Follow-up interview on [DATE] at 2:18p.m., the Administrator said he is in challenging times. He said he has
had challenges with staffing. He said some of the staff do not care. He said, trying to get staff to adhere to
his rules is overwhelming. He said regarding CR #229, he was going off the information that was given to
him by some of the staff. He said he was told CR #229 was able to gesture what happened and he
assumed he fell in the restroom. He said he was not sure as to why the initial fall assessment wasn't done.
He said he does not know when they received the information that CR #229 was deceased . He said he
never documented the updates on residents that they follow up on. He said they have not documented what
is discussed in the morning meetings, especially when it has been documented that they discharged a
resident. He said CR #229 died at the hospital. He said they do not go back in to document that kind
information. He said he has never done that at any facility he has worked at. He said if a resident dies
outside of the facility, staff will be notified by word of mouth. He said they will have to call to receive that
kind of information. He said the facility does not receive a death certificate on a resident. He said the family
will call and give information about the resident. He said the only way someone at the facility would know
about a deceased resident is by asking. He said he acknowledges that there was conflicting information.
Interview on [DATE] at 2:40 p.m. with the DON said she did not talk to CR #229 about his fall. She said CR
#229 was gone from the facility when she arrived at work. She said she was notified by staff that he had
fallen, and staff noticed he was injured, and was sent to Hospital A. She said staff didn't know how or where
he hit his head. She said they wanted to get CR #229 assessed. She said she did not report the incident
because he was discharged to the Hospital A, and no one witnessed the incident.
Interview on [DATE] at 12:50 p.m. with RN A, said she worked with CR #229 for the short time he was at
the facility. She said she provided day to day care for him. She said CR #229 had to be redirected a lot
because he wanted to be self-sufficient. She said on her shift, he did well with staying in his wheelchair.
She said the night the CR #229 had the fall; she came into work and LVN A reported it to her. She said she
is not sure if it was LVN A who gave her the report. She said staff told her that CR #229 got up in the middle
of the night and was found on the floor in front of the sink. She said she was told he was bleeding from his
head, and they sent him out for evaluation. She said she cannot remember if there was anything put in
place prior to the second fall. She said CR #229 had a low bed. She said if he asked for assistance to the
bathroom, they would help him, but he would not ask for assistance. She said he thought he could do
everything on his own, but he couldn't anymore. She said she checked on him a lot. She said he was able
to get up and go to the restroom by himself, but he had an unsteady gait. She said CR #229 did not need
two persons assist. She said he only needed one person assists to go to the bathroom. She said when she
would assist him to the restroom, she would take his wheelchair and put in the bathroom doorway. She said
she helped him pivot and put him on the stool. She said if something was put in place for CR #229, he
could carry out that plan. She said sometimes his cognition would be better than it would at other times.
She said he was able to communicate his needs to her. She said she would ask CR #229 if he was in pain
and needed assistance to the bathroom and he would answer her appropriately. She said she was
surprised he had a BIMs score of 06.
Interview on [DATE] at 1:27 p.m. with MDS Coordinator A, said she has been the MDS nurse at the facility
for 21 years. She said she is responsible for doing the MDS assessments, LTC's, MI's, and she also does
PASSAR's for the residents. She said the DON and the ADON are responsible for the care plans and care
plan meetings. She said whatever triggers are from the MDS, they are added to the care plan. She said on
the MDS assessment if it says limited assistance for toilet use, it means that resident needs assistance to
go to the bathroom. She said extensive assistance means he needs

someone to help him all the time. She said she knows that CR #229 used his walker, and he would say
different words or wrote them down. She said he could articulate his words. She said limited toilet use
means moderate assist which means someone might need to watch him but not assist or they can help
clean him. She said it is a difference when it comes to extensive assistance and limited assistance. She
said if there is a care plan that says limited assistance and a MDS that says extensive assistance in a
certain care area, it is a problem because it can affect the proper guidance or care that is needed for the
resident. She said she cannot answer why the MDS assessment does not match the care plan. She said
CR #229 was not on a toileting program. She said CR #229 was able to move around, and he was able to
go leave his bed and go to the bathroom. She said when she did the MDS assessment for CR #229, he
seemed to need extensive assistance. She said on [DATE], she said did not do the intervention process on
the care plan because she does not create the care plans. She said the nurses and the ADON are
responsible for completing the fall risk assessments.
