Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, review of resident fluid intakes, review of physician orders, staff interview, review of
physician communication sheets, review of a hospital history and physical, review of hospital consultation
notes, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure a resident's hydration status was maintained
to decrease the risk of dehydration. This resulted in actual harm when Resident #58 had a decrease in oral
fluid intake for three days and was subsequently hospitalized with acute kidney injury, severe dehydration,
and severe sepsis. This affected one (#58) of three residents reviewed for hydration status. The facility
census was 71.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #58's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/09/23 and a readmission date
of 10/07/23. Diagnoses included cerebral infarction, hemiplegia and hemiparesis, dysarthria, aphasia,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic kidney disease,
heart disease, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #58 was
severely cognitively impaired and required extensive assistance with activities of daily living, including
eating.
Review of a plan of care focus area initiated 09/11/23 and revised 10/12/23, revealed Resident #58 was at
increased nutrition/hydration risk related to stroke, dysphagia with need for mechanically altered diet, and
takes medication which can affect appetite or weight. Additionally, Resident #58 had decreased food and
fluid intake, avoidable weight loss over past 30 days due to decline in condition, refusal of meals and poor
oral intakes. Interventions included encourage honey thickened liquids between meals, monitor for signs
and symptoms of dehydration/fluid volume deficit, monitor labs as available, monitor for decline in eating
ability and assist as needed, monitor weight, and diet as ordered.
Review of physician orders revealed Resident #58 was on a regular, pureed diet with honey thickened
liquids and was ordered furomeside (diuretic - used to remove water and electrolytes from the body by
increasing urination) oral tablet 10 milligrams (mg) two times daily.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) from 09/15/23 through 09/22/23 revealed Resident
#58 was administered furomeside 10 mg as ordered on each of the days reviewed.
Review of a Nutritional assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #58 received honey thickened liquids,
required limited assist/supervision with feeding, had inadequate fluid intake, and swallowing

Additionally, fluid intakes do not meet 100% estimated fluid needs. Continue with regular pureed diet with
honey thickened liquids. Will add magic cup three times daily and honey thickened facility nourishment
three times daily. Goals are for no signs or symptoms of dehydration, no difficulty with chewing or
swallowing, and no significant weight change.
Review of a nursing alert progress note dated 09/18/23 revealed Resident #58 ate less than 50% over the
last three shifts. Inadequate fluid intake, swallowing difficulty related to recent CVA (stroke) as evidenced by
need for mechanically altered diet. Inadequate fluid intakes related to resident doesn't know to drink fluids
and will just hold cups as evidenced by fluid intakes do not meet 100% estimated fluid needs. Continue with
a regular pureed diet with honey thickened liquids.
Review of e-mail correspondence dated 09/18/23 revealed Case Manager (CM) #250 communicated to

