Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy, review of clinical records, resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to monitor meal and nutritional supplement consumption for one of one resident reviewed for nutritional status.
