F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, hospital record review, interview and policy review the facility failed to ensure timely physician notification related to mouth pain/thrush, lethargy and decreased meal and fluid intakes. This affected one resident (Resident #67) of three resident reviewed for change in condition. The census was 66. Findings include: Review of Resident #67's hospital records (prior to facility admission) dated 04/19/23 to 04/24/23 revealed the resident had a history of severe protein calorie malnutrition and had acute on chronic renal failure related to poor intake. Review of the hospital discharge summary plan dated, 04/24/23 revealed the resident had an echocardiogram (a scan used to look at the heart and near-by blood vessels) during her hospitalization that showed a grade one diastolic dysfunction (heart cannot fully fill during the diastolic part of the heartbeat). The resident's discharge orders revealed the resident required a cardiac 1500 milliliter (ml) fluid restriction daily (used to avoid overloading your heart if you have heart failure as more fluid in your bloodstream makes it harder for your heart to pump) and a minced moisture texture diet. Hospital discharge documentation noted the resident's stay was expected to be less 30-days at the skilled nursing facility. Closed record review revealed Resident #67 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged to the hospital on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included orthopedic aftercare due to a displaced intertrochanter fracture of the left femur, type two diabetes, muscle weakness, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), heart disease, stage three chronic kidney disease, hypertension, falls and ectopic kidney (a kidney located below, above or on the opposite side of the kidney's normal position in the urinary tract). Record review revealed an admission order, dated 04/24/23 for a no added salt (NAS) mechanical soft diet. On 04/25/23 the resident's diet was upgraded to a regular texture diet; however this was not communicated to the dietary department and the resident never received the upgraded diet while in the facility. Review of Resident #67's fluid restriction worksheet and physician's orders, dated 04/25/23 revealed the resident was not to exceed a total daily fluid intake of 1500 milliliters (ml); 720 ml dietary and 780 ml nursing. The worksheet noted one cup of 240 ml of fluids on each meal tray. Record review revealed a plan of care, dated 04/26/23 related to altered health maintenance due to progress physical and mental status. Interventions included to monitor for signs and symptoms of cardiac distress and report to the cardiac and vascular doctor if any weight gain/loss, edema, fatigue, Page 1 of 22 366478 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750
F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few chest pain, confusion, nausea, decreased urinary output, or increased laboratory testing (BUN/Creatine). Interventions also included to provide diet ordered; if less than 50% consumed offer supplements as ordered (the resident had no orders for nutritional supplements at this time). Stress the importance of good nutrition and how it promotes healing and increases resistance. Review of Resident #67's speech notes authored by Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) #201 dated 04/26/23 revealed the resident ate slightly better after speech sat and ate their own individual items while the resident ate. The resident reported the food was bland, Mrs. Dash was used and the resident reported the food was better. Review of Resident #67's nutrition risk tool, dated 04/27/23 and authored by Registered Dietician (RD) #198 revealed the resident was at moderate risk for nutritional decline due to having a moderate decrease in food intake, no weight loss in three months, able to get out of bed/chair but does not go out, BMI 21 to less than 23, had suffered psychological stress or acute disease in the past three months, and no psychological problems. There were no guidelines to direct staff on how to proceed with a resident assessed with nutritional risks. Review of Resident #67's dietary assessment, dated 04/27/23 and authored by RD #198 revealed the resident was hospitalized for an intertrochanter fracture and had undergone surgery (gamma nailing) on 04/20/23 (during the resident's hospitalization). The resident lived at home (prior to the hospitalization), and family had provided her with breakfast and dinner. The resident reported she would often forget to eat lunch due to being home alone. The resident reported she had recently started drinking Boost (a nutritional supplement) once daily due to weight loss and lack of intake. The assessment noted, a no added salt (NAS) with thin liquids and regular textured solids diet. Documentation indicated the resident was consuming 25-50% of meal trays. The dietary note indicated the RD would order a house supplement, 120 milliliters (ml) twice daily to provide an additional 240 calories and 20 grams of protein. The dietary assessment also reflected the resident had a deep tissue injury (pressure ulcer) to the coccyx per a skin grid assessment completed on 04/25/23. Resident #67 was noted to be at risk for decline in nutritional status per the Nutrition Risk Tool with a score of 9 (moderate risk for nutritional decline). The resident had nutritional diagnoses including malnutrition, chronic illness, severe muscle/fat loss, weight loss, and suboptimal intakes. Nutritional interventions included to discuss the importance of adequate nutrition to help aid in wound healing, encourage adequate calories, protein, nutrition supplements, and micronutrients to help in wound healing, encourage oral intake with at least 50% consumption at mealtimes, encourage snacking frequently between meals, and encourage compliance with fluid restrictions. Nutrition monitoring and evaluation included monitoring weights via weight report (paper weight book), monitor intakes, and skin integrity. The nutrition goals included the resident would consume at least 50% of meals, snack once daily, and consume Prostat (supplement) 30 ml daily with 100% consumption and house supplement 120 ml twice daily with 100% consumption. Review of Resident #67's paper medical record and electronic medical record (EMR) revealed no evidence a house supplement was ordered or administered to Resident #67 during the residents stay. Review of Resident #67's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 05/01/23 revealed the resident had severe cognitive impairment with a Brief Interview for Mental Status of three out of 15. The assessment revealed the resident required extensive assistance from two staff for bed mobility, transfers and toilet use, extensive assistance from one staff for dressing, supervision from staff for eating, and limited assistance from one staff for personal hygiene. The resident had no impairment to the upper or lower body and used a walker. The MDS assessment revealed the resident was at 366478 Page 2 of 22 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750

