Interview with Speech Therapist on 06/07/23, revealed Resident #1 was at risk for pneumonia and it is recommended that this resident not receive liquids through a straw as it would be consumed too fast. Resident #2 had a diet order recommendation and a swallow test on file, resident is at risk of aspiration if liquid is consumed too fast. Interview with the DON on 06/07/23, revealed meal tickets are generated through point click care with notes and their recommendations from resident's doctor's orders, and care plan interventions. Meal tickets are checked prior to being placed on the table and again prior to residents receiving their food. Interview with CNA A on 06/07/23, revealed I noticed I made a mistake, I gave a resident a straw that was not supposed to have a straw. We look at the ticket on the table to verify that they are receiving the right food. The risk is fluid can go down a resident and cause her to choke.
