Based on interview and record review that facility failed to ensure a resident with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure had daily weights performed as ordered for 1 of 18 residents (R15) reviewed for quality of care in the sample of 18.
Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R15's Face Sheet shows that she has diagnoses of acute on chronic combined systolic (congestive) and diastolic (congestive) heart failure (CHF), myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, shortness of breath, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atherosclerotic heart disease. R15's Physician's Order Sheet shows an order dated 2/28/24 for daily weights for a diagnosis of CHF. R15's Weights and Vitals summary printed on 10/22/24 shows that between 7/13/24 and 10/22/24, R15 did not receive a weight on 7/13, 7/14, 7/15, 7/18, 8/7, 8/15, 8/16, 8/24, 8/29, 9/6, 9/14, 9/16, 9/26, 9/27, 9/28, 9/29, 10/2, 10/6, 10/8, 10/9, 10/13, 10/14, 10/16, 10/17, 10/19 and 10/21/24.
