This survey cited 5 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 that residents receiving enteral feeding received appropriate care and services to prevent complication of enteral feeding for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #34) reviewed for enteral feeding. The facility failed to ensure LVN A verified placement and checked residual (something left behind) of Resident #34's G-tube (a tube into the stomach that delivers formula for nutrition and medication) by checking for tube placement and residual before enteral administration of water and medications. These failures could place residents receiving medications at increased risk of serious complications. Findings included: Review of Resident #34's face sheet dated 07/12/24, revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] and initially admitted on [DATE] with diagnose that included dysphagia (difficulty or discomfort swallowing). Aphasia (a language disorder that affects how you communicate), cerebral infarction(stroke), Alzheimer's (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), hemiplegia (one sided muscle paralysis or weakness), pain, unspecified and gastrostomy status (a tube into the stomach that delivers formula for nutrition. Record review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS assessement dated 06/28/24, revealed a BIMS score at 03 indicating severely impaired cognition. Resident #34's nutritional approach was feeding tube. Record review of Resident #34's care plan revised dated 03/19/24 revealed she had a feeding tube. Interventions included to administer fluids per G-tube as ordered. Record review of Resident #34's physician order dated 07/01/24 revealed NPO diet and order dated 10/17/22 Enteral Feed Order every shift flush tube with 30ml of water before and after medications. During an observation during medication administration on 07/11/24 at 8:45 AM of Resident #34, LVN A did not check placement or residual prior to administration of water flushes and medication through the G-tube. During an observation during medication administration on 07/11/24 at 08:45 AM, LVN A did not check (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm placement of Resident #34's G-tube prior to administration of water flushes and medications through the G-tube. LVN A flushed the tube with water, he drew up the medications individually with the syringe, administered the medications using the plunger in the syringe, drew up the water between medications using the syringe, flushed the water using the plunger in the syringe, then did the final flush of the tube with water. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 07/11/24 at 08:45AM, LVN A stated he forgot to check placement and residual prior to administering water flushes and medications through the G-tube. He stated placement needs to be checked to make sure the G-tube is in the correct spot. The negative outcome was that the medication could lead to somewhere else in the body. During an interview on 7/11/24 at 3:17PM with the DON, stated that the G-tube medication administration starts by doing hand hygiene, crushing medications, getting water ready, and check residual. She stated residual needs to be checked by aspirating and make sure patent (suction and make sure it is open/unobstructed) . The DON stated the negative outcome was that the G-tube could be clogged, and resident will not get the medication. Record review of the Administering Medications through an Enteral Tube policy and procedure revised November 2018 indicated Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the safe administration of medications through an enteral tube. Steps in the Procedure: 6. Verify placement of feeding tube: a. If you suspect improper tube positioning, do not administer feeding or medication. Notify the Charge Nurse or Physician.

Record Review of Resident #34's significant change Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] indicated she received oxygen therapy while a resident. Record review of Resident #34's July 2024 physician's orders indicated OXYGEN at 2 Liters per minute via nasal cannula as needed every shift Observation of Resident #34 on 07/11/24 at 8:10am revealed LVN A was administering Resident #34 her medications through her feeding tube. Throughout the care, LVN A did not notice Resident #34 was not receiving oxygen. Resident #34's oxygen tubing was not positioned correctly as the nasal prongs were positioned on Resident #34's left cheek rather than her nostrils . The oxygen tubing was not connected to the Oxygen concentrator however the concentrator was on and set at 2 liters per minute. LVN A checked Resident #34's oxygen saturation and received a reading of 89%. After LVN A correctly placed the oxygen tubing in Resident #34's nares and connected the tubing to the oxygen concentrator, Resident #34's oxygen saturation increased to 97% . Interview on 7/11/2024 at 8:11am with Resident #34 revealed that she was not interviewable. Interview with LVN A on 7/11/24 at 8:45am revealed he was Resident #34's nurse and was not aware Resident #34 was not receiving oxygen until told by the surveyor. LVN A stated he checked Resident #34's oxygen every chance he got. LVN A stated Resident #34 was to receive continuous oxygen at 2 liters per minute. LVN A stated the negative outcome of not receiving oxygen would be oxygen saturations would drop. LVN A stated he could not recall when he was last In-serviced on respiratory care.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few said a reading of 89% oxygen saturation level was considered low. LVN A said a reading of 97% oxygen saturation is within normal limits. During an Interview with the DON on 07/11/24 at 3:13 PM revealed she said LVN A was in charge to check oxygen administration at least every shift and whenever the nurse was providing care. The DON stated hypoxia (low oxygen level in the blood) and respiratory distress could occur if oxygen administration was not provided as ordered. Record review of the facility's oxygen administration policy dated October 2010, reflected Oxygen therapy is administered by way of an oxygen nasal cannula, and/or nasal catheter. The nasal cannula is a tube that is placed approximately one-half inch into the resident's nose. It is held in place by an elastic band placed around the resident's head . Check the tubing connected to the oxygen cylinder to assure that is free of kinks.