Interview on [DATE] at 1:51 p.m. with the ADON, said is the Interim Assistant DON, till they find someone
permanently. She said she checks the resident's admission assessments, and she does what is needed at
the facility. She said she also review the resident's orders. She said she has also written care plans. She
said she looks at the resident's diagnosis and their assessments, and their history. She said she does not
receive information from the MDS on how to write the care plan. She said she has spoken to CR #229
when she needed to get consent on a vaccine. She said she called his family member for that information
as well. She said MDS assessments are done quarterly or if there was a significant change. She said the
MDS, and the care plan should correlate. She said she is responsible for the baseline care plan. She said
the baseline care plan is done upon admission, which is what she had assessed on the resident. She said
the comprehensive care plan is more detailed and is pulls more data on the resident. She said the
importance of the care plan is so staff can establish a plan of care for the resident. She said the importance
of an MDS assessment is to show what service is needed for the resident. She said CR #229 was able to
move around on his own. She said he went to the restroom on his own. She said when she went to ask him
about a vaccine, he was coming out of the restroom with his wheelchair. She said on [DATE], she was told
he had a fall and was bleeding from his head and was sent to the hospital. She said she was aware that CR
#229 had fall on [DATE] as well. She said he was able to understand what was being care planned. She
said CR #229 could use the call light and moving the bed up and down.
Interview on [DATE] at 2:15 p.m., with the DON, said she is responsible for everything. She said she
oversees the nursing department. She said she is responsible for the comprehensive care plan. She said
she has been the DON since [DATE] and was the interim during February of 2022. She said the care plan
comes from the trigger assessment that was on the MDS. She said the MDS assessment can trigger
certain problems a resident has, and their diagnosis and she would create the care plan. She said CR #229
was alert and oriented. She said he could speak, but it was not that clear. She said he was also able to
write. She said he could walk but it was a scary walk. She said he was able to tell you when he needed to
go to the bathroom. She said a BIM's score of 06 means it is a low score and that the person is not
cognitively inclined. She said staff would tell CR #229 to call for assistance and to use the call light when he
needed to use the restroom, but he would go on his own. She said extensive assistance means the staff is
doing the work 75 percent of the time. She said limited assistance means the resident is doing 75 percent
of the work. She said it would not be an issue if the MDS and the care plan had something different. She
said if she goes into a resident's room and they can make their needs known, she will document what they
can relate to, and that would be it was resident centered. She said CR #229 was not always verbal, but he
can write things down.

She said what she was told by LVN D, was that CR #229 was on the ground, and he had a head injury. She
said she told her to see if CR #229 could write it down. She said she was not sure if CR #229 ever wrote
anything down. She said CR #229 could walk and staff would sometimes help him. She said the MDS
extensive assistance, and two-person assist doesn't really mean that is what he needs. When the DON was
asked to explain what she meant by her last statement, she said she did not know how to explain what she
meant.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on [DATE] at 2:35 p.m., with the Administrator, said he has been the administrator at the facility for
31 years. He said he is a hands-on administrator, and he goes to resident council meetings when asked. He
said the residents and the resident's family members has his personal phone number. He said his first
interaction with CR #229 was when he first came to him and introduced himself. He said the second time
was after his first fall. He said the first fall that occurred on [DATE] was not investigated and it was not
reported to the state. He said it was a fall without injury, so he did not feel there was a reason to report it.
He said he does not know why there wasn't an intervention completed. He said he has told staff to be more
cautious about the residents having falls. He said there was a morning meeting about CR #229's fall. He
said if there was a fall in the facility, they would have a follow up in a morning meeting. He said if a resident
has a fall and there is no updated assessment, or a prevention put in place, a resident can have another fall
with an injury. He said it is not a problem to have a care plan that is different from the MDS. He said when
he first met CR #229, he was not total assist. He said CR #229 showed no difference in how he moved after
he fell on [DATE]. He said he was the same on [DATE]. He said he was able to do things on his own. He
said does not help with the MDS assessments. He said if a resident has a fall, an assessment should be
updated. He said the care plan should be updated as well. He said the care plan should reflect the needs of
the resident, so staff would know how to care for the resident. He said he did not receive CR #229's death
certificate. He said medical records could ask for it, but they do not automatically receive that information.
