These failures had the potential for unsafe and improper administration of medications. Findings : 1. Review of Resident 87's clinical record indicated, she was admitted to the facility with a diagnoses including encephalopathy (a disease that affects the function or structure of the brain). Review of Resident 87's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 5/13/19 indicated, she was cognitively intact.

(C) Discharge plans in the comprehensive care plan, as appropriate, in accordance with the requirements set forth in paragraph (c) of this section. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for one of 23 (Resident 90) when the interdisciplinary team (IDT, a team of different professional disciplines that work together to provide the greatest benefit for the resident) did not assess Resident 90 to accommodate his food preferences. This failure had the potential for a decline in quality of life. Findings: Review of Resident 90's clinical record, his minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 6/26/19, indicated Resident 90 is able to make his needs known and was cognitively intact. During an interview with Resident 90 on 7/14/19 at 11:24 a.m., he stated he wanted regular textured food and does not want pureed food.

During an interview and concurrent record review with the director of nursing (DON) on 716/19 at 5:13 p.m., he reviewed the nutrition assessment of the RD on 4/4/19 and confirmed record review above. The DON stated the IDT should have discussed Resident 90's food preference. The DON further reviewed Resident 90's clinical record and was unable to find an IDT discussion regarding Resident 90's food texture preference. During an interview with the social services director (SSD) on 7/17/19 at 8:21 a.m., she stated she could not find any IDT meeting that discussed Resident 90's preference for a food texture upgrade.

RN T also stated that when Resident 52's FSBG continued to drop from 42 mg/dl to 23 mg/dl, RN T did not administer glucagon because she did not know it was available in the emergency kit and so she called paramedics who gave dextrose (simple sugar).
