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 provide reasonable accommodation of
resident needs and preferences by failing to ensure the call light (an alerting device for nurses or other
nursing personnel to assist a patient when in need) was within reach for two (2) of (2) sampled residents
(Residents 4 and 2) reviewed under the Environment task.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in the delay of care and services and possible injury to
residents when they are unable to call for assistance.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 4's Admission/Registration form, the Admission/Registration form indicated
the facility originally admitted the resident on 8/24/2018 and readmitted in the facility on 12/20/2024
During a review of Resident 4's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 4
had diagnoses of chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which your lungs have a hard time
loading your blood with oxygen and can leave you with low oxygen), ventilator (a medical device to help
support or replace breathing) dependent, and seizure (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the
brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness) disorder.
During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 2/5/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 4 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required total assistance from staff with all activities of daily living
(ADLs - activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily).
During a review of Resident 4's SA Fall Risk Assessments (a simple method of assessing a resident's
likelihood of falling), dated 8/15/2024, 11/8/2024, and 2/6/2025, the SA Fall Risk Assessments indicated the
resident is a high risk for falls.
During a review of Resident 4's care plan (CP) on risk for falls, initiated on 1/2/2025, the CP indicated to
place call light within reach at all times as one of the interventions to prevent falls or injury.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 4/11/2025, at 8:07 p.m., inside Resident 4's room, with
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 confirmed and stated Resident 4's call light was hanging on the
wall at the head of the bed. CNA 1 stated staff should place the call lights within

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Attending Physician (AP) was notified
timely for one of four sampled residents (Resident 16) when Resident 16 had a change in condition.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in delay of obtaining appropriate instructions from the AP for proper management of
Resident 16's health condition.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 16's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record
indicated the facility admitted Resident 16 on 1/1/2025 due to chronic respiratory failure (occurs when the
respiratory system cannot adequately provide oxygen to the body).
During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order dated 1/22/2024, the Physician's Order indicated
Resident 16's diagnoses included seizure disorder (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the
brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness), traumatic brain injury
(TBI- a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the
head) from motor vehicle accident, and respiratory failure with tracheostomy (a procedure to help air and
oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe] from outside the neck).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/10/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 16 was on vegetative state (a condition where someone appears awake but
lacks awareness of their surroundings, and they can't engage in purposeful actions or communicate). The
MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs- routine
tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The
MDS indicated Resident 16 was always incontinent (unable to control) of bowel and bladder functions.
During a review of Resident 16's Nurses Notes, dated 3/12/2025, timed at 11 p.m., the Nurses Notes
indicated Resident 16 had a temperature of 101.2 Fahrenheit (F-unit of measuring temperature) and
increased thick, dark yellow secretions.
During a review of Resident 16's Nurses Notes, dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:32 a.m., the Nurses Notes
indicated the AP was notified of Resident 16's change in condition - fever, increased yellow secretions,
excessive coughing and emesis (act of vomiting) twice. The Nurses notes indicated Resident 16's
temperature was 99.5 F and heart rate at 120 beats per minute (bpm-normal heart rate ranges from
60-100) with oxygen saturation (O2 sat- a measurement of how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a
percentage) of 95 percent (%). The Nurses Notes indicated the AP had new orders.
During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order, dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:25 a.m., the Physician's
Order indicated the following orders:
1. Blood culture (a laboratory test to check for bacteria or other germs in a blood sample),

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents received care
consistent with professional standards of practice to prevent pressure injuries (PI/PU - localized damage to
the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) by failing to ensure heels were floated on
two pillows for one of one sampled resident (Resident 14) during a random observation.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 14's deep tissue injury (damage to the deeper layers
of the skin and underlying tissues, like muscle and fat, caused by pressure or shear forces) to reappear or
form new PI.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 14's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record
indicated the facility admitted Resident 14 on 1/12/2025.
During a review of Resident 14's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/25/24, the H&P indicated Resident
14 was unable to provide meaningful information.
During a review of Resident 14's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 14 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS
further indicated Resident 14 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and
dressing.
During a review of Resident 14's Physician's Orders, dated between 4/1/2025 to 4/30/2025, the physician's
orders indicated the resident had diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition
where the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide
[gas given off from breathing]) with vent (machine that breathes for a person when they cannot breathe on
their own), chronic encephalopathy(group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), and dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities). The Physician's Orders further indicated Resident 14 was
ordered to float heels on two pillows on 1/16/2025.
