**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that the assessments accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 29 residents (Resident #57) reviewed for resident assessments, in that:
Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure Resident #57's discharge MDS, dated [DATE], was coded as a hospital discharge instead of a community discharge. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not having their individually assessed needs met. The findings were: Record review of Resident #57's face sheet, dated 10/26/2023, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses that included: end stage renal disease, vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance, and major depressive disorder.

During an interview on 10/26/2023 at 6:39 p.m., the DON stated the MDS Coordinator was responsible for coding the MDS' but that she, as the DON, looked over the information and signed off on it. The DON stated she believed there was no potential harm to the resident because he was already in a higher level of care than a nursing home. During an interview on 10/26/2023 at 7:16 p.m., the Administrator stated the MDS Coordinator and BOM were ultimately responsible to ensure MDS' were coded correctly. The Administrator stated there was always a potential harm to the resident but none noted at this time. Record review of the facility's policy titled, MDS Correction, revised 12/2022, revealed, The Assessment Coordinator and/or the Interdisciplinary Assessment Team will follow the established processes for making corrections to the MDS.

The facility did not change Resident #7's diet on for 10/24/2023 lunch from a soft & bite sized diet to a minced & moist diet as was revealed as a doctor's order on 10/23/2023. These failures could place residents who received food from the kitchen at risk for decreased meal satisfaction, potential weight loss due to poor meal intake, not having their nutritional needs met, and a decline in health status. The findings were: 1. A record review of Resident #4's face sheet on 10/25/2023 revealed an initial admission date of 05/10/2022 and was readmitted [DATE] with diagnoses which included aphasia (loss or impairment of the power to use or comprehend words usually resulting from brain damage) and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing food or liquid) following cerebral infarction (stroke), muscle wasting and atrophy, altered mental status. A record review of Resident #4's MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed BIMS should not be conducted for Resident #4 due to cognitive skills for daily decision-making being severely impaired and there are short-term and long-term memory problems present.

as: A diet used in the management of dysphagia with the food texture prepared as minced and moist. The food can be scooped and shaped into a ball shape and the size of the lump must be no greater than 4 mm x 15 mm (approximately 1/8-inch x 1/2-inch pieces) for adults. Biting is not required with this diet and only minimal chewing is needed. The foods are easily mashed with a fork and have no separate thin liquids. Record review of HPSI Diet manual, copyright 2023 revised, revealed, Soft & Bite Sized diet is defined as: A diet used in the dietary management of dysphagia with the food texture to be prepared as soft, tender, and moist with no separate thin liquid. The particle size of the food should be no greater than 15 mm x 15 mm (approximately 1/2 x 1/2 pieces) for adults. Biting is not required, but chewing is required. The diet does require the resident to have adequate tongue force to move the bolus to prevent aspiration. And All prepared food should be tested for texture and piece size before service. During an observation and a combined interview on 10/25/2023 with the RD and Resident #4's significant other, starting at 12:58 PM, Resident #4 received a soft and bite sized meal instead of a minced and moist meal even though her 10/25/23 lunch meal tray ticket reflected a minced and moist diet. Meats were long and rectangular (with a length greater than ½-inch) instead of small and cubed as was reflected in the recipe. This observation was confirmed with the RD. Resident #4 also did not receive a magic cup that was reflected on her lunch meal tray ticket. This observation was also confirmed with the RD. Resident #4's significant other verified the lunch meal tray did not have a magic cup. The RD did try to take the meal from Resident #4 to give her the correct textured diet. However, Resident #4's significant other stopped the RD because the significant other did not want Resident #4 to receive the minced and moist meal. The RD identified that this can be a choking hazard. During an interview on 10/26/2023 at 06:40 PM, the ADMN revealed that if a resident did not receive a magic cup, they could lose extra calories and be at risk for weight loss. 2. A record review of Resident #7's admission record on 10/24/2023 revealed an admission date of 10/05/2023 with diagnoses which included altered mental status, cognitive communication deficit, dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing food or liquid), and lack of coordination.

During an interview and observation on 10/24/2023 at 1:17 PM, the DM reported the potatoes & onions side dish were mashed potatoes for Resident #7's meal. Upon review of the 10/24/2023 lunch meal tray ticket, an updated lunch meal tray ticket should have been printed; the DM revealed that Resident #7's diet should have been NAS/CC Minced & Moist. The DM further revealed that the ST T had probably given her a pink communication slip and the system to print tray tickets was not updated. The DM further revealed that after the ST T updated a diet, this should be updated in between meal services. During an interview on 10/24/2023 at 4:44 PM, the ST T reported that the lunch tray ticket for Resident #7 appeared to not be updated in time for 10/24/2023 lunch. The ST T revealed that if the tray tickets were already printed out that the update would need to be handwritten on the ticket that was printed out. The ST T further revealed that if a downgraded diet was not updated in time, a resident is at risk for choking. Also, if an upgraded diet was not updated in time, the resident could possibly not be satisfied with the meal. During an interview on 10/26/23 at 5:35 PM, the DON revealed that a resident should not receive the wrong textured diet because the nurse should check and correct it before passing it to the resident. If a resident received an upgraded diet, like a regular diet, and they were supposed to receive a doctor prescribed downgraded diet, like a pureed diet, resident could aspirate, may not be able to chew, and decrease nutrient intake. If a resident received a downgraded diet instead of their doctor prescribed upgraded diet, a resident could not want to eat their meal. The DON also revealed that adding a magic cup to meals would be needed for wound healing and to prevent weight loss. Record review of the HPSI diet manual and Record Review of HPSI Policy and Procedures, copyright 2017 revised, defines therapeutic diets as, Therapeutic Diets as well as texture modifications for diets must be prescribed by the attending physician . Fortified foods are considered a therapeutic diet. Record Review of HPSI Policies and Procedures revealed Section D: Food Production . IV. Food Service Temperature Control .N. Textures . 1.

Policy: A tray card will be issued for each resident . Procedure: 1. Upon receipt of a diet communication slip from nursing containing a new or changed diet order, the Nutrition Services staff will prepare a tray card for the resident 4.

Prior to serving the tray, the nurse aide must check the tray card to assure that the correct tray is being served to the resident. If there is doubt, the charge nurse should be notified and the chart checked for the current physician's order.
