etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, and record review the facility failed to immediately consult with the resident's physician when
there is a significant change in the resident's physical status for 1 of 4 residents (CR #1) reviewed for
notification of changes.
The facility failed to ensure CR #1's physician was consulted when he was short of breath while receiving
oxygen treatment.
This failure could place residents at risk of respiratory distress or significant decline in physical or mental
functioning.
An IJ was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 7:11 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a severity of no actual harm with
potential for more than minimal harm that was not an immediate jeopardy and a scope of pattern because
all staff had not been trained on notification of changes to the physician.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old male was admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses included: heart failure, (heart cannot pulp enough blood
and oxygen to the body's organ), morbid obesity (body mass index greater than 35 combined with other
health issues), diabetes mellites (body does not manage blood sugar properly), and atrial fibrillation
(irregular heartbeat).

Record review of CR#1 progress notes from 11/27/ 24 to [DATE] revealed there was no documentation that
CR #1 was in any distress.
Record review of CR #1 hospital discharge record printed [DATE] did not reveal any order for oxygen.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:07 p.m., RN G said CR #1 was on PRN oxygen. RN G said CR #1
would feel winded when he stood up for her during wound care and he would put his oxygen on. RN G said
she was unsure if CR #1 had an order for oxygen. RN G said oxygen should be administered with a
physician's order to ensure CR #1 received the appropriate liters of oxygen. RN G said if CR #1 did not
receive adequate oxygen, he could go into respiratory distress. RN G said nurse managers monitored the
nurses when they made random rounds.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 4:15 p.m., LVN T said CR #1 had oxygen in his room and
believed CR #1 had an order for oxygen. LVN T said CR #1 had an order for oxygen; the nurses would
document it on the NEMAR. LVN T said CR #1 must have an order before oxygen would be administered
because if CR #1 did not have an order, CR #1 may not receive the required liters of oxygen to prevent
respiratory complications such as shortness of breath or a crisis. LVN T said she had an in-service on
oxygen administration, and the nurse managers monitored the nurses during random rounds.
During an interview on [DATE] at 5:27 p.m., LVN H said she verified the admission orders with the
physician, and the physician gave an order for oxygen. LVN H was supposed to put the oxygen order in but
did not know she did not put the oxygen order in the computer, and she could not remember how many
liters of oxygen the physician prescribed for CR #1. LVN H said oxygen was a medication, and she should
have put the order in the computer. LVN H also said if CR #1 did not get the prescribed liters of oxygen, CR
#1 could have respiratory distress. LVN H said she had a skill- check off on the admission process, and the
nurse manager should have checked the paperwork the day after admission.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:58 a.m., the OT said CR#1 could walk to the restroom and shower
room, but he would need his oxygen. The OT said CR#1 kept his oxygen on with any activity, but he could
take it off for a little while during the shower.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:38 a.m., PTA said she had worked with CR #1 during therapy and he
wore an oxygen tank. She said they worked with him at his pace because of his size, he was mobility
obese. She said he wore his oxygen at all times during therapy and he runs out of breath (SOB) and she
would let him rest and continued again. She said that when the resident was able to walk to the bathroom in
his room, and they told the resident he would have to have staff with him if he wants to walk past the
bathroom in his room.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:57 a.m., the ADON said CR #1 did not have an order for oxygen from
the hospital. The ADON said the nurse managers should have done chart checks and checked the orders
to ensure CR #1's medication was correct the next day. The ADON said LVN H should have put in a PRN
order because CR #1 had oxygen, but LVN H did not transcribe the oxygen order. The ADON said CR #1
should not have oxygen on without an order. The ADON said CR #1 could go into respiratory distress if he
did not get adequate liters of oxygen, and if CR #1 got more than required, it could cause CR #1 to depend
on oxygen.
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 1:55 p.m., the State Surveyor and the MDS Nurse
reviewed CR #1's physician orders, and the MDS nurse said she did not see the order for oxygen. The

