(Resident B) Finding includes: On 11/29/23 at 9:49 a.m., observed Resident B laying in bed with the head of bed elevated. Next to Resident B's bed, at the top of a pole approximately 6 feet tall, was a hard plastic bottle with approximately 900 ml (milliliters) of tan liquid. The label on the plastic bottle indicated Glucerna 1.5 (a tube feeding used for residents with diabetes), dated 11/28/23 at 8:30 a.m., (approximately 25 hours before observation), and administer 50 ml per hour. The hard plastic bottle held 1000 ml of feeding. Next to the bottle was a clear plastic bag approximately half full with clear liquid. The label on the clear bag indicated Resident B and 45 ml per hour. There was a thin tube coming from the bottom of the plastic bag and plastic bottle that came together and down into a g-tube pump (mechanical pump that administers tube feeding and water flushes at a rate and in intervals ordered by the physician. The pump is set by the nurse). The pump's screen indicated the feeding rate was set to 50 ml per hour and the water flush was set to 45 ml per hour. A thin tube coming from the bottom of the pump extended under Resident B's blanket. On 11/29/23 at 10:59 a.m., Resident B was lying in bed with the head of the bed elevated. Resident B's g-tube feeding was turned on and feeding was being administered. CNA 1 (Certified Nursing Aide) used the bed control and laid Resident B to a flat position. At that time, CNA 2 was standing approximately 5 feet from Resident B, and indicated Resident B's g-tube feeding should have been placed on hold before she was laid flat. Then CNA 1 indicated a nurse had to put the g-tube feeding on hold. With Resident B still lying flat, CNA 1 stood next to Resident B's bed and CNA 2 left the room to get a nurse. After approximately 60 seconds, CNA 2 returned with the ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing). The ADON indicated Resident B's g-tube feeding should have placed on hold before laying the bed to a flat position. The ADON walked to the g-tube pump to place the g-tube feeding on hold. Then, the ADON pressed a button, on the pump, to flush the feeding tube with water. After approximately 15 seconds, the flush completed. The ADON placed the pump on hold and disconnected the feeding tube from Resident B's g-tube. At that time, the ADON indicated Resident B should not have received a water flush while she was lying flat. The feeding should have been placed on hold. The ADON was not sure why the date on the plastic bottle indicated the bottle was opened and hung for approximately 25 hours and only 100 ml of feeding was used from the bottle. According to the administration rate the bottle would have ran out approximately 5 hours ago. The feeding bottle and bag of water flush should have been labeled with Resident B's name, the date and time the bottle was opened and hung on the pole, what was being administered, the prescribed feeding rate, and the nurse that hung the bottle should have initialed the label. The ADON indicated she would ask the nurses who hung the feeding bottle. On 11/29/23 at 11:21 a.m., the ADON entered Resident B's room carrying a new bottle of tube feeding, a new clear bag with the thin tubes and indicated she could not find any nurse that opened and hung Resident B's bottle of tube feeding, dated 11/28/23 at 8:30 a.m., the ADON opened and hung a new bottle of tube feeding and bag of water flush.

Next to the hard plastic bottle of tube feeding was a clear plastic bag, dated 12/1/23 at 6:45 a.m. The bag was filled to the lid with clear fluid. The tube feeding pump was turned on and tube feeding was moving down the tube toward Resident B. A piston syringe (large syringe used to administer water flushes and medication though the g-tube) was sitting on Resident B's bedside table. The piston syringe was not dated. At that time, LPN 1 (Licensed Practical Nurse) entered Resident B's room. LPN 1 was not able to explain why Resident B's g-tube feeding was opened and hung, on 12/1/23 at 6:45 a.m., but the bottle of feeding and water flush bag were both full according to the manufacturer's label on the bottle. LPN 1 indicated according to the date and time the bottle was opened and hung, the bottle should have had approximately 925 ml remaining in the bottle. LPN 1 brought an unopened bottle of Glucerna 1.5 to compare the amount of feeding in the opened bottle with the unopened bottle. When LPN 1 compared the bottles next to each other, both bottles appeared to be filled with the same amount of fluid. LPN 1 was not sure if or when the g-tube feeding pump had been serviced to ensure the pump worked properly. The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed, on 11/29/23 at 12:14 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, subarachnoid hemorrhage, diabetes, aphasia (difficulty communicating effectively), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing effectively).