During a review of Resident 14's Deep Tissue Injury Care Plan (CP), initiated on 1/16/2025, the CP
indicated Resident 14 had a dry, intact, dark brown wound bed on the left heel. The CP further indicated
interventions to float heels on two pillows.
During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/13/2025, at 7:46 a.m., inside Resident 14's room, with
Registered Nurse (RN) 3, Resident 14 laid in bed and RN 3 lifted the covers from Resident 14's legs.
Resident 14's heels touched the mattress and RN 3 stated Resident 14's heels were touching the mattress,
and they should be propped up on two pillows so they would float. RN 3 stated Resident 14 has an order to
float her heels on two pillows to prevent skin breakdown and it was not followed by the facility staff. RN 3
further stated the deep tissue injury to Resident 14's heel has resolved, but the facility must continue to
float her heels to prevent another one.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Pressure/Vascular (relating to blood
vessels) Ulcer Management last reviewed 2/2025, the P&P indicated to use pressure relief device, as

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was
incontinent (lacks voluntary control over urination) of bladder (organ in the pelvis that stores urine) received
appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI - an infection in the
bladder/urinary tract) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 2) observed during the screening process
by failing to keep Resident 2's urinary catheter tubing (also known as an indwelling catheter, a hollow tube
inserted into the bladder to drain or collect urine) from looping and allowing the contents to flow freely into
the urinary catheter bag (container that connects to a urinary catheter and collects urine).
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 2 to develop catheter associated urinary tract infection
(CAUTI - an infection of the urinary tract caused by a urinary catheter).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record
indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 4/4/2025.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 2 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further
indicated Resident 2 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing.
During a review of Resident 2's Nutritional Screening, dated 4/11/2025, the Nutritional Screening indicated
Resident 2's diagnoses included chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are
unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from
breathing]), chronic encephalopathy (group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), tracheostomy,
cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to damage to the developing
brain before, during, or shortly after birth), and seizure disorder (a sudden, temporary disturbance of the
brain's electrical activity).
During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan (CP) titled, Potential for infection [related to] presence of
indwelling catheter, dated 4/4/2025, the CP indicated an intervention to check that the urinary catheter
tubing was not kinked and there is a free flow of urine at all times.
During an observation, on 4/13/2025, at 7:40 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, Resident 2 laid in bed with a
urinary catheter bag hanging on the right side of the resident's bedframe. The urinary catheter tubing hung
below the middle-right side of the bed and had a large loop. The looped portion of the urinary catheter
tubing contained yellow liquid with a small amount of sediment.
During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/13/2025, at 7:46 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, with
Registered Nurse (RN) 6, RN 6 confirmed and stated Resident 2's urinary catheter tubing was looped and
contained yellow liquid with white sediment. RN 6 stated the urinary catheter tubing should be straight in
order drain the urine into the urinary catheter bag. RN 6 further stated if the urine is not draining properly,
Resident 2 can possibly get an infection because the urine might backflow into his body.

Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids 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 administer total parenteral nutrition
(TPN - a method of feeding that delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream through a hollow tube,
bypassing the digestive system) consistent with professional standards of practice by failing to label the
TPN bag and PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter - thin, flexible tube inserted into a vein in the
upper arm and guided to a large vein near the heart) line tubing with the date and time it was started on
one of one resident (Resident 2) during a random screening.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to increase Resident 2's risk for complications from TPN such as
bacteria growth in the tubing.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record
indicated the facility admitted Resident 2 on 4/4/2025.
During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 3/7/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 2 was rarely/never understood and never/rarely made decisions. The MDS further
indicated Resident 2 was dependent on facility staff for activities such as eating, hygiene and dressing.
During a review of Resident 2's Nutritional Screening, dated 4/11/2025, the Nutritional Screening indicated
Resident 2's diagnoses included chronic respiratory failure (a long-term condition where the lungs are
unable to adequately exchange oxygen [gas used for breathing]and carbon dioxide [gas given off from
breathing]), chronic encephalopathy (group of conditions that cause brain dysfunction), tracheostomy,
cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that affect movement and posture due to damage to the developing
brain before, during, or shortly after birth), and seizure disorder (a sudden, temporary disturbance of the
brain's electrical activity).
During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan (CP) titled, Potential for Infection Related to the Presence of a
PICC Line, the CP indicated an intervention to change tubing according to protocol.
During an observation, on 4/13/2025, at 7:40 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, Resident 2 laid in bed with
TPN running and connected to his PICC line on his right upper arm. The TPN bag and tubing did not have a
date or time it was started.
