document residual and notify the medical director if residual was greater than 500 milliliters (ml). Also noted was an order dated 01/17/24 to flush the PEG tube with 60 ml's of free water before and after administering medication. Observation on 06/11/25 at 9:54 A.M. of Registered Nurse (RN) #155 administering medication for Resident #2 revealed PEG tube placement and residual was not checked prior to administration of medication nor was the PEG tube flushed with 60 ml's of water. Interview on 06/11/25 at 10:30 A.M. with RN #155 confirmed the placement and residual checks for Resident #2's PEG tube were not completed nor was the PEG tube flushed with 60 ml's per physician orders.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, observations, staff interview, and facility policy review, this facility failed to ensure Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) were in place and/or implemented timely for Resident #2, #7, and #114 who required EBP. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure proper infection control was maintained with the administration of Resident #2's eye drops. This affected three residents (#2, #7, and #114) of the six residents reviewed for infection control. The facility census was 15.