MDS nurse said CR#1 should have an order for oxygen before the nurses could administer oxygen to him.
The MDS nurse said it was a medication error because LVN H had to enter the physician's orders before
nurses could administer oxygen to CR #1. The MDS nurse said there could be a negative effect on CR #1 if
the nurse's administered oxygen to CR#1 without an order. The MDS nurse said the negative effect could
cause CR #1 to depend on oxygen or could have an adverse respiratory crisis if he did not receive the
recommended liters of oxygen. The MDS nurse said CR #1 was care planned by LVN H, not her.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:02 p.m., the Administrator said that for a resident to be on oxygen, the
resident should have an order for oxygen. The Administrator said she was sure there could be some side
effects, but she did not think it would be dangerous. The Administrator said the DON monitored the nurses
to ensure the nurses transcribed the orders correctly.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:16 PM 4: 16 p.m., the DON said CR #l 's 02 was RPN the nurse would
make the decision if the resident could take off the oxygen. The DON said the therapy dept did not tell her
that CR#1 got winded during activity even with oxygen.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at4:37 p.m., the Physician said he gave intermitter oxygen order
and he could not remember how many liters of oxygen he gave, but the nurse could titrate the liter for CR
#1 to be comfortable. He said the resident used oxygen intermittently said CR #1 refused to use oxygen
sometimes and he had experienced hypoxia and he was still comfortable. The physician said normal order
for oxygen was between 2 to 3 liters. The Physician said the nursing or therapy did not communicate to him
that CR #1 still has shortness of breath during activities even with oxygen. He said maybe the nursing staff
spoke to the NP about the resident having SOB with oxygen during activity. He said it was his
understanding that the resident was on oxygen while he was in the facility.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 4:58 p.m., the NP refused to answer questions regarding CR #1.
Record review of the facility oxygen administration dated [DATE], Revised [DATE] read in part . a resident

check-off and in-service progress for 1 to 7 days for 2 months.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:0 p.m., The Corporate Nurse said staff should report immediately when
there was any change in condition, including shortness of breath. The Corporate Nurse said she validated
the aide's competencies on [NAME]. She also said she reviewed the removal plan with the administrator,
DON, and the [NAME] President of operation.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:03 p.m., the Administrator said the Corporate Nurse trained her and the
nurse managers on [NAME] and change in condition. The Administrator said the DON would give the
names of residents on oxygen to the therapy director so that they could communicate if any of those
residents had shortness of breath to the floor nurse and the DON. The Administrator said the nurse
manager would monitor the progress of the training for the next two months.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:13 p.m., the DON said the system broke when the LVN H missed

not enter the oxygen order in the computer.
An IJ was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 7:11 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a severity of no actual harm with
potential for more than minimal harm that is not an immediate jeopardy and a scope of isolated because all
staff had not been trained on consulting the physician during a change of condition.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure each resident received adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for one (CR #1) of four residents reviewed for
accidents, hazards, and supervision.
-The facility failed to ensure CNA C followed CR#1's care plan when transferring CR#1 who required two
staff for transfers. CR#1 slide out of shower chair onto the floor and became unresponsive and later died.
-The facility failed to ensure CNA C followed CR#1's care plan when during ambulation. CR#1 ambulated
with a walker instead of wheelchair as care planned. CR#1 slide out of shower chair onto the floor and
became unresponsive and later died.
These failures can place residents at risk of injury due to not being supervised properly.
An IJ was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to the facility Administrator on [DATE] at 7:11
p.m. While the facility Administrator was informed that the IJ was removed on [DATE] at 2:58 PM, the facility
remained out of compliance at a severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that
is not an immediate jeopardy and a scope of isolated because all staff trained on how to pull up resident's
care information from the [NAME], notifying the nurse regarding resident care and change in condition.
Findings included:
Record review of CR #1's face sheet dated [DATE]revealed a [AGE] year-old male was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. CR #1 had diagnoses included: heart failure (heart cannot pulp enough blood and
oxygen to the body's organ), morbid obesity (body mass index greater than 35 combined with other health

out of 15 which indicated intact cognition. Further review revealed CR #1 needed moderate assistance with
mobility.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated [DATE] revealed CR#1 revealed resident had a self-care
deficit. Interventions: mobility: I use a wheelchair, transfer: gait belt X2 team member CR#1 resident was at
risk for shortness of breath. Intervention: alert my nurse for concentrator and/oxygen tank needs to be

During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 4:15 p.m., LVN T said CNA C called her to the shower room, he
saw CR #1 was lying on his back, and CR #1 told him to call the fire department to come and pick him up
off the floor. LVN T said he told CNA C to call LVN M, and he went across the hall and brought CR #1's
concentrator into the shower room and applied the oxygen to CR #1. LVN T said CR #1 was unresponsive,
and his lips and fingertips were blue. LVN T said he could get CR #1's pulse at first, and it was 92, and then

