F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Record review of DON's progress notes dated 9/6/2022 Weight change note: resident with weight loss no significant changes. New Order for weekly weights x4. Record review of Resident #29 electronic weight records revealed weight dated 7/5/2022 as 182.1 lbs, weight dated 8/4/2022 as 179.8 lbs, and weight dated 9/1/2022 as 166.9 lbs. There were no records of any weekly weights taken. During an interview on 9/29/22 at 12:02 pm, DON stated whenever there was a professional recommendation, the facility's process was to run the recommendations by the physician via a communication form, if the physician agreed with the recommendations, then it will be implemented. She stated the time frame for implementing an order is 48-72 hours. She stated Resident #29 had some recent weight changes, but it was not believed that the resident had a weight loss. She stated the resident did not have any indications of weight loss, and there was no concern about the resident's diet. She stated it was believed that the facility scale was inaccurate, due to the scale being moved from the Memory Care Unit sometime in August 2022 due to ongoing renovations, and the scale needed recalibration. She stated the Dietician recommended a weekly weight x4 for Resident #29 to establish a new baseline weight for the resident. She stated she was responsible for coordinating resident weights at the facility. She admitted that Resident #29 weights had not been taken and recorded weekly since the Dietician's recommendation. She stated it was probably due to no internet connectivity, and the recent ongoing renovation within the facility. She stated the Dietician's recommendation on weekly weights x 4 did not require the physician's approval. She stated there was no risk associated with the failure to follow the Dietician's recommendation of weekly weights x4, because Resident #29 ate well, and it was believed that the scale needed recalibration due to moving it recently. During an interview on 9/29/22 at 12:18 pm, Resident #29 stated her weights were taken once monthly, around the first of the month, she stated the next weight will be taken probably around the weekend (October 1, 2022). She stated she used to be an overweight person, but she lost weight and then gained it back. She stated she wanted to loss more weight because she had arthritis and she had a lot of weight on her back. During an interview on 9/29/22 at 01:20 pm, the Dietician stated whenever she gave a recommendation, her expectation was for the facility to get a physician's approval and then implement it within 72 hours. She stated the recommendation for Resident #29 weekly weight x4 was at the physician's discretion to agree or not. She stated the weekly weight was recommended because she was aware that the facility scale was recalibrated, and there was a need to get a new baseline weight for Resident #29. However, there was no concern about the resident's diet. She also stated the weekly weight was dependent on if the resident agreed to allow staff to take her weight. She stated the negative outcome associated with the facility not following her recommendation included, Resident #29 was at risk of further weight loss, and a decline in independence. During an attempted interview on 9/29/2022 at 1:40 pm, the Physician was telephoned but there was no response. A voice message was left with a call back number. The Physician did not callback before exit. Record review of progress notes from 9/6/22 through 9/29/22 revealed there was no documentation of weight refusals.
