observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and services to prevent
complications of enteral feeding for two (Residents #29 and Resident #59) of two residents reviewed for
feeding tubes.
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #29's G-tube was flushed with 15-30 ml's water after medication
administration and failed to flush between each medication with 15 ml's of water per facility policy.
2. The facility failed to have orders for Resident #29 and Resident #59 for the required amount of water

separate cups and entered the resident's room. RN B then filled a plastic cup with water from the bathroom
sink and poured approximately 20 ccs of water into each medication cup. She then retrieved a 60-cc piston
syringe and placed the feeding pump on hold. She disconnected the feeding tube from the G-tube and
placed the piston syringe into the G-tube connector and checked for residual and flushed the G-tube with
30 cc's of water. RN B then administered each medication by gravity. RN B did not flush with clear water
between each medication or after the final medication administration. RN B then reconnected the feeding
tube and turned the pump back on. RN B removed gloves and performed hand hygiene.
In an interview with RN B on 01/31/24 at 08:20 AM stated she had reviewed with the DON prior to doing
the medication pass and was told to dilute the medications with 20 cc of water and flush with 30 cc before
and after and none in between. RN B pulled up the physician orders and reviewed and stated it did not
indicate how much to dilute medications with or how much to flush with in between. She stated it was
important to flush before and after to prevent the tube from clogging. She stated she assumed the 20 ccs to
dilute the medications was sufficient.
2. Record review of Resident #59's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 01/04/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old
female with an admission date of 04/21/21. Resident #59 was unable to respond to the interview for mental
status and staff had not completed the mental assessment. Resident #59 had active diagnoses which
included cerebral vascular accident (stroke) hemiplegia (partial paralysis on one side of the body) and
aphasia (language disorder), and she received 51% or more of total calories through a feeding tube (a tube
inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach).
Record review of Resident #59's Physician orders report dated 01/31/24 reflected, .Medications to be given
via PEG tube with a start date of 10/10/23. There were no orders for water flushes prior to, between each
medication and after administration of medication.

tube and receive all nutrition through tube .Interventions .[Resident #59] is dependent with tube feeding and
water flushes. See MD orders for current feeding orders .
Record review of Resident #59's Medication administration record for January 2024 did not indicate how
much water to flush the g-tube with prior to, between each medication and after medication administration.
In an interview the DON on 01/31/24 at 09:20 a.m. she stated she had instructed the staff to dilute G-tube
medications with 20 cc of water and flush with 30 cc before and after. She stated she was the one who had
told them not to flush with water in between, since they were using 20 cc to dilute the medication with. She
stated they had batch orders the nurses clicked on when putting in G-Tube medication orders. She stated
who ever put in the order was responsible for ensuring the orders for flushing before and after were on the
orders as well as how much to dilute the medication with. She stated the batch orders would be the facility's
routine orders unless the pharmacist or the physician requested something different. The DON then pulled
up the batch orders and stated the batch orders were to dilute medications with 15 ml, flush with 15 ml
between each medication and flush with 30 cc before and after medications. She stated she had instructed
the staff incorrectly and stated she would re-educate everyone and get the orders up to date. She stated
failing to flush between medications could potentially cause the g-tube to occlude.

to flush with water between each medication mainly to clear the line and prevent medications from clogging
the line. He reviewed the medications administered to Resident #29 and stated none would have a
significant interaction with each other. He stated when he does medication pass observation with the staff,
he always tells them to flush with at least 10 to 20 cc of water between each medication, before and after
just to make sure the tube is clear of all medications to prevent the tube from obstructing.

about dialysis and was unaware about dialysis communication sheets.
Interview on 02/01/24 at 10:45 AM with DON revealed she expected charge nurse to complete pre dialysis
part of the dialysis sheet and give it to Resident #70 to take with her to dialysis so dialysis center can be
aware of resident's condition prior to dialysis. She stated she expected charge nurse to ask Resident #70
after she returns from dialysis for dialysis communication sheet that was filled out by dialysis center and
assess Resident #70 including vitals and dialysis site . She stated when facility nurses were not completing
the dialysis communication sheets it can put residents at risk of not ensuring resident was stable for
dialysis. She stated when facility nurses are not reviewing Resident #70's dialysis communication sheets
they were unaware of resident's condition from dialysis. She stated facility nurses were in-serviced about
two months ago about completing dialysis communication sheets but the facility did not complete in-service
sheets to provide which nurses were in-serviced. She stated she expected nurses to complete pre and post

vitals to be done right before dialysis so nurse would have a baseline and assess if resident was stable for
dialysis. She stated the facility did not have a dialysis policy. She stated agency nurses were not specifically
in-serviced on dialysis . She stated about 2 months ago nurses were inserviced by ADON about completing
dialysis communication sheets and started using the dialysis communication sheets she had. DON stated

entered the resident's bathroom, washed her hands, and put on gloves and proceeded to obtain the blood
sugar reading. LVN D gathered the glucometer, lancet and used alcohol wipe and disposed the lancet in the
sharps container and carried the glucometer with her to the resident's bathroom and laid it on the sink,
removed her gloves and washed hands. LVN D wrapped the glucometer in a paper towel, retrieved the
bottle of test strips from the Resident's bedside table and returned to the medication cart. LVN D placed the
glucometer and bottle of test strips on top of medication cart. LVD D then put on gloves and cleaned
glucometer with a germicidal wipe but did not clean the bottle of test strips. LVN D then opened the
medication cart and retrieved the Resident's insulin pen and dialed in the required amount of insulin per
sliding scale. LVN D put on gloves and entered the Resident's room and administered the insulin. LVN D
removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene, and returned the insulin to the medication cart. LVN D then
moved her medication cart to the next residents with the bottle of test strips still on top of medication cart.

strip in the glucometer and placed it on top of the medication cart and put on a N-95, gown and gloves and
entered the resident's room to obtain the fingerstick blood sugar. LVN D then ungowned and gloved,
sanitized hands, cleaned the glucometer with a germicidal wipe, but not the bottle of test strips or the top of
her medication cart. LVN D placed the bottle of test strips back in the cart and pulled out the residents'
insulin pen and dialed the amount of insulin required per sliding scale. LVN D put on full PPE and
re-entered Resident #9's room and administered her insulin. LVN D ungowned and gloved and performed
hand hygiene and returned the insulin pen back into the medication cart.
In an interview with LVN D on 01/30/24 at 11:30 a.m. she stated she should not have carried the full bottle
of test strips into Resident #80's room, stating it was multi resident use supplies and would be considered
contaminated at that point. She stated she had no idea why she carried it in and stated she just got
flustered. She stated she should have cleaned the top of her medication cart as well. She stated the risk of
not properly sanitizing was spreading germs and cross contamination.
