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, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of
seven sampled residents (Resident 1) was provided the necessary GT services. * The facility failed to
ensure Resident 1 was administered the TwoCal HN (a nutritional supplement that is calorie and protein
dense) enteral feeding as per the physician's order and failed to ensure it was documented in the MAR.
These failures had the potential to negatively impact the resident's well-being. Findings: Review of the
facility's P&P titled Enteral Tube Feeding via Gravity revised November 2018 showed the person performing
this procedure should record the following information in the resident's medical record:- The date and time
the procedure was performed.- Verification of tube placement.- Amount and type of enteral feeding and
amount of flush.- The name and title of the individual(s) who performed the procedure.- All assessment
data obtained during the procedure.- How the resident tolerated the procedure.- If the resident refused the
procedure, the reason(s) why and the intervention taken.- The signature and title of the person recording
the data. Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised July 2017 showed all
services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals, or any changes in the resident's
medical, physical, functional or psychosocial condition, shall be documented in the resident's medical
record. The medical record should facilitate communication between the interdisciplinary team regarding
the resident's condition and response to care. Review of the facility's P&P titled Administering Medications
revised April 2019 showed the individual administering the medication initials the resident's MAR on the
appropriate line after giving each medication and before administering the next ones. On 12/1/25, the
CDPH, L&C Program received a complaint alleging Resident 1 was denied a food supplement that was
supposed to be given every three hours. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 12/4/25.
