**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide assistance during dining for 1 of 2 sampled residents reviewed for nutrition (Resident #44).
Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Record review revealed Resident #44 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of muscle wasting, anemia, and depression. The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed Resident #44 has a Brief Interview of Metal Status (BIMS) score of 03, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Section GG of this MDS under eating showed that Resident #44 required supervision with touch-up assistance. In an observation conducted on 04/22/24 at 9:56 AM, Resident #44 was asleep in bed. Closer observation showed a breakfast tray untouched with the following food items: one slice of bread, two pieces of bacon, cereal, and one carton of milk. Continued observation did not show that the staff encouraged or queued Resident #44 to eat her breakfast meal. In an observation conducted on 04/22/24 at 12:06 PM, the staff finished passing all the lunch trays on the B-wing. At 12:07 PM, the Surveyor observed the resident did not have her tray, and asked Staff J, Registered Nurse (RN), why Resident #44 did not get her lunch tray. Staff J then said she would call the central kitchen to request Resident #44's lunch tray. Further observation revealed that her tray arrived from the kitchen at 12:14 PM. The lunch tray consisted of the following food items: Regular diet, chicken parmesan, linguine pasta, broccoli, garlic bread, and a fruit cup. At 12:24 PM, Staff J took the lunch tray untouched from Resident #44's room and left with the tray. In an interview conducted on 04/23/24 at 9:00 AM, Staff K, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated that Resident #44 ate about 25% of her breakfast meal and can eat independently with no issues. In an observation conducted on 04/23/24 at 11:56 AM, Resident #44 was asleep in her bed. The lunch tray arrived in the room and was placed near her. A continued observation at 12:15 PM revealed the tray untouched, with Resident #44 asleep in the bed. In an observation conducted on 04/23/24 at 12:28 PM, Resident #44 was asleep in her bed. The lunch tray was still untouched, and no staff was noted in the room encouraging or attempting to wake her up to eat her lunch meal.

In an observation conducted on 04/24/24 at 8:16 AM, Resident #44 was asleep in her bed. At 8:20 AM, Staff L, CNA, brought the breakfast tray into the room and set it up for Resident #44. In this observation, Staff L stated that Resident #44 can eat on her own with no issues and that she usually eats 100% of her meals when she has an appetite. Record review of the CNAs' tasks, under section 'task' for eating, revealed the following: on 04/22/24, Resident #44 ate 26% to 50% of her breakfast meal, and 26% to 50% of her lunch meal, which was not as observed by the surveyor. Review of the weight log revealed that Resident #44's weight was trending down from 149 pounds on 12/06/23 to 141.8 pounds on 04/04/24. A new weight of 139.6 pounds, was taken on 04/24/24. In an interview conducted on 04/24/24 at 10:09 AM with Staff A, Minimum Data Set Coordinator, she stated that Resident #44 is coded for supervision with touch-up assistance for eating. According to Staff A, Resident #44 needs to be watched over, placed tray closer for better access, and may be struggling or trying to reach the food items on the tray. State A stated it also means Resident #44 may need reminders to eat periodically. In an interview conducted on 04/24/24 at 12:00 PM, Staff A stated that she reassessed Resident #44 and that she needed supervision with touch-up assistance during dining.

order for 30 ml (milliliters) of Prostat (protein supplement) was added twice a day, which provided 200 calories and 30 grams of protein a day. Review of the Nutrition Risk Screen completed on 01/25/24 by the facility's Dietitian revealed the following: Resident #64 was on a pureed diet texture and receiving Mighty Shakes (nutritional supplements) twice a day with no proof of documentation provided showing that Resident #64 received the Mighty Shakes daily. On this note, Resident #64 ate between 0-75% of her meals, with estimated daily caloric needs between 1670 calories and 2000 calories and between 84 and 100 grams of protein. Review of Resident #64's weight log showed that from 02/05/24 to 03/06/24, the resident dropped from 145 pounds to 135 pounds in one month, a 6.9% weight loss. Review of the follow-up nutrition note dated 02/14/24 revealed Resident #64's weight was trending down, and a house 2.0 nutritional supplement was recommended, which provided an extra 240 calories and 10 grams of protein a day. A nutrition progress note dated 02/21/24 revealed Resident #64 had a severe weight loss of 11.1 % in 90 days. Intake of meals was noted between 0-75%, and Resident #64 was to be receiving a House 2.0 nutritional shake twice a day (no evidence it was provided twice daily) and was only receiving it once a day. Review of the Nutrition Risk Screen dated 02/28/24 revealed Resident #64's meal intake was between 26% and 50%, with weight trending down. It further revealed that Resident #64 received one house 2.0 supplement and 30 grams of protein daily. Estimated caloric needs were changed from 1910 calories to 2237 calories a day and 80 grams to 97 grams of protein a day. Resident #64 was on a diet by mouth, providing about 2000 calories and 100 grams of protein daily. The resident's 25% intake of meals with the nutritional supplements provided 940 calories a day and 65 grams of protein a day. The resident's 50% intake of meals with dietary supplements provided 1440 calories a day and 90 grams of protein a day. Review of the Nutrition Risk Screen completed on 03/07/24 showed that Resident #64 was still eating between 26% and 50% of her meals. A severe weight loss of 6.9% was noted, with pressure ulcer wounds noted to the sacrum and right hip areas. On this note, the facility's Dietitian recommended continuing the same nutritional supplements in place (Prostat twice a day and House 2.0 once a day). There were no other additional supplements were recommended or provided. The Dietitian recommended the insertion of the PEG in place, which was done on 03/29/24. Further review of the MAR revealed that the house 2.0 nutritional supplements were not documented as provided from 04/01/24 to 04/12/24. It further showed that an order for house 2.0 nutritional supplements increased to twice a day on 04/19/24, after poor intake of 0 to 50% of meals. Review of the nutrition progress note dated 03/13/24 revealed Resident #64's Body Mass Index (BMI) was at 21.5, which dropped from 23.7 on 01/25/24 to 21.5 on 03/13/24. The BMI range of 21.5 is within normal ranges (underweight range is 19 and below). On this note, the facility's Dietitian reported an intake of 0 to 50% of meals for Resident #64. Resident #64 was still receiving two scoops of Prostat (providing 200 calories and 30 grams of protein) and a house 2.0 nutritional supplement once a day, which was providing an extra 240 calories and 10 grams of protein. The facility's Dietitian did not recommend increasing the house 2.0 to twice or three times a day to provide additional calories and protein to Resident #64. Review of another follow-up nutritional progress note dated 03/20/24 revealed that Resident #64 had

