F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to notify a resident's physician and Registered Dietician regarding a significant weight loss. This failure resulted in R2 experiencing a 28.6lb weight loss within a 2 week period with no nutritional interventions for 5 days. This applies to 1 of 3 residents reviewed for nutrition in the sample of 6.The findings include:R2's electronic face sheet, printed on 1/21/26, showed R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and has diagnoses including but not limited to encephalopathy, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, emphysema, and epilepsy.R2's facility assessment, dated 12/25/25, showed R2 has severe cognitive impairment and requires enteral tube feeding.R2's mini nutritional assessment performed by V9 (Registered Dietician), dated 12/19/25, showed R2 is malnourished.R2's weight log showed the following weights, 12/24/25 121.4lbs, 1/2/26, 96.9lbs, 1/7/26 94lbs, 1/15/26 92.8lbs., reflecting a significant weight loss of 20% within a 2 week period.R2's nursing progress notes, dated 1/7/26, showed, Nurse called power of attorney (POA) and updated on weight loss and plans to increase his tube feeding volume and rate. POA was under the impression he was on a continuous feed. Nurse let her know that he is on a total volume and once that is reached he is done with feeding until the restart in the evening. POA understood and was ok with that . R2's tube feeding assessment performed by V9 (Registered Dietician/RD), dated 1/21/26, showed, 1/15 92.8, BMI 13, IBW (ideal body weight) 170 +/- 5%. Weight loss noted and discussed in IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) weight meeting. Tube feeding formula switched to Glucerna 1.5 to provide additional calories. Weight stability/gradual weight gain desired. Caloric needs estimated to encourage weight goals . On 1/21/26 at 12:41PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, Our documentation system triggers when there is a significant weight gain/loss. We do weight meetings on Thursdays every week and we talk about everyone that has triggered. Our Dietician, Food Service Director, nursing, and unit manager sit in on the meeting. It should be in the progress notes that there was a weight issue, and it was addressed. If there is a continuous weight loss sometimes, we will do weekly weights, but it's whatever the Dietician recommends or the physician recommends. Tube feedings are the same, there is no standard we do for them. We do whatever the recommendation is. (R2) is a pretty sick resident, he has some wounds and has had significant weight loss. We have addressed his significant weight loss in one of our meetings and we have been trying to get family to sign him onto hospice. The day the weights are noted to be significant is when we (management) should be notified so we can notify the Nurse Practitioner and Dietician and get recommendations. At 2:04PM, V2 stated, (R2) has had some weight fluctuations. He had a new colostomy and now the size has reduced to its normal size. No, I don't think that is the reason for his significant weight change. When there is a weight change the staff are supposed to be notifying the Dietician and physician right away, not days later. We need to act quickly for our residents who are vulnerable to additional weight loss to prevent any further deterioration of their condition. A resident on tube feeding is very high risk for weight fluctuations and should be monitored closely for weight Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete changes.On 1/21/26 at 2:31PM, V9, RD, stated, We sometimes have people that have fluid related weight loss but (R2) did not have any excess fluid on him. Once a week, I pull the weight and vitals exception report, and we address all of the weight issues in our weight meeting. If a resident has a quarterly or annual assessment, sometimes it will get put in one big note for the notes from the weight meetings, otherwise it should be documented as its own progress note. I was not notified of (R2's) weight loss until I pulled the weight report on 1/7/26 prior to our 1/8 weight meeting. I don't always get notified for a significant weight loss, sometimes I just see it on the report when I pull it. It would be preferable for me to be notified of a weight change, but I also understand when it does not happen because they are busy. I have (R2's) caloric needs calculated as of his weight right now to help encourage weight gain. If he continues to tolerate the formula and the rate he's been getting, I can hopefully increase it and help him gain at least some of the weight back. The sooner we start interventions, the better our chances are to get the residents to gain weight back. I do not think that any of (R2's) weights have been inaccurate up to this point in his stay at the facility.The facility's policy titled, Nutrition Care Significant Weight Loss, dated 1/18, showed, Residents with a significant weight loss will be assessed by the Licensed Dietician .to reduce the risk of malnutrition .2. A significant weight loss is 5% in one month, 7 1/2% in 3 months and 10% in 6 months . Event ID: Facility ID: 145259 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