He said when CR #229 had his second fall on [DATE], he was told he had a fall and had a gash. He said
they called the doctor, and CR #229 was sent out to the hospital. He said he does not know how long after
CR #229 left the facility, that he expired.
Telephone Interview on [DATE] at 10:07 a.m., with LVN D, said when CNA G was doing rounds, she let her
know she observed CR #229 on the floor. She said when she went into the room, his bed was in a low
position. She said he was near the bathroom. She said it looked like he hit his head. She said he was on his
back, and it looked like he was trying to get up. She said CNA G got another nurse to help. She said she
cannot remember the nurse's name who came to help her with CR #229. She said she called 911. She said
she tried to ask CR #229 what happened and what he was doing, and she said he was pointing towards the
bathroom and couldn't really speak. She said he used a communication board to communicate daily. She
said she did not have much communication with him during the night. She said CR #229 had a roommate
as well. She said he could walk on his own, unsteadily. She said she CR #229 did not always try to get up
through the night to use the restroom. She said he always made gestures and never really spoke to her.
She said she does not remember if she worked with him in the past. She said the night CR #229 had fall on
[DATE], he did not say he was in pain. She said when she assessed him, he had a laceration on his head.
She said CR #229 was not moaning. She said the bathroom is no more than 10 feet away from his bed.
She said she did a risk management report. She said she does not recall if she did a change of condition
report. She said she contacted the on-call service (physician) for the facility. She said she left a voice mail
for whomever was listed under his contacts. She said when CR #229 went to the hospital, she called the
DON. She said she did not think the fall was suspicious. She said the facility made sure she included a
witness statement inside

Interview on [DATE] at 10:52 a.m., with family member, said she was told by the facility that CR #229
accident happened in the middle of the night. She said they told her he fell, and he had to go to the
hospital. She said they told her he had a gash on his head, and he was conscious. She said she did not
hear from the facility once her brother arrived at Hospital A because they l took over. She said she went by
the facility to pick up CR #229's belongings and she was able to retrieve everything except his necklace and
hearing aid. She said CR #229 passed away on [DATE]. She said at the hospital, they did a full body MRI
on CR #229, and it showed that the gash was more than 5 inches. She said it went straight up from his
head to his eyebrow. She said the MRI also showed a brain bleed. She said CR #229 seemed disoriented
and was acting up and being erratic and trying to get out of his bed. She said CR #229 was transferred on a
Sunday from Hospital A, to a specialized trauma hospital. She said once she arrived at the main hospital,
CR #229 couldn't open his eyes or do anything. She said she flew out again on [DATE] and his lungs
started to fail. She said her mom was in rehab and she took her out of rehab because she is the legal
guardian of CR #229. She said her mom talked to the brain surgeon, but he could not say if CR #229 would
wake up again. She said CR #229 was on a breathing machine and was not breathing on his own. She said
he was intubated. She said CR #229 death certificate said the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the
brain and a hematoma in the brain. She said when she went to the facility on [DATE] to pick up CR #229
things, staff told her the night her brother fell, he was using a walker. She said she was not notified by staff
when he fell on [DATE].
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on [DATE] at 11:44 a.m. with PT A said, CR #229 was evaluated for physical therapy on [DATE]
and for occupational therapy on [DATE] as well as speech therapy. He said he was not evaluated upon
admission on [DATE] because he was a Hospital C resident and they do not come into the facility with
approvals for therapy, which means if he came to the facility on the [DATE] he would be evaluated the
following week. He said he submitted documentation to Hospital C on a Monday. He said CR #229 never
participated in therapy. He said he is not sure why he wasn't evaluated after the first week. He said CR
#229 might not have been feeling well. He said it was reported to the therapy department on [DATE] about
a resident with a recent fall during transfers. He said he evaluates a resident, depending on when they fall,
if they don't normally fall, and he will screen and evaluate a resident and recommend therapy. He said
residents that fall and don't move around a lot will be screened. He said CR #229 was using a rolling
walker. He said he had been evaluated for the safety of the walker.
