**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record review, and interviews during the Recertification Survey initiated on 3/26/2024 and completed on 4/2/2024, the facility did not ensure that a resident who is fed by enteral means receives the appropriate treatment, care, and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding. This was identified for one (Resident #184) of three residents reviewed for Tube Feeding. Specifically, on 3/26/2024 at 10:30 AM and 3/27/2024 at 8:00 AM Resident #184's tube feeding bottle was observed hanging on a feeding tube stand without a label including the resident's name, and the time the tube feeding was initiated.
The finding is:
The facility's Policy and Procedure titled; Enteral Tube Feeding last revised 10/2023 documented that the tube feeding preparation will be administered as per the physician's order to meet the nutritional needs of the resident. The feeding bottle must be labeled with the resident's name and the administrating nurse's initial, date, and time of administration.
Resident #184 was admitted with diagnoses that included Respiratory Failure, Osteomyelitis (bone infection), and Type II Diabetes. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented that the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 99 which indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition. Resident #184 required one-person assistance with all Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The Minimum Data Set documented the resident required a feeding tube to meet the total calories per day.
The Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP) for tube feeding dated 1/9/2024 documented interventions to assess for patency and proper placement of the tube, and ensure the head of the bed is elevated at 45 degrees during feeding and one-hour post feeding.
The Physician's order dated 2/20/2024 documented to administer Jevity 1.5 Cal (a fiber-fortified, high-nitrogen liquid tube feeding formula, suitable for supplemental or sole source of nutrition) at 95 milliliters per hour continuously. Water flush of 120 milliliters before and after each feeding.
During an observation on 3/26/2024 at 10:30 AM, Resident #184 had an enteral feeding bottle hanging from the feeding tube stand. The enteral bottle did not have a label that indicated the resident's name, the time feeding was started, and the feeding directions as prescribed by the physician.
In a subsequent observation on 3/27/2024 at 8:00 AM, Resident #184 had an enteral feeding bottle hanging from the feeding tube stand. The enteral bottle did not have a label that indicated the resident's name, the time feeding was started, and the feeding directions as prescribed by the physician.
Licensed Practical Nurse #1 was interviewed on 3/27/2024 at 8:00 AM and stated they did not notice that Resident #184 did not have a label on their enteral feeding bottle. Licensed Practical Nurse #1 stated they should have checked the bottle to ensure a label was in place. Resident #184 receives continuous feeding and they (Licensed Practical Nurse #1) were concentrating on the medication administration and forgot to check the enteral feeding label.
Licensed Practical Nurse #5 was interviewed on 3/28/2024 at 2:03 PM and stated that they always check the label on the enteral bottle before administering the enteral feeding. All enteral feeding bottles are received from the kitchen. The nurses are responsible for ensuring that labels on the enteral feeding bottles are in place with the correct name of the resident and the amount to be administered as per the Physician's order.
The Director of Nutrition and Food Services was interviewed on 4/1/2024 at 8:00 AM and stated that the process of labeling for all enteral bottles starts from the kitchen. Once they receive the order for enteral feeding, one of the nutritionists will provide a label with the resident's name, room number, direction for enteral feeding, date, and the name of the Physician who ordered the enteral feeding. All enteral feeding bottles are supplied to each resident unit with the correct label. The kitchen staff delivers the enteral bottles early in the morning. The Director of Nutrition and Food Services stated they did not know why Resident #184's enteral feeding bottle was not labeled.
The Director of Nursing Services was interviewed on 4/1/2024 at 8:19 AM and stated that all nurses must follow the protocol for Tube Feeding which includes labeling the tube feeding bottle with the resident's name, and the direction for enteral feeding administration as per the physician's orders. The Director of Nursing services stated they expected the nurses to ensure that the enteral bottle had a proper label before starting the enteral feeding.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record review, and interviews during the Recertification Survey initiated on 3/26/2024 and completed on 4/2/2024, the facility did not establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. This was identified for four (Residents #151, #64, #374, and #282) of seven residents reviewed for Infection Control. Specifically, during observation of the four-bedded room shared by Resident #151, Resident #64, Resident #374, and Resident #282, a Special Droplet/Contact Precaution sign was observed outside the door. The precaution sign included instructions for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including gloves, mask, gown, and a face shield or goggles. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 was observed taking vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation level) for Resident #151 inside the room wearing gloves and a surgical mask. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 was not wearing a gown and a face shield or goggles as indicated on the precaution sign.