During a concurrent observation and interview, 4/13/2025, at 7:46 a.m., inside Resident 2's room, with
Registered Nurse (RN) 6, RN 6 confirmed and stated Resident 2's TPN bag and tubing were not labeled
with the date and time it was started. RN 6 stated it was the facility's practice and policy to indicate the date
and time started on every bag of TPN, medication, and tubing so other nurses will know what time it was
started and to reduce confusion. RN 6 further stated Resident 2 had the potential to acquire an infection
from the unlabeled TPN bag and tubing.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, IV (intravenous - through the vein)
Therapy Protocol, last reviewed 2/2025, the P&P indicated the nurse starting the bag dates and initials the
bag and can be done by writing on the resident's name label or use an auxiliary (something that gives
aid/helps of any kind) label.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure respiratory care provided to
residents were consistent with professional standards of practice for one (1) of 1 sampled residents
(Resident 9) reviewed for respiratory care by failing to ensure the Yankauer suction catheter (long plastic
tool used to remove secretions [thick or thin sticky fluids from the mouth and throat]) was labeled with the
date when the catheter will be changed next.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice placed the resident at risk for acquiring infection from possibly contaminated
equipment.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 9's Admission/Registration form, the Admission/Registration form indicated the
facility originally admitted the resident on 10/9/2018 and readmitted in the facility on 12/31/2024
During a review of Resident 9's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/2/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 9
had diagnoses of respiratory failure (a long-term condition in which your lungs have a hard time loading
your blood with oxygen and can leave you with low oxygen), ventilator (a medical device to help support or
replace breathing) dependent, and seizure (a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which
can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness) disorder.
During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 1/17/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 9 had severely impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) and required total assistance from staff with all activities of daily living
(ADLs- activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily). The MDS indicated
Resident 9 received suctioning treatments.
During a review of Resident 9's Physician's Orders, dated 10/9/2018, the Physician's Orders indicated an
order to suction retained or increased secretions every two (2) hours and as needed.
During a review of Resident 9's care plan (CP) on potential for infection, last revised on 12/31/2024, the CP
indicated to suction every 2 hours and as needed retained or increased secretions and oral care every shift
and as needed as a few of the interventions to minimize risk for signs and symptoms of respiratory
infection.
During an observation, on 4/11/2025, at 7:02 p.m., inside Resident 9's room, Resident 9's Yankauer suction
catheter, inside an opened storage bag, did not have a label with an opened date.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 4/11/2025, at 7:10 p.m., inside Resident 9's room, with
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 9, LVN 9 stated night shift licensed nurses change all resident respiratory
equipment, including Yankauer suction catheters, every morning at 6 am prior to end of shift and place a
sticker indicating the date and time the equipment will be changed next. LVN 9 stated she did not know
what happened with the sticker indicating that she changed the Yankauer suction catheter on 4/11/2025 at
6 a.m. and will be changed 4/12/2025 at 6 a.m. LVN 9 stated if the suction catheter was changed during the
morning shift, the storage bag should have a sticker indicating to change on 4/12/2025 at 6 a.m. LVN 9

sticker of when it will be changed next so the staff would know that the Yankauer suction catheter was
changed as scheduled and was not old which placed Resident 9 at risk for infection if the suction catheter
was possibly contaminated.
During an interview, on 4/13/2025, at 8:28 a.m., with the Director of Sub Acute (DSA), the DSA stated all
respiratory equipment in the resident room such as the suction canisters and Yankauer suction catheters
are changed every morning by the night shift licensed nurse prior to end of shift. The DSA stated Resident
9's Yankauer suction catheter should have indicated the date and time of when it would be changed next.
The DSA stated when the staff change the Yankauer suction catheter to a new one and indicate the date
and time of when it would be changed, the other staff would know that the suction catheter was not old. The
DSA stated an unlabeled Yankauer suction catheter could possibly be contaminated which can lead to
residents acquiring an infection.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Changing & Emptying of Suction Set Ups,
last reviewed on 2/2025, the P&P indicated a purpose to minimize risk of infection. The P&P further
indicated:
- All suction extension tubing and Yankauer suction devices will be changed daily and as needed and the
Yankauer rinsed after each use.
- During equipment changing, gather needed clean or sterile disposable items, label with date it will be
changed, and initials of staff member making the change.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pharmaceutical services (including
procedures that assure the accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and administering of all drugs and
biologicals) for three of five sampled residents (Residents 4, 3, and 18) by:
1. Failing to ensure Registered Nurse (RN) 2 administered 20-50 milliliter (ml - unit of volume) of water after
medication administration to Resident 4 as per physician's order.