Followed-up interview on [DATE] at 1:18 p.m., with the DON and the Administrator. The DON said, the root
cause was that CR #229 was impulsive and was not asking for help as suggested. She said she discussed
the IDT fall in the morning meetings. She said she removed some of the things that was in the room and
straightened up the clutter. The Administrator said he did not document the clutter, that he just rearranged
the clutter. The DON said staff assigned to therapy evaluated CR #229 on using a rolling walker and
determined if it was safe to be used or not. She said she knew right away if it was safe or not. She said she
is not sure if anyone took the walker away. The Administrator said he could not force CR #229 to not use
the walker because that would be taking away his rights. He said when they asked him not to get up, CR
#299 would listen.
Followed-up interview on [DATE] at 1:25 p.m., with the Administrator, said CR #229 was able to verbalize
the things he needed. He said when he received CR #229's medical record, he did not think to report it. He
said he thought CR #229 was coming back to the facility. He said he had a conversation with staff from
Hospital C, and he never thought the blame would be put on him regarding CR #229.

Followed-up interview on [DATE] at 2:11 p.m., with the DON said, MDS Coordinator A, social services,
activity services, and the dietary manager assist with completing the MDS assessment. She said section G
of the MDS assessment is completed by the MDS Coordinator A. She said she and MDS Coordinator A,
used to be responsible for the comprehensive care plan. She said she was responsible for the
comprehensive care plan while CR #229 was present at the facility. She said MDS Coordinator A was
responsible for the admission MDS assessment. She said she cannot speak on the discrepancy of the care
plan and the MDS assessment because she did not see it as a big discrepancy. She said she did not check
to see if there was a discrepancy because she did not see what the surveyors were seeing. She said she
did the care plan based on what staff was telling her and not what was documented. She said she did not
realize that certain care areas regarding CR #229 was not documented. She said CR #229 could ambulate
because he could move. She said if he had a significant change, she has 14 days to update the
assessment. She said she did not think the fall could have been prevented. She said he was put bed in the
low position. She said CR #229 wanted to be independent. She said she would not do an SBAR or MDS
assessment, only a fall risk assessment. She said no one told her that CR #229 had a walker the night he
fell, on [DATE]. She said the walker was in his room and she cannot take the walker away. She said a
Hospital C resident does not come into the facility with orders for rehab. She said something must happen
for a Hospital C resident to receive rehab. She said it is difficult for a Hospital C resident to receive rehab.
She said there are some residents who come on admission with rehab orders. She said it does not always
happen. She said the facility will have to push for it, not Hospital C.
Interview on [DATE] at 12:09 p.m., with the Medical Director, said he has been sharing his responsibility
with Physician B. He said at the nursing facility, the meetings are usually once a month. He said he often
attends the meetings virtually. He said he goes to the meetings in person when the issues are more
complex. He will go over the issues with MDS Coordinator A, and the Administrator. He said in the meetings
if there was an unwitnessed fall or a serious injury occurred, it will be discussed well before QAPI comes
up. He said if a major fall happened that caused a brain bleed, it would be something that you would
immediately report to the state. He said regardless of if the resident could communicate or not, it will still
need to be reported to the state.
Interview on [DATE] at 12:38 p.m., with Physician B said she was only at the facility once a week. She said
her last day working at the nursing facility was on [DATE]. She said when she was working at the facility,
she participated in QAPI once a month. She said she attended in person, and they discussed falls, who fell
and followed up on plans after the falls. She said she will look at CR #229's medical history, and what
happened with the fall. She said she would ask questions about medication before making a [NAME] to
report an incident to the state. She said if the resident is deemed by therapy not safe to use different
devices to keep them safe and they still want to use them, she said it is their right and they cannot hold a
resident down or retrain them. She said if a resident takes a walker even after he's been redirected it will
put them in an interesting position. She said some residents have tried to hit her and other staff members.
Record Review of the facility's policy titled Fall and Post-Fall Management, undated, read in part, . Each
resident must be assessed on admission, quarterly and any change in condition for potential risk for falls in
order to take a preventative approach for the resident as well as staff safety. Identify residents at risk for
falls during ADL execution by resident individually or with staff assistance. Initiate preventative approaches.
