This survey cited 3 deficiencies, 1 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 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. 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 ensure services provided by the facility, as outlined by the comprehensive care plan, met professional standards of quality for two (Resident #2, CR#1) of three residents observed for gastrostomy tube feedings. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to ensure that LVN B turned off Resident #2's feeding as ordered by the physician. The facility failed to ensure that CNAs notified the nurses to turn off CR#1's feeding pump when providing care. These failures could place residents at risk for aspiration, and abdominal discomfort. Findings included: Resident #2 Record review of Resident #2's admission face sheet revealed he was [AGE] year-old male that was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), oropharyngeal phase (movement of food through the oral cavity by the tongue), lack of coordination, major depressive disorder (mental illness), insomnia (difficulty sleeping), essential hypertension (high blood pressure), hypothyroidism (when the thyroid glands doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones), hypotension (low blood pressure), altered mental status (change in mental function), other supraventricular tachycardia (irregular heart beat) and cerebral infarction (disruptive blood flow to the brain). Record review of Resident #2's physician's order dated 01/11/2024 revealed an order for Enteral Feeding every night shift for feeding supplement Enteral Feeding Isosource 1.5 at 70 ml per hour with 30 minutes flush.

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Problem: Resident #2 has nutritional problem or potential nutritional problem r/t NPO, g-tube use. At risk for nutritional problem related to DM, hypotension, dysphagia, hyperlipidemia, anxiety insomnia, MDD and hypothyroidism, peg tube status. Goal: Resident #2 will maintain adequate nutritional status as evidenced by maintaining weight, no s/sx of malnutrition, and tolerating tube feeds daily through review date. Intervention: Obtain and monitor lab/diagnostic work as ordered. Report results to MD and follow up as indicated. Provide and serve diet as ordered. RD to evaluate and make diet change recommendations PRN. Resident #2 requires tube feeding r/t Dysphagia. Resident #2 will maintain adequate nutritional and hydration status, weight stable, no s/sx of malnutrition or dehydration through the review date. Check for tube placement and gastric contents/residual volume per facility protocol and record. Monitor/document/report to MD PRN: Aspiration- fever, SOB, Tube dislodged, Infection at tube site, Self-extubating, Tube dysfunction or malfunction, Abnormal breath/lung sounds, Abnormal lab values, Abdominal pain, distension, tenderness, Constipation or fecal impaction, Diarrhea, Nausea/vomiting, Dehydration. Provide local care to G-Tube site as ordered and monitor for s/sx of infection. The resident is dependent with tube feeding and water flushes. See MD orders for current feeding/flush orders. Observation on 1/24/2024 at 2:00pm revealed Resident#2 in bed with the head of the bed elevated. Feeding pump was infusing at 70ml per hour and water flush at 30ml per hour, and on the bag was written from 10:00pm-6:00am. Further observation revealed the feeding bag had approximately 100 ml of feeding in it. In an interview and observation with LVN B on 1/24/2024 at 2:05pm he said resident was on continuous feed from 10:00pm to 6:00am. He said the feeding should only run on the night shift because the resident was fed by mouth during the day. He said the pump should be off at 6:00am but did not get turned off because he was late coming to work. He said he should have turned the pump off when he got to work but he got busy. At that point he turned the pump off. He was then asked what could happen if the pump was not turned off as ordered. He said that could cause the resident not to eat as much as he normally would eat, because he would be too full, and that could cause him to throw up. In an interview on 1/24/2024 at 2:30pm LVN C said she was not aware that Resident #2's feeding pump was not turned off. She said usually if the nurse was not in, she would try and check all resident to ensure that they were provided the care and services needed until a nurse comes in. She said the nurse came in latee but she thought he had taken care of the resident. In an interview on 1/24/2024 at 2:45pm CNA C said Resident #2 was fed via a feeding tube a night but eats during the day. She said it depends on what was served for the meal, he would eat all his meal and sometimes he would eat a little. She said if he eats less than 50%, they should give him supplement. She said he ate about 50% of his meal that day. In an interview on 1/24/2024 at 3:00pm the DON said that a staff coming to work late should not prevent residents from getting the care and services they required. She said another nurse should have turned the pump off. At that point she said she will have to in-service the staff.

Orders will be implemented into system depicting times for patients to be repositioned and changed as well as any applicable physician orders, ensuring patients are attended to every two hours and as needed. Monitoring the POR on [DATE]: During the survey monitoring, the Administrator was interviewed regarding what she believed was the root cause of the IJ. The Administrator believed that a thorough assessment was not done by the nurse when medications were given to CR#1 and the aides did not report to the nurses when they saw what looked like milk on CR#1. There was a plan in place to monitor this issue, and the retraining of nursing staff and checking on residents every two hours avoid this issue occurring again. The Administrator expects the Director of Nursing to monitor all the systems daily as it relates to the IJ tags, physician notification and ensuring thorough and immediate documentation in resident medical records. During the survey monitoring, the Director of Nursing (DON) was also interviewed regarding what she believed was the root cause of the IJ. The DON believed if CR#1 was assessed properly and the CNAs reported what they saw when they were providing care the outcome might have been different.

She said there should be no blanks on the MARS. She said she was new to the facility, and she will have to in-service the staff on documentation. During an interview on 1/29/2024 at 3:35 p.m. RN B said she worked mostly on the weekend, so she was not the one who was responsible for giving the medications. She said when medications were given, they should document on the MARS and if the resident refused for whatever reasons they should code on the MARS and document in the nurses the reason why the medication was not given. She said if the resident was not in the building it should be documented in the nurse's notes. She said there should be no blanks on the MARS because it would be difficult to determine if medications was given or not and treatment was done or not done.
