A dietary aide went back to the table and stated she just wanted the ice cream today. Staff D opened the magic cup ice cream, encouraged her to eat it, which the resident did independently. The RN left and the resident continued eating. At 12:50 PM, Staff D returned and asked the resident if she was good. Resident #16 stated, I'm not eating much of this.

When asked the process for obtaining weights related to the frequency, the RD explained a new resident was weighed at least weekly the first month, and that all residents were weighed at minimum monthly. The RD explained she uses the weights, the intake records, her observations, and any voiced concerns as a guide if weights are needed more often than monthly. When asked what interventions besides the nutritional supplements have been tried for Resident #16, the RD stated she has asked the resident her preferences. The RD further explained if the resident is not eating well, her staff will ask the resident if she wants something different. The RD stated the staff always check on her and she can have whatever she wants. When asked if they have tried sitting with the resident and encouraging her, the RD stated she believes they have tried that in the past but didn't think it worked. The RD confirmed there was no current restorative program at the facility, which would be used to encourage meal consumption for those that needed extra guidance. During an interview on 11/15/22 at 1:39 PM, Staff H, OT, explained Resident #16 was being seen for a decline in dressing, toileting, and bathing.
