When we pick up the resident for skilled services and endorse them to restorative it is for mobility, bed mobility and range of motion. Restorative would be responsible for getting them out of bed. We assigned her a chair on admission as part of our screening. Whenever she was admitted was when she got her chair, the rest is up to restorative.

The order is to be written as a range of fluid by cc. #3 - When an order is received for a fluid restriction, the dietitian confers with the nursing department to determine how much fluid each department is to provide. #5 - The Fluid Restriction Worksheet is used to outline the division of fluids - by department, meal, and shift. The original form is placed in the dietary section of the medical record. #6 - The amount of fluid to be given with meds on each shift is written of the Medication Administration Record (MAR).

The Dietitian further stated that the physician's fluid restriction would have been clarified and a new restriction obtained. Further stated that once the order was clarified a calculation of dietary and nursing fluid allotments would have been conducted and nursing notified of a change to the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for fluid per shift.

Based on observation and interview it was determined that the facility failed to store, prepare, serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. The issues included: failure to protect food from contamination, failure to maintain sanitizing chemical solutions, failure to maintain refrigeration and ice machines, and proper cleaning and maintenance of food preparation equipment. The findings included: 1) During the original food service observation tour conducted in the main kitchen on 10/10/22 at approximately 9:00 AM accompanied with the facility's Food Service Manager (FSD), the following were noted: (a) Upon entrance into the kitchen it was noted that 4 facility staff (Staff P, Q, R, and S) were working within food preparation and food serving areas. Further observation noted that there 4 staff were wearing dangling ear and neck jewelry. Interview with the FSD at the time of the observation revealed that she was not aware that jewelry falling into food is a form of food contamination and requested that the 4 staff remove their jewelry while working in these areas. (b) Observation of the juice dispensing machine noted that the dispensing gun nozzle was being stored in soiled, stagnant water when not in use. Interview with the FSD at the time of the observation revealed that she was unaware that the gun dispensing nozzle was required to be stored in moving clean water of cleaned and sanitized and kept dry after each use. (c) During the observation of the food preparation sink area it was noted that the wall area was in disrepair and had large area of peeling paint that were located directly above the sink area. It was discussed with the FSD at the time of the observation that there was the potential for pieces of the wall and peeling paint to fall into foods being prepared in the sink area and could result in food contamination. The facility's Food Service Manager was informed by the surveyor that the preparation sink area should not be utilized until wall repair and painting was completed. (d) During the observation of the exhaust hood it was noted that the exterior of the hood, wall vent, and surrounding wall area had dust and laden with dirt. It was discussed with the FSD at the time of the observation that the dust could potentially fall into foods being prepared by the commercial food preparation equipment that are located directly beneath the exhaust hood.
