**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needed respiratory
care, including tracheostomy care, was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of
practice for one (Resident #42) of one resident reviewed for tracheostomy care.
Residents Affected - Few
LVN E failed to provide daily tracheostomy (a surgical opening in the neck providing a direct airway through
the trachea) care to Resident #42 on 08/13/22.
LVN E failed to follow the procedure for tracheostomy care for Resident #42 on 08/14/22 when he failed to
maintain a sterile/clean field for supplies necessary for care; failed to clean to the stoma site with only
normal saline and failed to change his gloves and perform hand hygiene before applying a clean trach
drainage sponge.
These failures could place residents at risk for respiratory infections and skin irritation.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #42's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 07/12/22, reflected the resident was a [AGE]
year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. She was severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS of 7.
Her active diagnoses included chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (absence of oxygen), and
tracheostomy status and traumatic brain injury. In Section O-Special Treatments, Procedures, and
Programs it revealed she required tracheostomy (trach) care during the 14 days look back period.

documented on 08/13/22 that tracheostomy care and tie changes had been completed on 08/13/22
(Saturday).
In an observation and interview with Resident #42 on 08/14/22 at 10:10 a.m. revealed the resident had a
single lumen trach (no inner canula) that was uncapped. The tracheostomy stoma dressing was curled up,
initially the date could not be seen. Resident #42 stated the staff was supposed to be changing the
dressing every day but that was not happening, and it was causing her neck to itch. She also stated she
was supposed to have a cap on the end of the trach tube, but it kept popping off and no one had [NAME]
her a replacement cap. Resident #42 reached up and uncurled the dressing, revealing a date of 08/12/22.
She stated she was waiting for the facility to get her scheduled to have the trach removed. She stated she
was not having any difficulty in breathing, eating, or speaking.
An observation on 08/14/22 at 1:15 p.m. revealed LVN E entered Resident #42's room. He washed his
hands and put on gloves and lifted the edges of the tracheostomy dressing. Resident #42 told him it was
supposed to be changed every day and stated it had not been changed. LVN E removed his gloves and told
the resident he would be back and left the room.
An observation on 08/14/22 at 1:30 p.m. revealed LVN E and RN D entered Resident #42's room to provide
tracheostomy care. LVN E placed the unopened tracheostomy kit on the resident's bedside table without
cleaning the table. Both staff washed their hands and put on clean gloves. LVNE E opened the
tracheostomy care kit (holds sterile supplies for cleaning tracheostomy) and removed the sterile drape
(used to create a sterile field for tracheostomy cleaning supplies) and placed it on the resident's chest. LVN
E then removed the sterile gauze (while wearing non-sterile gloves) and placed them on the sterile drape,
along with the package containing the stoma drainage pad and the package containing a pair of sterile
gloves. LVN E then removed the bottle of sterile normal saline and poured it into the container in the
tracheostomy kit and picked up the sterile gauze and placed it in the basin with the normal saline. LVN E
then removed the old tracheostomy drainage pad from the around the resident's tracheostomy revealing a
small amount of brownish colored drainage. LVN E discarded the draining pad in the trash can and
removed his gloves and washed his hands. LVN E then put on clean gloves and reached back into the
tracheostomy kit and opened the package of hydrogen peroxide and poured it on the saline soaked gauze
in the tracheostomy kit tray. LVN E then removed his gloves and without performing hand hygiene opened
the package containing the sterile gloves and put them on. LVN E then picked up the peroxide/normal
saline soaked gauze and cleaned around the stoma area. LVN E then opened the package of trach ties and
proceeded to remove the old trach ties. LVN E removed the old trach ties with the assistance of RN D. Both
staff replaced the trach ties. LVN E then picked up the stoma drainage sponge and placed it around the
tracheostomy tube while wearing the same gloves. LVN E them removed his gloves and dated the dressing
for 08/14/22.
In an interview with LVN E on 08/14/22 at 1:50 p.m. he stated he worked double weekends. He stated he
did not normally change the tracheostomy dressing; he just assessed the tracheostomy site on 08/13/22.
When asked what tracheostomy care meant to him, he stated he thought he was just supposed to assess
the site and that the dressing was changed by the wound care nurse or the Respiratory Therapist. He
stated he found out today, he was responsible for the tracheostomy dressing changes. He stated it had
been over 4 months since he had tracheostomy care training. He stated he thought he had done everything
right and stated he knew it was supposed to be as sterile a procedure as possible to prevent infections.
In an interview with RN D on 08/14/22 at 1:55 p.m. revealed she was in orientation and had been assigned
with LVN E. She stated it was her understanding that any tracheostomy dressing change was

