S2 added that staff would periodically refill the glass (that was kept beside the bed) throughout the day and encourage R1 to drink water. S3 shared that staff would sit with R1 during meals to assist R1 to eat and drink. S4 added that when S4 worked the night shift, S4 would always see R1 in the dining room for dinner. R1 would eat the majority of the food and R1 would drink coffee and water with R1s meal. S4 said R1 would ask for a snack and staff would give R1 half of a sandwich or something else R1 would request. R1 often had a snack with a glass of water during the evening before staff brought R1 back to the room for bed. The nurse practitioner (N1) of R1 was also interviewed and it was shared that staff would encourage R1 to eat and drink fluids and assist R1 when needed. N1 said R1 was having difficulty feeding himself/herself and drinking due to R1s weakening condition. Staff would sit with R1 during meals to assist R1 and ensure R1 ate and drank fluids. N1 said the last time N1 visited R1 before R1 went to the hospital. Although R1 was sleepy and appeared weak, all R1s vital signs were normal, and did not see any signs of dehydration. Based on interviews, observations and records review, the department has determined that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Report is reviewed and copy is provided.
