F693G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident received the appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding for one (Resident #129) of one reviewed for tube feeding. Specifically, Resident #129 was not administered enteral fluids for nutrition/hydration per physician orders. Subsequently, Resident #129 was hospitalized on [DATE] with a diagnosis of hypernatremia (high concentration of sodium in the blood). This resulted in actual harm to Resident #129 that was not Immediate Jeopardy The findings included: The facility policy titled, Kangaroo Enteral Feeding Pump Use and Management, revised 04/2026 documented only trained licensed nursing personnel shall initiate, adjust or discontinue enteral feedings. Residents receiving enteral nutrition shall be monitored routinely for hydration status and pump functionality. Residents receiving tube feedings shall be monitored every shift for formula amount remaining, intake/output if ordered, and hydration status. Resident #129 had diagnoses that included aphasia (inability to express speech caused by brain damage), seizure disorder (uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain), and anoxic brain damage (no oxygen to the brain).

The Progress Note dated 04/24/2026 written by Nurse Practitioner #1 documented persistent hypernatremia despite IV hydration of Dextrose 5% Water. Sodium 164. Concerns for ongoing free water deficit. Clinical course concerning for life threatening electrolyte derangement (abnormal concentration of minerals in the body) and will require hospitalization. The Progress Note dated 05/04/2026 written by Physician #1 documented Resident #129 was status post hospitalization for hypernatremia/unresponsive episode. Thought to be due to inadequate free water intake via gastrostomy tube and was found to be 2.4 liters in deficit. During an observation on 05/17/2026 at 11:40 AM, Resident #129's tube feeding formula, Osmolite 1.5 and water bag were hanging with no date, and no name on the bottle. The Kangaroo pump (mechanical feeding pump) was running at 70 milliliters per hour. The total feed on the Kangaroo pump indicated 5,561 milliliters had been administered. During an observation on 05/18/2026 at 8:38 AM, Resident #129's Kangaroo pump was beeping and had an indicator of blocked tube on the display. The Osmolite 1.5 1,000 milliliters bag was hung and had been labeled with the date of 05/18/2026 and 8:00 AM start time; and a 1,000 milliliters bag of water was hung and labeled with the date 05/18/2026. During observations on 05/18/2026 from 8:56 AM through 11:41 AM, the Kangaroo pump was beeping and indicated blocked tube at 8:56 AM, 9:07 AM, 9:23 AM, 9:39 AM, and 10:11 AM. At 11:31 AM the Kangaroo pump was running and had provided 91 milliliters of formula since 8:00 AM. At 11:41 AM the Kangaroo pump was providing a flush and displayed a flush of 42 milliliters. During an observation and interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing/Unit Manager #2 on 05/19/2026 at 11:44 AM, both water bag and formula were labeled/dated. The Kangaroo pump displayed 70 milliliters per hour, and the total feed administered of 1,301 milliliters. There were 900 milliliters left in the 1,000 milliliters bag of formula. The Assistant Director of Nursing/Unit Manager #2 stated the nurse who started the new bag of formula at 8:00 AM probably did not clear the pump from the day before and the pump continued to calculate from what had already been administered the day before. They stated if the pump was not cleared it would give incorrect information. The Assistant Director of Nursing/Unit Manager #2 stated they were not sure how or where the nurses were getting the numbers documented on the intake/output monitoring. During an interview on 05/19/2026 at 12:16 PM, Registered Dietitian #1 stated there was no change in the formula or water flush for Resident #129 despite the elevated sodium levels. They stated that formula and water flushes were changed to the day shift to keep more eyes on the pump and make sure it was running properly. The Assistant Director of Nursing/Unit Manager #2 stated they thought the issue was that the nurses were not clearing the pump when they hung a new bag of formula and water. During an interview on 05/19/2026 at 12:22 PM, Registered Nurse #21 stated when they calculated the intake for Resident #129 during their shift, they thought they added four water flushes of 150 milliliters, total of 600 milliliters and then added the water for the flushes during medication administration. During an interview on 05/19/2026 at 12:37 PM, the Director of Nursing stated Resident #129's intake should be calculated from the total formula, water flush and medication water flushes given. The nurses could read the pump for the amount administered if the pump is cleared properly. The Director of Nursing stated the staff was probably trying to calculate the amount themselves and that could be the inconsistency documented on the intake monitoring. They stated the Enteral Feeding policy did not spell out how to calculate and document intake. During an observation and interview on 05/20/2026 at 7:45 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse #17 was starting the Kangaroo pump for Resident #129. Licensed Practical Nurse #17 flushed 30 milliliters of water before they started the feeding, programed the pump to start at a rate of 70 milliliters per hour, and did not clear the pump. The pump displayed 1,944 milliliters already administered when it was started. Licensed Practical Nurse #17 stated they documented the intake by calculating 70 milliliters per hour multiplied by the number of hours the pump was on during their shift; they did not look at the pump to see what was administered. They also stated that certified nurse aides could stop and start the Kangaroo pump to provide cares for Resident #129. They stated that was the only time the pump would be off during their shift. They stated this could affect the intake. During observation and interview on 05/22/2026 at 7:50 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse #17 started the Kangaroo pump and did not clear the pump. The pump displayed 1,122 milliliters to start at 8:00 AM. During a telephone interview on 05/22/2026 at 9:16 AM, Physician #1 stated Resident #129 had a Kangaroo pump and the water flushes should be automatic. When Physician #1 was made aware that the pump was not cleared out by staff when they started it on 05/17/2026 at 8:00 AM and that on 05/17/2026 at 11:40 AM the pump was observed to have administered 5,561 millilitersPhysician #1 stated that the hospitalization for hypernatremia could have been avoided since the flushes were not as automatic as user error. Furthermore, they stated this could have been a stressful situation for Resident #129. During an interview on 05/22/2026 at 10:50 AM, the Director of Nursing stated the facility purchased the Kangaroo pumps in 12/2025 in hopes of better accuracy and resident outcomes. They stated the training of the operation of the Kangaroo pump education had a five-question quiz, but there was no competency demonstrations completed with the nursing staff. 10 New York Code Rules Regulations 415.12(g)(2)

