Based on interview and document review, the
facility failed to provide required nutrition and
hydration care and/or services to five of 14
sampled Residents (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)
when:
1) Resident 1's initial plan of care did not
include specific interventions to prevent weight
loss and dehydration, known from his medical
history to be risks for the resident,
2) After a severe weight loss of more than 15
pounds (6.9% of his previous weight) in a
week, Resident 1 was not assessed by nurses
in a timely manner and the physician was not
promptly notified,
3) Plan of care interventions were not
implemented or reassessed to prevent further
weight loss and decline, contributing to an
additional loss of 20 pounds (9.7% of Resident
1's previous weight), and
4) Following the identification of severe weight
loss for Residents 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, written care
plans were not personalized and lacked
parameters and identified timeframes for the
evaluation or the success of interventions.
These failures contributed to severe weight
loss for Resident 1, the potential for inadequate
nutritional intake resulting in significant health
problems for Residents 2, 3, 4 and 5, and
possible significant harm up to and including
the death of residents.
Findings:
1) Review of the "Admission Record" indicated
Resident 1 came to the facility on 6/20/20 with
diagnoses including heart failure, diabetes
mellitus (a disease characterized by high blood
sugar levels) with chronic kidney disease,
anemia (lack of sufficient healthy red blood
cells to carry adequate oxygen to body
tissues), hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid),

The initial care plan did not include specific
guidelines for identifying the presence of a
problem with appetite, meal intake or weight
loss, or when and how staff should intervene
for suspected problems, including physician
notification and the frequency of weights.
The facility's RD initially assessed Resident 1
on 6/26/20. In the 11:11 a.m., 6/26/20 initial
"Nutritional Risk Assessment," the RD noted in
the "Identification of Risk Factors" section that
prior to his admission, Resident 1 had
previously experienced an unplanned weight
loss of " >5% [greater than 5 per cent] in 1
month; [or] >7.5% in 3 months; [or] >10% in 6
months." The resident's "Current Food and
Fluid Intake" was described as "<50%." The
"Pressure Sore & [and] Other Skin Condition"
and "Swallowing difficulties" sections were
marked "No." Resident 1 was noted to have
"Nutritional Risk Related to...CHF [congestive
heart failure]...T2DM [Type 2 diabetes mellitusadult onset diabetes],
Depression...Hypothyroidism...Anemia, Adult
FTT, Anorexia...Generalized Muscle
Weakness, Poor appetite/intake ongoing
several months, reported significant weight
loss." Nutritional goals included improved
intake of "51 to 100%" of meals taken, 2160
milliliters [ml, a unit of measure] of daily fluid
intake, and "no sig wt variance x 90 days [no
significant weight variance for 90 days]."
During a 12:58 p.m., 9/8/20 interview, the RD
indicated that difficulty swallowing was also a
risk for developing a nutritional problem. She
indicated Resident 1 was at risk for further
weight loss at the time of her initial
assessment.

In a 1 p.m., 9/11/20 email communication, the
RD calculated that Resident 1's average meal
intake in the period immediately prior to her
initial assessment, 6/21/20 - 6/25/20, had been
only 25% and his fluid intake from meals
averaged only 600 ml daily.
In an 8:34 a.m., 9/9/20 interview, the RD stated
she was not aware Resident 1 had been
admitted with a pressure injury. The RD
indicated that with pressure injuries, residents
often need "increased protein in the diet,"
"multivitamins, Vitamin C, and protein
supplements."
In a 10:06 a.m., 9/15/20 interview, the RD
confirmed that on 6/26/20 she had set a goal of
"51% - 100%" for Resident 1's meal intake.
However, she described the intake goal range
as "just a reference for my progress" which was
"not typically communicated to nursing."
No additions to or changes in the nutritional
care plan were noted in the record by the RD
on the initial care plan.
On 7/9/20, two interventions were added to
Resident 1's nutritional care plan:
"Nutritional approaches per RD
recommendations and ordered by physician,"
and
"Encourage good nutrition and hydration in
order to promote healthier skin."
During the 9/9/20 interview, the RD
acknowledged that the initial care plan did not
address Resident 1's nutritional risk. The RD
noted that she "could have added 'at nutritional
risk' to the care plan."
2) Review of Resident 1's "Weight Summary"
revealed a weight of 221.6 pounds on 7/6/20.

On 7/12/20, his weight was measured at 206.3,
a "loss of 15.3# [pounds]/6.9% in one week"
according to 1:23 p.m., 7/16/20 "IDT
[Interdisciplinary Team] Progress Notes Weight Variance & Nutritional Condition."
In a 12:58 p.m., 9/8/20 interview, the RD stated
this was considered a significant weight loss for
Resident 1.
Review of 7/12/20 to 7/16/20 "Assessments,"
"Progress Notes" and "Miscellaneous" sections
of the medical record were reviewed and
reflected no further documentation of Resident
1's weight loss until the 7/16/20 IDT notes
which stated, "Appetite remains poor. Still with
coccyx [lower back] stage 2 pressure wound.
Started on health shake [a calorie-dense
dietary supplement] TID [three times daily].
Weekly weights and RD consult." There was no
documentation indicating a review of
percentages of meal intake, snacks and fluids
had taken place. In addition, no plan was
outlined to address possible causes of weight
loss and review preferences for intake with the
resident.
A 1:58 p.m., 7/16/20 "SBAR
[Situation/Background/Assessment or

physician had been notified of the change prior

should be notified of a significant weight loss
"as soon as you note the weight loss."

