F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. 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 conduct initially and periodically a comprehensive, accurate, standardized reproducible assessment of each resident's functional capacity for 3 of 15 residents reviewed (Resident #13, #20, & #38 ) reviewed for comprehensive assessments and timing. Residents Affected - Some 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #13's most recent comprehensive MDS assessment accurately reflected her functional limitation of upper extremities and her oral cavity. 2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #20's most recent comprehensive MDS accurately reflected her mental condition. 3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #38's most recent comprehensive MDS accurately reflected his oral cavity. These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving the proper care required to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The findings include: 1 Review of Resident #13's face Sheet, dated 12/01/22, revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: sepsis (infection) respiratory failure, depression, tracheotomy status (tracheotomy is often needed when health problems require long-term use of a machine (ventilator) to help you breathe). and hypertension. Review of Resident #13's Annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed section G0400 functional limitation in range of motion upper extremities (A) was assessed as 0 indicating no limitation. The Record review of MDS Section L reflected on oral denture status was coded as none of the above indicating she had all her natural teeth. Review of MDS section G functional status was coded as total assistance on bed mobility and transfer. Observation on 11/29/22 at 10:00 AM, revealed Resident #13 was in bed, not interviewable.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 residents who are fed by enteral means and received the appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #13) reviewed for gastrostomy tube management. - LVN B failed to follow Resident #13's physicians orders and facility policy by dissolving medication for administration in 20-30 ml of water instead of 5 ml. - LVN B failed to check for placement prior to use of Resident #13's gastrostomy tube (G-tube, a tube inserted through the belly that brings nutrition directly to the stomach) by injecting 30 ml of water by syringe instead of air and failing to listen for bowel sounds. - LVN B failed to flush Resident #13's G-tube correctly by injecting 30 ml of water by force using a syringe instead of allowing the water to flow by gravity. - LVN B failed for follow Resident #13's physicians orders and facility policy by flushing with 30 ml of water between each medication instead of 5- 10 ml. These failures could place residents who have a g-tube, at risk for adverse reactions, inadequate therapy, and a decreased quality of life. Findings Include: Record review of Resident #13's face sheet dated 12/01/22 revealed,. a 70-yearr-old female admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included: gastrostomy status, hypertension, and tracheostomy (a surgical hole made through the neck into the windpipe to assist in breathing). Hypotension was not listed as one of Resident 13's diagnoses. Record review of Resident #13's Annual MDS dated [DATE] revealed, moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making, total dependence on most ADLs, always incontinent of bladder and ostomy status. Record review of Resident #13's undated care plan revealed, focus- resident requires tube feeding related to swallowing problem; interventions- check for tube placement and gastric contents/residual volume per facility protocol. Record review of Resident #13's Physician's Order dated 03/25/22 revealed, flush tube with 30 cc before and after meds and give 5-10 ml of water between each medication.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few returning the residual (the volume of fluid remaining in the stomach) into the resident's G-tube. LVN B removed the plunger and administered the suspended medications with a 30 ml flush between each medication. In an interview on 12/01/22 at 11:25 AM, the ADON said that prior to administering medication via g-tube nursing staff must first verify the G-tube flush orders as well as the medications. She said medication should be suspended in just enough water to dissolve the medication, no more than 10 ml. LVN B should not have used 20-30 ml because administering too much water could lead to fluid overload in Resident #13. The ADON said once the medication has been prepared, nursing staff must then check for placement through auscultation (listening to sounds with a stethoscope, by injecting are into the resident's stomach while listening for bowel sounds. She said she would not have used injected water without auscultation/checking placement or use force to inject water into a resident's G-tube because, failing to check for placement prior to G-tube use could result in the injected substance entering into cavities outside of the stomach, and pushing water via the syringe could result in damage to the resident's G-tube. The ADON said failure to check for placement and flush G-tubes correctly could place resident's at risk for injury. In an interview on 12/01/22 at 11:32 AM, LVN B said crushed medication for administered via G-tube should first be dissolved in 15-20 ml of water and a flush of 10-15 ml of water should be performed between each medication during administration. She said she used 20-30 ml of water to dissolve the medications and performed a 30 ml flush in between each of Resident #'13's medication due to her miscalculation and that the use of too much fluid during medication administration could result in fluid overload in the resident. LVN B said prior to administering medication via G-tube nursing staff are expected to check for placement by injecting 10 cc of air into the tube while listening for bowel sounds and she didn't know why water could not be used. She said she did not know why she pushed 30 ml of water by force through the syringe and pulled the residual prior to medication administration to Resident #13. LVN B said failure to check for placement prior to medication administration could result in the contents of the syringe not going into the stomach and instead leaking into the surrounding area resulting in adverse reactions. LVN B said she did not know water could not be pushed by force through a syringe during G-tube administration. Interview on 12/01/22 at 12:10 PM ADON stated there was no specific policy for checking placement/residual for a resident G-tube. Record review of the facility policy dated 04/20 revealed,3- Enteral tubes are flushed with at least 5 ml of water before administering medications, between each medication, and after all medications have been administered .5- Each medication is administered separately to avoid interaction and clumping . Tablets, powders, and beads (never crushed) from open capsules, are mixed with 5 ml of water prior to administration via the tube. In an interview on 12/01/22 at 12:10 PM the ADON said there was no specific policy for checking placement/residual for a resident G-tube.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some room to administer the medication. Before MA A could administer the medication, this surveyor stopped MA A and alerted her to the blood pressure being outside of parameters for administration. MA A stated Midodrine was being administered to Resident #22 due to her low blood pressure, but she gets confused by the medication orders regularly because it gives instructions of when to administer the medication instead of when to hold the medication. MA A stated when an elevated blood pressure was entered into the EMR the system did not provide instructions to hold the medication and looking back , she remembered she had frequently administered the medications at BP reading above 100. MA A stated administering Midodrine to a patient with high blood pressure could further increase the resident's blood pressure. In an interview on 12/01/22 at 11:25 AM, ADON stated prior to administering medications to a resident nursing staff are expected to verify the orders and in the case of blood pressure was to verify the collected blood pressure against the order parameters. ADON stated Midodrine was used to treat hypotension and should only be administered below a BP reading of 100. ADON stated if a resident had an elevated BP, the medication must be held and administering Midodrine outside of parameters could place residents at risk of increased blood pressure, irregular heart rate, stroke, or a hypertensive emergency. Record review of MA A'S medication administration competency assessment dated [DATE] revealed, eight (8)- medications were administered in accordance with current physician's order reflecting; yes.
