(#97) Findings: Resident #97, a [AGE] year-old male was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from an acute care hospital. His diagnoses including cerebral infarction, hypertension, diabetes type II, hemiplegia/hemiparesis following cerebrovascular disease affecting left non-dominant side, atrial fibrillation, and aphasia. Review of the resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, with Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 7/22/23, indicated the resident's cognition was moderately impaired with a Brief Interview For Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12/15. The assessment indicated the resident required extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. He had impairment in functional limitation in range of motion (ROM) to one side of his upper and lower extremities. Physician order dated 10/14/22 revealed the resident could have restorative/maintenance programs as indicated. Review of the resident's Physical Therapy (PT) Discharge Summary revealed resident #97 had PT from 10/15/22 to 12/18/22 and was discharged to an Alternate site/setting for continued services. Discharge recommendation was for Restorative Nursing Program, and the document read Prognosis to maintain CLOF (current level of function) was excellent with participation in RNP. On 8/16/23 at 2:09 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the Rehab department determined the need for a resident to be on the RNP. She explained that Therapy would then educate and train the Restorative Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to ensure they knew how to execute the program. She confirmed that she would be the person to oversee the RNP, the restorative program would be given to the DON, signed off by the DON and nurse, and would then be implemented.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 30 days. The RD acknowledged she could not verify if resident #70's weight stabilized as no weight was entered since 6/27/23. She stated she would need a current weight in order to determine if intervention was effective. The RD verified the facility held weight meetings every week. She clarified the committee had discussed monthly weights, but had not specifically discussed resident #70's weight loss. On 8/17/23 at 2:21 PM, the RD stated a current weight had been obtained for resident #70. She reported resident #70's current weight was 102.5 which was a decrease of 5.09 percent from her previous weight making a 9.93 percent weight loss since 5/30/23. The RD confirmed resident #70 was still losing weight. On 8/17/23 at 4:07 PM, the RD explained she usually provided a recommendation form to the Director of Nursing (DON) for supplements to be entered into the EMR. She stated the (DON) or Unit Manager should have entered the order for the health shake when recommended on 7/08/23. She explained if put into orders it would appear on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) so nurses could document the percentage consumed. The RD reviewed physician orders for resident #70 and verified there was no order for the house shake. She stated it did not appear the recommendation was implemented. She acknowledged if it was not on the MAR, there was no documented evidence that resident #70 received the health shake as recommended. On 8/17/23 at 2:52 PM, the DON confirmed the restorative aides were responsible for obtaining weights and she would input them into the EMR. She acknowledged no weight had been entered since 6/27/23 and explained resident #70 would sometimes refuse to be weighed. The DON reviewed the weight sheet provided by the restorative aides which showed resident #70 refused to be weighed twice on 8/03/23 and refused to be weighed 3 times on 8/10/23. The DON verified the facility held weight meetings weekly. She explained the weight meetings had not been held since February 2023 and only restarted two weeks ago. She reviewed the minutes from the weekly weight meetings for the last two weeks and reported resident #70 was not discussed during those meetings. She clarified a progress note would have been entered in resident #70's EMR if her weight loss had been discussed during the weight meeting. On 8/17/23 at 4:39 PM, the DON stated she did not remember getting a recommendation from the RD for health shakes for resident #70. She reviewed resident #70's medical record and verified the order was not entered. The DON could not provide documentation to show resident #70 received house shakes or the amount consumed. She acknowledged the recommendation was not followed and it was unlikely resident #70 was provided with health shakes as recommended.