Provide appropriate strategies and interventions directed to resident, environmental factors, and staff.
Provide learning opportunities. Monitor and evaluate resident outcome .

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
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure one of fifteen residents (Resident #27 )
who were fed by enteral means received the appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications of
enteral feeding, in that:
-The facility did not have the supplies available to replace the Gastrostomy Tube for Resident #27 for at
least 5 days and used an indwelling urinary Foley catheter for at least 5 days, instead of an actual
gastrostomy tube.
-The facility did not have appropriate physician orders for Resident #27's medications to be administered
through the temporary indwelling urinary Foley catheter, while it was being used as a gastrostomy tube.
The failure could place residents with gastrostomy tubes at risk for developing significant complications,
including infections, aspiration, hospitalizations, or death.
Findings included:
Record review on 5/19/23 at 9:08 a.m. of Resident #27's admission Record dated 5/19/23 revealed she was
a [AGE] year old female who admitted to the facility on [DATE] had some of the following diagnoses:
gastrostomy status (an opening into the stomach from the abdominal wall, made surgically for the
introduction of food), dysphagia (difficulty or discomfort in swallowing), agnosia (inability to interpret
sensations and hence to recognize things, typically as a result of brain damage), flaccid hemiplegia
affecting right dominant side (severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body), Type II
diabetes mellitus, (chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar and moderate
protein calorie malnutrition.
Record review on 5/16/23 at 9:22 a.m. of Resident #27's admission MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a
BIMS score of 2 indicating she was severely cognitively impaired and was totally dependent on at least one
staff member for eating. She was coded as having an active diagnosis of malnutrition and gastrostomy
status. She was also coded as receiving 51% or more of her total calories from a tube feeding.
Record review of Resident #27's physician order summary dated May 2023 revealed no orders for enteral
(state of being fed through a tube) feedings to be administered through a temporary/short-term Foley
catheter being used as her gastrostomy site,
Record review of Resident #27's physician order summary dated May 2023 revealed no orders for

infection at this time. There was no documentation that Resident #27's physician had been notified. There
was no SBAR or change of condition report. There was no incident or accident report regarding Resident
#27's gastrostomy tube becoming clogged and or dislodged.
Record review of Resident #27's progress notes on 5/18/23 at 2:44 p.m. that were dated 5/13/23 and
created by LVN C, revealed the following entry: CNA notified this nurse that resident had vomited. Upon
entering resident's room large amount of coffee ground emesis noted on resident gown. TF was stopped
and resident's head was elevated to a 90-degree angle. Resident has two more episodes of emesis while
this nurse was in the room. VS-BP145/86 P 105 T 97.9 R 20. DON made aware. Pager called for NP A and
RP contacted with no answer and voicemail not set up to leave message. EMS A contacted to transport
resident to ER. Repeated attempts to contact LVN C during the investigation on 5/17/23, 5/18/23 and
5/19/23 went unanswered through exit.
Record review of Resident #27's progress notes on 5/18/23 at 3:33 p.m. that were dated 5/14/23 and
created by RN A read in part, .Late entry, Received a phone call from a physician (on 5/13/23) with Hospital
A with question regarding resident's feeding tube, a Foley catheter had been inserted because there was
not a gastrostomy tube, in the correct size, available. Resident was sent to hospital for vomiting, possibly
coffee ground emesis per the report from the nurse who sent her to the ER, writer checked placement by
auscultation and gastric aspiration the day before she went to the hospital and results indicated it was safe
to use .
Record review of Resident #27's hospital records on 5/18/23 at 4:08 p.m. that were dated 5/14/23 read in
part, .discharge diagnoses: coffee ground emesis, PEG tube malfunction, pneumonia, constipation,
protein-calorie malnutrition, moderate .
