Based on clinical record review, facility documentation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to follow physician's orders to ensure the safety of one resident during meals for one of 18 residents reviewed, which resulted in actual harm to the resident (Resident CL3). Findings include: Review of Resident CL3's [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of Resident CL3's clinical record revealed that Resident CL3 received speech therapy from December 24, 2015, up to and including January 28, 2016, to promote the resident's eating and drinking abilities in an effort to avoid choking and/or aspiration (the accidental sucking of food particles or fluids into the lungs). Review of Resident CL3's January 2016 physician's orders revealed that the resident was ordered a mechanical soft diet (food that is made easier to chew and swallow). Review of Resident CL3's active plan of care dated December 22, 2015, revealed that the resident required a mechanically altered diet related to chewing and swallowing impairments and related to a history of a choking episode prior to admission. Review of facility documentation in relation to a description of an incident and Resident CL3's clinical record review revealed that on January 28, 2016, at approximately 12:45 p.m. Resident CL3 was in the dining room and the nursing assistant was called over to the Resident CL3's table by another resident. The other resident told the nursing assistant that Resident CL3 appeared to be choking. The nursing assistant asked Resident CL3 if he was choking but the resident was not able to answer.

Two licensed nursing staff arrived and continued the process and also used an Ambu bag (a resuscitator bag used to assist ventilation's) to attempt to aid the resident's breathing. The emergency mdical technicians were called and started CPR (CPR - a medical procedure involving repeated compression of a patient's chest, performed in an attempt to restore the blood circulation and breathing). The resident subsequently expired. Review of the facility's investigation into this incident revealed that the nursing assistant confirmed that while serving the lunch meal to Resident CL3, the nursing assistant looked at the wrong resident's name and diet on the resident assignment sheet (report sheet instructing the nursing assistant in the specific care and needs of each resident that the nursing assistant is assigned to on a daily basis.) Review of the facility documentation revealed that the caregiver assigned to Resident CL3 provided a meal inconsistent with the diet that was ordered by the physician and recommended by the speech therapist. An interview on September 30, 2016, at approximately 12:00 p.m. with the Speech Therapist, Employee E3, revealed that the nursing staff received education on all of the residents who are being seen and treated by speech therapy, regarding the appropriate diet with accompanying precautions that are to be put into place for the safety of each resident. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on September 30, 2016, at approximately 12:30 p.m. confirmed that the nursing assistant served the wrong meal consistency to Resident CL3 which ultimately led to the resident choking on the food and subsequently expiring. The facility failed to ensure that Resident CL3 was provided with a meal consistent to the diet ordered by the physician which resulted in actual harm to Resident CL3 who choked and subsequently died . 28 Pa.