Management of Resident Weights" policy
indicated, "The DNS [Director of Nursing
Services] or licensed nurse will...Notify the
physician and dietitian of significant weight
changes; and...Document notification in the
nurses' notes...."
The 1/1/17 "Change of Condition Notification"
policy reflected, "The Facility will promptly

Physician...when the resident endures a
significant change in their condition...The
Licensed Nurse will notify the resident's
Attending Physician when there is...A change
in weight of five pounds or more within a 30day period...."
3) After the 7/12/20 weight loss, the RD
reassessed the resident on 7/17/20. In a 10:54
a.m., 7/17/20 progress note, the RD noted that
Resident 1 should continue to be weighed
weekly and that oral intake and weights should
be monitored.
During the 10:06 a.m., 9/15/20 interview, the
DON confirmed that IDT intended weekly
weights of Resident 1 to continue after the
7/12/20 weight loss. In the same interview, the
RD confirmed her expectation that weekly
weights would continue after 7/17/20 for at
least an additional four weeks and until the
resident was stable.
Weekly weights recommended by the IDT and
RD were not documented after that time,
however.

After the 7/12/20 weight loss, Resident 1 was
next weighed on 7/19/20 with a documented
measurement of 207.9 pounds. Another weight
was not noted until 5:06 p.m., 8/7/20, after the
Department's 12:35 p.m., 8/7/20 visit. The
resident's weight was measured at 187.8
pounds, a loss of an additional 20.1 pounds
(9.7% decrease since 7/19/20) later noted by
the RD in a 6:45 p.m., 8/13/20 "Progress Note"
to be a significant (severe) 15.3% weight loss
over 30 days.
In an 10:06 a.m., 9/15/20 interview, the DON
confirmed there were no weights documented
in the medical record between 7/19/20 - 8/7/20.
In a 2:11 p.m., 8/13/20 interview, the RD stated
she did not reassess Resident 1's nutritional
status during weekly 7/24/20, 7/31/20 or 8/7/20
onsite or remote facility consultation days.
During a 12:58 p.m., 9/8/20 interview, the RD
indicated she did not automatically reassess
residents with significant weight loss on her
next facility workday the following week. She
stated she "would assume [resident weights]
were stable if they weren't triggered on the
Weight Report," a tool used by nursing
leadership to identify residents with significant
weight changes. The RD reflected she
"probably should have followed up" on
Resident 1 after his initial weight loss.
In a 3:02 p.m., 8/21/20 interview, the DON
stated it would be an expectation that after
having consulted for a significant weight loss,
the RD would reevaluate the following week to
determine if planned interventions had been
successful.
In a 1:35 p.m., 8/13/20 interview, the RD stated
she was not aware of the resident's second
weight loss which occurred six days earlier.

The RD assessed the resident soon after the
interview and in a 2:11 p.m., 8/13/20 interview
stated Resident 1's appetite had been
"variable" and hadn't significantly improved
since his admission. The RD identified that
Resident 1 didn't like the texture of the health
shakes ordered on 7/16/20 and that a
substitution would be requested. In addition,
the RD recommended additional staff
assistance with the resident's meal, snack and
fluid intake as needed, and increasing the
frequency of Resident 1's iron and Vitamin C
supplements.
In a 12:58 p.m., 9/8/20 interview, the RD noted
that Resident 1's intake didn't improve after the
initial 7/6/20 - 7/12/20 weight loss. The RD
reported, "He had more refusals [of meals]. He
didn't like the food." The RD stated of the
7/20/20 - 8/7/20 period, "There were lots of '0 25%s' [meals in which the resident ate less
than 25% of the serving]. There were lots of
refusals [of meals]." The RD indicated snack
intake during this time included "some refusals
at the end of July and more refusals in early
August." Supplement intake decreased with the
resident "refusing health shakes at the
beginning of August."
In a 1 p.m., 9/11/20 email communication, the
RD calculated that Resident 1's meal intake
between 7/20/20 - 8/7/20 averaged only 33% of
the meals served and 25% of the snacks
offered.
On 7/16/20, Resident 1's physician ordered 4ounce (120 ml) sugar-free health shakes, a
dietary supplement, three times daily. Review
of the Medication Administration Record (MAR)
indicated that on 8/4/20, the resident began to
consume less than the intended 12 ounces
(360 ml) daily. Intake amounts were as follows:

admission...then weekly for four (4) weeks and
monthly thereafter. Additional weights may be
obtained at the discretion of the licensed nurse
or the interdisciplinary team (IDT)...Significant
weight changes are...5% in one (1)
month...Residents with significant weight
change will be weighed at least weekly and
discussed at the Resident at Risk or other
clinical meeting to determine possible causes
of weight...loss including goals for care...The
IDT care plan will be updated to reflect
individualized goals and approaches for
managing the weight change...."
4) Review of care plans for Residents 1, 2, 3, 4,
and 5 reflected failures to 1) establish
monitoring parameters for nutritional care
interventions, including conditions for which the
licensed nurse, RD, and/or physician should be
notified, and 2) set target dates by which
interventions should be reevaluated for
success.
During an 8:34 a.m., 9/9/20 interview the RD
stated that "nurses and the Dietary Manager
take on care planning for the most part." She
added that she had "the liberty to add" to the
care plan as needed.
