Review of the Facility' Resident Weight policy reflected that the following assessments and Recognition:Nursing Policy & Procedure Manual undatedAll residents will be weighed by the 10th of the month and their weights documented correctly. Appropriate actions regarding significant changes will be carried out.Procedure:1. Weights shall be obtained and documented at admission, readmission, and monthly unless ordered otherwise by the physician, or unless dictated more frequently by the residents' condition. Factors indicating the need for more frequent weights include significant weight loss, drastic decrease in food consumption, prolonged nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, significant weight gain, swelling or edema, poor appetite during adjustment period to the facility, recent change from tube feeding to oral intake, or pressure ulcers that are not resolving as expected.The Dietary Profile will be completed upon admission and quarterly thereafter by the dietary manager.

The RD and dietary manager will also chart in the dietary Progress Notes as needed regarding visits, nutritional issues, updates to food preferences, etc.4. All residents must be weighed as indicated, unless otherwise ordered by the attending physician. Pre-medicate resident for pain or discomfort, as per physician's orders, as needed prior to weighting.7.

A significant weight change will be defined as 5% or greater in one month, 7.5% or greater in three months, or 10% or greater in six months. The weight change will be recorded on the appropriate weight watcher's form along with interventions, and follow-up will also be recorded in the designated location. The physician and family will be notified. In addition, an acute care plan for weight loss will be initiated and the clinical record reviewed for possible need of a significant change of condition MDS assessment.