During an interview on [DATE] at 4:37 p.m., CNA C said the day CR #1 fell in the shower room was her first
time working with him. CNA C said she did not know how CR#1 ambulated or transferred, and she asked
CR #1, and he said he walked with a walker. CNA C said CR #1 got up from the bed, took off his oxygen,
and walked with his walker to the shower room from his room. CNA C said when CR#1 walked past the
door, from the hallway to the shower room to the door in the shower room before the shower stall. CR #1
asked her to turn the shower chair to face him, while she went to turn the shower chair, CR #1 started to
slide down and fell before, she could get to him. CNA C said CR #1 fell on his bottom, but he did not hit his
head on floor. CNA C said she told CR #1 not to move because she was going to call LVN T. CNA C said
she went and called LVN T, and both came back to the bathroom, and CR #1 was still sitting on his
buttocks. Then, CNA C said that when she came back with LVN T, CR #1 asked LVN T to go and get his
oxygen because he was short of breath. Then LVN T told her to call LVN M. CNA C said some minutes
later, CR #1 became unresponsive. CNA C said she would not have ambulated CR #1 with a walker if she
knew he was supposed to ambulate with a wheelchair or tried to transfer him by herself to the shower chair
if she knew CR #1 was supposed to be transferred by two staff and a gait belt. CNA C said CR #1 would
not have fallen if two staff had assisted with the transfer. CNA C said she did not know where to check for
how many staff needed to provide care for CR #1. CNA C did not respond when asked about the [NAME] or
asking a nurse about care needs for CR#1
During a telephone interview on 01//02/25 at 9:21 a.m., LVN M said CNA C told him to go to the shower
room, and when he got to the shower room, CR #1 was lying on his back on the floor, and he was still alive.
LVN T went to the CR#1's room, brought the oxygen concentrator to the shower room, and applied the
oxygen to CR #1, but CR #1 became unresponsive. LVN M said he called EMS, and a CODE was called.
LVN M said other nurses came with a crash cart, and CPR was started. EMS came and took over CPR, but
CR #1 expired. LVN M said CNA C should talk to the nurse or look through the [NAME] to find out how CR
#1 should be transferred or ambulate. If it was recommended for two staff, then two staff should have
transferred CR #1, and maybe CR #1 would not have fallen. CR #1 said the nurse monitored the aides
when the nurse made rounds, and the ADON monitored the nurses during random rounds.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:58 a.m., the OT said CR#1 could walk to the restroom and shower
room, but he would need his oxygen. The OT said CR#1 kept his oxygen on with any activity, but he could
take it off for a little while during the shower. The OT said CR #1 was a fall risk and should ambulate with a
wheelchair and be assisted by staff when he ambulates with a walker. The OT said she did not tell the
nursing staff to make any changes to CR #1's care plan.
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:57 a.m., the ADON said CR #1 should be transferred by two staff and
a gait belt because he weighed 554 LB. The ADON said CR #1 could have fallen and been injured if one
staff member had transferred the resident. ADON said, one of the nurses called a code blue after the
resident fell in the shower room and became unresponsive, but the staff and EMS could not revive CR #1,
and he expired. The ADON and the therapist (OT), were responsible for telling the aides how many staff
members were needed for transfer. The ADON said the charge nurse monitors the aides and staffing
coordinator, and everybody monitors nurses because nursing was a revolving door. The ADON said CNA C
should check the [NAME](a system nurses use to access resident care information) to see how CR #1
should be transferred if she had not previously worked with CR #1 or ask the nurse how to care for CR #1.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:31 p.m., the MDS nurse said any change in CR #1's condition would be
changed in the care plan and during the quarterly assessment. The MDS nurse said the floor nurse and the
DON initiated the care plan for CR#1 upon admission, and when there was a change, she would change
the care plan. The MDS nurse said she had not changed CR #1's care plan. The MDS nurse said

the therapist (OT), or nursing had not notified her that there were any changes in mobility and transfer for
CR#1. The MDS nurse said if CNA C assisted CR #1 from walking to a shower chair, then it was an
assisted transfer, and if CR #1 was supposed to be assisted by two staff, then two staff should have
assisted. MDS nurse said if CR #1 was not transferred according to the plan of care, the resident could fall