Sometimes the computer will time out and the computer logs you out, and there are times when you have it all clicked off and then it will no longer show on the computer. It may have been a computer glitch. It is possible that the medications were given earlier and with rushing so much it did not get clicked off. Registered Nurse #3 stated that the nurses try their best to avoid this. It may state 12pm but that may not be accurate, but they cannot recall the details specifically. Clicking each one, it is possible that they might have just been late to document, and maybe the computer might have logged them out. If the actual administration of the medication takes more than 10 minutes the computer will log you out. Registered Nurse #3 stated it is hard for them to recall December 2024. Registered Nurse #3 stated that it is just so tight on time management, they are always doing everything they can to be on time. Registered Nurse #3 stated that in general they contact the appropriate person if they are late, but they did not recall those days in particular, we are just all running as fast as we can.On 12/03/2024 all medications that were scheduled to be administered at 9:00am were documented as being administered after 12pm but before 1pm, and this exact pattern occurred in the same manner on all the dates (listed above) that Registered Nurse #3 was administering medication to Resident #2. During a telephone interview on 03/26/2026 at 11:00am with the Assistant Director of Nursing they stated they believe the census on the unit where Resident #2 resides has approximately 38 to 40 residents at maximum capacity. The Assistant Director of Nursing stated on this unit one (1) nurse is administering medications to 40 residents and when that one nurse arrives at 8am, the nurse leaving has to do the narcotic count with them and that takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on the situation, then the nurse leaving must report to them regarding each resident on the unit and that can take at least 15 minutes, then the medication pass starts at about 830am. and the nurse has until 10am to administer all the medications. The Assistant Director of Nursing stated this allows for approximately 2 minutes to administer medications to each resident. The Assistant Director of Nursing stated they would like to say medications are never late, but realistically the calculation suggests that to be difficult. The Assistant Director of Nursing stated that management is aware, and it is a work in progress, and they are trying to get a third cart nurse. The Assistant Director of Nursing stated that every unit has a manager and collectively they should all be working to ensure medications are being administered on time.During an interview on 03/26/2026 at 2:19pm with the Administrator they stated that their expectation is that when a medication is late, they monitor the nurses as closely as they can and the Assistant Director of Nursing and the Director of Nursing are rounding and making sure everything is going smoothly and that the medications are not running late. The Administrator stated that when a new nurse is trained and they are running behind, they do a couple of different things, such as, the Assistant Director of Nursing or the Director of Nursing will help the nurse. The Administrator stated that they often find out about medication being administered late through their seeing it themselves or a resident tells them. The Administrator stated they have not seen an alarming trend of nurses that cannot complete the medication pass, but for those that struggle the facility provides them assistance. The Administrator stated that per their policy the nurse that administers the medication, at end of their shift, reviews the Medication Administration Record, and though there is no indication that a second nurse reviews the Medication Administration Record that same day or on the next shift, the Unit Manager runs a monthly report. During a telephone interview on 03/26/2026 at 4:04pm with Resident #2s Doctor, when asked about medication administration delays in December of 2024, they stated that it was a long time ago, that they had no memory of any medication error, and if there had been a negative outcome, they would likely recall the issue. The Doctor stated they do not believe there was ever any issue, and none with Resident #2's medications being late. The Doctor stated that they would recall, for example, if a patient had their Blood Pressure bottom out and then they got called and were told that a medication was given late. The Doctor stated they have no recollection of any history of medications being administered late. The Doctor stated that ideally medications should be given on time, and their expectation is if a medication is administered late by 4 or 5 hours they should be notified, adding that there are several ways to notify them.During an interview on 03/30/2026 at 9:46am with the Pharmacy Consultant they stated that as the Pharmacy Consultant they are just looking at the medication regiment and making recommendations to the physicians, they do not open the Medication Administration Record. The Pharmacy Consultant stated that they assume that nursing would have some internal auditing. The Pharmacy Consultant stated that they look for drug interactions or dosage strength. The Pharmacy Consultant stated they do not open the Medication Administration Record when doing reviews and they do not do any training with staff, and added that any oversight would be done internally by the facility.10NYCRR S415.22(a)(1-4)