Review of Resident #67's treatment administration records dated 05/01/23 to 05/13/23 revealed the resident's 24-hour fluid intakes were documented to range from 360 ml to 600 ml during this time period. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #67's occupational therapy note dated 05/12/23 at 1:44 P.M. revealed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) #203 was not able to keep the resident's attention to task due to the resident falling asleep and confusion. COTA #203 took the resident to nurse's station completing communication with nursing pertaining to resident status. The resident was not unable to participate in therapy session this date secondary to mental status and lethargy. The note indicated nursing was looking into a possible urinary tract infection (UTI). Review of Resident #67's nursing progress notes, dated 05/12/23 through 05/13/23 revealed no evidence the physician was notified of the resident's change in condition reported by COTA #203.

F 0580 prevent deterioration (sepsis, hypotension). Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of the hospital admission notes, dated 05/14/23 revealed the resident was admitted to the hospital with diagnoses including toxic metabolic encephalopathy related to acute kidney injury, sepsis, urinary tract infection likely due to poor oral intakes and severe protein calorie malnutrition with temporal wasting, rib exposure with a body mass index under 19, and a Stage II pressure ulcer to the left buttocks. Residents Affected - Few On 05/24/23 at 10:32 A.M. interview with Regional Registered Dietitian (RRD) #197 verified Resident #67's diet was upgraded on 04/25/23 to a regular texture diet from a mechanical soft diet, however the dietary department never received the order or communication form. The only order/communication form the dietary department had received was the admission order for the mechanical soft textured diet. On 05/24/23 at 11:30 A.M. interview with ADON #120 revealed there was no documentation assessing the resident on 05/12/23 or 05/13/23. The ADON revealed the resident was skilled and should have had documentation completed at least once a day. ADON #120 revealed the resident was ordered a COVID test, laboratory testing including a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Basic Metabolic Profile (BMP) on 05/11/23 without any indication or documentation why it was ordered. The resident was also ordered a chest x-ray on 05/11/23 that indicated possible fluid overload, however there was no documentation to support the order or assessment of the resident after receiving the x-ray results. ADON #120 revealed she did not believe Resident #67 had a change of condition on 05/12/23 or 05/13/23; however there was no documented evidence to support the resident's condition except a phone interview that was completed on 05/24/23 by ADON #120, with LPN #174 and after the above concerns that had been identified by the State survey agency. On 05/24/23 at 12:33 P.M. interview with Resident #67's family, Family Member #199 revealed she rode in the squad on 05/14/23 to the emergency room (ER) with Resident #67. The family member stated when the squad transferred Resident #67 to the bed in the emergency room the emergency room (ER) nurse looked at Resident #67's skin and reported the resident had a bad pressure ulcer on her buttocks. During this interview and a subsequent interview on 05/31/23 at 2:19 P.M. Family Member #199 reported she had visited the resident in the facility on 05/12/23. On 05/14/23 when visiting, the family member felt the resident was confused and lethargic and asked the nurse to assess the resident. The resident's blood pressure was low, and she had asked the nurse to transfer the resident to the emergency room. The facility nurse reported to her (Family Member #199) and the ambulance driver Resident 67's had been like this for three days and had not eaten or consumed fluids. Family Member #199 revealed the facility had reported to them the resident's weight was 113 pounds but in the emergency room, the family was told the resident weighed 85 pounds. The family member denied the resident or herself reporting the resident weighed 85 pounds to hospital staff. Family Member #199 reported the family didn't understand why the resident was on fluid restriction because she had not been on a fluid restriction or special diet when she was in the hospital (prior to the nursing home admission). The family member also indicated the resident would not eat the mechanically altered diet provided by the facility. After being treated in the hospital, the resident was discharged to a different skilled nursing facility in the area and had done a complete 180 degree turn around (improvement). Family Member #199 revealed she had shown co-workers pictures of the resident while she was at the facility compared to the current skilled nursing facility and they couldn't believe the improvement. The resident had gained weight and was able to use Facetime and communicate with family. The resident reported to family that facility staff never checked on her, which she felt was accurate as when family visited no staff ever came in to check on the resident. 366478 Page 5 of 22 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750