Interview with LVN A on 5/17/23 at 2:08 p.m., she said that she was the author of the progress note dated
5/8/23. She said that Resident #27's gastrostomy tube became clogged, and she could not get it to function
on her shift. She then said that the gastrostomy tube became dislodged. When asked if she received a
physician order to change the gastrostomy tube, she said that she was uncomfortable changing the tube
after it became dislodged and asked LVN B to assist her in replacing it. She said that LVN B changed the
tube by inserting a 16 french foley catheter because the facility did not have Resident #27's size for the
gastrostomy tube replacement catheter. LVN A said that after LVN B changed the tubing, Resident #27's
gastrostomy site began working and functioning properly again. LVN A said that she was able to restart
Resident #27's enteral feeding, medications and hydration at that time as previously ordered. When asked if
she notified the physician, LVN A said she could not remember. LVN A said it should have been
documented that Resident #27's physician had been notified but she could not recall if she had notified the
physician. LVN A said that she did not remember if she was ever able to reach Resident #27's physician for
any orders. LVN A said that she did not know why she did not complete an SBAR/change of condition or
incident report for Resident #27. She acknowledged that a resident's G-tube becoming dislodged was a
change in condition. She said she could not recall if she had been trained on gastrostomy tube care.
Interview with RN A on 5/17/23 at 2:33 p.m., she said she cared for Resident #27 when she had the
temporary/short-term Foley catheter used as a gastrostomy tube. She said because the site functioned
properly, she used it for medications and feedings. RN A said it was not uncommon to temporarily use an
indwelling urinary catheter tubing in lieu of actual gastrostomy tubing, until the actual gastrostomy tubing
became available. She said she had been told via report from other nursing staff that Resident #27's actual
gastrostomy tubing was on back order and would be arriving any day. When she

reviewed the facility policy, she said she did not know what temporary or short-term timeframes specifically
meant. When asked if she felt like 5 days was too long a period to use temporary tubing, RN A said that it
was working and she did not question it. RN A said she was not sure if she had been trained by the facility
on gastrostomy tubes. RN A said that she did not think that using the Foley catheter as a gastrostomy tube,
for 5 days, was an issue because she thought everyone (DON, MD, RP), knew about it already. She stated
she did not notify Resident #27's physician or NP because she thought it had already been done.
Observation of Resident #27 on 5/18/23 during medication administration on 5/18/23 at 8:41am. The
administration was performed by RN A and Resident #27 tolerated well. Observation of Resident #27's
gastrostomy tube tubing intact that was patent and functioned properly throughout the medication
administration. There was no drainage around the site and no signs or symptoms of infection. There were
no additional surgical sites or bandages observed, indicating, the gastrostomy tubing was replaced in the
hospital, using Resident #27's existing gastrostomy tube site. Resident #27 was non-verbal but waved her
hand and nodded her head in affirmation that she was doing well and had no pain or concerns with the site.
Interview with LVN B on 5/18/23 at 9:41 a.m., she said that she was called to Resident #27's bedside on
5/8/23 by LVN A to help her with Resident #27's gastrostomy tube. LVN B said that when she got to
Resident #27's bedside the gastrostomy tube was out and laying on top of Resident #27's gown. LVN B
said that there was no blood or other drainage and that Resident #27's gastrostomy tube site/opening in
her abdomen appeared very small to her and she was fearful it would close, as she was not familiar with,
and did not regularly work with Resident #27. She said that she replaced the tube using a 16 French Foley
catheter tubing because they did not have a small enough gastrostomy catheter available in the facility
stock/supply. She said that both she and LVN A looked and could not find another option. LVN B said she
thought LVN A had already called and or contacted Resident #27's physician and RP. LVN B said that she
had been trained by facility on gastrostomy tubes including use, changes and troubleshooting issues, but
could not recall when she had the training last. LVN B said she believed it was upon hire. LVN B said she
did not document on Resident #27 because it was not her resident and again, she thought LVN A was
documenting everything including contacting the physician and obtaining orders.