2. Failing to ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 flushed (also known as rinsing) Resident 3's
gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a feeding tube inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall, used to
deliver nutrition, fluids, and medications directly to the stomach when someone cannot eat or drink
adequately by mouth) with water in between medication administration as per facility's policy and
procedures.
3. Failing to ensure LVN 2 flushed Resident 18's g-tube with water in between medication administration as
per facility's policy and procedure.
These failures had the potential to result in medication error and can result in medication drug interaction (a
change in how the body responds to one medication when it's taken with another, or when it interacts with
food, drinks, or even certain medical conditions can make a drug less effective, cause unwanted side
effects, or even increase the action of a drug).
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 4's Physician's Orders, dated 10/18/2024, the Physician's order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 4 on 10/18/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure (the
lungs are unable to get enough oxygen into the blood or get rid of enough carbon dioxide, leading to
breathing difficulties and fatigue over a long period), ventilator dependent (a resident requires medical
device to help support or replace breathing), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). The Physician's Order
indicated to flush feeding tube (g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after medication administration.
During a review of Resident 4's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 2/5/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 4's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding)
skills for daily decisions were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent to staff for
all activities of daily living (ADL- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person
performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS indicated Resident 4 had a feeding tube (g-tube).
During a review of Resident 4's Care Plan on at risk for aspiration (accidentally inhaling something other
than air into your lungs, like food, water, or stomach contents) due to tube feeding (g-tube), dated 1/2/2025,
the Care Plan indicated an intervention to maintain patency of feeding tube (g-tube), by flushing with water
at a minimum of one ounce (oz = 30 ml) every shift and after medication administration.

4's room, observed RN 2 administer 30 ml of water in between medication administration but administered
10 ml of water after the third and last medication administration. RN 2 stated the last medication she
administered was Protonix (medication used to decrease acid in the stomach) then flushed Resident 4's
g-tube with 10 ml of water.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/12/2025 at 11:23 a.m., with RN 2, Resident 4's
Physician's Order dated 10/18/2024, was reviewed. RN 2 stated the Physician's Order indicated to flush
g-tube with 20-50 ml of water after medication administration. RN 2 stated 10 ml of water flush may not be
enough and can clog Resident 4's g-tube.
During an interview on 4/13/2025 at 5:31 p.m., with the Director of Subacute (DSA), the DSA stated g-tube
should be flushed with 30 ml to 50 ml of water before and after medication administration. The DSA stated
medication cannot be fully absorb if RN 2 flushed only 10 ml of water after medication administration. The
DSA stated the importance of flushing g-tube with enough water was for hydration and also to make sure
all the medication will reach the resident and not just left in the g-tube. The DSA stated the facility's policy
was to flush g-tube with water after medication administration.
2. During a review of Resident 3's Physician's Order dated 2/7/2025, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 3 on 2/7/2025, with diagnoses that included chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure
(a long-term condition where the lungs struggle to provide enough oxygen to the blood), tracheostomy (a
procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe)] from
outside the neck) and pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs). The Physician's Order indicated
to flush feeding tube (g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after giving medication.
During a review of Resident 3's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 3's cognitive skills for
decision making were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 3 was dependent to staff for ADL.
The MDS indicated Resident 3 had a feeding tube (g-tube).
During a review of Resident 3's Care Plan on the resident's risk for aspiration due to tube feeding (g-tube),
dated 1/2/2025, the Care Plan indicated an intervention to maintain patency of feeding tube by flushing with
water at a minimum of 30 ml every shift and after medication administration.
During an observation on 4/12/2025 at 9 a.m., observed LVN 1 administer crushed levetiracetam (also
known as Keppra, medication used to treat seizures [a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the
brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness] mixed with water to
Resident 3's g-tube. Observed undissolved Keppra remaining in the medication cup and LVN 1 poured
water in the remaining Keppra and administered to Resident 3's g-tube. Observed then LVN 1 administer
crushed fluconazole (medication used to treat serious fungal [organisms that can live in various
environments like soil, air, plants, and the human body] or yeast [a living microorganism naturally present in
the environment and in our gut] infection) mixed with water thereafter.
During an interview on 4/12/2025 at 5:36 p.m., with the Pharmacist (Pharm 1), Pharm 1 stated Keppra
followed by fluconazole g-tube administration had moderate interaction (signifies a level of interaction that
may warrant adjustments or monitoring by a healthcare provider) that could cause Resident 3 to be at low
risk for QTc prolongation (means it takes the heart longer than usual to fully recharge between beats).

