This affected one resident (#164) of three residents review for weight loss. The facility census was 163. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the closed medical record for Resident #164 revealed an admission date of 05/27/21. Diagnoses included arthritis, anemia, anorexia, stage four chronic kidney disease, and dysphagia. Resident #164 expired on 12/26/23 at the facility. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #164 dated 11/09/23 revealed the resident was moderately cognitively impaired. She had an impairment to both sides of her body on the upper and lower halves, required substantial or maximum assistance for eating, oral hygiene, personal hygiene, toileting, showering or bathing, and upper body dressing. She was totally dependent on staff for lower body dressing. The resident had no swallowing disorders or dental issues. She had weight loss of 5% or more in the last month or 10% or more in the last six months and was on a mechanically altered diet. She received hospice services. Review of the plan of care dated 10/01/23 for Resident #164 revealed the resident had the potential for inadequate food intake due to anorexia and hospice with a goal to consume more than 25% of meals. Interventions included documenting meal intake amounts, providing snacks and preferences, assisting as needed, and monitoring weights and labs as ordered. Review of the physician orders for Resident #164 revealed an order for a Boost supplement twice per day (BID) beginning on 09/20/23 and weekly weights beginning 10/23/23. Review of the resident's vital signs revealed Resident #164's weight was obtained on 08/02/23 and she weighed 171.4 pounds, 10/11/23 she weighed 137 pounds and 11/03/23 when she weighed 127 pounds. There was no documented evidence a reweight was obtained after the 10/11/23 weight of 137 pounds which was a 19.7% (significant) weight loss in two months. There was no documented evidence that the resident refused to be weighed. There was no documented evidence that the dietitian or physician were notified of the severe weight loss. Interview on 01/16/23 at 8:56 A.M. with Diet Tech #209 revealed weights were to be obtained monthly unless otherwise ordered by the physician, and refusals to be weighed would be documented in the resident's medical record. She added it was the facility's policy to discontinue weekly weights when a resident was placed on hospice. She could provide no documented evidence a weight had been obtained for Resident #164 in September 2023.

F 0692 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 01/16/24 at 12:26 P.M. with Medical Doctor (MD) #208 revealed Resident #164's health had been declining for several months after she contracted COVID in January of 2023. She had been in and out of the hospital for multiple issues including thyroid related issues which may have led to some issues with her weight. She revealed Resident #164 did not want any type of invasive procedure and only wanted to be comfortable therefore, MD #208 did not discuss the potential for a feeding tube with Resident #164. She also added a feeding tube was not indicated because the resident had already been significantly overweight and expressed multiple times that she was not interested in invasive procedures. MD #208 also felt the residents' health would not withstand a procedure of that nature. Review of the facility policy titled Weight policy, dated September 2023, revealed weights would be obtained once per month unless otherwise ordered, weekly weights would be obtained per physician orders, if a weight deviated plus or minus five pounds from the previously recorded weight, a reweigh would be completed, the dietitian or diet tech would be notified on the day of the variance and would complete a nutritional assessment, documenting their findings in the electronic medical record (EMR) with interventions as appropriate. Refusals would be documented in the EMR. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00149924.

She was totally dependent for lower body dressing. The resident had no swallowing disorders or dental issues.
