Review of Resident R1's Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS- periodic assessment of resident care needs) dated 2/8/24, indicated that the diagnoses were current upon review. Review of a physician order dated 2/27/24, indicated for Resident R1 to have built up red foam utensil and divided plate for all meals. Further review indicated the order was updated following the incident to include using a sip-a-cup for hot beverages. Review of the Kardex dated 3/10/24, indicated eating/swallowing to maintain current level of function and prevent avoidable decline.

Review of a facility submitted documents dated 3/10/24, indicated Resident R1 was given a cup of coffee in a styrofoam cup during the Coffee Club activity. The cup was placed in the resident's left hand (non-dominant) and spilled the coffee on himself resulting in two areas of redness on his abdomen measuring 10.0 centimeters (cm) by 5.0 cm, and 5.0 cm by 5.0 cm. The resident had on a cloth clothing protector and a t-shirt. Resident R1's skin remained intact.