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the medication error rate was not five percent or greater. The facility had a medication error rate of 8% based on 2 errors out of 25 opportunities, which involved 1 of 4 residents (Resident #34) reviewed for medication errors. Residents Affected - Few Resident #34's Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet was prescribed for pain and Memantine tablet was prescribed for Alzheimers were administered by Gastrostomy tube (G-Tube), and the medication cups used contained residual medication after the medications were administered. These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the desired therapeutic effect of their medications to manage their medical conditions and decline in health. Findings included: Review of Resident #34's face sheet dated 07/12/24, revealed the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] and initially admitted on [DATE] with diagnose that included dysphagia (difficulty or discomfort swallowing). Aphasia (a language disorder that affects how you communicate), cerebral infarction(stroke), Alzheimer's (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, dementia (impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities), hemiplegia (one sided muscle paralysis or weakness), pain, unspecified and gastrostomy status (a tube into the stomach that delivers formula for nutrition and medication administration. Record review of Resident #34's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score at 03 indicating severely impaired cognition. Resident #34's pain frequency was unable to answer due to low BIMS score. Record review of Resident #34's care plan revised dated 03/19/24 revealed she had potential for pain. Interventions included to administer acetaminophen-codeine tablet for pain. Care plan also revealed diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Interventions included to administer all medication as prescribed by the physician. Record review of Resident #34's physician order dated 06/25/24 revealed Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet 300-30 MG (Acetaminophen w/ Codeine) Give 1 tablet via G-Tube every 6 hours as needed for pain and order dated 11/04/22 for Namenda Tablet 10 MG (Memantine HCl) Give 1 tablet via G-Tube two times a day related to Alzheimer's disease. During an observation and interview during medication administration on 07/11/24 at 8:45 AM of Resident #34, LVN A poured the crushed Memantine 10mg tablet mixed with 10cc water into the syringe. He then followed that with 30cc of water. Observation of the medication cup that held the crushed Memantine, revealed a thick, residual in the bottom of the medication cup. LVN A poured the crushed Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-30mg tablet mixed with 10cc water into the syringe. He then followed with the remaining 20cc of water. Observation of the medication cup that held the crushed Acetaminophen-Codeine, revealed a thick, residual in the bottom of the medication cup due to not mixing it well.

F 0759 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few that giving the residents everything that is in the medication cup was important because the resident does not get their full dose. The negative outcome was that the resident might have side effects from not getting their full dose. During an interview on 7/11/24 at 3:17 PM with the DON, stated that her expectation of the nurses administering G-tube medications, was for there to not be any residual left in the medication cup. If there was medication residual, then nurse should put a little bit more water and give the amount that remained in medicine cup. DON stated the negative outcome of not doing this was the resident does not get the correct dose of medication that was ordered. Record review of the Administering Medications through an Enteral Tube policy and procedure revised November 2018 indicated Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the safe administration of medications through an enteral tube. Steps in the Procedure: 9. Dilute medication: a. Add medication and appropriate amount of water to dilute. b.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 2 of 2 unit refrigerators (unit 1 and unit 2) reviewed for sanitation. The facility failed to ensure unit refrigerators were free of unlabeled and undated items. This failure could place residents at risk for foodborne illess due to cross contamination from unlabeled and undated items in the unit refrigerators. Findings included: Observation of 2 of 2 unit refrigerators (unit 1 and unit 2) on 07/11/24 at 4:10 pm revealed 1 near empty 24-ounce bottle of salad dressing, wrapped in a paper towel, was unlabeled and undated in unit 1. There were 3, 16.9-ounce bottles of water, 1 hamburger bun, 1 hamburger patty, and 1, 6.75-ounce near empty container of orange juice, all undated and unlabeled in unit 2. Interviews with LVN D and LVN E on 07/11/24 at 4:12 pm both stated the refrigerators were kept locked for patient safety because the residents were in the locked unit. They both stated only the nurse for the units held the key to the unit refrigerators. They both stated everything in the unit refrigerators was supposed to be labeled and dated. They both stated they did not know how the unlabeled and undated items got into the refrigerators or who they belonged to. They both stated it was important to have items in the unit refrigerators labeled and dated because they did not know if the items belonged to the residents or to the staff and because cross contamination could occur and make the resident's sick. They both stated the refrigerators (unit 1 and unit 2) were supposed to be only for residents, but the unlabeled and undated items did not look like resident belongings. Neither would say who or how someone else would have obtained they keys to the unit refrigerators if only the nurse had possession of the keys. An interview with the DON on 07/11/24 at 4:15 pm stated the two LVN's should know better than to allow unlabeled and undated items in the unit refrigerators because they were trained and were told by her repeatedly about labeling and dating items in the refrigerators. A facility policy regarding food storage in unit refrigerators was requested. Record review of a blue sign affixed to the front of the unit 2 refrigerator stated Personal Fridge Safety Tips and continued with, Fridge must have thermometer. Fridge must be kept at a safe temp.
