R83's 7/14/2024 8:31 PM, Dietary Assessment progress note documents in part significant weight gain of 7.6% in the last three months.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few During a telephone interview with V19 (R83's Primary Physician) on 7/17/2024 at 11:12 AM, V19 stated, facility did not inform V19 of R83's weight gain or that R83 was eating well. V19 stated, when staff inform [V19] of a resident's nutritional improvement, V19 will usually order a calorie count to obtain objective information to further evaluate need for the g-tube. If the calorie count proves adequate intake, then V19 will order for the g-tube removal. R83's progress notes do not document in part that staff notified V19 of R83's nutritional improvement. R83's orders did not include a calorie count. During a follow-up interview on 7/18/2024 at 9:05 AM, V19 stated, evaluating R83 early that morning. V19 stated R83 looked good overall and R83 talked about missing cultural foods. V19 stated will order a calorie count and was 90% confident that R83's g-tube can be removed.