considered a sterile procedure. She stated they did not have enough sterile gloves for the procedure and
the sterile field was not maintained. She stated it was not appropriate to place a sterile field on top of the
resident. She stated the stoma site was only to be cleaned with normal saline. She stated the peroxide in
the kit was for cleaning an inner cannula, which Resident #42 did not have.
Review of LVN E's Competency checks for tracheostomy care reflected he was skills checked on 05/09/22
by RN C and deemed competent in trach care.
In an interview with RT F on 08/14/22 at 2:20 p.m. revealed he worked on as needed basis for the facility.
He stated he comes once or twice a week depending on how many trach patients the facility had. He stated
he also does tracheostomy care training for the facility but stated it had been over 5 months since he had
done any training with the staff. He stated Resident #42 had a single lumen (channel) trach. He stated the
only care needed with this type of trach would be the stoma site care and cleaning the exterior of the trach
with normal saline and changing the trach ties once a week unless they got soiled and needed to be
changed more often. He stated any trach care needed to be with as much sterile technique as possible due
to the risk of infections. He stated peroxide would not be used for cleaning the stoma site. He stated it was
only used to clean an inner cannula and then it would be rinsed with normal saline before re-instilling into
the trach.
In an interview with ADON B, acting interim DON on 08/16/22 at 10:45 a.m. revealed staff are to assess
residents before providing trach care and look for any signs and symptoms of infection. He stated it is the
responsibility of the nurse assigned to the resident to perform the trach care, not the wound care nurse. He
stated trach care is considered a sterile technique due to the risk of introducing containments into the
trachea. He stated the sterile drape is not to be placed on the chest but on the table to create a sterile field
and the table should be cleaned prior to placing the supplies on it. He stated only normal saline is used to
clean the stoma site and outside of the trach tube. He stated using peroxide to clean the stoma site could
cause skin irritation. He stated the nurse should have changed his gloves and performed hand hygiene
after replacing the trach ties and before replacing the trach drainage sponge. He stated failure to follow the
correct procedures could lead to infections.
In an interview with the Corporate Nurse on 08/16/22 at 11:00 a.m. he stated corporate had reviewed the
order options in the electronic records and had added more descriptive selections that were more patient
specific related to the types of tracheostomy care a patient required. He stated they had also begun in
servicing nursing staff on trach care procedures and going forward the ADON/Unit managers would be
doing regular skills checks. He stated the ADON would be responsible for monitoring all new trach orders
going forward.
Review of the facility's policy, Trach Care Skills Checklist dated October 2021, reflected, .Check MD order
.Gather Supplies .Assemble equipment and prepare dressing tray per procedure, placing trach sponge,
Q-Tips, and trach brush on sterile/clean filed .Put on clean gloves .remove inner cannula .Immerse cannula
in hydrogen peroxide. If single use discard and replace with new cannula .Remove used trach sponge and
assess site. Discard sponge appropriately .Clean trach site with sterile/clean Q tips and normal saline. Use
single swipe and move from stoma outward .Dry stoma with sterile/clean 2x2 or 4x4 .Change trach ties
according to policy .Remove clean gloves and discard appropriately .Use Sterile technique: Use trach brush
to clean the inside of the inner cannula and remove secretions .Apply new trach sponge .Document care
given including assessment of secretions, dressing and stoma, as well as patient response

Ensure therapeutic diets are prescribed by the attending physician and may be delegated to a registered or
licensed dietitian, to the extent allowed by State law.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the physician prescribed therapeutic
diet for 1 of 15 residents (Resident #4) whose diets were reviewed for therapeutic diets, in that:
The facility failed to provide Resident #4 a therapeutic diet as ordered by the physician.
This failure could place residents on a therapeutic diet at risk for not having their nutritional needs met.
Findings included:
Record review of the undated face sheet for Resident #4 revealed a [AGE] year-old woman with an
admission date of 06/07/21 and diagnoses to include: heart failure (a chronic condition in which the heart
doesn't pump blood as well as it should), end stage renal disease (the kidney's cease functioning on a
permanent basis leading to the need for a regular course of long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant to
maintain life), dependence on renal dialysis (purifying the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working
normally), anemia in chronic kidney disease (condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells or of
hemoglobin in the blood), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body
processes blood sugar), vitamin deficiency (a deficiency of one or more essential vitamins), and moderate
protein-calorie malnutrition (nutritional status in which reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in
body composition and function).
Record review of the MDS for Resident #4, dated 06/01/22, revealed a BIMS of 13 which indicated she was
cognitively intact. The MDS also revealed a triggered care area of nutritional status.
Record review of the undated care plan for Resident #4 revealed a problem of, [Resident #4] is at risk for
unintended weight loss related to ESRD/Dialysis, therapeutic diet, vitamin deficiencies, history of skin
integrity impairment and complex morbidities, with a goal of, [Resident #4] will be without s/sx malnutrition
through review period, and an intervention of, diet as ordered.
Record review of the Physician's Order for Resident #4, dated 06/16/21, revealed a diet order of regular,
low concentrated sweets, no salt on tray, cut meat into bite-sized pieces, and large portions.
Record review of the Nutrition Assessment Update by the Registered Dietitian for Resident #4, dated
05/24/22, revealed a diet prescription of regular, low concentrated sweets, no salt on tray, large portions
and cut meat into bite-sized pieces with a daily bedtime snack.

