**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record reviews and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure initial weight
was accurately taken for baseline, and reweighting was timely done to address a significant weight change
for one of two residents reviewed (Resident CL1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident CL1's clinical record revealed Resident CL1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], for
skilled rehab. The resident was receiving a GT (Gastrostomy Tube - medical device used to provide nutrition
to people who cannot obtain nutrition by mouth) feeding.
Review of Resident CL1's weights and vitals revealed an admission weight of 230 pounds taken with a bed
scale on April 2, 2024. On April 3, 2024, the resident's weight was 230 pounds also taken with a bed scale.
On April 17, 2024, the resident's weight was 234 sitting, on April 24, 2024, the weight was 233.4 pounds
taken with a mechanical lift. On April 25, 2024, Resident CL1's weight was 199.8 pounds sitting, a 33.5
(14.40) weight loss in one day. A reweight was not done until May 1, 2024, six days after a significant
weight change was identified and revealed a weight of 201.8 which was still a significant weight loss.
Review of Resident CL1's Dietitian's note dated April 25, 2024, at 2:45 p.m., revealed resident noted a
significant weight change, weight on April 25, 2024, is likely incorrect, reweight requested.
Interview with the Registered Dietitian was conducted on June 10, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. The dietitian
reported that the 33.5 weight loss in a day was identified but believed that the weight was done incorrectly
so a reweight was requested. The dietitian reported that nursing does re-weight and must be done within 24
hours after a significant change was identified. The dietitian was unable to explain a 33.5 pounds weight
loss in one day.
Interview with the licensed nurse Employee E2, conducted on June 10, 2024, at 11:30 a.m., revealed that
the facility does not have a bed scale, a weighing scale used to obtain Resident CL1's baseline weight on
April 2, and 3, 2024. Employee E2 also confirmed that re-weigh should have been done within 24 hours
when a significant weight change was identified.
