**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

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 .
