Enteral Feeding Not Provided as Ordered and Tube Feeding Bottle Not Labeled

Short Summary

A resident with dysphagia, severe cognitive impairment, and a feeding tube did not receive enteral formula as ordered, and the MAR lacked documentation of the amount infused each shift. Staff observed the tube feeding running at one point and not infusing at other times, and an LPN stated the feeding started late because she did not check the order at the start of her shift. The DON also observed that the tube feeding bottle was not labeled with the resident's name, date/time hung, or infusion rate.
