**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. A review of
Resident 13's admission Record, (contains demographic and medical information), indicated Resident 13
was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included surgical aftercare following
surgery on the digestive system, malignant neoplasm of pancreas (pancreatic cancer), and dysphagia
(difficulty swallowing).
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation on May 6, 2024, at 10:12 AM, in Resident 13's room, Resident 13 had a 1000
milliliters (mls - unit of measure) bag of enteral nutrition (liquid nutrition administered via a feeding tube
inserted into the stomach) at his bedside, the bag was connected to a feeding pump (pump which
administers enteral nutrition) which was not on and was no longer administering enteral nutrition to
Resident 13. The enteral nutrition bag was labeled with the date May 5, 2024, and time 1900 [7:00 PM]
(date and time the feeding was started), the residents name, and the rate of administration which was 70
mls an hour (70 ml/hr - rate of enteral nutrition administration via feeding pump). The enteral nutrition bag
contained 400 ml of nutrition still in the bag.
During a review of Resident 13's physician's orders, dated April 30, 2024, the order indicated, .[brand name
of enteral nutrition] 2.0 via [by] GT [Gastrostomy tube - a feeding tube inserted directly into the abdomen
and into the stomach to deliver nutrition] at a rate of 70 ml/hr x [times] 12 hours via enteral pump. Infuse
until dose completed to yield 840 ml .
During a review of Resident 13's care plan (an individualized plan for the medical care of a resident), titled,
Requires enteral feeding for nutrition . updated March 18, 2024, the care plan indicated the resident
required enteral nutrition due to .Poor PO (by mouth) intake, malnutrition (lack of proper nutrition), history of
swallowing problem.
During an interview on May 9, 2024, at 3:23 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, his
expectation was that staff follow the physician's orders when administering enteral nutrition. The DON
further stated, enteral nutrition was supposed to be administered until the prescribed dose was complete.
The DON stated, it was important that the resident's receive the amount of enteral nutrition as prescribed,
so the resident received the correct amount of calories daily. The DON stated, if a resident did not receive a
dose of enteral nutrition entirely as prescribed, the staff was supposed to notify the physician that the
resident did not get the full dose and document in the resident's medical record.
During a concurrent interview and record review on May 9, 2024, at 3:34 PM, with the DON, Resident 13's
medical record was reviewed, The DON stated there was no documentation or evidence in Resident 13's
medical record to indicate why the full dose of enteral nutrition was not administered on May 5, 2024. The
DON further stated, after the prescribed 840 ml dose, the bag should have contained only 160 ml of enteral
nutrition. Therefore, there was an excess of 240 ml of enteral nutrition left in the bag which should have
been administered to the resident but was not (equivalent to 3.4 hours of administration at the physician's
prescribed rate).
Based on observation, interview and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the correct amount of
enteral feeding nutrition (a liquid nutrition formula for tube feeding administered directly into the stomach)
was administered as ordered for two of two sample residents (Resident 45 and 13) when the nursing staff
did not give the correct amount of feeding formula as prescribed and in accordance with their care plans
(the individualized plan for medical care of a resident).

