Based on policy review, medical record review and staff and physician interviews, nursing staff failed to evaluate and supervise patients' nutritional needs as evidenced by failing to assess nutritional needs, failing to monitor food consumption and ability to swallow, follow care plan interventions and/or failing to notify the physician of difficulty swallowing for 6 of 7 sampled records reviewed (#3, #5, #6, #8, #2 and #10).
Review of the hospital policy, "Assessment/Reassessment", revised 04/2009, revealed, "POLICY: An initial screening or assessment of each patient's (neonate to advanced adulthood) physical...will be performed. PURPOSE: To determine the need for care, the type of care to be provided, and the need for any further assessment. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: ...IV. A Registered Nurse will assess the patient's need for nursing care and prioritize these needs in all settings in which nursing care is provided. It is the responsibility of the RN to initiate a plan of care that accurately reflects the patient's condition. ...VI. Patients (age 13 years to advanced adult) admitted for service will be screened for nutritional risks by the nursing staff. Those patients found to be a nutritional risk will need a nutrition consult. The dietician will be notified and an assessment and plan for nutrition therapy will be developed and implemented. A Dietary Consult will be ordered for patients with any of the following: Tube feeding/TPN (total parenteral nutrition), Unintentional Weight Loss > (greater than) 10 lbs (pounds)/ (per) 1 month, Poor Oral Intake/1 week, Difficulty Chewing/Swallowing, Frequent Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea > 5 days, NPO (nothing by mouth) > 3 days, Needs Special Diet Information, New Onset Diabetes, Complication of Pregnancy..., Decubitus Ulcer... REASSESSMENT: XXIII. Each unit/department (inpatient/outpatient) will perform patient reassessments to ensure care decisions remain appropriate. These will be done at a minimum: ...D. When a significant change occurs in the patient's condition...".
Hospital administrative staff were asked for a policy that addressed aspiration precautions and presented a "Swallow Screen Evaluation for the Stroke Patient" form dated 05/17/2010. Review of this form revealed "PURPOSE: This evaluation tool is to be completed by the nurse performing the initial Stroke Assessment to assist in determining the patient's risk for aspiration. Note: Keep HOB (head of bed) at 90 degrees for meals and for RN (registered nurse) Swallow Screen Procedure. INSTRUCTIONS: Evaluate the patient's response to each indicator. Circle appropriate responses from Columns A or B. Column A - If all responses are in Column A, feed patient with caution. Column B - If any indicators are circled, keep patient NPO (nothing by mouth). Obtain order for speech evaluation from physician. Re-evaluate with change in patient condition." Review of the form revealed 13 indicators to be evaluated with responses to be circled in Column A and Column B. Review of the indicators included "3. Facial Weakness, 8. Voice Quality, 9. Patient complains of difficulty swallowing, 11. Swallows sips of water (teaspoon of water), 12. Swallows 60 ml (milliliters) of water (4 tablespoons) and 13. Swallows food."

Interview revealed the goal was to control the patient's blood pressure using the minimum medication needed to maintain the patient's blood pressure below the identified parameters. Interview revealed consistent blood pressure readings below the physician's ordered parameters without decreasing the Nitroglycerine infusion would not be consistent with the physician's orders.
Interview on 06/22/2011 at 1440 with a nursing administrative staff member revealed a Nitroglycerine infusion should be titrated according to the physician's orders. The staff member reviewed Patient #3's medical record and confirmed the physician's order to titrate the Nitroglycerine to maintain a systolic blood pressure below 160 and diastolic blood pressure below 94. The staff member reviewed the patient's blood pressures and Nitroglycerine infusion administration. The staff member stated nursing staff failed to follow the physician's orders by failing to decrease the Nitroglycerine infusion when the patient's blood pressure was below the identified parameters.