Drug Interaction dated 2025 provided by Pharm 1 was reviewed. The Drug Interaction indicated Keppra
was a QT prolonging agents (Intermediate Risk-moderate chance of a negative outcome or potential
issues) and fluconazole was a QT-prolonging agents (moderate risk-these drugs can increase the risk of
Torsade's de Pointes [TdP-a potentially life-threatening heart rhythm disturbance]). The Drug Interaction
indicated no action was required for the majority of residents. The Drug Interaction indicated increased
electrocardiogram (ECG-a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, helping doctors diagnose and
monitor heart condition) monitoring may be considered in residents at high risk for QT interval prolongation
(example older age, female .).The Drug Interaction indicated the risk of combining these agents is unclear,
but product labelling for at least some of these indeterminate risk drugs suggest additional caution and
increased ECG monitoring may be warranted when combined with drugs that prolong the QT interval.
3. During a review of Resident 18's Physician's Order, dated 7/25/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 18 on 7/25/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure,
ventilator dependent, and dysphagia with gastrostomy tube. The Physician's Order indicated flush feeding
tube (g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after giving medication.
During a review of Resident 18's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 18's cognitive skills for
decision making were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 18 was dependent to staff for ADL.
The MDS indicated Residents 18 had a feeding tube (g-tube).
During a review of Resident 18's Care Plan on the resident's risk for aspiration due to tube feeding dated
12/31/2024, the Care Plan indicated an intervention to maintain patency of feeding tube by flushing with
water at a minimum of 30 ml every shift and after medication administration.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2025 at 12:30 p.m., with LVN 2, at Resident 18's
bedside, observed LVN 2 administer liquid docusate (also known as Colace, medication used to soften
stool) and then followed by crushed bethanechol (also known as Urecholine, medication used to treat
urinary retention [the inability to completely empty the bladder]) mixed with water to Resident 18's g-tube.
LVN 2 stated she missed flushing Resident 18's g-tube in between the two medications (Colace and
Urecholine). LVN 2 stated she should have flushed Resident 18's g-tube with water in between medication
administration.
During an interview on 4/13/2025 at 5:31 p.m., with the DSA, the DSA stated g-tube should be flushed with
water in between medication administration. The DSA stated LVN 1 and LVN 2 should have given free water
in between medication administration to prevent possible drug interaction. The DSA stated it is the facility's
policy to flush g-tube in between medication administration.
During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Medication Administration dated 2/2025, the
P&P indicated, Procedure: Tube Administration , .
10. Draw the liquefied medications into the feeding syringe or pour into connected feeding syringe by
gravity. Allow medications to flow by gravity through the enteral tube. Gentle pressure with the syringe
plunger may be used, if necessary. Never 'force' medications/fluids through tubing.

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 that its medication error rate was less
than five percent (%- per one hundred), four medication errors out of 26 total opportunities contributed to
an overall medication error rate of 15.38% affecting two of five sampled residents (Resident's 3 and 18)
observed for medication administration by:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Failing to ensure Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) flushed Resident 3's gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a
feeding tube inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall, used to deliver nutrition, fluids, and
medications directly to the stomach when someone cannot eat or drink adequately by mouth) with water in
between medication administration as per facility's policy and procedure.
2. Failing to ensure LVN 2 flushed Resident 18's g-tube with water in between medication administration as
per facility's policy and procedure.
These failures had the potential to result in residents experiencing medication adverse effects (unwanted,
uncomfortable, or dangerous effects that a medication may have) and medication error.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 3's Physician's Order, dated 2/7/2025, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 3 on 2/7/2025, with diagnoses that included chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure
(a long-term condition where the lungs struggle to provide enough oxygen to the blood), tracheostomy (a
procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe)] from
outside the neck) and pneumonia (an infection/inflammation in the lungs). The Physician's Order indicated
flush feeding tube (g-tube) with 20-50 milliliter (ml-unit of volume) of water before and after giving
medication.
During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 2/20/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 3's cognitive skills for decision making were severely impaired. The MDS
indicated Resident 3 was dependent to staff for ADL. The MDS indicated Resident 3 had a feeding tube
(g-tube).
During a review of Resident 3's Care Plan on risk for aspiration due to tube feeding (g-tube), dated
1/2/2025, the Care Plan indicated an intervention to maintain patency of feeding tube by flushing with water
at a minimum of 30 ml every shift and after medication administration.
During an observation on 4/12/2025, at 9 a.m., observed LVN 1 administer crushed Keppra (medication
used to treat seizures [a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause
uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss of consciousness] mixed with water to Resident 3's g-tube.
