The findings include: R1's face sheet shows she is a [AGE] year-old female with diagnosis including congestive heart failure, anorexia, type 2 diabetes, major depressive disorder, atrial fibrillation, hearing loss, generalized anxiety, kyphosis, and history of pulmonary embolism. On 10/7/24 at 12:54 PM, V11 (R1's POA) said her mom (R1) has had a change in the last couple of weeks. She has been more lethargic and not her normal self. On 9/23/24 a care conference was held, and she expressed her concerns regarding the change in her mom. She requested labs and urinalysis (UA). She followed up with V3 (Ground Floor Manager) regarding the labs and was told they were not done yet. No one seems to know when my mom started to have this change of condition. She was not notified when the physician ordered the antibiotic. On 10/7/24 at 2:00 PM, V3 (Unit Manager) said R1 is alert to self, with periods of confusion, she is overall cooperative but has her moments. R1's POA reported she was more lethargic, requested labs and UA because she was concerned she had an infection. On 9/25/24 she reported to the floor the nurse to enter orders for R1 for labs and UA. When she came back over the weekend, she checked the orders, and they were not entered. On 9/30/24 she entered the orders herself. R1 was refusing straight catheterization to obtain the UA. After the lab results returned, and based on her symptoms an order was received for an antibiotic. On 10/7/24 at 10:56 AM, V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) said R1 had a change of increased confusion, lethargy, and agitation last week. She was started on an antibiotic for treatment of urinary tract infection and improved over the weekend to her baseline. Nursing should notify the POA new medications are ordered. A calendar copy dated 9/23/24 shows R1's care plan was held at 1:30 PM with R1's POA concerns listed include urine test, CBC, and CMP (lab tests). A grievance form dated 9/25/24 documents R1's POA has concerns her mom is sleepier then normal. The form shows Labs & UA ordered. R1's Physician Order Summary Report dated September 2024 shows orders dated 9/30/24 to collect UA

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident with significant weight loss received the recommended nutritional supplements. This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R1) reviewed for weight loss in the sample of 4.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include: R1's face sheet shows she is a [AGE] year-old female with diagnosis including congestive heart failure, anorexia, type 2 diabetes, major depressive disorder, atrial fibrillation, hearing loss, generalized anxiety, kyphosis, and history of pulmonary embolism. On 10/7/24 at 8:27 AM, R1 was observed in bed with her eyes closed. She did not respond to stimuli after several attempts of calling out her name. An empty water mug was on her bedside table. The meal tray cart was located in the hallway. R1's breakfast tray with her diet card was on the cart, with an unopened milk carton, serving of eggs, toast and bowl of oatmeal. R1's meal tray appeared not eaten and there was no signs of spillage around the bowl. There was not another breakfast tray with R1's name located on the meal cart. On 10/7/24 at 11:43 AM, R1 was observed in the dining room. She was served turkey with gravy on toast, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables, and milk. R1's diet card did not list ice cream. At 11:53 AM, staff assisted her with noon meal, and she exhibited no behaviors of agitation. At 12:06 PM, V11 arrived and assisted her with the noon meal. V11 said R1 did not get her ice cream. V11 notified staff and requested for her ice cream. V11 said R1 has not been getting her ice cream, they say they don't have any.

On 10/7/24 at 2:00 PM, V3 (Ground Floor Manager) said R1 is alert to self, with periods of confusion. She is overall cooperative but has her moments. She does not have behaviors, but she heard today R1 got upset and threw her tray, she's not an aggressive resident. She doesn't think R1 could pick up the tray and throw it on the floor. Staff should be assisting her meals. On 10/7/24 at 2:28 PM, V1 (Dietitian) said she started at the facility the end of August. R1 triggered for significant weight loss from August to September, her weights had been fairly stable prior to that. She recommended weekly weights, health shake, milk with meals, ice cream with her noon meal, and staff should be assisting her meals. She emails the recommendations to the V2 (DON) and the dietary manager. The dietary manager should update the meal cards. On 10/7/24 at 4:20 PM, V1 (Administrator) said the facility did not have ice cream today and food deliveries come on Wednesday. He was not aware of this and did not know how long they have been out of ice cream. R1's Dietary progress note dated 9/25/24 documents R1 triggers for a significant weight loss of 11% in one month.
