the person weighs 80-100 pounds over their ideal body weight) and protein-calorie malnutrition (nutritional
status in reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in body composition and function).
Review of Resident 36's progress note dated July 20, 2023, by Employee 3 (Clinical Dietary Director)

weight loss was beneficial.
Review of Resident 36's care plan revealed a care plan focus for nutritional risk, dated May 31, 2023. The
care plan revealed no revisions indicating the significant weight loss experienced by Resident 36 as stated
above. It was noted that one of the care plan goals indicated it would be beneficial for [Resident 36] to

weight losses and that they were updating the care plan. The DON confirmed that she would expect the
care plan to have been updated if the Resident had a significant weight loss.
During an interview with Employee 3 on August 17, 2023, at 1:30 PM, Employee 3 indicated that they had
updated the care plan for the significant weight loss, and that they had not done so prior since it was
documented on Resident 39's care plan that weight loss would be beneficial. Employee 3 did confirm that
Resident 39 had experienced a significant weight loss.

excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder
