observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #37 was provided timely and
adequate assistance with eating, a nutritional diet was provided as ordered and meal intakes were
documented for Resident #37 who was identified to have a significant weight loss in one month. This
affected one resident (#37) of five residents reviewed for nutrition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including pressure ulcer to the sacral area, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, sleep apnea
and depression.
Review of the dietary assessment, dated 07/06/22 at 1:06 P.M. revealed Resident #37 was on a regular diet
with finger foods because she would not use silverware. The assessment revealed the meal should provide
approximately 2473 calories and 95 grams of protein daily. The resident feeds herself with poor intakes of
approximately 25-50 percent of most meals documented. Her current body weight was 140 pounds (lbs)
with a body mass index of 21.9, which was her normal weight status. Resident #37 was at high risk for
nutritional decline per the nutritional risk assessment tool. The dietitian recommends offering 120 milliliters
(ml) house supplement twice daily to provide an additional 480 calories and 20 grams of protein. Also add
60 ml of house liquid protein supplement daily to provide 202 calories and 30 grams protein for wound
healing and provide diet as ordered with the goal of greater than 50 percent of meals consumed. Monitor
intakes, supplement acceptance, weight and skin integrity.
Review of the plan of care, dated 07/06/22 revealed Resident #37 had a potential for alteration in nutrition
and hydration related to finger foods (she refused all silverware), supplements related to poor intakes and
pressure wounds. Interventions included to provide assistance with meals as needed, encourage family to
bring in favorite foods from home, honor food preferences, medications as ordered, monitor consistency of
diet ordered, obtain food preferences, provide diet as ordered, provide supplement as ordered, weights as
ordered, and dietitian referral as needed.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 07/07/22 revealed Resident #37 had
severely impaired cognition, required total assistance from one staff member for dressing and personal
hygiene, extensive assistance from two staff members for bed mobility and extensive assistance from one
staff member for eating. The assessment revealed the resident weighed 140 lbs.
Review of July 2022 meal intake records for Resident #37 revealed there was no documentation of her
meal intakes for breakfast on 07/08/22, 07/09/22, 07/10/22, 07/11/22, 07/17/22, 07/19/22, 07/21/22,

Review of the August 2022 physician's orders revealed Resident #37 was on a regular diet with finger
foods.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of August 2022 meal intake records for Resident #37 revealed there was no documentation of meal
intakes for breakfast on 08/04/22 or 08/06/22. There was no documentation of meal intakes for lunch on
08/04/22, 08/05/22, 08/06/22 or 08/07/22. There was no documentation of meal intakes for dinner on

Review of the breakfast diet slip, dated 08/17/22 revealed resident's slip documented a regular diet, finger
foods and four ounces health shake.
On 08/17/22 at 8:35 A.M. State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #406 was observed to hand Resident
#37's breakfast tray to Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #405 who was in the resident's room. LPN #405 set
the tray on the round table in the corner of the room. The resident was in bed. LPN #405 left the resident's
room and closed the door. Continued observation from 8:35 A.M. to 9:39 A.M. revealed no staff member
had gone into the room of Resident #37 to provide assistance to her with the meal and the meal tray was
not positioned in front of her to eat. At 9:39 A.M. STNA #406 was observed to enter the resident's room to
assist with the meal. At 10:10 A.M. STNA #406 came out of the room with Resident #37's meal tray and
indicated she had only eaten her donut. The tray had scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, a donut, a carton of
milk, which was unopened, a bowl of fruit loops, a four-ounce glass of orange juice, which was half gone,
and a four-ounce glass of heath shake which still had the lid on it. STNA #406 indicated the resident does
not like eggs and stated she had told the kitchen, but they kept sending her eggs. In addition, STNA #406
verified scrambled eggs were not a finger food.
Review of the week two menu (dated 08/15/22) revealed on Wednesday for lunch the residents who were to
get finger foods were to receive three ounces of veal bites, four ounces of pasta, four ounces of the Key
[NAME] vegetable blend, four ounces carton of milk, and eight ounces of water.
On Wednesday 08/17/22 at 12:05 P.M. observation of the lunch trays revealed they arrived to the unit at this
time. STNA #406, who was passing trays, left the tray for Resident #37 on the meal cart in the hallway.
Continuous observation from 12:05 P.M. to 12:58 P.M. revealed the lunch tray for Resident #37 remained on
the meal cart in the hallway. At 12:58 P.M. STNA #406 took the meal tray for Resident #37 into the
resident's room. The meal tray had a ground meat sandwich, green beans, Cheetos puffs, a four ounces
carton of milk and a four-ounce glass of water.
On 08/17/22 at 12:58 P.M. interview with STNA #406 revealed it was taking her a little longer to feed the
four residents on the unit because the other nursing assistant had gone home at 12:00 P.M. and it was just
her on the unit.
On 08/17/22 at 1:40 P.M. interview with Dietitian #481 revealed the facility does give scrambled eggs as a
finger food so the resident would have a variety of options for breakfast. Also, they wound give green beans
instead of the Key [NAME] blend because they believe the green beans were easier to hold on to then the
Key [NAME] blend which tends to get mushy when cooked. She indicated the cook gave the Cheetos puffs
in place of the pasta and verified this was not an appropriate substitution. She indicated the alternate
sandwich was a chicken patty and the resident does not like chicken, so the cook put ground meat on a bun
for her. She did not know why she did not get the veal patty because she was a regular diet not a
mechanical soft. She stated she did not do the menus, so she did not

Resident #37 could have had the veil and pasta. The Cheetos puffs should not have been a replacement for
the pasta but an extra on her tray.
Residents Affected - Few
On 08/18/22 at 1:45 P.M. interview with Dietitian #481 revealed meal intakes were an important part of her
nutritional assessment and determined what intervention she initiated. She stated if no meal intakes were
documented she would have to go talk to the staff to know how much the resident was consuming at meals.