The LPN reported she only documented on the treatment administration record (TAR) the fluids nursing staff administered. The STNA and LPN confirmed they do not calculate or document the fluids dietary provided. RRD #197 reported she was not aware staff were not monitoring or documenting the fluids dietary was providing on the meal trays. She thought 25% of the meal intakes staff were recording under the task tab in the EMR include fluids provided at mealtime. The RRD reported all residents, no matter the diagnosis, should have fluid monitoring. Nutritional intakes were more important than solid intakes. During the interview, RRD #197 verified Resident #67 was not receiving adequate fluids while in the facility especially given the admitting diagnosis to the hospital on [DATE]. On 05/24/23 at 3:30 P.M. interview with the Administrator confirmed the RD had ordered a house supplement, 120 ml twice daily on 04/27/23, however the order was never implemented, and the resident did not receive the supplement. On 05/25/23 at 11:36 A.M. interview with COTA #203 revealed Resident #67 was more confused and lethargic (on 05/12/23) so she took the resident back to the nurse's station to report the change of condition to the nurse. COTA #203 stated the nurse thought the resident had a urinary tract infection (UTI). On 05/25/23 at 12:45 P.M. interview with STNA #114 revealed she provided care to Resident #67 during the resident's stay. STNA #114 revealed the resident was confused but could let you know her needs. The resident would ask for fluids; however, since she was on a fluid restriction the nurses would have to provide fluids to the resident. STNA #114 revealed STNA staff did not monitor or document resident fluids intakes. The STNA indicated the resident was a tiny bony lady and required encouragement to eat, drink, and even to get out of bed. On 05/25/23 at 1:36 P.M. interview with Resident #67's primary care physician, who was also the facility medical director, Medical Director #196 revealed he was not aware of the nutritional concerns with Resident #67 including the failure to provide nutritional supplements, the lack of nutritional support with the resident being admitted to the facility with a pressure ulcer as well as developing a pressure ulcer during her stay, the resident's decreased meal intakes and fluid intakes, the facility not providing the resident the correct diet, the presence of thrush for several days before it was reported or the resident's condition change over the last few days of her stay until the time of this interview. The MD reported he was the only provider for the facility and he should be notified with changes in the resident's condition. On 05/25/23 at 3:16 P.M. interview with STNA #161 revealed Resident #67 was on a mechanical soft diet and would try to feed herself. STNA #161 recalled the family wanted the resident's diet upgraded to a regular diet due to the resident's poor intake. The STNA stated the resident's family would bring drinks and food in for Resident #67 even though she was on a fluid restriction and a mechanical soft diet. On 05/31/23 at 9:30 A.M. interview with Dietary Manger (DM) #104 confirmed Resident #67 never received the ordered upgrade to a regular diet because the order and/or communication form (used to notify dietary of orders or changes) was never sent to the dietary department. DM #104 verified the only written communication received about Resident #67's diet orders was on admission that indicated the resident required a mechanical soft diet. 366478 Page 6 of 22 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750