These failures resulted in Resident 13 and 45 to not receive the daily calories as ordered and had the
potential to cause sub-optimal (less than ideal) nutritional status that may negatively affect Resident's
health and well-being.
Findings:
Residents Affected - Some
1. During a review of Resident 45's admission Record (contains demographic and medical information), the
admission record indicated Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of acute
cerebrovascular insufficiency (a reduction in blood flow in the brain), gastrostomy status (having a
gastrostomy tube also known as a G-tube, this tube is inserted through the abdomen into stomach to
provide nutrition and fluids directly when a person is unable to eat or drink normally) and dysphagia
(difficulty of swallowing food or liquids).
During a review of Resident 45's MDS (Minimum Data Set - a clinical assessment of all residents in nursing
homes) 3.0 Section C -Cognitive dated February 29, 2024, the MDS indicated Resident 45 had a BIMS
(brief interview for mental status) score of 8 (A score of 8-12 indicated moderate cognitive impairment).
During an observation on May 7, 2024, at 12:15 PM, Resident 45 was observed in bed, a bottle of enteral
nutrition was at her bedside. The bottle was connected to a feeding pump (pump which administers enteral
nutrition) which was not on and was no longer administering enteral nutrition. The label on the enteral
nutrition bottle indicated [Brand Name] 1.2 calories with the total amount of 1000 milliliters (ml-unit of
measurement) liquid formula. The label also indicated, the nursing staff administered the enteral nutrition at
the infusion rate of 50 ml per hour started on May 6, 2024, at 2:00 PM. The enteral nutrition bottle
contained 300 mls of liquid formula.
During an interview on May 7, 2024, at 3:10 PM,with License Vocational Nurse, LVN 3, inspected a
photograph of Resident 45's bottle of [Brand name] 1.2 calories, taken on May 7, 2024, at 12:15 PM, and
acknowledged that there was 300 mL remaining in the bottle. LVN 3, stated Resident 45 did not receive the
fluid for six hours based on how much was left in the bottle. LVN 3 further stated, Resident 45 should have
received 1000 mls instead of only 700 mls. LVN 3 further stated, Resident 45 may not have received the full
amount of enteral feeding, as her feeding may have been placed on hold during personal care activities or
when receiving oral gratification.
During an interview on May 9, 2024, at 9:30 AM, with the Registered Dietitian (RD), RD stated for Resident
45 the enteral nutrition feeding was her primary source of her diet. RD further stated, mentioned that her
expectation was 50 mL to be administered in 20 hours. If this amount was not administered within 20 hours,
they should extend the hours until it was completed. The RD stated, it was important for staff to document a
rationale if the full amount was not administered. Furthermore, the RD stated, if the full amount of feeding
was not received the resident would lose weight.
During a review of Resident 45's physician orders, dated May 10, 2024, a physician order indicated Enteral
feeding [Brand Name] 1.2 [calories per milliliter Cal/mL of the liquid formula] @ [at] 50 mL/hr. x [for] 20

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident 13) received
medications in the route (way by which a medication is taken into the body) prescribed by the physician
when Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2) administered Tramadol (pain medication) 50 milligram (mg - a
unit of measure) PO (by mouth) instead of administering the medication through the residents gastrostomy
tube (G-tube - a feeding tube inserted directly into the abdomen and into the stomach to deliver nutrition)
as ordered by the physician.
This failure resulted in a medication error and LVN 2 to not follow the five rights of medication administration
(right drug, right dosage, right patient, right route, right time). This placed Resident 13 at risk for adverse
outcomes associated with medication errors.
Findings:
A review of Resident 13's admission Record, (contains demographic and medical information), indicated

Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart,
following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure pharmacist recommendations made during monthly
resident Medication Regimen Reviews (MRR - medication reviews done by a pharmacist to identify
irregularities in each resident's medication regimen) were communicated to the physician for two of five
residents (Residents 41 and 43) sampled for unnecessary medications when:
1)
For Resident 41, there was no indication that a physician was notified regarding the pharmacist's MRR
recommendations dated October 18, 2023, which included:
1a) Assessment of the risk versus benefits of therapy related to the increased risk of
death associated with elderly residents with dementia who receive antipsychotics
(medications which alter brain chemistry to help reduce psychotic symptoms like
hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking).
1b) Assessment of the continued use of dual antipsychotic therapy (use of two
antipsychotic medications for treatment) for the resident who was receiving two
antipsychotic medications.
1c) Consideration for the adjunctive use of an antidepressant medication (medication
used to treat depression) for the resident who was receiving Abilify (an antipsychotic
medication) to treat depression.
2)
For Resident 43, there was no indication that a physician was notified regarding the pharmacist's MRR
recommendations dated October 18, 2023, to request Resident 43 have laboratory testing of her Thyroid
Stimulating Hormone (TSH - a hormone produced by the pituitary gland).
These failures had resulted in a delay of notification to the physician to evaluate residents' medication
regimen which had the potential to increase residents' risk of harm and injury without proper dosing
adjustment and monitoring.
Findings:
1) A review of Resident 41's admission Record, (contains demographic and medical information), indicated

