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
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide proper treatment and services to
prevent complications of enteral feeding for one of two residents (Residents #1) reviewed for feeding tubes.
The facility failed to ensure staff followed physician's orders for 45 ml of water to be flushed every hour for
Resident #1, while the tube feeding was running. These failures could place residents at risk of tube
obstruction and a decrease in hydration. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet,
dated 01/12/26, reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an admission date of 04/14/23 and a re-admission
date of 01/10/26. Diagnoses included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), aphasia (impaired speaking,
understanding, reading, and writing), and cerebral infarction (stroke). Record review of Resident #1's
quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/24/25, reflected Resident #1 was too cognitively impaired to complete
a brief interview of mental status. She received 51% or more of her total calories through a peg tube (a tube
inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach). Record review of Resident
#1's care plan with a revision date of 07/18/24 reflected, .The resident has a feeding tube r/t Dysphagia, Hx
of aspiration (when something other than air gets into your airway), Swallowing problem. {Resident #1} is
NPO .The resident is dependent with tube feeding and water flushes. Record review of Resident #1's
Physician active orders report dated 01/12/26 reflected, .TWO Cal 2.0 continuous 80ml/hr x 20hrs +
45ml/hr FWF . date active 05/12/25. Record review of Resident #1's Medication administration record for
January 2026 reflected, .TWO Cal 2.0 continuous 80ml/hr x 20hrs + 45ml/hr FWF . date active 05/12/25.
During an observation on 01/12/26 at 12:58 p.m. of the tube feeding pump for Resident #1, revealed the
parameters on the screen showed 80 ml per hour for the formula and the water was set to 45 ml every 2
hours. The tube feeding was connected to Resident #1 and running. Resident #1 was not interviewable.
During an interview with LVN A on 01/12/26 at 01:37 p.m. she stated the tube feeding was to be held from 8
a.m. until 12 p.m. She stated the order was for the formula to run 80 ml/hr and to be flushed with 45 ml of
water every hour. LVN A and the surveyor proceeded to the tube feeding pump, where the parameters were
read (flush 45 ml per every two hours). She stated, Oh, I will fix it right now. She stated the night nurses
hung the feeding and the day nurses re-started the feeding. She stated the parameters not matching the
orders could cause dehydration. During an interview with the DON on 01/12/26 at 01:55 p.m., the DON
stated the expectations for tube feedings included to make sure it was labeled and dated, it was changed
out every 24 hours and ensure the correct feeding rate and flushes matched the physician's orders. She
stated it was the nurse's responsibility, and they should check the parameters on the pump to ensure they
matched the order. She stated no recent related in-services, but they did them annually. She stated the
result of parameters not matching the orders could be too many or too few calories for the resident or
overhydration or dehydration of the resident. Requested recent training for the specific area from the DON