The patient does have a history of congestive heart failure, but it was felt the patient needed the intravenous fluids to tolerate the prescribed intravenous fluid orders. The patient was very thin and required the physician's vigilant attention to prevent deterioration (sepsis, hypotension). Review of the hospital admission notes, dated 05/14/23 revealed the resident was admitted to the hospital with diagnoses including toxic metabolic encephalopathy related to acute kidney injury, sepsis, urinary tract infection likely due to poor oral intakes and severe protein calorie malnutrition 366478 Page 11 of 22 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750
F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few with temporal wasting, rib exposure with a body mass index under 19, and a Stage II pressure ulcer to the left buttocks. On 05/24/23 at 11:30 A.M. interview with ADON #120 revealed there was no documentation assessing the resident on 05/12/23 or 05/13/23. The ADON revealed the resident was skilled and should have had documentation completed at least once a day. ADON #120 revealed the resident was ordered a COVID test, laboratory testing including a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Basic Metabolic Profile (BMP) on 05/11/23 without any indication or documentation why it was ordered. The resident was also ordered a chest x-ray on 05/11/23 that indicated possible fluid overload, however there was no documentation to support the order or assessment of the resident after receiving the x-ray results. ADON #120 revealed she did not believe Resident #67 had a change of condition on 05/12/23 or 05/13/23; however there was no documented evidence to support the resident's condition except a phone interview that was completed on 05/24/23 with LPN #151 and after the above concerns that had been identified by the State survey agency. On 05/24/23 at 12:33 P.M. interview with Resident #67's family, Family Member #199 revealed she rode in the squad on 05/14/23 to the emergency room (ER) with Resident #67. The family member stated when the squad transferred Resident #67 to the bed in the emergency room the emergency room (ER) nurse looked at Resident #67's skin and reported the resident had a bad pressure ulcer on her buttocks. During this interview and a subsequent interview on 05/31/23 at 2:19 P.M. Family Member #199 reported she had visited the resident in the facility on 05/12/23. On 05/14/23 when visiting, the family member felt the resident was confused and lethargic and asked the nurse to assess the resident. The resident's blood pressure was low, and she had asked the nurse to transfer the resident to the emergency room. The facility nurse reported to her (Family Member #199) and the ambulance driver Resident 67's had been like this for three days and had not eaten or consumed fluids. On 05/24/23 at 1:16 P.M. interview with STNA #124, STNA #188, and LPN #153 with RRD #197 revealed the STNA staff reported they did not include fluids as part of their meal intake documentation.

The STNA and LPN confirmed they do not calculate or document the fluids dietary provided. RRD #197 reported she was not aware staff were not monitoring or documenting the fluids dietary was providing on the meal trays. She thought 25% of the meal intakes staff were recording under the task tab in the EMR include fluids provided at mealtime. The RRD reported all residents, no matter the diagnosis, should have fluid monitoring. Nutritional intakes were more important than solid intakes. During the interview, RRD #197 verified Resident #67 was not receiving adequate fluids while in the facility especially given the admitting diagnosis to the hospital on [DATE]. On 05/25/23 at 11:36 A.M. interview with COTA #203 revealed Resident #67 was more confused and lethargic (on 05/12/23) so she took the resident back to the nurse's station to report the change of condition to the nurse.