Observed undissolved Keppra remaining in the medication cup and LVN 1 poured water in the remaining
Keppra and administered to Resident 3's g-tube. Observed LVN 1then administer crushed fluconazole
(medication used to treat serious fungal [organisms that can live in various environments like soil, air,
plants, and the human body] or yeast [a living microorganism naturally present in the environment and in
our gut] infection) mixed with water thereafter.
During an interview on 4/12/2025, at 5:36 p.m., with th e Pharmacist (Pharm 1), Pharm 1 stated Keppra

interaction that may warrant adjustments or monitoring by a healthcare provider) that could cause Resident
3 to be at low risk for QTc prolongation (means it takes the heart longer than usual to fully recharge
between beats).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/12/2025, at 7:05 p.m., with Pharm 1, an online Drug
Interaction dated 2025 provided by the Pharm 1 was reviewed. The Drug Interaction indicated Keppra was
a QT prolonging agents (Intermediate Risk-moderate chance of a negative outcome or potential issues)
and fluconazole was a QT-prolonging agents (moderate risk-these drugs can increase the risk of Torsade's
de Pointes [TdP-a potentially life-threatening heart rhythm disturbance]). The Drug Interaction indicated no
action was required for the majority of residents. The Drug Interaction indicated increased
electrocardiogram (ECG-a test that records the electrical activity of the heart, helping doctors diagnose and
monitor heart condition) monitoring may be considered in residents at high risk for QT interval prolongation
(example older age, female .).The Drug Interaction indicated the risk of combining these agents is unclear,
but product labeling for at least some of these indeterminate risk drugs suggest additional caution and
increased ECG monitoring may be warranted when combined with drugs that prolong the QT interval.
2. During a review of Resident 18's Physician's Order, dated 7/25/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 18 on 7/25/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure,
ventilator dependent (a resident requires medical device to help support or replace breathing), and
dysphagia (swallowing problem) with gastrostomy tube. The Physician's Order indicated flush feeding tube
(g-tube) with 20-50 ml of water before and after giving medication.
During a review of Resident 18's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 18's cognitive skills for
decision making were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 18 was dependent to staff for ADL.
The MDS indicated Residents 18 had a feeding tube (g-tube).
During a review of Resident 18's Care Plan on risk for aspiration due to tube feeding dated 12/31/2024, the
Care Plan indicated an intervention to maintain patency of feeding tube by flushing with water at a minimum
of 30 ml every shift and after medication administration.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/13/2025, at 12:30 p.m., with LVN 2, at Resident 18's
bedside, observed LVN 2 administer liquid Colace (medication used to soften stool) and then followed by
crushed Urecholine (medication used to treat urinary retention [the inability to completely empty the
bladder]) mixed with water to Resident 18's g-tube. LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) missed flushing Resident 18's
g-tube in between the two medication (Colace and Urecholine). LVN 2 stated she (LVN 2) should have
flushed Resident 18's g-tube with water in between medication administration.
During an interview on 4/13/2025 at 5:31 p.m., with the Director of Subacute (DSA), the DSA stated g-tube
should be flushed with water in between medication administration. The DSA stated not flushing Resident 3
and 18's g-tube in between medication administration was a medication error. The DSA stated LVN 1 and
LVN 2 should have given free water in between medication administration to prevent possible drug
interaction. The DSA stated it is the facility's policy to flush g-tube in between medication administration.
During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled , Medication Administration dated 2/2025, the
P&P indicated, Procedure: Tube Administration, .

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food
storage and food preparation practices in the kitchen when the kitchen failed to label:
Residents Affected - Some
1 box of bacon
1 box of sausages
1 tray of eggs
These failures had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination (a transfer of
harmful bacteria from one place to another or one object to another) that could lead to foodborne illness
(illness caused by food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, and other toxins) in one out of twenty medically
compromised residents who receive food from the kitchen.
Findings:
During an initial kitchen tour observation, on 4/11/2025, at 7:32 p.m., inside refrigerator 10, a large box of
sausage, a large box of bacon, and a large open carton of eggs were unsealed and without an open or use
by date written on the two boxes and the carton of eggs.
During a concurrent observation and interview, with the Dietary Clerk (DC), on 4/11/2025, at 6:20 p.m., the
DC looked into refrigerator 10 and stated the cook is in charge of labeling items and the cook did not label
the boxes of sausage, bacon, and eggs with an open/best by date. The DC further stated without an open
date, the facility will not know if the food is safe to serve.
