guidance regarding measures that nursing staff should take if a resident exceeds their ordered fluid
restrictions. Review of Resident 11's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included acute on chronic
diastolic congestive heart failure (heart failure that occurs when the heart does not relax properly between
beats, causing the heart to be unable to pump an adequate amount of blood to the body) and hypertensive
heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure (a medical condition that develops from prolonged,
poorly managed high blood pressure, which causes progressive damage in both the heart and kidneys).

Resident 11's clinical record failed to reveal any documentation of fluids Resident 11 consumed from her
meal trays from August 1, 2025, through March 17, 2026, and, therefore, Resident 11's total fluid
consumption in each 24-hour period was not determined. During a staff interview with the Nursing Home
Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) on March 19, 2026, at 11:00 AM, the DON confirmed that
there was no documentation of what fluids Resident 11 consumed with her meals. She indicated that nurse

was no dietary fluid intake recorded with Resident 11's meal intake documentation. She confirmed that
Resident 11 did exceed allotted nursing fluids on occasions and that there was no documentation to show
that all Resident 11's fluids were totaled for each 24-hr period. She confirmed that she would expect staff to
follow a resident's ordered fluid
