An observation and interview on 07/15/2024 at 10:26 a.m., revealed Resident #26 had a feeding pump infusing Diabetisource AC at 25 ml/hr., with the water flush set at 150 ml/6hrs. At that time, Resident #26 typed I'm hungry, I'm losing weight on her phone, then typed I'm getting one capful of feeding an hour.

During that time, Resident #26's daughter entered the room, and said her mother's tube feeding was not enough, and she had lost weight. Resident #26's daughter explained she was here today to talk to someone about her mother's tube feeding, and being hungry.

An interview on 07/16/2024 at 2:49 p.m. with S4 RN Clinical Coordinator, revealed she was responsible for carrying out dietary recommendations for Resident #26 on 07/05/2024.

She indicated that Resident #26 was NPO with tube feedings, and getting bolus feedings of Diabetisource AC 250ml every 8 hours, and flush with 150ml of water every 8 hours.

S4 RN Clinical Coordinator stated that on 07/05/2024, S7 ADON requested S19 RD give her the rate for continuous feeding on a pump because Resident #26 was staying long-term.