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident who needed respiratory care and
services, including oxygen administration was provided such care, consistent with professional standards of
practice for 1 of 4 residents (CR #1) reviewed for respiratory therapy.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure CR #1 was provided with repiratory services to meet his needs. CR #1
ambulated with a walker approximately 30 feet without oxygen, slid out of a shower chair onto the floor and
became unresponsive and later died.
The facility failed to ensure CR #1 who was admitted with a verbal order for oxygen administration was
documented, verified, and communicated to staff for proper implementation.
This failure could place residents at risk of respiratory distress or dependency.
An IJ was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 7:11 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a severity of no actual harm with
potential for more than minimal harm that was not an immediate jeopardy and a scope of pattern because
all staff had not been trained on the process of medication reconciliation from the discharged facility with
the physician during admission. The admitting nurse would enter the orders in PCC, and the nurse manager
would conduct chart audits to validate accurate orders were entered into the computer using the discharge
summary in collaboration with the admitting physician in the community. All staff trained on how to pull up
residents care information from the Kardex, and change in condition.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old male was admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses included: heart failure, (heart cannot pulp enough blood
and oxygen to the body's organ), morbid obesity (body mass index greater than 35 combined with other
health issues), diabetes mellites (body does not manage blood sugar properly), and atrial fibrillation
(irregular heartbeat).
Record review of CR#1's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1 had a BIMS
score of 15 out of 15 which indicated intact cognition. Further review revealed Resident #1 needed
moderate assistance with mobility.
Record review of CR#1's care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1 resident was at risk for shortness of
breath. Intervention: alert my nurse for concentrator and/oxygen tank needs to be changed, provide oxygen
as ordered by physician.
Record review of CR#1's order summary report did not reveal that the resident had an order for oxygen
administration.
Record review of CR#1's NEMAR for [DATE] revealed there was no order found for Respiratory(oxygen).
Record review of CR#1 progress notes from 11/27/ 24 to [DATE] revealed there was no documentation that
CR #1 was in any distress.

would feel winded when he stood up for her during wound care and he would put his oxygen on. RN G said
she was unsure if CR #1 had an order for oxygen. RN G said oxygen should be administered with a
physician's order to ensure CR #1 received the appropriate liters of oxygen. RN G said if CR #1 did not
receive adequate oxygen, he could go into respiratory distress. RN G said nurse managers monitored the
nurses when they made random rounds.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:45 p.m., the DON reviewed the discharge report from the hospital with
the State Surveyor, and the DON said there was no oxygen order from the discharge summary hospital

believed CR #1 had an order for oxygen. LVN T said CR #1 had an order for oxygen; the nurses would

respiratory complications such as shortness of breath or a crisis. LVN T said she had an in-service on
oxygen administration, and the nurse managers monitored the nurses during random rounds.

did not know she did not put the oxygen order in the computer, and she could not remember how many
liters of oxygen the physician prescribed for CR #1. LVN H said oxygen was a medication, and she should
have put the order in the computer. LVN H also said if CR #1 did not get the prescribed liters of oxygen, CR
#1 could have respiratory distress. LVN H said she had a skill- check off on the admission process, and the
nurse manager should have checked the paperwork the day after admission.
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:58 a.m., the OT said CR#1 could walk to the restroom and shower
room, but he would need his oxygen. The OT said CR#1 kept his oxygen on with any activity, but he could

