R52 stated I don't get this. I asked about it because I am not sure where that note came from. The dietary staff told me that when everyone is done being served, I can ask for a second portion. So, a lot of times I will wait and then ask and then there isn't any food left, so I don't get a second portion (double portion) of food most days. At this time R52's dietary slip was viewed and documents Cottage Cheese with lunch and supper four ounces, Double Portions and cottage cheese with Lunch and Supper. May have extra helping after the double portion if needed. R52's Physician Order Sheet, dated 4/15/25, documents a diet order, dated 2/15/25, for R52 to receive a Regular diet; may have double portions and seconds for double portions and cottage cheese with lunch and supper related to Adult Failure to Thrive.