Interview with DON on 5/18/23 at 1:04 p.m., she said that there was no documentation that LVN A, LVN B,
LVN C or RN A had contacted Resident #27's physician. The DON said she contacted Physician A and he
said he was not sure if he had been contacted and would have to check his phone records but could not
confirm or deny that he had been contacted by LVN A about Resident #27's gastrostomy tube becoming
clogged or dislodged. The DON said that there was no SBAR or change of condition for Resident #27 but
there was a progress note. When asked if she thought a dislodged g-tube on a resident was a change in
condition, she said yes. The DON said that it was not uncommon and per facility policy and procedure to
utilize a Foley catheter to temporarily keep a gastrostomy tube site open and patent. The DON said she
could not find any documentation of physician notification or orders from Physician A to continue to use
Resident #27's short-term Foley catheter for medications and feedings. The DON said that the Foley
catheter could be used short term to administer medications and or feedings. The DON said that she did
not believe 5 days was long term use and said that the facility no longer completed orders for supplies and
that Corporate ordered supplies. The DON said she did not know why she had not reviewed LVN A's
documentation to check if the physician had been notified. The DON said she did not know why there was
no documentation of an SBAR, change in resident condition or incident report for Resident #27. The DON
said she had been aware of Resident #27's need for gastrostomy tube tubing. The DON said that Corporate
were the ones who notified the facility that the replacement

gastrostomy tubes for Resident #27 were on back order. The DON said that she did not believe that
Resident #27's hospitalization from 5/13/23 through 5/14/23 had anything to do with the use or misuse of
Resident #27's temporary Foley catheter.
Interview with Administrator on 5/18/23 at 1:34 p.m., he said that Corporate completed the ordering of
supplies such as gastrostomy tubes, for the facilities. He said that he had no dated invoices or order slips to
show as evidence for when Resident #27's gastrostomy tubing was ordered or when Corporate was notified
it was on back order. He said that all residents should have the supplies they need on site and that the
facility did its best to maintain the appropriate supplies for their residents.
Observation on 5/18/23 at 1:44 p.m. revealed a current adequate gastrostomy tube supplies for Resident
#27 and all gastrostomy tube residents for the facility.
Interview with Medical Director on 5/18/23 at 2:02 p.m., he said that historically the facility has and can use
a Foley catheter as temporary tubing for a gastrostomy tube. He said that they do not always send a
resident to the hospital for replacement because they try to avoid unnecessary hospital transfers. He said
that Resident #27 had an established gastrostomy tube for years and it was not a new gastrostomy tube
site, so the Foley catheter use was not a problem. He said that he did not see an issue with the facility
using a temporary Foley catheter tube for 5 days to administer Resident #27's medications and feedings.
He said that he did not believe Resident #27's hospitalization on 5/13/23 was as a direct result of the Foley
catheter tubing, when asked about Resident #27's hospital diagnosis of pneumonia, he said it could have
been early aspiration related to her nausea and vomiting or could have been related to fluid overload. He
said there was no definitive aspirate in the hospital findings and that Resident #27 could have had nausea
and vomiting related to constipation. He said that staff should notify a physician with any changes in
condition for a resident.
Telephone interview with Resident #27's attending Physician A on 5/18/23 at 3:08 p.m., he said that he
could not recall, confirm or deny if LVN A contacted him on 5/8/23 when Resident #27's gastrostomy tube
became dislodged or clogged. He said that best practice was to reinsert the appropriate gastrostomy tube
as soon as possible but did not feel that 5 days was too a long a period of time or would have caused
Resident #27 to go to the hospital on 5/8/23. He said that he could not say what kind of orders he would
have given LVN A on 5/8/23 and that he may or may not have ordered LVN A to send Resident #27 to the
hospital right away. He said that he did not recall if he or his NP saw or evaluated Resident #27 during the 5
days, she had the Foley catheter used as her gastrostomy tube. He said as long as it had functioned
properly, there was probably no issue with the continued use of the Foley catheter for Resident #27's
medications and feedings. He said that he did not know why he had not written any orders for the use of
Resident #27's medications and feeding to continue via the temporary Foley catheter.
Record review of facility policy and procedure Policy: Gastrostomy Tube Replacement (G-Tube) also known
as PEG tube, read in part:1. The g-tube should be replaced as soon as possible (within 4 hours) to keep
the tract patent. 2. If it has been greater than 4 hours, consult your physician for further instructions
regarding replacing and/or hospital transfer. 3. Tubes dislodged greater than 24 hours should not be
replaced at bedside .7. A foley catheter may be used in place of g-tube for SHORT TERM Use if a g-tube is
not available at time replacement is needed. When the proper g-tube arrives, the replacement should occur
at this time.
