F 0698 Provide safe, appropriate dialysis care/services for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was receiving dialysis (the process of removing waste products and excess fluid from /the body when the kidneys are not able to adequately filter the blood) received more than the prescribed fluid per day, for one of two sampled residents reviewed for dialysis (Resident 285) (Cross Reference F656). Residents Affected - Few This failure placed Resident 285's care needs to go unmet and had the potential to result in fluid overload. Findings: On December 3, 2023, at 12:15 p.m., a concurrent lunch meal observation, interview, and record review was conducted with Resident 285 at the bedside. Resident 285's meal tray ticket was reviewed and indicated .Renal diet .4 ounces (oz - a unit of measurement) (120 ml [milliliter - unit of measurement]) cranberry juice, 4 oz (120 ml) milk Resident 285's meal ticket did not indicate if the resident required fluid restriction. Resident 285 was observed being served 120 ml cranberry juice and 120 ml milk with her lunch tray. In a concurrent interview, Resident 285 stated she had poor appetite. On December 3, 2023, at 12:32 p.m., Resident 285 was observed to have eaten only 75% of the dessert and did not touch the beverages served on her lunch meal tray. On December 3, 2023, Resident 285's record was reviewed. Resident 285's admission Record, indicated Resident 285 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included end stage renal disease (ESRD - a disease with kidney failure) and dependence on renal dialysis. Resident 285's Order Summary Report, included a physician's order, dated November 23, 2023, which indicated, .1500 ml fluid restriction breakdown as follows .AM/Dietary: 240 ml .Lunch meal dietary 120 ml .Dinner 240 ml . On December 4, 2023, at 12:35 p.m., Resident 285 was observed to have 4 oz (120 ml) of cranberry juice and 4 oz milk. The meal ticket indicated Resident 285 was to receive 4 oz of cranberry juice and 4 oz milk during lunch. On December 4, 2023, at 12:53 p.m., Registered Dietitian (RD) 1 was interviewed. RD 1 verified Resident 285 was served 4 oz milk and 4 oz cranberry juice. On December 5, 2023, at 9:40 a.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1. She stated Resident 285 has a physician order for 1500 ml fluid restriction with specific fluid breakdown with each meal and ordered to the kitchen. She stated the physician order indicated Resident 285 was to receive 120 ml fluid during lunch meal. Resident 285's meal ticket was concurrently reviewed with LVN 1, she stated Resident 285 received 120 ml of cranberry juice and 120 ml of milk during lunch. She stated Resident 285 received extra 120 ml of fluid during lunch. LVN 1 stated the physician order for fluid restriction breakdown was not transferred into Resident 285's meal tray ticket. LVN 1 stated there was a potential risk for Resident 285 to receive extra fluid than the physician ordered and could lead to fluid overload.

F 0698 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Director of Nursing (DON). She stated Resident 285 had a physician order for 1500 ml fluid restriction with specific breakdown per meal the kitchen should give and how much nursing staff could give per shift. The DON stated the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) was supposed to receive the dietary communication slip regarding Resident 285's physician ordered for fluid restriction and each meal fluid breakdown on November 23, 2023. She stated after comparing Resident 285's meal ticket and physician order, the DON acknowledged Resident 285 received extra 120 ml with breakfast and 120 ml for lunch and totally extra 240 ml fluid per day. The DON stated there could be potential risk for Resident 285 to get extra fluid and could worsen the kidney functions and fluid overload. The DON expectation was for the nursing staff to check the physician fluid restriction ordered and the dietary staff should serve the amount of fluid as prescribed by the physician on each meal tray. On December 5, 2023, at 12:02 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review was conducted with the CDM. The CDM admitted she was unable to locate the dietary communication slip regarding physician ordered for fluid restriction and each meal fluid breakdown for Resident 285 on November 23, 2023. The CDM stated Resident 285's meal tray ticket did not indicate the breakdown for the ordered fluid restriction. The CDM stated, Maybe I misplaced the order. On December 5, 2023, at 3:36 p.m., Registered Dietitian (RD) 1 was interviewed. RD 1 stated she was in charge to breakdown Resident 285's fluid restriction and nursing was in charge to call the doctor to get approval for the RD recommendation. She stated a dietary communication slip was to be given to the kitchen indicating the fluid restriction breakdown ordered for each meal. RD 1 stated the CDM was in charge to put the fluid restriction breakdown with each meal into the tray card system (computer program). She stated the tray card system would generate the amount of fluids as per physician order in the meal tray tickets. She stated the dietary staff then would serve the amount of fluid as indicated in the meal tray tickets to the residents. RD 1 stated there could be potential risk for fluid overload, affect the dialysis treatment, hydration status, and kidney function, when prescribed fluids were not followed. RD 1 stated her expectation was the dietary staff should have followed the fluid restriction ordered by the physician. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Physician Orders, revised May 2015, indicated, .It is the policy of this facility that all physician orders must be followed by the facility licensed nurses or authorized personnel . A review of the facility's undated policy and procedure titled Fluid Restrictions, indicated, .The Physician will order the fluid restriction in total cc's (ml's) per 24 hours .Nursing will provide a diet order communication form for all fluid restriction orders .