Review of the hospital discharge summary plan dated, 04/24/23 revealed the resident had an echocardiogram (a scan used to look at the heart and near-by blood vessels) during her hospitalization that showed a grade one diastolic dysfunction (heart cannot fully fill during the diastolic part of the heartbeat). The resident's discharge orders revealed the resident required a cardiac 1500 milliliter (ml) fluid restriction daily (used to avoid overloading your heart if you have heart failure as more fluid in your bloodstream makes it harder for your heart to pump) and a minced moisture texture diet. Hospital discharge documentation noted the resident's stay was expected to be less 30-days at the skilled nursing facility. The resident's discharge instructions included a recommendation if you were told you had heart failure weigh yourself daily at the same time each day. Call your doctor and report right away if you gain more than three (3) pounds or more in one day or if you gain five (5) pounds or more in one week or if you have any heart failure symptoms. Closed record review revealed Resident #67 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and discharged to the hospital on [DATE].

The call from the facility was for an [AGE] year-old requiring transport to hospital. Upon arrival, fire department staff found a patient sitting in a chair with her family. The family stated she was not acting like herself. The patient did answer several of the questions asked of her but not all. The patient was complaining about her (bake?) being sore. Checked vitals while sitting and family stated the last time the resident was known to be feeling well was last Friday. The resident's vital signs were obtained which showed a blood pressure of 84/56 (hypotensive), pulse 90 (tachycardic) per minute, respirations 16 per minute, and pulse ox (oxygen saturation) of 96%. Review of Resident #67's hospital emergency room documentation dated 05/14/23 from 1:35 P.M. to 2:52 P.M. revealed the resident presented to the emergency room with complaints of altered mental status. The patient was sent from nursing home for lethargy. The resident's daughter was at bedside to assist with the history as patient did not answer questions. Family stated the patient was normally verbal and could walk; however noticed today she was just lying in bed and staring up. Patient would occasionally complain of having left hip pain. History was limited secondary to patient not answering questions. The resident's general appearance was chronically ill appearing, cachectic (a general state of ill health involving marked weight loss and muscle tone) and appeared very dehydrated on exam. The patient's mucus membranes were dry. The resident had a Grade 2 pressure ulcer over the sacrum; her skin was warm and dry with poor skin turgor. The patient would respond to painful stimuli but not verbal stimuli, would move all four extremities if agitated. The resident's blood pressure initially was hypotensive with a pressure of 70/30 (normal 120/80). The ER gave patient a fluid bolus to determine if her (blood) pressure was responsive. The patient does have a history of congestive heart failure, but it was felt the patient needed the intravenous fluids to tolerate the prescribed intravenous fluid orders. The patient was very thin and required the physician's vigilant attention to prevent deterioration (sepsis, hypotension). Review of the hospital admission notes, dated 05/14/23 revealed the resident was admitted to the hospital with diagnoses including toxic metabolic encephalopathy related to acute kidney injury, 366478 Page 18 of 22 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750
F 0692 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few sepsis, urinary tract infection likely due to poor oral intakes and severe protein calorie malnutrition with temporal wasting, rib exposure with a body mass index under 19, and a Stage II pressure ulcer to the left buttocks. Review of Resident #67's hospital dietary notes, dated 05/15/23 revealed the resident was at high nutritional risk as evidence supported by diagnosis of severe malnutrition based on weight decrease. The resident's estimated energy needs were not being met due to poor oral intake. The note indicated to recommend Ensure high protein supplement three times a day and obtain updated weight. The resident had intravenous fluids running at 75 ml hour at the time of visit and refused to consume ordered supplements due to lethargy. The resident was only consuming 10% of Ensure due to spilling most of it. The note indicated the resident would be tried with a magic cup to see if it improved intakes. The physical findings revealed the patient had severe muscle and fat depletion per ASPEN malnutrition guidelines; her orbital region had a hollow look, depressions, dark circles and loose skin; the temple region had significant hollowing and depression; the shoulder region had a prominent protruding (the bony process on the shoulder blade); prominent protruding clavicle bone; very little thickness of tricep skin fold; in her scapular region she had very visible bones with depressions between ribs/scapula (shoulder blade) and shoulder/spine; severe depression of the inner thigh muscles; bones prominent with little muscle present around the knee; little to no muscle definition in the posterior calf region.

