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.

Residents Affected - Some
Observation of Resident #52's bolus feeding on 03/08/22 at 3:00 PM given by Agency Nurse A revealed the
resident tolerated the first 250 ml carton of formula and began to tap her hand on the feeding syringe half
way through the second carton. At that time Agency Nurse A stopped the feeding and asked the resident if
she was feeling ok and Resident #52 nodded her head no. The agency nurse asked the resident if she was
feeling uncomfortable and full and the resident nodded her head yes. Resident #52 then began to grimace
and gag and appeared as though she was going to vomit. Agency Nurse A stated she was going to call the
doctor and document the incident as this was the first time working with the resident.
Review of Resident #52's nurses notes dated 01/17/22 documented by RN B revealed the following:
Late entry 01/16/22 at 16:30 [4:30 PM] while administering bolus via gtube half way through second carton
resident reached up to stop me but right as she touched me she began to vomit severely. Emesis appeared
to be all tube feeding. Continued to monitor resident frequently and noted resident covered in emesis on
her neck and chest around 9 PM. Resident continued to nod her head when asked if [NAME] as not feeling
well. RN held evening meds and 11 PM bolus due to continued vomiting and nausea.
01/17/2022 4:10 AM
RN continued making frequent round to monitor this resident due to n/v with gtube and inability to verbalize
help along with answering questions as well as before v/s: 185/108 89% on room air O2 applied at 2 lpm
via n/c Lung sounds clear to bilateral upper lobes but completely diminished through lower lobes daughter
notified and requested to have resident transferred to the ER
Review of Resident #52's hospital records revealed she was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] with the
diagnosis of pneumonia secondary to likely aspiration where she was treated with antibiotics. The resident
was discharged and transferred back to the facility on [DATE].
Review of the unsigned 24-hour report on the following dates for Resident #52 revealed:
02/06/22 - not tolerating 2 cartons of gtube bolus, becomes congested, coughs, asks you to stop. etc.
dietary referral for higher calorie, less volume feeding?
02/07/22 - not tolerating 2 cartons of gtube bolus, becomes congested, coughs, asks you to stop, etc.
dietary referral for higher calorie, less volume feeding?
02/08/22 - not tolerating 2 cartons of feeding becomes congested coughs. Dietary referral for increased
calorie decreased volume.
Interview on 03/09/22 at 1:46 PM with RN B revealed she was the nurse who sent Resident #52 to the
hospital. During her 3:00 PM bolus feeding, the resident put her hand up and told her to stop her feeding
during her second formula carton (250 ml) so she stopped. Resident #52 began to vomit right away and
there had been times the resident was not able tolerate the 2 cartons (500 ml) of formula and the resident
always let her know when she was full. After Resident #52 vomited, she cleaned her up, and she and the
aides began to monitor her more frequently and she called the NP about an hour after the incident and she
was not able to get in touch with him. She further stated she should have tried contacting the medical
director if she was not able to get in touch with the NP. Later that night around 9:00 PM, RN B found
Resident #52 with emesis again and she did not appear well and did not know long it had been since the
resident had vomited as the last time she remember checking on her

was around 8:00 PM. 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.
Interview on 03/09/22 at 12:00 PM with the RD revealed she was just notified today, 03/09/22, Resident
#52 was not tolerating her feedings due to fluid overload. 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. 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 and he would normally suggest 250 ml to 360 ml in one feeding, but he usually

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 and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who was fed by enteral
feeding received the appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications for one (Residents #52)
of five residents reviewed for tube feedings.
The facility failed to notify Resident #52's Physician and the Dietitian when she was not tolerating her 3:00
PM 500 ml bolus feeding. The resident was seen gagging during her feeding and tapping on the feeding
syringe, alerting staff to stop her feeding. Resident #52 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] with
pneumonia possibly from aspiration when she was found in vomit about five hours after her 3:00 PM bolus
feeding.
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 placed residents at risk if aspiration pneumonia due to fluid overload or even 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 she had a peg tube and 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

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.
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. She said 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. She said 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 and aspiration pneumonia.
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.
