Additionally, the facility failed to complete weight monitoring as required for a second (Resident #81) resident who was identified at risk for nutrition, placing the resident at risk for the potential for more than minimal harm. This affected two (#52 and #81) of five (#7, #22, #26, #52, #81) residents reviewed for nutrition. The facility identified a total of ten (#5, #31, #35, #44, #48, #52, #66, #74, #81, #140) residents as being at nutritional risk. The facility census was 84 residents.