First the RD reported she was not responsible for notifying the physician or families of weight changes. The RD reported she would email the MDS nurse and DON of any significant weight changes. During the second interview at 3:05 P.M., the RD reported she was responsible for notifying the physician of weight loss and she had just forgotten she was responsible as she had previously stated she was not the responsible person for reporting weight loss to the physician. She stated she would only report to the physician if there was a 5% weight loss in one month or 10% weight loss in six months, but not sooner. The RD revealed she was not familiar with the federal regulations for nursing homes as she was just hired last month and had no prior nursing home experience. The RD #198 reported she did not have facility policies and procedures to reference, and stated she would follow the medical nutrition therapy best practices for high risk areas. On 05/24/23 at 10:32 A.M. interview with Regional Registered Dietitian (RRD) #197 verified Resident #67's diet was upgraded on 04/25/23 to a regular texture diet from a mechanical soft diet, however the dietary department never received the order or communication form.

On 05/24/23 at 11:30 A.M. interview with ADON #120 revealed there was no documentation assessing the resident on 05/12/23 or 05/13/23. The ADON revealed the resident was skilled and should have had documentation completed at least once a day. ADON #120 revealed the resident was ordered a COVID test, laboratory testing including a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Basic Metabolic Profile (BMP) on 05/11/23 without any indication or documentation why it was ordered. The resident was also ordered a chest x-ray on 05/11/23 that indicated possible fluid overload, however there was no documentation to support the order or assessment of the resident after receiving the x-ray results. ADON #120 revealed she did not believe Resident #67 had a change of condition on 05/12/23 or 05/13/23; however there was no documented evidence to support the resident's condition except a phone interview that was completed on 05/24/23 with LPN #151 and after the above concerns that had been identified by the State 366478 Page 19 of 22 366478 06/08/2023 Waterview Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation 117 Bartlett Street Marietta, OH 45750

On 05/14/23 when visiting, the family member felt the resident was confused and lethargic and asked the nurse to assess the resident.

Family Member #199 revealed the facility had reported to them the resident's weight was 113 pounds but in the emergency room, the family was told the resident weighed 85 pounds. The family member denied the resident or herself reporting the resident weighed 85 pounds to hospital staff. Family Member #199 reported the family didn't understand why the resident was on fluid restriction because she had not been on a fluid restriction or special diet when she was in the hospital (prior to the nursing home admission). The family member also indicated the resident would not eat the mechanically altered diet provided by the facility. After being treated in the hospital, the resident was discharged to a different skilled nursing facility in the area and had done a complete 180 degree turn around (improvement).

During the interview, RRD #197 verified Resident #67 was not receiving adequate fluids while in the facility especially given the admitting diagnosis to the hospital on [DATE]. On 05/24/23 at 3:30 P.M. interview with the Administrator confirmed the RD had ordered a house supplement, 120 ml twice daily on 04/27/23, however the order was never implemented, and the resident did not receive the supplement.

The STNA indicated the resident was a tiny bony lady and required encouragement to eat, drink, and even to get out of bed. During the resident's stay, the resident had dried skin on the top of her buttocks and complained it was sore. On 05/25/23 at 1:36 P.M. interview with Resident #67's primary care physician, who was also the facility medical director, Medical Director #196 revealed he was not aware of the nutritional concerns with Resident #67 including the failure to provide nutritional supplements, the lack of nutritional support with the resident being admitted to the facility with a pressure ulcer as well as developing a pressure ulcer during her stay, the resident's decreased meal intakes and fluid intakes, the facility not providing the resident the correct diet, the presence of thrush for several days before it was reported or the resident's condition change over the last few days of her stay until the time of this interview. The MD reported he was the only provider for the facility and staff should notify him immediately with weight changes if they were significant or not and even if they occur sooner than one month or six months as indicated by the dietician. Weight loss needed to be addressed sooner than when the loss became significant. The MD reported he could not change the concerns identified for Resident #67 but stated he would make arrangements to meet with the dietitian to discuss the concerns and begin a corrective action plan.

The papers (used by the STNAs to document the resident weights) were then shredded. On 05/25/23 at 3:09 P.M. interview with RN #136 revealed she could not remember what Resident #67's weights were as the STNA staff obtained the weights; however, she thought the resident's weights varied.