The resident stated, I can't stay in bed. I want to be up in my chair. During an interview with the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) and the Clinical Education Coordinator (CEC) on 6/2/15 at 1:30 p.m., the DNS indicated the treatment orders on 1/26/15, for an ulcer on the left foot and the IDT note on 1/26/15, were documentation errors and should have indicated the open area was on the right heel. The DNS indicated the staff knew which heel needed the treatment and the treatment had been completed to the right heel from 1/26/15, through 2/2/15, when the order was changed. The DNS indicated the staff had attempted to treat the heel ulcer in house and referred the resident to the wound clinic when the area continued to show a lack of improvement with changing of the treatments. The CEC provided an invoice dated 3/3/15, indicating the specialty mattress had been applied to the resident's bed on 3/3/15, for additional pressure relieving while in bed. During a review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for January 2015 on 6/3/15 at 12:45 p.m., the TAR contained staff initials for the dates 1/26, 1/27, 1/28, 1/29, 1/30, 1/31, and 2/1/15, indicating the treatment, Cleanse Lt (left) heel w/NS (with normal saline), Gently pat dry, apply skin prep to wound edges and heel. Apply silver alginate (an agent used to debride, remove, dead or dying tissue) to open area, protect w/Allevyn Heel Foam (a foam dressing used to absorb drainage from wounds), secure with kerlix (rolled gauze) daily and PRN (as needed) soilage/dislodgement, had been completed as ordered. The TAR and the nursing progress notes lacked documentation to indicate the wheelchair legs had been elevated and lacked documentation to indicate the heels had been elevated while in bed. During an interview with the DNS, the Executive Director (ED), and the Corporate Clinical Consultant on 6/3/15 at 10:30 a.m., the DNS indicated the resident's wheelchair did not have adaptive equipment to the leg rests for pressure relief, but did have elevating leg rests. The DNS indicated the resident was encouraged to elevate the legs of the chair, but was not always compliant with elevating them. The DNS indicated the facility did not document turning and repositioning every 2 hours and did not have documentation indicating when the resident had pillows under the legs for pressure relief. 2. The clinical record of Resident #40 was reviewed on 6/1/15 at 11:00 a.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An annual Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 5/5/15, and a quarterly ((MDS) dated [DATE], indicated Resident #40 was independent in her ability to make decisions, needed extensive assistance of 2 staff for bed mobility, transferring and toileting, and was frequently incontinent. A New Skin Event, dated 5/7/15, indicated Resident #40 had developed a Stage 1 non-blanchable pressure ulcer on her right hip. A stage 1 pressure ulcer is a defined area of discolored, usually pink or red, intact skin on a surface which endures pressure. Non-blanchable means when pressure is applied, the area does not lose its color, as normal skin does. The Skin Event indicated this new stage 1 pressure ulcer measured 10.0 centimeters (cm) x 9.0 cm by < (less than) 0.1 cm. An Event, dated 5/11/15, indicated the right hip stage 1 pressure ulcer measured 13.0 cm. x 9.0 cm. x <0.1 cm. An Event dated 5/18/15, indicated the right hip stage 1 pressure ulcer measured 10 cm. x 8 cm. x <0.1 cm. An event dated 5/26/15 indicated the right hip stage 1 pressure ulcer measured 13 cm. x 9.0 cm x <0.1 cm. An event dated 6/1/15, indicated the right hip stage 1 pressure ulcer measured 12 cm. x 9 cm. x <0.1 cm. An observation on 6/2/15 at 10:45 a.m., indicated a large, pinkish, red, and darker red area around the right buttock fold, upper thigh, hip area. A discontinued care plan, dated 6/22/14, indicated Resident #40 was at risk for skin breakdown. Interventions in place at the time the stage 1 pressure area was noted on 5/7/15, included turning and repositioning the resident at every 2 hours. A current care plan, created 5/13/15, indicated the resident being at risk for skin breakdown. Interventions including turning and repositioning at least every 2 hours. A current care plan, created 2/24/15, indicated Resident #40 had impaired skin integrity .stage I to right hip as of 5/6/15. Interventions included turning and repositioning every 2 hours. An observation on 6/2/15 between 11:10 a.m. and 1:40 p.m. (2 1/2 hours), indicated Resident #40 was sitting in her wheelchair. It appeared she was sitting directly on the stage I pressure area on her right buttock, upper thigh, hip area. There were no observations of attempts to reposition the resident during the 2 1/2 hour period. On 6/2/15 at 1:40 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1 indicated Resident #40 stays up in the wheelchair after lunch and likes to stay in the wheelchair all afternoon. The CNA indicated the resident will call if she is incontinent of stool, and sometimes the resident's urinary catheter bag gets emptied, but otherwise the staff doesn't do anything with the resident. On 6/2/15 at 3:30 p.m., the Clinical Education Coordinator (CEC)/wound nurse indicated Resident #40 refused to go back to bed during the day and didn't want to be repositioned. No documentation was found in the resident's record which indicated staff was repositioning the resident while up in the wheelchair. The CEC indicated at that time the resident's refusal to return to bed or be repositioned in the wheelchair was not care planned with alternative interventions for pressure relief. On 6/1/15 the Director of Nursing Services provided a policy titled, Skin Management Program, dated 2/2015, and indicated it was the policy currently used by the facility. The policy indicated, .The facility assigned wound nurse will complete further evaluation of the wounds identified and complete the appropriate skin evaluation event on the next business day, Direct care givers will be notified of skin alterations and specific care needs, A plan of care will be initiated to include resident specific risk factors with appropriate interventions .A care plan will be developed specific to the resident's needs including prevention interventions Direct care givers will be notified of the resident's specific prevention interventions . 3.1-40(a)(1) 3.1-40(a)(2)
