healing.Interview on 10/23/25 at 1:04 P.M. with Wound Physician #110 who acknowledged Resident #60's
wounds had not healed. He said the biggest barrier to Resident #60's wound healing was her
nutrition.Interview on 10/23/25 at 2:31 P.M. with Registered Dietician #140 who noted she had discovered
the apparent significant weight loss from 09/15/25 to 10/21/25 for Resident #60 on this date. She said her
first plan would be to ask facility to reweigh the resident to ensure the weight change was not an error in
measurement or documentation. Secondly, she said she planned to interview Resident #60 to see if the
resident was open to taking a supplement.Interview on 10/23/25 at 3:05 P.M. with the Administrator

to start on a nutritional supplement to promote wound healing (the same date that the care plan was
updated for the prosource). The Administrator said that the DON and ADON who were working at that time
were no longer with the organization and that the message was not passed on to the resident's
physician.Interview on 10/23/25 at 3:25 P.M. with Primary Care Physician #155 confirmed she had not
received the recommendation from the Registered Dietician on 09/09/25 and she definitely would have
ordered a supplement if the Registered Dietician had recommended it. She said they would have closely
monitored Resident #60's response to the supplement to ensure there were no issues with her kidney
disease.Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Injuries: Assessment, Prevention and Treatment,
updated 05/01/25, revealed intervention and preventive measures included dietician referrals and
administering vitamins and minerals and protein supplements in accordance with physician orders. This