During an interview on [DATE] at 10:38 a.m., PTA said she had worked with CR #1 during therapy and he
wore an oxygen tank. She said they worked with him at his pace because of his size, he was mobility
obese. She said he wore his oxygen at all times during therapy and he runs out of breath (SOB) and she
would let him rest and continued again. She said that when the resident was able to walk to the bathroom in
his room, and they told the resident he would have to have staff with him if he wants to walk past the
bathroom in his room.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on [DATE] at 10:57 a.m., the ADON said CR #1 did not have an order for oxygen from
the hospital. The ADON said the nurse managers should have done chart checks and checked the orders
to ensure CR #1's medication was correct the next day. The ADON said LVN H should have put in a PRN
order because CR #1 had oxygen, but LVN H did not transcribe the oxygen order. The ADON said CR #1
should not have oxygen on without an order. The ADON said CR #1 could go into respiratory distress if he
did not get adequate liters of oxygen, and if CR #1 got more than required, it could cause CR #1 to depend
on oxygen.
During an observation and interview on [DATE] at 1:55 p.m., the State Surveyor and the MDS Nurse
reviewed CR #1's physician orders, and the MDS nurse said she did not see the order for oxygen. The MDS
nurse said CR#1 should have an order for oxygen before the nurses could administer oxygen to him. The
MDS nurse said it was a medication error because LVN H had to enter the physician's orders before nurses
could administer oxygen to CR #1. The MDS nurse said there could be a negative effect on CR #1 if the
nurse's administered oxygen to CR#1 without an order. The MDS nurse said the negative effect could
cause CR #1 to depend on oxygen or could have an adverse respiratory crisis if he did not receive the
recommended liters of oxygen. The MDS nurse said CR #1 was care planned by LVN H, not her.
During an interview on [DATE] at 3:02 p.m., the Administrator said that for a resident to be on oxygen, the
resident should have an order for oxygen. The Administrator said she was sure there could be some side
effects, but she did not think it would be dangerous. The Administrator said the DON monitored the nurses
to ensure the nurses transcribed the orders correctly.
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:16 PM 4: 16 p.m., the DON said CR #l 's 02 was RPN the nurse would
make the decision if the resident could take off the oxygen. The DON said the therapy dept did not tell her
that CR#1 got winded during activity even with oxygen.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at4:37 p.m., the Physician said he gave intermitter oxygen order
and he could not remember how many liters of oxygen he gave, but the nurse could titrate the liter for CR
#1 to be comfortable. He said the resident used oxygen intermittently said CR #1 refused to use oxygen
sometimes and he had experienced hypoxia and he was still comfortable. The physician said normal order
for oxygen was between 2 to 3 liters. The Physician said the nursing or therapy did not communicate to him
that CR #1 still has shortness of breath during activities even with oxygen.

The DON said she had training from the corporate nurse on change in condition, oxygen, admission
process, and the physical therapy director would come to the meetings. The DON said she would monitor
the skills check-off and in-service progress for 1 to 7 days for 2 months.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:0 p.m., the Corporate Nurse said she conducted an in-service for the
nurse managers, which included the administrator on verification of new resident medication with the
physician, and any new order given by the physician would be entered into the computer by the admitting
nurse. The Corporate Nurse said the nurse manager would verify the orders in the computer, cross-check
them with the admitting orders, and verify from the nurse whether the physician gave an additional order on
admission and if the nurse entered the order in the computer. The Corporate Nurse said residents on
oxygen were transferred with portable oxygen when they were not in the room. The Corporate Nurse said
staff should report immediately when there was any change in condition, including shortness of breath. The
Corporate Nurse said she validated the aide's competencies on Kardex. She also said she reviewed the
removal plan with the administrator, DON, and the [NAME] President of operation.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:03 p.m., the Administrator said the Corporate Nurse trained her and the
nurse managers on verification of order from the discharged summary report from the transferring facility.
The Administrator said the admitting nurse should verify the order with the physician upon admission and
enter the order accurately into the computer. She also said if the nurse received any order, such as an
oxygen order, the nurse should enter the order accurately in the computer. The Administrator said the next
nurse would also check the order, and the ADON would do a chart check and ensure the admitting nurse
entered all the orders correctly into the computer. The Administrator said she was also trained on Kardex
and change in condition. The Administrator said the DON would give the names of residents on oxygen to
the therapy director so that they could communicate if any of those residents had shortness of breath to the
floor nurse and the DON. The Administrator said the nurse manager would monitor the progress of the
training for the next two months.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:10 p.m., the Administrator said the error in the system happened when
the physician gave an oxygen order for CR #1 and LVN H did not put the order in the computer. The
Administrator said that ADON J did not completely check the chart because she did not realize CR #1 was
supposed to be on oxygen.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:13 p.m., the DON said the system broke when the LVN H missed
entering the oxygen order in the computer, and ADON J, who did the chart check, did not realize LVN H did
not enter the oxygen order in the computer.
An IJ was identified on [DATE]. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 7:11 p.m. While the
IJ was removed on [DATE], the facility remained out of compliance at a severity of no actual harm with