Observation on 08/15/22 at 12:17 p.m. revealed in the kitchen during meal service Resident #4's tray ticket
did not specify large portions. The resident's lunch tray was prepared with a regular portion size of the
menu items which consisted of 4 oz. beef, ½ cup rice, ½ cup vegetables and ½ cup
dessert.
Interview on 08/15/22 at 12:28 p.m., the Registered Dietitian stated Resident #4's meal tray ticket used to
specify large portions and she was not sure why it no longer did. The Registered Dietitian stated it was
possible when Resident #4 readmitted in May 2022 after being in the hospital, the diet order may have
fallen through the cracks. The Registered Dietitian stated she was going to specify large portions on the
meal tray ticket immediately. She stated the risk to Resident #4 was potential weight loss.
Interview on 08/15/22 at 1:02 p.m., LVN A stated Resident #4 would ask for seconds, sometimes
sandwiches, or extra cereal. LVN A stated when Resident #4 requested more food, they got something for
her.
Record review of the facility's Physician Orders Policy, dated February 2010, revealed, Orders to be carried
out as stated by physician.
Record review of [NAME] Y, [NAME] Q. Protein Nutrition and Malnutrition in CKD and ESRD. Nutrients.
2017 [DATE];9(3):208 revealed, Multiple studies have shown that in patients with CKD (chronic kidney
disease) and ESRD (end stage renal disease), their resting energy expenditure is increased compared to
non-CKD individuals. Inflammatory state and co-morbidities associated with CKD and ESRD such as
cardiovascular disease, poorly controlled diabetes, and hyperparathyroidism can all contribute to the
increased resting energy expenditure. Resting energy expenditure is shown to increase from 12% to 20%
during dialysis. Thus, patients with renal failure require a higher amount of energy intake than healthy
individuals. CKD and ESRD patients are, thus, susceptible to insufficient energy intake.

Program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the
development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for three (Resident #42, Resident
# 11, and Resident #27) of five residents observed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. LVN E failed to follow the procedure for tracheostomy care for Resident #42 on 08/14/22 when he failed
to maintain a sterile/clean field for the supplies needed to provide trach care and failed to change his gloves
and perform hand hygiene before applying a clean trach drainage sponge.
2. LVN E failed to prevent cross contamination of the bottle of testing strips used to obtain a fingerstick
blood sugar on Resident's #27, failed to adequately sanitize the bottle of testing strips and failed to perform
hand hygiene prior to administration of insulin.
3. LVN F failed to prevent cross contamination of the bottle of testing strips used to obtain a fingerstick

An observation on 08/14/22 at 11:55 a.m. revealed Agency LVN F at the medication cart preparing to
perform Resident #11's fingers stick blood sugar (FSBS). Agency LVN F removed two glucometers and a
bottle of testing strips from the medication cart and wiped down the glucometers with a 3x3 germicidal
wipe. Agency LVN E performed hand hygiene, donned gloves and entered the resident's room to perform
the FSBS, carrying the glucometers, an alcohol wipe, a lancet, and the bottle of testing strips. Agency LVN
F opened the bottle of testing strips, pulled one strip out of the bottle and placed the strip into the
glucometer. Agency LVN F then pricked Resident #11's finger and obtained a blood sample for FSBS.
Agency LVN F returned to the medication cart, removed the test strip, disposed of it and the lancet, and
placed the glucometers and the bottle of testing strips on a paper towel on top of the medication cart. LVN
E removed her gloves and performed hand hygiene and opened a single package of a germicidal wipe
which contained a 3x3 pre-moistened wipe and wiped the edges of both glucometers and the bottom of the
bottle test strips with the same wipe and laid them both back down on top of a paper towel. The bottle of
strips was not completely wiped down with the germicidal wipe.
In an interview with LVN F 08/14/22 at 12:05 p.m. she stated she should not have carried the full bottle of
test strips into the room and that by doing so she had contaminated the bottle of strips. She stated she
does not normally do that and realized after she got in the room, she had carried the bottle of strips in with
her. She stated she should have used a separate wipe for each glucometer and the bottle of strips, and by
not doing that she had just spread germs from one item to the other. She stated she knew this failure could
have the potential for cross contamination from one resident to the next.
Interview with the ADON B acting interim DON on 08/16/22 at 10:50 a.m. revealed staff are not to carry in
the full bottle of test strips into a resident's room for FSBS. He stated by doing so, they had contaminated
the entire bottle of test strips since it is used for multiple patients. He stated staff should be using one
germicidal wipe per item to be cleaned. He stated it may take multiple wipes to effectively clean the
glucometer since the individual wipes are so small. He stated they should never use the same wipe for
multiple devices or items to be sanitized. He stated staff were to always perform and hygiene before and
after donning and doffing gloves. He stated failure to follow the correct procedures could lead to infections
and cross contamination.