days. Additionally, Resident #58 now had altered mentally so they decided to send her to the Emergency
Department (ED). Resident #58 had acute encephalopathy (alteration of mental status), severe sepsis with
hypotension (likely due to significant dehydration), severe dehydration due to no oral intake of food/water for
the last three days (reported), significant hypernatremia (likely due to dehydration and leading to altered
mental status), acute kidney injury on top of chronic kidney disease, mild acute respiratory failure with
hypoxemia due to COPD exacerbation, and mild COPD exacerbation with unknown trigger at this time.
Physical examination revealed the resident had a very dry tongue and oral mucosa (the mucus membrane
or skin inside the mouth, including cheeks and lips). Resident #58 was admitted to the intensive care unit
for closer monitoring of oxygen levels, regular diet started, daily weight and strict input and output, ED given
boluses, continue Intravenous (IV) one-half normal saline (NS) at 75 milliliters/hour (ml/hr.), doing no
antibiotics now as there is no evidence of infection. Lastly, furomeside (diuretic) was discontinued.
Review of hospital consultation notes dated 09/23/23 revealed Resident #58 was admitted to the hospital
due to acute kidney injury, hypernatremia (high concentration of sodium in the blood), acute
encephalopathy (alteration of mental status), hypotension (low blood pressure), severe sepsis,
hyperkalemia (high potassium), and dehydration. Additional review revealed resident admitted with report of
more than two days of poor oral intake of food and water. Treatment included dextrose 5 percent in water IV
solution 1,500 milliliters (ml) 150 milliliters/hour (ml/hr) and sodium chloride 10 ml IV push two times daily.
Further review of the medical record revealed no evidence Resident #58 was assessed for dehydration
signs and symptoms prior to hospitalization.
Interview on 10/16/23 at 2:07 P.M. with PA #300 revealed she recalled a conversation with someone at the
facility about supplements for Resident #58. She did not specifically recall a conversation about fluid
intakes. PA #300 stated she knew the resident's intakes were poor, but she was unaware the resident had
not consumed any fluids on 09/20/23 and 09/22/23 and had only had 420 ml (16 ounces) on 09/21/23. PA
#300 stated she saw Resident #58 on 09/20/23, but the resident was on transmission-based precautions,
so she only saw her from the door and did not physically examine her. PA #300 stated she did not recall any
specific concerns related to Resident #58's fluid intakes, noting the facility wanted her to back them but she
did not remember notification of fluid concerns. PA #300 stated she probably would have discontinued
Resident #58's furomeside if she had known the resident's fluid intakes were that low.
Interview on 10/16/23 at 2:24 P.M. with CM #250 revealed she had a conversation with PA #300 about a
supplement for Resident #58 due to poor meal intakes. No changes were made because the dietitian stated
the resident's weight was stable. CM #250 confirmed the communication with PA #300 was related to poor
meal intakes and not inadequate fluid intakes.
Interview on 10/17/23 9:41 A.M. with Corporate Nurse (CN) #275 revealed Resident #58's vital signs had
been monitored two times daily and had been stable up to the day the resident was sent out to the hospital.
CN #275 stated Resident #58 had stable pulses and BP and there were no outwardly signs of obvious
dehydration. The facility had been trialing some different things to increase the resident's intakes. CN #275
stated Resident #58 refused meals, fluids, care, and would become aggressive toward staff. CN #275
stated based on Resident #58's presentation, the staff were doing whatever they could and did what they
needed to do. Additionally, CN #275 stated Resident #58 was on a pureed diet, and while she could not
measure the amount of fluid in pureed diets, Resident #58 was receiving fluids through meals.

Interview on 10/17/23 at 10:19 A.M. of Registered Dietitian (RD) #200 revealed Resident #58 had been
discussed at the facility's weekly nutrition at risk meetings. RD #200 stated Resident #58 refused meals
and fluids and would hit staff. RD #200 stated all foods contain a certain percent of water, based on the
food, and it was possible Resident #58 received enough fluids to sustain her through a pureed diet. RD
#200 stated she would review the meals and Resident #58's intakes to calculate an estimate of fluids the
resident would have received from eating a pureed diet.
Follow up interview on 10/17/23 at 12:03 P.M. with PA #300 revealed she may have been remembering the
wrong resident when she spoke with this surveyor on 10/16/23. PA #300 stated she was now retired,
working off of memory, and could not recall all of the details. PA #300 stated she had the resident confused
with another resident and she did actually evaluate Resident #58 on 09/20/23 and had no concerns related
to dehydration. While PA #300 stated she was notified by the facility on 09/19/23, Resident #58 had poor
oral intakes, she believed that to mean the resident was drinking low liquids, not no liquids, which was why
she deferred to the dietitian. Additionally, on 09/21/23, PA #300 stated she ordered Boost Breeze, and that
was a fluid. PA #300 confirmed she was unaware Resident #58 had only consumed one - eight ounce
Boost Breeze on 09/21/23 and none on 09/22/23. While some fluids could be obtained through foods, she
was uncertain if it would be a sufficient amount to prevent dehydration. PA #300 verified furomeside would
increase the risk of dehydration, especially in someone who was not consuming sufficient fluids, and she
did not know why that was not addressed for Resident #58.
Follow-up interview on 10/17/23 at 2:45 P.M. with CN #275 confirmed while Resident #58's vital signs were
stable in the days leading up to her hospitalization, there was no evidence of nursing assessment for other
indicators of dehydration, including sunken eyes, skin turgor, or oral mucosa.
Interview on 10/18/23 at 9:24 A.M. with RD #200 verified she was not in the kitchen when Resident #58's
meals were prepared and was unable to verify if the proper amounts of fluid was added to the resident's
pureed meals and/or served to the resident.
Review of facility policy titled, Hydration Policy, approved 03/17/16, revealed the facility will provide each
resident with sufficient fluid intake to maintain proper hydration status. Sufficient fluid means the amount of
fluid needed to prevent dehydration and maintain health. The amount needed is specific for each resident,
and fluctuates as the resident's condition fluctuates.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00146850.
