What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to consult with the resident's physician when there was a significant change in the resident's physical status for one (Resident #52) of five residents reviewed for notification of changes. The facility failed to notify Resident #52's physician of a significant change in condition for Resident #52, when she continued to not tolerate her bolus feedings after she was sent to the hospital for aspiration pneumonia on 01/17/22. An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 03/10/22. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 03/11/22, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and a severity level of actual harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy, due to the facility's continuation of in-servicing and monitoring the plan of removal. These failures could place residents at risk for a delay in treatment or diagnosis of new symptoms, a decline in the resident's condition, the need for hospitalization or death. Findings included: Review of Resident #52's MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected the resident was an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: aphasia (loss of ability to understand or express speech), CVA, dementia, hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), malnutrition, and other speech/language deficits following CVA. The assessment further reflected Resident #52 usually understands-misses some part/intent of message but comprehends most conversation. She required total dependence on feeding/staff perform every time during entire 7-day period. The assessment also reflected the resident had a feeding tube seven days for proper calories. Review of Resident #52's care plan reflected the she had a peg tube as was at risk for aspiration with an onset of 03/09/20. Approaches included to monitor for s/s of aspiration, fever, cough, rales/rhonchi, wheezing, and altered mental status. The approaches also included notifying the MD as needed. Review of Resident #52's Nurse Medication Administration Record dated March 2022 reflected the following: TF Isosource 1.5 calorie liquid formula bolus give two cartons (500ml) via g-tube twice daily 8A, 3A, and one carton (250ml) once a day at 11P with a start date of 01/24/22. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

At that time RN B called Resident #52's family and they asked the resident be sent out to the hospital. RN B further stated she should have tried to contact the resident's physician after she was not able to get in touch with the NP but had let ADON C know about the incident. RN B said she wrote the vomit incident in the 24 hour report for the resident to have higher calories and less volume and she thought the communication would make to dietary. She also said LVN E had continued the communication form and put an entry to reduce the volume of Resident #52 was receiving. RN B also said resident ran the risk of aspiration if they were not able to tolerate a bolus feeding. RN B had not let anyone else know the resident was not tolerating her feeding because it had only happened to her once or twice before. Interview on 03/11/22 at 8:45 AM with LVN D revealed she cared for Resident #52 and administered her bolus feedings and never had a problem giving them to her. She further stated she was not aware the resident was not tolerating the volume of her bolus feedings or she would have contacted the physician. Interview on 03/10/22 at 2:30 PM with ADON D revealed she took the position of ADON mid-January 2022. She stated she had cared for Resident #52 and administered her bolus feedings a few times and the resident was able to let staff know when she was full by putting her hand up but she never vomited or gagged during her feedings and this would occurred halfway through the second carton formula. ADON D stated she was aware Resident #52 had been sent out to the hospital in January after vomiting and she had returned with no new feeding orders. ADON D further stated the 24-hour reports were taken to the staff morning meetings and reviewed but she did not recall seeing/reading the entries of Resident #52, asking for a decreased volume due to not tolerating the feedings and does not know why they were missed but should not have been. If they would have seen the entries they would have called the doctor to let him know. Interview on 03/10/22 at 3:46 PM with the Interim DON revealed she took over as interim DON on 02/15/22 and she was not aware Resident #52 was not tolerating her bolus feedings. If Resident #52 was not tolerating her feedings, the doctor or RD should have been contacted to adjust her feedings. She further stated the 24 hour reports were taken to the morning meetings daily and the nursing staff or the ADON would review it for any changes. The Interim DON further stated risk of residents not tolerating a feeding or fluid overload could lead to weight loss, aspiration pneumonia, and weight loss.

He said if this occurrence was happening more than once would have needed to know so he could assess and adjust the feedings because there was a risk of becoming overloaded with fluid. The RD further stated risk of fluid overload could cause diarrhea and emesis and if the resident was vomiting that could lead to aspiration. He also stated if he would have been made aware of Resident #52's first incident in January 2022, when the resident was sent out to the hospital, he would have made changes at that time. Interview on 03/10/22 at 10:27 AM with the NP revealed he was made aware two days prio on 03/08/22 that Resident #52 was not tolerating two cartons of formula during her bolus feedings.

Interview on 03/09/22 at 12:00 PM with the RD revealed she was just notified today, 03/09/22, that Resident #52 was not tolerating her feedings due to fluid overload. He said if this occurrence was happening more than once, he would have needed to know so he could assess and adjust the feedings because there was a risk of becoming overloaded with fluid. The RD further stated risk of fluid overload could cause diarrhea and emesis and if the resident was vomiting that could lead to aspiration. He also stated if he would have been made aware of Resident #52's first incident in January 2022, when the resident was sent out to the hospital, he would have made changes at that time. Interview on 03/10/22 at 10:27 AM with the NP revealed he was made aware two days prior on 03/08/22 that Resident #52 was not tolerating two cartons of formula during her bolus feedings. He stated he would have expected to have been called if the resident was vomiting due to the risk of aspiration pneumonia because it the pneumonia was not treated it could be fatal. Interview on 03/10/22 at 9:33 AM with the Physician revealed he had never seen a resident receive 500 ml for one feeding. He stated he would normally suggest 250 ml to 360 ml in one feeding, but he usually left that decision to the RD. He stated he or the NP should have been called if Resident #52 was not tolerating her feeding more than once so changes could have been made to lower her fluid volume due to the risk of getting pneumonia from aspirating.

F 0880 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 maintain an infection prevention and control program designated to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable disease and infection for three (Residents #2, #16, and #66) of three residents reviewed for infection control. Residents Affected - Some MA M failed to disinfect the blood pressure cuff in between blood pressure checks for Residents #2, #16, and #66. These failures could place residents at-risk of cross contamination which could result in infections or illness. Findings included: Observation on 03/09/22 at 8:27 AM of MA M revealed she failed to disinfect the reusable blood pressure cuff with a disinfecting wipe between blood pressure readings on Residents #2, #16, and #66. Interview on 03/09/22 at 10:02 AM with MA M revealed she was aware of the requirement to disinfect the blood pressure cuff between residents, but the presence of the surveyor made her nervous. She revealed that not disinfecting equipment between residents can cause infections to be passed from one to another. Interview on 03/09/22 at 10:15 AM with the DON revealed the expectation was that staff would disinfect all reusable medical equipment between each resident use, to avois cross contamination. The DON stated staff had disinfecting wipes available to them, and they were usually stocked on the stand holding the blood pressure monitor. She revealed she completed a staff in-service training in February of 2022 on disinfection of reusable medical equipment. Review of facility in-service sign in sheet for Disinfection of Reusable Medical Resources, dated February 2022, revealed MA M had signed the sign-in sheet. Review of facility's undated policy on Disinfection of Reusable Patient Equipment revealed that all reusable medical equipment is required to be disinfected between each resident use, using EPA approved disinfectant. Review of disinfecting wipes stocked on the stand holding the blood pressure cuff revealed they are effective against SARS COVID-19, with a 1-minute dwell time, according to the Environmental Protection Agency registration number when it was checked against the EPA website.