a severe weight loss of 5.1% in one month and was still eating 0 to 50% of her meals. The resident was on a pureed texture diet and received two scoops of Prostat (200 calories and 30 grams of protein) and a house 2.0 nutritional supplement once a day, providing an extra 240 calories and 10 grams of protein. On this progress note, the facility's Dietitian failed to identify or document Resident #64 at moderate to severe malnutrition status as per ASPEN guidelines above. The facility's Dietitian failed to recommend an additional nutritional supplement that could have been given by nursing with the percent intake documented to aid with the 0-50% intake of meals. Review of the Nutrition Risk Screen dated 04/05/24 showed the following: Resident #64 was receiving tube feeding with Glucerna 1.5 at 65 ml an hour, which provided 1170 calories and 64 grams of protein, and was eating by mouth with 0 to 50% intake of meals. On this note, the facility's Dietitian recommended increasing the rate to 75 ml an hour for 12 hours because Resident #64 had inadequate oral intake with increased protein needs related to pressure injuries. The tube feeding Glucerna 1.5 at 75 ml an hour provides 1350 calories and 75 grams of protein. The Dietitian also recommended decreasing the protein supplements from twice a day to once a day, providing 15 grams extra protein a day instead of 30 grams of protein a day. Review of the Certified Nursing Assistant tasks for intake of meals showed the following percentages for Resident #64: from 03/25/24 to 04/23/24, 86 meals were consumed between 26% to 31% for a total of 86 meals documented. Review of the Weekly Pressure Wound Evaluation dated 02/08/24 and 03/15/24 showed a right hip pressure wound was acquired on 02/07/24. Review of the Weekly Pressure Wound Evaluation dated 02/21/24 and 03/21/24 showed a sacrum pressure wound was acquired on 02/05/24. Review of the nutrition progress note dated 04/23/24 revealed Resident #64 had a stage 3 pressure ulcer on the sacrum area and a stage 4 pressure ulcer on the right hip. Review of Resident #64's primary Physician's follow up assessments did not show that the nutritional status of Resident #64, the development of pressure ulcers, weight loss, and poor appetite were addressed. Further review did not show that an appetite stimulant was recommended or ordered for Resident #64. Review of the care plan initiated on 04/01/24 revealed Resident #64 received enteral feeding to supplement dietary intake. It showed tube feeding was administered as ordered to obtain adequate nutrition and hydration. A nutritional care plan revised on 04/08/24 showed that Resident #64 will have no signs and symptoms of malnutrition and will consume at least 25% of at least three meals daily. In an interview conducted on 04/24/24 at 12:53 PM with the facility's Dietitian, she stated that she placed an order for Jevity 1.2 (one day only 04/22/24) instead of Glucerna 1.5 for Resident #64 because they were out of the Glucerna 1.5 but did not adjust the tube feeding rate and hours, for the change in the tube feeding formulary. She acknowledged that Resident #64 had a severe weight loss of 6.9% from 02/05/24 to 03/06/24. When asked why she did not increase the House 2.0 nutritional supplement daily, she said she provided Resident #64 with a Mighty Shake supplement on the meal trays. She could not show documentation that the Mighty Shakes were provided on the meal trays or ordered on

the MAR According to the facility's Dietitian, the Mighty Shakes are provided on the trays, but the percent intake of these nutritional supplements was not documented. She stated this is why she went ahead and increased the house shake to 2.0 twice a day, which was on 04/19/24. These would have provided higher calories and ensured that they were given by nursing staff with the percentage of intake documented, which was better than the mighty shakes on the meal trays. When asked why she did not provide additional nutritional supplements until 04/19/24, she did not have an answer. The clinical Dietitian acknowledged that Jevity 1.2 at 75 ml an hour did not provide the same calories and protein as the Glucerna 1.5 at 75 ml an hour. She further said that she discussed restarting the tube feeding with Resident #64's family around March of 2024 and it was placed later on 03/29/24. She was then asked why Resident #64 did not have protein food items on her meal trays. The facility's Dietitian stated that Resident #64 had over 86 dislikes on her food preference list and that she only eats meat and chicken, which may not have been on the menu that day. The surveyor expressed concerns regarding the nutritional interventions that were not implemented in a timely manner from January 2024 to April 2024. An interview was conducted on 04/24/24 at 2:00 PM with the facility's Dietitian who stated that the tube feeding needs to be on hold during meal times for Resident #64 to eat her meals.
