Failure to Serve Ordered Diet Textures: Multiple residents on mechanical soft and pureed diets were served foods that did not match their ordered textures. Meat was observed in pulled, over-sized pieces instead of finely ground or chopped, vegetables and fruit were served in larger-than-ordered pieces, and a resident on a puree diet received tapioca pudding with visible pearls. The dietary manager acknowledged the food was not prepared to the required texture and that staff were not consistently processing or chopping items as ordered.
A resident with COPD, malnutrition, dysphagia, and a G-tube was not consistently placed on EBP as required. Staff observations showed no EBP signage, no PPE at the doorway, and no isolation bins in the room, and a CNA provided care without gown PPE. The DON stated the resident had been taken off EBP after a surgical wound healed and was unsure whether the G-tube still required EBP, despite the facility policy stating feeding tubes require EBP.
Failure to Serve Ordered Diet Textures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide foods in the ordered texture for multiple residents on mechanical soft and pureed diets. During lunch meal observations, residents ordered mechanical soft diets received meats that appeared pulled apart into pieces over an inch long rather than ground or finely chopped as directed by the facility recipes and diet orders. The dietary manager stated the staff knew they were not going to have enough pork for lunch and switched to beef when the pork ran out, and later stated the meat probably was not mechanically altered enough and that staff tended to be shy about putting enough meat in the food processor because they felt it balls up. Residents with active orders for mechanical soft diets, including residents with diagnoses such as cerebral infarction, encephalopathy, intellectual disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, dementia, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, were observed receiving food that did not match the ordered texture. Mechanical soft vegetables were served as carrot slices rather than chopped pieces, and fruit crumble contained peach pieces over an inch to approximately two inches long instead of bite-sized pieces. The facility’s own recipes directed that meat be pulsed or ground to the size and texture of finely ground beef and that carrots and fruit be chopped into bite-sized pieces. A resident on a pureed diet with nectar thick liquids was observed receiving tapioca pudding with visible seeds and tapioca pearls. The dietary manager stated that residents on a puree diet should not receive tapioca pudding unless the pudding is pureed. The resident had diagnoses including dementia, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, hypertension, seizure disorder, and no natural teeth or dentures, and the active order required a pureed texture with nectar thick liquids and hand feeding as needed. The observations and record review showed that the facility did not consistently provide food prepared in the texture ordered by the physician for multiple residents.
Failure to Maintain Enhanced Barrier Precautions for a Resident With a G-Tube
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions for one resident who had a G-tube and diagnoses including COPD, protein-calorie malnutrition, and dysphagia. The resident’s record showed a BIMS score of 14 and that he required partial/moderate assistance with eating. His care plan identified that he required tube feeding when he ate 50% or less of meals and that he was at risk for complications. The order summary also documented orders related to flushing and verifying placement of the G-tube, along with an order to initiate EBP that was later shown as discontinued and then re-initiated. Observation and record review showed that the resident’s room did not have EBP signage, PPE outside the doorway, or isolation bins inside the room on multiple observations. On one observation, a CNA and another staff member took the resident to the restroom without donning a gown or other PPE. On another observation, an LPN performed a G-tube flush after first donning a gown, gloves, and mask, then measured the tube and flushed it with 60 cc of water. The DON stated that the resident had been taken off EBP after the surgical wound on his hip healed, and he was unsure whether the resident should still have been on EBP because of the G-tube. The facility policy stated that EBP applies to residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices, including feeding tubes, regardless of MDRO colonization status, and that signs should alert staff and visitors to the precautions required. The policy also stated EBP is intended to remain in place for the duration of the resident’s stay or until the wound resolves or the device is discontinued. The DON stated he would put the resident back on EBP, and later observation showed EBP signage and PPE available at the resident’s door.
