Summary
A resident with dementia and dysphagia had a physician order requiring administration of Jevity 1.5 nutritional supplement via bolus feeding if the resident consumed 50% or less of a meal. On a specified date, a certified medication aide (CMA) failed to administer the prescribed breakfast and lunch tube feedings to the resident, despite documenting that the feedings had been given. Review of records and camera footage confirmed that the CMA did not enter the resident's room after breakfast or lunch to provide the required supplemental feedings. The facility substantiated the neglect allegation based on these findings.
