Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow medication administration
policy for 1 of 8 residents (Resident 9), when the nurse did not hold the feeding tube before administering
Phenytoin (medication used to treat and control seizure/epilepsy.). This failure had the potential to result in
Phenytoin subtherapeutic blood levels (a dosage less than the amount required for a therapeutic effect),
which could put Resident 9 at risk for seizures.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During a medication administration observation and concurrent interview on 12/12/18, at 10:30 a.m. for
Resident 9, Licensed Staff C was preparing to administer medications that would go into the J-tube
(Jejunostomy tube - a soft, plastic tube placed through the skin of the abdomen into the midsection of the
small intestine). Resident 9's nutritional supplement, via the feeding tube (medical device used to provide
nutrition to people who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth, unable to swallow safely, or need nutritional
supplementation), was running at 45 milliliter per hour (ml/hr). At 10:45 a.m., Licensed Staff C verified the
feeding tube was running. Licensed Staff C stated staff held the feeding tube at 8 a.m., and restarted it at
10:30 a.m. At 10:48 a.m., Licensed Staff C turned off the feeding tube machine. At 10:55 a.m., Licensed
Staff C administered the medications, including Phenytoin 350 mg via the J-tube. At 11:21 a.m., Licensed
Staff C turned on the feeding tube machine. Licensed Staff C stated the feeding tube would be held for 50
minutes before it restarted running at 45 ml/hr, automatically.
During an interview on 12/12/18, at 2:57 p.m., Administrator A stated the feeding tubes were held before
administering Phenytoin.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Medication Administration through a Feeding Tube, dated 11/16,
indicated, Phenytoin. Administration with continuous tube feeding may result in subtherapeutic blood levels.
Discontinue tube feeding 2 hours before and after phenytoin administration.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide respiratory care for 1 of 8
residents (Resident 7), when Resident 7's corrugated aerosol tubing was disconnected from the oxygen
source. This failure had the potential to result in respiratory distress for Resident 7.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
During an observation on 12/10/18, at 9:05 a.m. Resident 7 had a tracheostomy (an opening in the neck
used to deliver oxygen to the lungs). Resident 7's corrugated aerosol tubing was disconnected from the
oxygen source and humidifier (medical devices used to humidify supplemental oxygen to provide
long-lasting moisture for patients' comfort during oxygen therapy, especially in drier climates).
During an observation and concurrent interview on 12/10/18, at 9:12 a.m., Licensed Staff B noticed
Resident 7's corrugated aerosol tubing was disconnected from the oxygen source. Licensed Staff B stated
the aerosol tubing came off. Licensed Staff B stated if the Respiratory Therapists from Night and Day shift
did a walking round (giving reports at resident bedside); the disconnected aerosol tubing would have been
noticed. Licensed Staff B stated he would replace the corrugated aerosol tubing and reconnect it to
Resident 7.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Respiratory Care Equipment, dated 7/18, indicated, The Respiratory
Care Service is responsible for providing respiratory equipment in conjunction with respiratory care
modalities and to assure safe and effective services to the patient.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow infection control practices
when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. The staff did not dispose of the suction catheter right away after suctioning Resident 1's airway; and
2. Condensation collected from Resident 7's corrugated aerosol tubing was touching the floor.
These failures had the potential to spread infection among residents and staff.
Findings:
1. During an observation and concurrent interview on 12/10/18, at 10:19 a.m., Resident 1 was sitting in his
wheelchair by the nurse station with a suction catheter laying on top of his pillow. When the suction catheter
was pointed out, Licensed Staff D stated, I think it's suction. Licensed Staff D disposed of the suction
catheter.
Review of the Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (an assessment tool) dated 9/9/18, indicated the facility was
providing oxygen therapy, suctioning and tracheostomy care (an opening in the neck in order to place a
tube into a person's windpipe, requiring care to keep the tube clean to prevent a clogged and decreased
risk of infection.).
During an interview on 12/13/18, at 4:15 p.m., Licensed Staff E stated the suction catheter was to be
thrown away after use.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Tracheal Suctioning and Sterile Technique, dated 4/17, indicated,
Disconnect the catheter and fold it inside your gloves while removing them. Discard the catheter, gloves,
rinsing solution and container into a waster container.
2. During an observation on 12/10/18, at 9:05 a.m., the condensation collector of the corrugated aerosol
tubing connected to Resident 7, was touching floor.
Review of the Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (an assessment tool) dated 10/17/18, indicated the facility
was providing oxygen therapy.
During an observation on 12/11/18, at 1:05 p.m., the condensation collector of the aerosol tubing
connected to Resident 7, was touching the floor.
During an observation on 12/13/18 at 3:36 p.m., the condensation collector of the aerosol tubing connected
to Resident 7, was touching the floor. When pointed out, Licensed Staff C stated the condensation collector
was not supposed to touch the floor. Licensed Staff C stated she fixed the aerosol tubing that morning but it
moved.
During an interview on 12/13/18, at 3:15 a.m., when asked about the condensation collector of the aerosol
tubing touching the floor, Administrator F stated, Totally unacceptable, nothing should be on the floor.
