Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1) care plan was initiated to indicate Resident 1 ' s current therapeutic diet (a meal plan that
controls the intake of certain foods or nutrients) ordered for nothing by mouth (NPO).
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1 to not receive specific care and services specific to
Resident 1 ' s needs in accordance to the facility ' s policy and procedure titled, Care Plans,
Comprehensive Person-Centered Care Planning.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record [AR] indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE], with diagnoses that included adult failure to thrive (a decline in an adult ' s physical and mental
state) and Alzheimer ' s disease (a brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills).
A review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical Examination (HPE, a comprehensive physician ' s note
regarding the assessment of the Patient ' s health status) dated 4/26/2025, the HPE indicated Resident 1
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Telephone Orders dated 4/24/2025, indicated an order for NPO, due to Resident
1 not being able to swallow food or medications.
A review of Resident 1 ' s active Care plans, the care plans did not indicate Resident 1 was NPO.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/2025 at 2:45PM with Registered Nurse (RN1) 1,
Residents 1 ' s Care Plans were reviewed. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 did not have a care plan to address
her NPO status. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 was NPO upon admission since Resident 1 was unable to
swallow any food or liquids. RN 1 stated Resident 1 was at high risk for aspiration (food or fluids entering
the airway) and that if Resident 1 received any food or fluid by mouth, the food or liquidcould enter her
lungs and cause Resident 1 to choke.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/30/2025 at 4 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1 ' s Care Plans were reviewed. DON stated that Resident 1 did not have a care plan to address
her NPO status. DON stated that his nursing staff should have initiated a care plan to address Resident 1
NPO status immediately to avoid Resident 1 being given any food or fluids that could potentially cause
harm.