During an interview, on 4/13/2025, at 2:15 p.m., with the Food and Nutrition Director (FND), the FND stated
every food item received must have a received and best by date and every food item opened must have an
open date to prevent food borne illnesses.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Food Storage, last revised on 2/2025, the
P&P indicated food are to be stored in a safe and sanitary manner to prevent chemical and bacteriological
contamination as well as time/temperature abuse. The P&P further indicated to rotate produce, frozen
foods, dairy products etc. so that the oldest dates are used first.

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
observation, interview, and record review. the facility failed to maintain accurate and complete medical
record for two of five sampled residents (Residents 18 and 19) by:
1. Failing to ensure Resident 18's medical record was accurate when the written order for docusate sodium
(medication used to soften stool) was in soft gel (capsule) form and the electronic order was in liquid form.
2. Failed to ensure Resident 19's medical record was accurate when Licensed Vocational Nurse 7 (LVN 7)
documented presence of bleeding and administered Eliquis (medication used to prevent blood clot).
These failures had the potential to cause confusion in care and the medical records containing inaccurate
documentation.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 18's Physician's Order, dated 7/25/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 18 on 7/25/2024, with diagnoses that included chronic respiratory failure (a
condition that occurs when the lungs cannot get enough oxygen into the blood), ventilator dependent (a
person that requires a medical device to help support or replace breathing) and dysphagia (swallowing
difficulty) with gastrostomy tube (g-tube, a feeding tube inserted into the stomach through the abdominal
wall, sued to deliver nutrition, fluids and medications). The Physician's Order indicated docusate sodium
soft gel 100 milligram (mg- metric unit of measurement, used for medication dosage and/or amount)
capsule, give one capsule via g-tube three times a day as stool softener.
During a review of Resident 18's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 2/4/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 18's cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and
understanding) skills for decision making were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 18 was
dependent to staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and
toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS indicated Residents 18 had a feeding
tube (g-tube).
During an observation on 4/12/2025, at 8:44 a.m., inside Resident 18's room, observed LVN 1 administer
docusate sodium 50 mg/5 milliliter (ml-unit of measurement), gave 10 ml liquid to Resident 18's g-tube.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/12/2025, at 3:37 p.m., with Minimum Data Set Nurse
(MDSN), Resident 18's Physician's Order dated 7/25/2024, was reviewed. The Physician's Order indicated
docusate sodium soft gel 100 mg capsule, give one capsule via g-tube three times a day as stool softener.
The MDSN stated the physician's order should have been clarified with the physician.
During an interview on 4/12/2025 at 3:47 p.m., with Registered Nurse (RN) 3, RN 3 stated there were
inaccurate documentation between the written order for docusate sodium compared to the electronic order.

stated the physician should have been called to change the physician's order to liquid.
2. During a review of Resident 19's Admission/Registration Record, the Admission/Registration Record
indicated the facility admitted Resident 19 on 2/12/2025, with diagnoses that included acute hypoxic
respiratory failure (a serious condition where the lungs fail to adequately oxygenate the blood, leading to
low oxygen levels in the bloodstream).
During a review of Resident 19's Physician's Order dated 2/12/2025, the Physician's Order indicated
Resident 19 had diagnoses that included acute hypoxic respiratory failure, tracheostomy (a procedure to
help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe] from outside the
neck) and sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection).
During a review of Resident 19's Care Plan on at risk for bruise (a discoloration of the skin caused by blood
leaking from broken blood vessels beneath the skin), skin tear and abrasion (a superficial rub or wearing off
of the skin, usually caused by a scrape or a brush burn) due to anticoagulant therapy (also known as blood
thinning, involves using medications to reduce the ability of blood to clot) dated 2/14/2025, the Care plan
indicated the following interventions:
1. Monitor and report any bruises, skin tears, and abrasions.
2. Monitor for signs and symptoms of bleeding, report hematuria (blood in the urine), blood stool, nose
bleeding, hemoptysis (coughing of blood), and bleeding gums.
During a review of Resident 19's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 19 was on vegetative
state. The MDS indicated Resident 19 was dependent to staff for all ADLs. The MDS indicated Resident 19
was on anticoagulant.
During a review of Resident 19's Physician's Order dated 2/21/2025, the Physician's Order indicated
resume Eliquis 5 mg via g-tube every 12 hours.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/12/2025 at 8:05 p.m., with the MDSN, Resident 19's
Medication Administration Record (MAR- a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to
document medications and treatments given to a resident) dated 4/8/2025 for Eliquis was reviewed. The
MAR indicated Eliquis was given to Resident 19 on 4/8/2025 at 9:33 p.m., with documented signs of
bleeding. The MDSN stated if bleeding was noted, Eliquis should have been held (not administered).