The finding is:
The facility's policy titled Infection Prevention and Control: Transmission-Based Precautions revised on 2/9/2024 documented that transmission-based precautions are the second tier of basic infection control and are to be used in addition to standard precautions for residents who may be infected or colonized with certain infectious agents for which additional precautions are needed to prevent infection transmission. Special Precautions are combined Droplet and Contact precautions used for residents with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and with high-risk exposures; may also be used on the unit when an outbreak occurs when both COVID-19, influenza, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections are co-circulating on the unit or in the facility. A fit-tested National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved N95 (Non-Oil 95 percent efficiency mask) or higher-level Respiratory Respirator for healthcare personnel who must enter the room is required upon entry into the resident room. Doff (take off)/discard) when exiting the room to contain pathogens and perform hand hygiene. The policy documented that Multidrug-Resistant Organisms contaminate the skin and immediate environment of residents who are dependent upon assistance for activities of daily living, ventilator dependent, have indwelling medical devices, wounds, and frequent soiling. The use of gowns and gloves for specific care activities for such residents reduces contamination and subsequent transmission to other residents.
-Resident #151 was admitted with diagnoses including Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Sepsis. A Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of four which indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition.
A Comprehensive Care Plan dated 1/20/2023 for Actual and Potential Infection as evidenced by Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL - a type of bacteria that is resistant to some antibiotics) in the urine and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE-bacteria that is resistant to some powerful antibiotics) in the rectum included intervention to monitor vital signs as needed, laboratory monitoring, and physician evaluation as needed.
A Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP) dated 1/26/2024 for Actual/Potential for Infection of COVID-19 virus/Influenza/Respiratory Syncytial Virus/ Pneumococcal documented interventions that included monitoring signs and symptoms of infection such as congestion, fever, chills, body aches, and shortness of breath. Practice social distancing. Encourage fluids via a Gastrostomy Tube (GT). Proper handwashing and maintaining precautions as ordered.
A physician's order dated 4/27/2023 documented to place the resident on Contact Isolation (Precautions) secondary to Multidrug-Resistant organism (MDRO). There were no current physician's orders for Contact precautions.
A Nursing Progress Note dated 3/24/2024 during the 11:00 PM-7:00 AM shift documented that Resident # 151 developed a temperature of 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and Tylenol (fever-reducing medication) was administered. A rapid COVID-19 test was completed with a negative result.
-Resident #64 was admitted with diagnoses including Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Type II Diabetes and Hypertension. A Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact.

A physician order dated 12/19/2023 documented to place the resident on Contact Isolation secondary to Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO). There were no current physician's orders for Contact precautions.
During an observation on 3/27/2024 at 8:00 AM on Unit 22, Certified Nursing Assistant #6 was observed inside the residents' room that was occupied by Resident #151, Resident #64, Resident # 374, and Resident #282. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 obtained Resident #151's blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation level then exited the room. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 was observed wearing gloves and a surgical mask; Certified Nursing Assistant #6 was not wearing a gown and was not wearing a face shield or goggles. A sign posted outside the room read Special Droplet/Contact Precautions. The sign included instructions for the use of specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all visitors, doctors, and staff which included, wearing a face mask, eye protection (face shield or goggles), a gown, and gloves. When doing aerosolizing procedures, N95 mask with eye protection or higher is required. Use patient-dedicated or disposable equipment. Clean and disinfect shared equipment.
Certified Nursing Assistant #6 was interviewed on 3/27/2024 at 8:40 AM and stated that they were in the residents' room to check Resident #151's vital signs. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 stated they were wearing gloves and a surgical mask in the room. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 stated while they were in the room they cleaned the blood pressure machine after using the machine for each resident. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 stated they did not check the sign posted outside the door, they did not pay attention because they were focused on completing their task. Certified Nursing Assistant #6 stated they were aware that the unit had different isolation precautions and they should have checked the sign and the instructions for the use of proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before entering the resident rooms.
The Infection Preventionist was interviewed on 3/27/2024 at 9:00 AM and stated that the signage posted outside the resident's room is to alert the staff about proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use before entering the room. Resident #151, Resident #64, Resident #374, and Resident #282 were on contact precautions because of a history of Multi-Drug Resident Organism infection. The Residents were placed on enhanced droplet-contact precautions secondary to possible COVID-19 infection exposure; however, the test results came back negative and the residents were put back on contact precautions again. The expectation is for all staff and visitors to follow the correct Personal Protective Equipment use as indicated on the precaution sign that is posted outside the resident's room.
A subsequent observation of the Residents (#151, #64, #374, and #282) room was conducted on 3/28/2024 at 9:00 AM. The sign posted outside the room read, Contact Isolation which included instructions for the use of a gown, gloves, an eye shield, and a surgical mask.
The Director of Nursing Services was interviewed on 4/1/2024 at 9:37 AM and stated that all staff must follow infection control protocols. These protocols are in place to keep the residents and staff safe. All changes are communicated to each unit to ensure that all infection control standards are followed. The Director of Nursing Services stated that Certified Nursing Assistant #6 should have followed the correct Personal Protective Equipment indicated on the signage that is posted outside the resident's room.

