or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record, review of select facility policies, and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to provide the highest practical care related to bowel management for one of four residents
reviewed (Resident 1)
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
The current facility policy entitled Standing Orders for Skilled Nursing Facility, revealed the following orders
are initiated from standing orders. The bowel and gastrointestinal (organs that help with digestion) protocol
includes nursing staff will administer residents Milk of Magnesia (MOM) 30 milliliters (mL) by mouth on the
day shift of day three without a bowel movement. Nursing staff are to administer a Dulcolax Suppository 10
milligram (mg) on the evening shift of day three if the Milk of Magnesia is ineffective. Nursing staff are to
administer a Fleet's enema as needed on day four without a bowel movement if no results from the
suppository. Nursing staff can administer 15 to 30 mL every two hours for as needed gastrointestinal
distress.
Clinical record review for Resident 1 revealed the facility initiated a plan of care to address Resident 1's
constipation on July 9, 2024. Interventions included that the resident would follow the bowel protocol if
constipation occurs.
Clinical record review for Resident 1 revealed the following physician orders to promote bowel movements:
Milk of Magnesia 400 mg per 5 ml (milliliters) (MOM, laxative that pulls water into bowel to soften bowel
contents) Give 30 ml by mouth as needed (PRN) and administer if no bowel movement by the third day
(day shift).
Dulcolax suppository (Bisacodyl, a laxative medication used to relieve constipation) insert one suppository
rectally as needed for constipation for no bowel movement after administration of MOM (evening shift).
Fleet's Enema 7-19 gm (grams) per 118 ml (Sodium Phosphates, liquid medication inserted into the rectum
to treat constipation). Insert 1 applicatorful rectally for no bowel movement by the fourth day (day shift) if no
results from administration of suppository or MOM.
Review of bowel elimination records for Resident 1 revealed that staff documented no bowel movements for
January 28, 29, 30 and, 31, 2025. There was no documentation of Resident 1's bowels from February 1 to
4, 2025. Further review of Resident 1's bowel elimination record revealed that staff documented no bowel
movements for February 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, 2025.

Residents Affected - Some
Interview with Employee 2, assistant director of nursing, on March 4, 2025, at 1:25 PM revealed there was
no documentation of Resident 1's bowel movements from February 1 to 5, 2025, because the facility had to
use paper documentation during this time due to changes in facility ownership and the bowel movements
were not being documented on the nurse aide data collection tool.
There was no indication that staff offered (as per the physician orders and bowel management protocol), or
Resident 1 refused, any PRN medications.
Further review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed nursing documentation dated February 12, 2025, at
11:14 AM noting that transportation was in the facility to take Resident 1 to a gastrointestinal appointment
she made on her own. Resident 1's guardian stated she is not to go to this appointment. Documentation
revealed transportation staff stated Resident 1 has to go she has not had a bowel movement in over three
weeks. Documentation noted Resident 1 stated, I have not been able to go.
Nursing documentation dated February 12, 2025, at 11:59 AM revealed that Resident 1 called 911 due to
not being able to go to her appointment due to her guardian's decision. The facility called the guardian and
agreed to send her to the hospital.
Review of hospital documentation from February 12 to 13, 2025, revealed Resident 1 presented to the
emergency department for evaluation of constipation with abdominal pain. Fecal disimpaction was
performed in the hospital. Resident 1 was educated on use of Miralax for continued constipation.
Nursing documentation dated February 19, 2025, at 10:03 AM noted Resident 1 voiced concerns of a hot
broom handle feeling, in her rectum this morning after having a bowel movement. Resident 1 also stated
there was blood in the toilet. Nursing documentation on February 19, 2025, at 5:38 PM noted Resident 1
was demanding to go to the hospital, called 911, emergency medical services arrived, and transported
Resident 1 to the hospital.
Nursing documentation dated February 20, 2025, at 12:49 AM noted Resident 1 was transferred from the
emergency room to a medical center for a gastrointestinal consult.
Review of the gastrointestinal documentation dated February 20, 2025, revealed a CTE (computed
tomography enterography, a noninvasive imaging test that examines the small intestine) was recommended
and performed showing small bowel thickening. The documentation revealed that rectal bleeding could be
multifactorial but mostly could be from possible solitary rectal ulcer history of constipation requiring
disimpaction and the current CTE showing significant stool in the rectum.
Resident 1 returned to the facility on February 26, 2025. The facility failed to provide the highest practical
care related to bowel management.
These findings were reviewed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of
Nursing on March 4, 2025, at 2:25 PM.

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, review of select facility policies and procedures, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to implement interventions to promote acceptable parameters of nutrition
for one of nine residents reviewed (Resident 1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility policy entitled Resident Height and Weight, last reviewed without changes on January 7, 2025,
revealed nursing department staff and the facility dietician will cooperate to prevent, monitor, and provide
interventions for undesirable weight variances for residents.
A significant weight change is defined as a 5 percent weight change over 30 days, 7.5 percent weight
change over 90 days, or a 10 percent weight change over 180 days. Upon admission, and two days
following, the nursing department staff will weigh the resident, weekly thereafter for four weeks, and then
monthly unless otherwise ordered by the physician, or recommended by the dietitian. Any weight change of
five pounds or greater within 30 days will be retaken within 72 hours for verification, and the reweight will be
documented in the electronic medical record. If the re-weight verifies a significant, unplanned weight
change, this is communicated to the resident's physician, responsible party ,and dietician. This weight
change will be assessed and reviewed by the dietician in cooperation with the interdisciplinary team and
appropriate interventions will be implemented, reviewed, and revised as needed.
Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 1 on June 21, 2024. Further review of
Resident 1's clinical record revealed the following weight assessments:
December 13, 2024, 177 pounds
January 7, 2025, 174 pounds
February 6, 2025, 160 pounds (a 14-pound, 8.04 percent severe weight loss in 30 days)
March 1, 2025, 154.5 pounds (a 22.5 pound, 12.71 percent severe weight loss in less than 90 days)
Review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed a weight change note dated February 7, 2025, noting
Resident 1's current weight was decreased 14 pounds from her prior weight. The registered dietician
requested a reweight. The registered dietician had no recommendations at this time.
There was no evidence that staff obtained a re-weight or notified Resident 1's physician.
Further review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed no assessment of Resident 1's severe weight loss, or
any interventions addressing the severe weight loss.
Interview with Employee 1 (registered dietitian) on March 4, 2025, at 11:47 AM confirmed these findings.
Employee 1 revealed that she was aware of Resident 1's weight loss. She stated that she had been waiting
for weight verifications and confirmed that she did not assess and implement interventions to address
Resident 1's severe weight loss.