elderly patients with dementia who receive atypical and traditional antipsychotics. The statement by the
FDA stated that the literature revealed a 1.6 - 1.7 x [times] relative increased risk of death (4.5% vs 2.6%),
with more recent studies showing similar results. In addition, be aware that the use of this class of
medication for dementia-related behaviors is not FDA-approved. Please assess the risks versus benefits of
therapy in this patient in order to keep the facility in compliance . The document included a section titled,
Physician/Prescriber Response, which indicated three separate checkboxes. One checkbox indicated
agree, while the second checkbox indicated disagree and the third checkbox indicated, Other,. None of the
three checkboxes were checked or completed. In addition, the physician signature and date for
physician/Prescriber Response, were also left blank. Resident 41's clinical record was then reviewed and
there was no evidence that a physician was made aware of the pharmacist's recommendation.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on May 9, 2024, at 10:56 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
pharmacist sends the results of the client's MRR's to him (the DON) and he in turn gives them to the
nursing staff. The DON stated Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4) was responsible to ensure the
pharmacist recommendations were conveyed to the physicians every month. The DON further stated,
documentation regarding follow through of the recommendations was documented on the pharmacist
recommendation forms and copies placed in the residents' clinical record.
During a concurrent interview and record review on May 9, 2024, at 11:06 AM, with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 41's pharmacist medication regimen review recommendations titled, Note to Attending
Physician/Prescriber, (regarding the assessment of the risk versus benefits related to the increased risk of
death for elderly residents with dementia who receive antipsychotics) dated October 18, 2023, was

section, but it was not. The DON acknowledged the Physician/Prescriber Response section was blank. The
DON then reviewed Resident 41's clinical record and stated he was unable to find documented evidence to
indicate the pharmacist's recommendation was conveyed to the physician for consideration.
1b) During a review of Resident 41's pharmacist MRR recommendations titled, Note to Attending
Physician/Prescriber, dated October 18, 2023, the document indicated, This resident is currently on routine
Abilify and Seroquel. Although there may be a good rationale for dual antipsychotic therapy, without such
documentation, the use of two antipsychotics may be viewed as duplicate (and unnecessary therapy by
surveyors). Please consider either treating this resident's psychosis with a single antipsychotic or
documenting in your progress notes your rationale for using two antipsychotics. This will keep the center in
compliance . The document included a section titled, Physician/Prescriber Response, which indicated three
separate checkboxes. One checkbox indicated agree, while the second checkbox indicated disagree and
the third checkbox indicated, Other,. None of the three checkboxes were checked or completed. In addition,

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the medical record for one resident (Resident 13)
was complete and accurate when staff did not document a physician's telephone order (a physicians order
received by a nurse over the phone) regarding a change in the route of medication (means by which a
medication is taken into the body) in Resident 13's clinical record.
This failure resulted in Resident 13's medical record to be incomplete regarding physician's orders which
had the potential for staff to not provide Resident 13 care as specified by the physician.
Findings:
A review of Resident 13's admission Record, (contains demographic and medical information), indicated
Resident 13 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included surgical aftercare
following surgery on the digestive system, malignant neoplasm of pancreas (pancreatic cancer), and
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
During an interview on May 9, 2024, at 11:21 AM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4), LVN 4 stated
he changed the route of multiple medications for Resident 4 to be administered by gastrostomy tube
(G-tube - a feeding tube inserted directly into the abdomen and into the stomach to deliver nutrition) instead
of by mouth after receiving a telephone order from the physician to do so.
During a follow up interview on May 9, 2024, at 11:28 AM, with LVN 4, LVN 4 stated he could not recall
which of Resident 4's medications he changed the route for or how many in total he changed. LVN 4 further
stated he did not document the telephone order anywhere in Resident 13's medical record. LVN 4 stated he
should have documented the order and the interaction with the physician, but he did not.
During an interview on May 9, 2024, at 11:31 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the