During an interview on 4/13/2025, at 5:31 p.m. with the Director of Subacute (DSA), the DSA stated Eliquis
is an anticoagulant and had a side effect of bleeding. The DSA stated residents on Eliquis are monitored for
signs of bleeding and if residents had signs of bleeding, Eliquis should have been held to prevent further
bleeding that can lead to complication. The DSA stated LVN 7 made an incorrect documentation. The DSA
stated the importance of accurate documentation was to prevent miscommunication. The DSA stated the
facility's policy was to document accurately the things observed and care provided.
During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Charting Guidelines dated 6/2024 was

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement policy for antibiotic (medication used to treat
infection) stewardship (efforts in doctors' offices, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other health care
settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate, means prescribing the
right drug at the right dose at the right time for the right duration) for two of five sampled residents
(Resident 16 and 19) by:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Failing to monitor Resident 16 for antibiotic use, side effects or adverse reaction (unintended
pharmacologic effects that occur when a medication is administered correctly while a side effect is a
secondary unwanted effect).
2. Failing to ensure Infection Control Surveillance Log (record that involves the systematic collection,
analysis, and interpretation of data related to infections within a healthcare setting) for Resident 19's
antibiotics was completely filled up in 3/2025.
These failures had the potential to increase antibiotic resistance (don't respond to a drug) from
unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order dated 1/22/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 16 on 1/22/2024, with diagnoses that included seizure disorder (a sudden,
uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss
of consciousness), traumatic brain injury (TBI- a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be
caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head) from motor vehicle accident, and respiratory failure (occurs
when the respiratory system cannot adequately provide oxygen to the body), with tracheostomy (a
procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe] from
outside the neck).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated 3/10/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 16 was on vegetative state (a condition where someone appears awake but
lacks awareness of their surroundings, and they cannot engage in purposeful actions or communicate). The
MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADL- routine
tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The
MDS indicated Resident 16 was always incontinent (unable to control) of bowel and bladder functions.
During a review of Resident 16's Nurses Notes dated 3/12/2025, timed at 11 p.m., the Nurses Notes
indicated Resident 16 had a temperature of 101.2 Fahrenheit and an increased thick, dark yellow secretion.
During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:25 a.m., the Physician's
Order indicated the following orders.

Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program
in the nursing home.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled staff (Infection
Preventionist [IP]) was qualified and competent in implementing the facilities infection control program by:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Failing to monitor Resident 16 for antibiotic (medication used to treat infection) use, side effects or
adverse reaction (unintended pharmacologic effects that occur when a medication is administered correctly
while a side effect is a secondary unwanted effect).
2. Failing to ensure Infection Control Surveillance Log (a documented record used to systematically track
and analyze healthcare-associated infections and other infectious diseases within a healthcare facility) for
Resident 19's antibiotics was completely filled in 3/2025.
These failures had the potential to increase antibiotic resistance (don't respond to a drug) from
unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order dated 1/22/2024, the Physician's Order indicated the
facility admitted Resident 16 on 1/22/2024, with diagnoses that included seizure disorder (a sudden,
uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain which can cause uncontrolled jerking, blank stares, and loss
of consciousness), traumatic brain injury (TBI- a disruption in the normal function of the brain that can be
caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head) from motor vehicle accident, and respiratory failure (occurs
when the respiratory system cannot adequately provide oxygen to the body), with tracheostomy (a
procedure to help air and oxygen reach the lungs by creating an opening into the trachea [windpipe] from
outside the neck).
During a review of Resident 16's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) dated, 3/10/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 16 was on vegetative state (a condition where someone appears awake but
lacks awareness of their surroundings, and they cannot engage in purposeful actions or communicate). The
MDS indicated Resident 16 was dependent to staff for all activities of daily living (ADL- routine
tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The
MDS indicated Resident 16 was always incontinent (unable to control) of bowel and bladder functions.
During a review of Resident 16's Physician's Order, dated 3/13/2025, timed at 6:25 a.m., the Physician's
Order indicated the following orders:
1. Zosyn (medication used to treat infection) 4.5 grams (gm- unit of measurement, used for medication
dosage and/or amount) intravenous (IV- refers to the practice of administering fluids, medications, or other
substances directly into a vein through a needle or tube) every six hours for seven days due to fever (a rise
in body temperature, typically indicated by a reading of 100.4°F or higher).
2. Vancomycin (medication used to treat infection) IV, pharmacy to dose (physicians order a specific drug or
drug class, and the pharmacist selects an appropriate dose for the individual patient).