Based on observations, record review, and interviews during the Recertification Survey initiated on 3/26/2024 and completed on 4/2/2024, the facility did not ensure that drug records were in order and accounted for all controlled drugs. This was identified on three (Unit 21, Unit 22, and Unit 31) of 13 nursing units. Specifically, during the medication storage task observations on Unit 21, Unit 22, and Unit 31, the Controlled Substance Administration Record form was not reconciled to reflect the available controlled medications in the medication blister pack for Resident #35 (Unit 21), Resident #221 (Unit 22) and for Resident #7 (Unit 31).
The finding is:
The facility's policy titled, Medication: Controlled Substances, revised 3/2024, documented that immediately after a medication dose is administered the licensed nurse administering the drug enters all of the following information on the controlled substance administration record: date/time of administration, dose/amount administered, and the signature of the nurse administering the drug.
1) Resident #35 was admitted with diagnoses including Diabetes Mellitus, Anxiety Disorder, and Depression. The 1/8/2024 Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact.
A physician's order effective 3/8/2024 documented to administer Klonopin (Clonazepam-a controlled substance used to treat anxiety) 1-milligram tablet, one tablet by mouth two times a day, for diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder.
During an observation of Unit 21's medication cart on 3/26/2024 at 1:16 PM, Resident #35's Controlled Substance Administration Record form for Clonazepam documented that 55 tablets of Clonazepam were remaining; however, the blister pack for Clonazepam only had 24 tablets. Registered Nurse #1 was present during the observation.
Registered Nurse #1 was interviewed on 3/26/2024 immediately after the observation and stated that there were 30 additional tablets available, in storage, in the medication room. Registered Nurse #1 stated they gave one tablet of Clonazepam to Resident #35 at 10:00 AM but did not document in the Controlled Substance Administration Record form that the dose was administered because the unit was busy. Registered Nurse #1 stated they should have documented and reconciled the Controlled Substance Administration Record as soon as they removed the controlled substance from the blister pack.
2) Resident #221 was admitted with diagnoses including Diabetes Mellitus, Cerebral Palsy, and Seizure Disorder. The 1/18/2024 Minimum Data Set assessment documented no Brief Interview for Mental Status due to the resident's severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision-making.
A physician's order dated 3/11/2024 documented to administer Vimpat (Lacosamide- controlled substance used to treat seizures) 100 milligrams tablet; give one tablet via gastrostomy tube two times a day, for diagnosis of Seizures.
During an observation of Unit 22's medication cart on 3/26/2024 at 1:25 PM Resident #221's Controlled Substance Administration Record form for Lacosamide (Vimpat) documented that 34 tablets were remaining; however, the blister pack for Lacosamide only had three tablets. Licensed Practical Nurse #2 was present during the observation.
Licensed Practical Nurse #2 was interviewed on 3/26/2024 immediately after the observation and stated there were 30 additional tablets in storage in the medication room. Licensed Practical Nurse #2 stated they gave one Lacosamide tablet to Resident #221 at 10:00 AM. Licensed Practical Nurse #2 stated normally they document on the Controlled Substance Administration Record form immediately after the medication is administered; however, today the unit was busy and they were not feeling well.
3) Resident #7 was admitted with diagnoses including Diabetes Mellitus, Seizure Disorder, and Schizophrenia. The 2/15/2024 Minimum Data Set assessment documented no Brief Interview for Mental Status score due to the resident's moderately impaired cognitive skills for daily decision-making.
A physician's order dated 3/19/2024 documented to administer Xcopri (a controlled substance used to treat seizures) 100 milligrams tablet; give one tablet by mouth per day, for diagnosis of Seizures.
During an observation of Unit 31's medication cart on 3/26/2024 at 2:07 PM, Resident #7's Controlled Substance Administration Record form for Xcopri documented that eight tablets were remaining; however, the blister pack for Xcopri only had seven tablets. Registered Nurse #2 was present during the observation.
Registered Nurse #2 stated they administered one Xcopri tablet to Resident #7 at 10:00 AM. Registered Nurse #2 stated they have been getting calls from residents and have been busy and that is why they (Registered Nurse #2) did not document on the Controlled Substance Administration Record form when they removed the controlled medication from the blister pack for administration.
The Registered Nurse Inservice Coordinator was interviewed on 3/27/2024 at 10:26 AM and stated all medications have to be signed for when they are administered, not just narcotics or controlled substances. The Registered Nurse Inservice Coordinator stated whenever a narcotic or controlled substance is removed from a blister pack, the Controlled Substance Administration Record form has to be updated and the controlled substance count of the blister pack has to be confirmed.
The Director of Nursing Services was interviewed on 3/27/2024 at 1:52 PM and stated signing the Controlled Substance Administration Record form has to be done immediately after a medication is administered because reconciliation of the Controlled Substance Administration Record is necessary to keep track of controlled substances.