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
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure a therapeutic diet was prescribed by the attending
physician for one of 5 residents (CR #1) reviewed for food and nutrition services.
The facility failed to ensure CR#1's diet order was transcribed and administered as ordered by the
physician for a cardiac (2 GM sodium, low fat, low cholesterol) diet.
This failure put residents at risk for health complications related to nonadherence to diet order.
Findings included:
Record review of CR#1's face sheet dated 12/07/24revealed a [AGE] year-old male was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. CR#1 had diagnoses included: heart failure, (heart cannot pulp enough blood and
oxygen to the body's organ), morbid obesity (body mass index greater than 35 combined with other health
issues) diabetes mellites (body does not manage blood sugar properly), and atrial fibrillation (irregular
heartbeat).
Record review of CR #1's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed CR #1 had BIMS score of 15
out of 15 which indicated intact cognition. Further review revealed CR #1 needed moderate assistance with
mobility.
Record review of CR #1's care plan dated 11/28/24 revealed CR #1 resident was at risk for shortness of
breath. Intervention: alert my nurse for concentrator and/oxygen tank needs to be changed, provide oxygen
as ordered by physician, further review revealed resident had a self-care deficit. Interventions: mobility: I
use a wheelchair, transfer: gait belt X2 team member. It also revealed admission/readmission care plan: I
may be at risk for nutritional/hydration concerns. Interventions: nutrition/hydration within prescribed diet.
Record review of CR #1's order summary report dated December 2024 read in part . regular diet texture,
thin/regular related to acute on chronic heart failure .
Record review of diet order on the communication slip dated 11/27/24 revealed no added salt, cardiac with
regular texture.
Record review of CR#1's discharge summary report from the hospital dated 11/27/24 read diet instructions:
cardiac (2 GM sodium, low fat, low cholesterol) diet texture: regular.
During an interview on 12/07/24 at 1:40 p.m., the DON said CR #1 was on a regular diet, and she spoke to
the Dietary manager. The DON said she transcribed the order in the kitchen computer as regular because
that was what she saw in CR #1's order. The DON said LVN H wrote the diet order on the communication
slip and could not remember if she had clarified the order with the physician. The DON said LVN H wrote no
sodium, cardiac diet, and regular texture from the discharge summary report from the hospital. The DON
said the Dietary Manager should have verified the order with her since she had a diet communication slip
that read cardiac, no sodium, cardiac diet. The DON said she would have verified with CR #1 physician.

During an interview on 12/07/24 at 5:27 p.m., LVN H said she wrote on CR #1 the diet communication slip:
No sodium cardiac diet with regular texture. LVN H said she sent the communication slip to the kitchen but
transcribed it incorrectly in the computer because she input a regular diet. LVN H said if CR #1 was not
provided with the cardiac diet, it could cause CR #1's health condition to worsen. LVN H said she had a skill
check-off on the new admission process, and the nurse managers should have checked the new admission
paperwork the day after admission.
During an interview on 01/02/24 at 10:57 a.m., the ADON said LVN H did not transcribe the correct order in
the computer for CR #1. The ADON said CR #1 was given the wrong diet until he expired in the facility. The
ADON said administering a different diet from what the physician said could cause life-threatening
emergencies or death for CR #1. The ADON said LVN H, who admitted CR #1, should have verified the
order with the physician and entered the correct order in the computer. Then, the nurse managers should
have verified the CR #1's the next day, but the mistake was not caught in time. The ADON said she was not
sure if the nursing staff were provided any in-service on the admission process after this incident, but the
nursing staff was provided an in-service on the admission process before the incident.
During an interview on 01/02/25 at 1:05 p.m., the Dietary Manager said nursing staff would write a diet
communication form and send it to the kitchen. The Dietary Manager said she would cross-check the order
on the slip with the physician's order on the computer. The Dietary Manager said she input a regular diet for
the meal ticket because the physician's order on the computer was regular. The Dietary Manager said she
could not remember what the diet communication read. The Dietary Manager said a regular diet could
affect CR #1's medical health because he was not provided with a 2gm sodium cardiac diet. The Dietary
Manager said she made a mistake, but now she takes the meal communication slip to the morning meeting
and checks the order with the DON. The Dietary Manager said, if there were any differences, then the DON
would call the physician for clarification.
During an interview on 01/02/24 at 2:58 p.m., the Administrator said LVN H should have gone through the
discharge order from the hospital for CR #1, written the diet order on the communication sheet, and given
the slip to the kitchen. The Administrator said the Dietary Manager should also check the order on the
computer. The Administrator said the dietary manager should have consulted with the nursing staff to see if
