Staff E then opened the supplies packaging, dated the dry dressing foam, grabbed the trash can, placed it behind her, continued with the same pair of gloves and pulled the resident's overbed table up. Staff E continued to wear the same gloves that she had touched the contaminated trash can and the table with, and placed her contaminated gloved hands on top of the clean gauzes located in the clean field. Staff E removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene, donned gloves, returned to the resident's bedside, removed the resident's brief, placed a drape under the resident's buttocks, and removed the soiled wound dressing. Observation revealed Resident #16's wound was bleeding a moderate amount of blood on the drape. Staff E removed her gloves, performed hand hygiene, and donned gloves. Continued observation revealed Staff E was ready to clean the resident's wound with the gauzes that she contaminated with her gloved hands prior. Staff E was noted to also be wearing a bracelet on her right wrist with several charms dangling, the charms were not inside her gloves. Continued observation revealed Staff E reached for the normal saline jar that was located behind the tray containing the gauzes and her bracelet charms were observed touching the clean gauzes. Staff E was stopped and was apprised of the observations. She stated she did not realize she had touched the gauzes with her gloves. Staff E was asked to get new gauzes because she had contaminated the field. Observation revealed Staff E cleaned the resident's sacrum wound with a gauze and her dangling bracelet charms were touching the blood collected on the drape underneath the resident's buttock. At 10:30 AM, Staff E stated there was no paper towel in the room. Observation revealed Staff E was provided with several loose paper towel by a staff member.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a timely nutritional assessment, provide dietary supplements, and ensure consistent weight documentation for 2 of 2 sampled residents reviewed for nutrition, Resident #93 and #28. Resident #93 had a significant weight loss and had a pressure ulcer, which would indicate a need for increased nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included: A review of the facility's policy titled, Weight Management, revised October 2017, showed that weights are completed on admission and readmission, then weekly for 4 weeks, then monthly unless the physician orders more frequently. Weight loss with 5 percent or more in 30 days should be documented in the progress note and the care plan updated with interventions. 1. Record review revealed Resident #93 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include anemia, type 2 diabetes, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and unspecific protein-calorie malnutrition. A review of the admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 09/30/21, showed Resident #93 needed extensive assistance of one person for eating. A physician order, dated 09/30/21, documented, weekly weights times 4 every 7 days for 4 weeks. A review of the weight log revealed an admission [DATE]) weight documented at 118.0 pounds, and another weight was taken on 10/04/21 at 118.0 pounds. No other weights were recorded between 10/04/21 and 10/25/21. The care plan, dated 10/06/21, showed that Resident #93 is at nutritional risk related to significant weight loss and a mechanically altered diet. The Nutritional Evaluation Comprehensive, dated 09/30/21, revealed no recommendations for dietary supplements to be provided for Resident #93. Review of the progress note dated 10/21/21 showed that Resident #93 has an unstageable right buttock wound, right anterior foot wound, and right heel wound. It further showed that a Prostat sugar-free (protein supplement) is given for wound healing to Resident #93. During an observation on 10/24/21 at 12:52 PM, Resident #93 was in her room eating her lunch meal. A closer observation did not show any nutritional supplements provided with the lunch meal. During an observation on 10/24/21 at 12:20 PM, Resident #93 was in her room eating her lunch meal. The closer observation did not show any nutritional supplements provided with the lunch meal. In an observation conducted on 10/26/21 at 9:10 AM, Resident #93 was in her room eating her breakfast meal. Closer observation showed Staff B (Certified Nursing Assistant) helping Resident #93 with her breakfast. In this observation, Staff B stated that Resident #93 is eating very well and usually consumes 100 percent of her meals. A review of the task section in the electronic system for a percentage of food consumed showed that between 10/13/21 and 10/25/21, Resident %93 ate only 11 meals at 100 percent. In an interview conducted on 10/26/21 at 10:15 AM with Staff D (Restorative Certified Nurse Assistant), she stated weekly weights are taken on Mondays; and monthly weights are taken on the first day of the month. They use 2 Hoyer lift scales on each unit. Staff D reported that the Dietitian gives her the list of all residents who needed to be weighed weekly. She then gives it back to the

Dietitian when she is done. She said, she could input the weighs into the electronic system. A copy of the weights is also given to the unit manager. All resident's weights are taken upon admission and for 4 weeks after. In an interview conducted on 10/26/21 at 12:06 PM with Staff C (Restorative Certified Nurse Assistant), she stated weekly weights are taken on Mondays. And monthly weights are taken on the first day of the month. Staff C reported working mainly on the C wing and showed surveyors the weights recorded on 10/04/21 for the C wing. A closer observation of the written weight log showed that Resident #93 recorded weight was 96 pounds and not 118 pounds (lbs) as recorded by the Dietitian in the electronic system. Staff C confirmed that the facility's Dietitian is the one who provides her with the list of residents who are on weekly weights. In an observation conducted on 10/26 21 at 12:35 PM, the surveyor requested a new weight be taken on Resident #93. Staff B and Staff C (Restorative Certified Nursing Assistants) were observed using a Hoyer lift with serial number 04H790688 to take the weight on Resident #93. The first weight was recorded at 110.0 pounds, and a second reweight was noted at 108.0 pounds. This was a 8.47 percent weight loss which is significant weight loss. In an interview conducted on 10/26/21 at 12:50 PM with the facility's Maintenance Director, he reported that two Hoyer lift scales are used to take the weights on all residents. One is located on the C wing, and the other one is located on the B wing. When asked the last time the two Hoyer lift scales were calibrated, he said, on March 30, 2021, of this year. He further said that the two scales were supposed to be calibrated 3 weeks ago but were not. He called to request the outside company to come in for the scheduled maintenance that was missed but was told that they do not have anyone available to come to calibrate the scales. In an interview conducted on 12/26/21 at 1:56 PM with the facility's clinical Dietitian, she reported that she is in constant communication with the nurse manager regarding who has an order for weekly weights. She said she provides a list to Staff C and Staff D on a Monday, and they will take the weekly weights for the residents on the list. The completed list is given to her the next day on a Tuesday. The Dietitian reported that the nursing supervisor is the one who puts the weights in the electronic system. A weight loss that is more than 5 percent in 30 days is considered significant weight loss. She said she would try and address the weight loss that same day as it is identified. In this interview, she acknowledged that the weight loss that was missed on Resident #93, was an oversight on her part. She also said that she did not know that Resident #93 had an order for weekly weights but now she knows. The surveyor expressed concern regarding the Prostat supplements not given to Resident #93. 2. Review of the facility's policy titled, Nutrition Assessment and Progress Note, dated January 2021, documented the following: Assessment and documentation of nutritional concerns is recorded in a timely manner in the medical record. Progress notes are completed for intermittent documentation as needed and with changes in nutrition status or care. Review of the facility's policy titled, Weight Management, dated January 2021, documented the following: The dietitian or authorized clinical designee, in conjunction with the facility interdisciplinary team (IDT), will monitor and evaluate resident weights for significant changes or other changes that may indicate changing nutritional status. The dietitian will document assessment of weight change and interventions. The dietitian will reassess the nutritional needs and intake of the resident with a weight change. The dietitian and/or designee will track resident weights monthly to ensure

This showed that Resident #28 experienced a severe weight loss of 13.2% between 07/04/21 and 08/05/21. This further showed that Resident #28's weight continued to trend downwards from 08/05/21 to 09/02/21. Review of the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Tasks for 'Amount Eaten', dated 09/27/21 - 10/25/21, showed that Resident #28 had a varied oral intake with mostly a 25-50% consumption of her meals. Review of the Nutrition Progress Note, dated 09/01/21, documented that Resident #28 experienced a 15% weight loss in 30 days and had a varied oral intake. The RD recommended Medpass (nutritional supplement) twice per day for additional calories. This showed that an assessment regarding Resident #28's severe weight loss of 13.2% was not assessed by the RD until 27 days after the weight loss had occurred. During an interview conducted on 10/26/21 at 1:59 PM, the RD stated that she was responsible for conducting comprehensive assessments, quarterly assessments, monthly assessments, and progress notes. She reported that all of her assessments and notes were documented in PointClickCare (electronic charting system). She said, residents would be considered to be at high nutritional risk if they were on dialysis, had wounds, or experienced weight loss. When asked what would be considered a significant change in weight, she stated that a significant change in weight would be 2% in one week, 5% in 30 days, 7.5% in 90 days, and greater than 10% in 180 days. She further said, PointClickCare would notify her of any residents that experienced a significant change in weight. If a resident experienced a significant change in weight, she stated that she would follow up with them the same day. When asked about Resident #28, the RD stated that she was considered to be at high nutritional risk. When asked about the severe weight loss of 13.2% between 07/04/21 - 08/05/21, the RD stated that her and the Director of Nursing noticed in the beginning of September 2021 that an assessment was not done to address this weight loss. She further stated, I did my interventions and documented on that day and put a Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement plan in place. It was discussed with the Interdisciplinary Team that same day. It was an oversight. 2.
