**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure accurate weights were
obtained for Resident #31 and Resident #46. This affected two (Residents #31 and #46) of six residents
reviewed for nutrition. The facility census was 62.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #31 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including iron deficiency anemia, intellectual disabilities, gastro-esophageal reflux, deficiency of
B vitamins, hyperlipidemia, [NAME] crisis, depression, dysphagia, and intestinal malabsorption.
Review of Resident #31's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #31's cognition was intact and was independent for eating. Resident #31 was 58 inches tall and
weighed 115 pounds and had a weight loss of five percent in the last month that was not physician
prescribed. Resident #31 was on a mechanically altered therapeutic diet.
Review of the Dietary Progress Note dated 05/12/25 revealed Resident #31 triggered a 14-pound weight
loss. Resident #31 weighed 115 pounds on 05/07/25 and 129 pounds on 04/07/25. It was noted by the
dietitian that Resident #31 was added to weekly weight monitoring and would follow up with any significant
change.
Review of electronic medical record (EMR), Vital Signs and Weight Record, revealed Resident #31's weight
documentation on 05/07/25 115 pounds, on 05/14/25 115.4 pounds, on 05/21/25 114.6 pounds, 06/11/25
113.6 pounds, and 06/17/25 113.6 pounds.
The interview with Resident #31 on 06/23/25 at 10:00 A.M. revealed she realized she lost weight and had a
poor appetite because the food did not appeal to her.
Interview with Registered Dietitian (RD) #573 on 06/25/25 at 9:05 P.M. revealed Resident #31 was
assessed for a significant weight loss related to poor appetite and was following weekly weights to ensure
Resident #31's weight was stable. RD #573 verified she requested weekly weights, but a physician order
was not written, and weekly weights were not provided on 05/28/25 and 06/04/25.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 06/25/25 at 5:06 P.M. verified the weekly weights were
missing from the electronic medical record for the week of 05/28/25 and 06/04/25 and verified an order was
not written in the electronic medical record.

2. Resident #46 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Medical diagnoses included myocardial infarction,
hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular septal defect, acute respiratory failure, peripheral vascular
disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, type two diabetes, pressure ulcer sacral, dysphagia, cognitive
communication deficit, anxiety, depression, and hypotension.
Review of the MDS 3.0 quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #46's cognition was intact
and was independent for eating. Resident #46 was 61 inches tall and weighed 121 pounds. Resident #46
had a weight loss of 5 percent or more in one month and was not on a physician prescribed weight loss
diet. Resident #46 was on a therapeutic diet.
Review of the physician order dated 04/15/25 with no end date revealed Resident #46 was to be on weekly
weights.
Review of the facility EMR, Vital Signs and Weight Record, revealed Resident #46 weighed 121.1 pounds
on 04/16/25, 118 pounds on 05/14/25, 120.5 pounds on 05/21/25, 112 pounds on 05/27/25 and 121.9
pounds on 06/04/25.
Interview with Resident #46 on 06/25/25 at 9:30 A.M. revealed she was aware she had lost weight and did
not like the oral nutrition supplements or diet provided.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #541 on 06/25/25 at 12:03 P.M. revealed all weekly and
monthly weights were only documented in the electronic medical record after the nurse aides obtained the
weekly or monthly weight.
Interview with RD #573 on 06/25/25 at 1:50 P.M. revealed the nurse or dietitian could input weekly or
monthly weights into the electronic medical record, and she assumed the weight input on 05/27/25 was
placed in error.
Interview on 06/25/25 at 3:24 P.M. with the DON verified a physician order was placed on 04/15/25 that
Resident #46 was to be on weekly weights. The DON verified the weekly weight documentation was not
available on other facility documents or documented in the electronic medical record for the week of
04/21/25, 04/28/25, 05/05/25, 05/26/25 and 06/16/27.
Review of the facility policy titled Weights Policy, dated May 2015, revealed obtaining accurate weights was
vital for nutritional assessment, and all weights for each resident including new admission, readmission,
monthly and weekly were to be recorded in one central weight record such as the electronic health record
and Vital Signs and Weight Record.
