This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to consult with the resident's physician when there was a significant change in the resident's physical and mental status that is, a deterioration in health, mental, or psychosocial status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications for 1 of 6 (Resident #2) residents reviewed for notification of change. The facility failed to notify Resident #2's physician of a weight loss of 9.8 lbs. in 8 days. These failures could result in residents with weight loss not receiving treatments, supplements, or nutrition needed to maintain acceptable and desired weight and nutritional needs for healing. Findings Include: 1. Record review of a face sheet dated [DATE] indicated Resident #2 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses pressure ulcer (injury to the skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin) of the sacral region (area located below the lumbar spine and above the tailbone), dementia, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, and lack of coordination. Record review of the MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #2 was usually understood by others and usually understood others. The MDS indicated Resident #2 had a BIMS of 05 and was severely cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #2 required set-up assistance with eating. The MDS indicated Resident #2 did not have any swallowing issues. The MDS indicated Resident #2 had a weight of 180 lbs. The MDS indicated Resident #2 had not had a weight loss of 5% or more in a month. Record review of the care plan last updated [DATE] indicated Resident #2 was admitted to the facility with a stage IV pressure ulcer (pressure sore that extends below the subcutaneous fat into the deep tissues, including muscle, tendons, and ligaments) to the sacrum. Record review of the vital report dated [DATE] through [DATE] indicated Resident #2 had the following weights: *173.3 lbs. - [DATE]. *173 lbs. - [DATE]. *163.5 lbs. - [DATE]. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Record review of the progress notes dated [DATE] through [DATE] indicated the physician was not notified of Resident #2's weight loss. The progress notes indicated there was not a dietician consult requested for Resident #2. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:12 a.m. the DON said the ADON received the weights and if a significant weight loss was noted the ADON should notify the physician, ensure supplements and snacks were in place, and request a dietician consult. The DON said the dietician came to the facility monthly. The DON said notifications to the physician and requests for consults should be documented. During an interview on [DATE] at 1:50 p.m. the ADON said she assisted with performing weights on residents. The ADON said she entered weights into the computer except for weekly weights and it was the responsibility of the charge nurses to enter weekly weights into the computer. The ADON said if a resident had a significant weight loss it would be the responsibility of whoever discovered the weight loss to notify the physician. The ADON said physician notification and dietician consult requests should be documented in the progress notes. The ADON said she was not aware of Resident #2 having a weight loss and did not know why a notification to the physician had not been done. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:15 p.m. the ADON said she was unsure about the weight loss on Resident #2. The ADON said she could not confirm whether the recorded weight loss for Resident #2 was a clinical error or not. The ADON said she had performed the weight on Resident #2 on [DATE]. The ADON said she thought she had weighed Resident #2 via mechanical lift (a device used to assist with transfers and movement of individuals who require support for mobility beyond the manual support provided by caregivers alone). The ADON said Resident #2 had been weight via wheelchair and the wheelchair weight not figured properly it could have been a clinical error. The ADON said all wheelchairs in the facility should be marked with their weight to properly calculate a resident's weight who was weighed in a wheelchair. The ADON said the weight of a resident in a wheelchair might fluctuate depending if the foot pieces were on the wheelchair when the resident was weighed or not. The ADON said there should not be a 9.5 lb. weight difference between a wheelchair weight and a mechanical lift weight. The ADON said Resident #2's family had been at the facility on [DATE] and informed her he had expired. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:32 pm LVN D said she remembered Resident #2. LVN D said she performed Resident #2's weights on [DATE] and [DATE]. LVN D said she had used the same wheelchair and scale when weighing Resident #2 on both days. LVN D she did notice Resident #2's weight loss from [DATE] to [DATE]. LVN D said she had planned on speaking with Resident #2's physician regarding his weight loss, but the physician did not return her call. LVN D said there was no way to prove she had attempted to contact the physician as she did not document it. LVN D said she did not notify anyone else regarding Resident #2's weight loss. LVN D said the importance of reporting the weight loss was that it was a significant change. During an interview on [DATE] at 9:10 a.m. the DON said weight loss was monitored monthly. The DON said once all the weights were entered into the system a monthly report was printed to review any significant weight changes. The DON said if a nurse noticed a significant weight loss, she would expect the nurse to reweigh the resident to determine there was not a discrepancy and to notify the physician. The DON said the importance in recognizing weight losses and reporting weight losses to the physician was to aide in the resident maintaining good nutrition. The DON said maintaining good nutrition could possibly aide in wound healing.
