Interview on 10/27/22 at 8:52 AM with the Consultant Dietitian revealed she went to the facility once a
month and reviewed weights. She stated she would have been made aware of Resident #7's significant
weight loss when she went to the facility on [DATE] and reviewed the resident's weights.
Observation and interview on 10/27/22 at 10:05 AM revealed CNA E weighed Resident #7 in her
wheelchair and scale which showed the residents weight as 134.4 lbs. CNA E stated she weighed Resident
#7 with her wheelchair cushion which was 35.4 lbs. She stated to get Resident #7's weight you subtract the
weight of the wheelchair. She stated the weight of Resident #7 was 98 lbs. CNA E stated she weighed
Resident #7 for the last couple of months.
Interview on 10/27/22 at 10:18 AM with Resident #7's physician revealed he would have ordered Resident
#7 Remeron as an appetite stimulant when notified of significant weight loss. He stated when he ordered
Resident #7's Remeron medication on 10/04/22 that would have been the time he was notified of the
significant weight loss. He expected nurses to notify him immediately of significant weight loss of a resident
so he could put the resident on Remeron medication or other interventions. He stated Remeron
medications took about 2-3 weeks to get into the resident's system before it started assisting the resident to
increase appetite. He stated a delay in notification of significant weight loss would put a delay in
interventions like Remeron medication being added.
Attempted interview with LVN H via telephone on 10/27/22 at 11:18 AM was unsuccessful.
Interview on 10/27/22 at 12:05 PM with the ADON revealed Resident #7's physician should have been

physician, orders and interventions could be put in place to address the weight loss. She stated the
previous DON updated the acute care plans for significant weight loss. She stated Resident #7 could have
been placed on Remeron medication sooner if the physician was notified when the significant weight loss
occurred. She stated the physician notification should be documented in the nurse's note about the
resident's significant weight loss.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Nutrition (Impaired)/Unplanned Weight Loss - Clinical Protocol
reflected The staff will report to the physician significant weight gains or losses or any abrupt or persistent
change from baseline appetite or food intake.
