An interview on [DATE], at 11:20 a.m. with Employee E3 revealed that the resident was coughing through the shift and that Employee E1 was informed and advised Employee E3 that this was normal for the resident. Employee E3 was called away to another floor to assist with another resident and when Employee E3 returned and checked on Resident CL1 the resident was observed coughing up tube feeding fluid. The resident was gray and purple-ish. Employee E1 arrived in the resident's room and a STAT was called. When Employee E5 and Employee E1 were doing post mortem care the resident was rolled over to clean her back and the tube feed was coming out of the resident's mouth and nose and it was all over her hair. The resident's orders and care plan identified the resident as being at risk for aspiration. The facility failed to implement interventions to assess the resident for aspiration in a timely manner resulting in the resident's death. 42 CFR 483.25 Provide Care/Services for Highest Well Being Previously cited [DATE], [DATE] 28 Pa.

F325G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on review of clinical records, facility documentation and facility policies, and interviews with staff, it was determined that the facility failed to adequately address the increased nutritional requirements related to significant weight loss that resulted in actual harm for one of 31 reviewed (Resident R196). Findings include: Review of facility policy, Weight Assessment and Intervention, dated revised February 2011, indicated that it is the policy of the facility to, . prevent, monitor, and intervene for undesirable weight loss . The policy defined significant weight loss with the following criteria: a five percent weight loss over one month, a seven and a half percent weight loss over three months, and a ten percent weight loss over six months. The policy also stated that any weight loss that exceeded these established parameters would be considered severe. A review of the clinical record for Resident R196 revealed that the resident had been readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses, including but not limited to, [MEDICAL CONDITIONS] (damage to the brain from a lack of oxygen). At the time of admission, the resident was comatose (state of profound unconsciousness), with a [MEDICAL CONDITION] (tube inserted through the neck to assist in breathing). The resident's diet was NPO (nothing by mouth). The resident had a gastrostomy (feeding tube) through which the resident received enteral (liquid feedings) nutrition, medications and water. The resident's prognosis (a prediction of the resident's probable outcome) at the time of admission was poor and the resident was subsequently place on hospice (end of life care) services. In addition, the resident's code status was changed to DNR (DNR-do not resuscitate-no heroic efforts in the event of an emergency). Review of Employee E5, registered dietitian, progress note dated [DATE], at 10:39 a.m., indicated that Resident R196 had weighed 304.3 pounds on admission. The resident had been had been placed on a tube feeding of Glucerna 1.2 at 50 cc/hr to run over a 22 hour period with water flushes of 200 cc every six hours. This formula provided the resident with 1320 calories (approximate energy value of food ) 1900 cc of fluids and 66 grams (a unit of mass) of protein. The dietician indicated that the resident's estimate nutrient needs based on the residents' height, weight and current medical condition was ,[DATE] calories, ,[DATE] cc fluid and ,[DATE] grams of protein. The dietitian further noted that Resident R196 had been tolerating the prescribed tube feedings without any signs or symptoms of aspiration (inhaling as foreign material such as a tube feeding). The dietitian indicated that Resident R196 was a high nutrition risk due to the necessity of the tube feeding. The dietitian recommended that the current tube feeding rate be increased to 60 cc/hr to infuse over 22 hours. The increased rate would provide Resident R196 with 1785 calories, 1320 cc fluid and 79 grams or protein. In addition, the dietician recommended the addition of 30 cc of Prostat (a protein supplement) which would provide an additional 100 calories and 15 grams of protein. On [DATE], at 2:43 p.m., the resident was noted with decreased urine output (indication of dehydration). The dietitian recommended that Resident R196's water flushes be increased to 250 cc every six hours. this would provided the resident with 1000 cc of water in 24 hours. On [DATE], the dietitian further recommended that Resident R196's protein supplement, Prostat, be increased to twice daily. On [DATE], Resident R196 was noted with a new pressure ulcer to the right lateral foot. The ulcer was noted as 3.0 centimeters (cm) long by 1.0 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep. A Skin/Wound note dated [DATE], at 1:19 p.m., indicated that in addition to the pressure ulcer to the right lateral foot, facility staff had identified a new skin tear to the resident's right buttock. No changes were made to the residents' tube feeding regime or protein supplementation as a result of the new skin alterations. On [DATE], Resident R196's weight was noted as 268.4 pounds. This represented a loss of 34.8 pounds over three weeks. This reflected an 11.2 percent loss over thirty days which per facility policy indicated both a significant and a severe weight loss. Employee E5, registered dietitian, notified the resident's physician of the resident's significant weight loss. There were no changes made to the resident's tube feeding regime or protein supplements as a result of the presence of the new wound or the 34.8 pound weight loss. On [DATE], at 12:46 p.m., Resident R196 was noted with new changes to an existing alteration on the skin of the resident's sacrum (lower back). A physician's progress note dated [DATE], at 6:12 p.m., indicated that the resident's sacral ulcer was worsening. No new changes were made to the residents' tube feeding regime or protein supplementation. On [DATE], the physician ordered Resident R196's tube feeding of Glucerna 1.2 be decreased to 40 cc per hour and decreased the length of the feeding from 22 to 20 hours. Employee E5's dietary note dated [DATE], indicated that the resident had sustained a significant weight loss of greater than ten percent over six months which, per facility criteria, also represented a severe weight loss. Further review of the dietary note dated [DATE], indicated that the physician was aware of the resident's severe weight loss. Employee E5 recommended that the resident's protein supplement, Prostat, be increased to three times daily to help meet the resident's estimated nutrient needs. physician progress notes [REDACTED]. No changes were made to the resident's tube feeding. Review of the dietitian notes dated [DATE], at 11:42 a.m., revealed that Resident R196 was noted with a continued significant and severe weight loss of greater than ten percent over 180 days. The physician again was noted as aware of the weight loss. Employee E5 further indicated that the resident had been maintained on a low rate, low volume , low calorie tube feeding as per the physician's orders [REDACTED]. Further review of the clinical record for Resident R196 revealed that the resident had been discontinued from hospice services on [DATE]. The resident's code status was subsequently changed back to a full code which indicated that the resident was to be resuscitated and that the facility would perform CPR in the event of an emergency. There was no clinical documentation that Resident R196's nutritional status had been reassessed at the time the resident was removed from hospice services, a significant change related to the resident's plan of care. On [DATE], the resident's weight was 269.0 pounds. On [DATE], Resident R196's weight was noted as 202.6 pounds. This reflected a loss of 66.6 pounds from [DATE]. The resident was subsequently reweighed on [DATE], and noted to weigh 202.1 pounds. Dietitian notes dated [DATE], confirmed that the resident had sustained 66.6 pound weight loss over thirty days. This weight reflected a 24.7 percent loss over thirty days which again equated with both a significant and a severe weight loss for this resident. The physician was noted as aware of the weight loss. Clinical documentation further indicated that the physician wanted the resident maintained on a hypocaloric feeding regime secondary to the resident's obesity and the high risk of aspiration. On [DATE], the resident was subsequently transferred to the hospital with respiratory distress. The resident was admitted to the hospital with [REDACTED]. Further review of the resident's weight record indicated the resident's most recent weight was on [DATE]. At that time, Resident R196 was noted as 185.8 pounds, which reflected a continued weight loss. Review of Progress notes indicated that the resident's physician prescribed a hypocaloric, low volume, low rate tube feeding with the intention of reducing the resident's weight and risk of aspiration. Review of the clinical record dated [DATE], through [DATE], approximately eight months, revealed no documentation that the resident had not tolerated the tube feedings at the prescribed rates. In addition, there was no documentation that the facility had reassessed the resident for a possible trial of a gradual increase in the tube feeding rate to provide the resident with additional calories in the presence of ongoing significant and severe weight loss and the presence of multiple wounds. Additionally, the dietitian's clinical documentation dated [DATE], indicated that for Resident R196, a modest weight loss was desirable. Further review of the dietitian's notes indicated that the goal for this resident was a gradual weight loss which the dietitian defined as a loss of one to two pounds per month. Per resident R196's weight records this resident has sustained an actual loss of 118. 5 pounds in eight months. The facility failed to ensure that this resident who, had been identified as high nutritional risk, was provided with appropriate nutritional support in the presence of ongoing weight loss and multiple alterations in skin integrity. 28 PA Code: 201.14(a) Responsibility of licensee.
