Findings include:Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 10/2025 with diagnoses including GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and choledochoduodenal fistula (a rare complication often caused by a perforated duodenal ulcer) requiring Resident 1 to have nutrition delivered via tube feedings (the delivery of nutrients through a feeding tube directly into the stomach, duodenum or jejunum).Resident 1's 10/31/25 Physician Orders included the following orders:-Administer free water BID via feeding tube at a rate of 35 ml/hr for 18 hours per day and feeding tube off for six hours per day, and-Enteral feeding BID, administer Peptamen AF (a nutritional formula for individuals with impaired gastrointestinal function) via feeding tube for 18 hours per day to provide 2160 calories over a 24-hour period, and feeding tube off six hours per day.Resident 1's 11/5/25 Progress Note stated the resident's water flush was administered at 100 ml/hr instead of 35 ml/hr as ordered.

Peptamen 1.5 was obtained.

Staff 25 stated the resident was administered Peptamen 1.5, instead of Peptamen AF. Staff 25 stated he should have double checked orders prior to administration. On 11/20/25 at 2:28 PM, Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 26 (Regional Director of Operations) confirmed there was a medication error with Resident 1's water flush order, and that Staff 25 had administered the wrong tube feeding formula for Resident 1.
