requirements set forth in paragraph (c) of this
section.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review the
facility failed to develop, review, and revise the
care plans in accordance with the
comprehensive assessments for one out of
three residents (Resident 1).
Resident 1 was assessed as a high risk for
weight loss and had a history of deep vein
thrombosis (DVT- blood thickens and clumps
together on to vein mostly occur in the lower
leg or thigh) on her right leg. Resident 1's care
plan to manage her nutritional needs and
weight loss were not revised to include RD
recommendations, and reviewed or reevaluated when the interventions to prevent
further weight loss were ineffective. Resident
1's care plan to prevent skin breakdown did not
include peripheral vascular disease (PVD, also
known as DVT), which caused a decrease in
tissue perfusion, as a risk factor for skin
breakdown. There was no care plan developed
to manage the decrease in tissue perfusion in
the lower extremities.
This deficient practice had the potential to
result in unmet needs.
Findings:
On 7/19/17 at 11 a.m., an unannounced visit
was conducted to the facility to investigate an
allegation of neglect regarding Resident 1's
significant weight loss and development of a
wound on Resident 1's right foot.
On 7/19/17 at 11:25 a.m., during an
observation, Resident 1 was in her bed

wrapped around her right foot. Resident 1's
right foot was not elevated.
A review of Resident 1's Record of Admission
indicated the resident was readmitted to the
facility on 5/10/17 with diagnoses that included
muscles weakness, dementia (long term and
often gradual decrease in the ability to think
and remember that is great enough to affect a
person's daily functioning) and diabetes
mellitus (a metabolism disorder that affects the
body's ability to use blood sugar).
A review of Resident 1's Weekly Weight
Monitoring form indicated the resident's
readmission weight was 99 lbs.
A review of Resident 1's History and Physical
(H & P) form, dated 5/11/17, indicated
Resident 1 did not have the capacity to
understand and make decisions. Resident 1's
H & P, dated 6/23/16, indicated Resident
1's diagnosis included deep vein thrombosis
(DVT- blood thickens and clumps together in
the blood vessels that occur in the lower leg or
thigh) on the right leg.
A review of Resident 1's Care Plan for
Nutrition, dated 5/10/17, indicated that
Resident 1 was at risk for nutritional needs.
Resident 1's care plan goal indicated the
resident would not have a weight loss of 5 lbs
monthly. The interventions included Resident
1's weight would be monitored and recorded,
and the physician would be notified. There was
no revisions made on this care plan to include
RD recommendations made after 5/10/17 for
nutritional supplements.

for Skin Breakdown," dated 5/10/17, indicated

A review of Resident 1's Nutritional
Assessment (an evaluation tool to gather
information to an individual's food and nutrient
intake, lifestyle, and medical history) form,
dated 5/12/17 and completed by the RD,
indicated Resident 1 was a high risk for
excessive weight loss. The form indicated the
RD's plan to implement for Resident 1 was to

diet, no concentrated sweets, Pro-Stat sugar
free (a ready-to-drink medical food for wounds
and protein energy malnutrition) three times a
day, and health shakes 4 ounces (oz.) daily at

A review of Resident 1's Vital Sign Flow Sheet

- On 6/17/17, the resident's weight was 83 lbs,
a decrease of 16 lbs five (5) weeks from
readmission.
- On 7/7/17, the resident's weight was 77 lbs, a
decrease of six (6) lbs four weeks from 6/17/17.
Resident 1 lost 22 lbs from readmission.
A review of Resident 1's care plan for weight
loss, dated 6/17/17, indicated the resident's
current weight was 83 lbs. The goal was
Resident 1's weight would be stable in 30 days.

group of health care professionals from diverse
fields who work in a coordinated fashion toward
a common goal for the resident), to develop a
plan of care that addressed the needs and
goals of Resident 1.
These deficient practices resulted in the
progression of Resident 1's right plantar foot
skin discoloration to gangrene (death of a body
tissue due to lack of blood flow or serious
bacterial infection) the next day. These
deficient practices had the potential for
Resident 1 to lose a body part.

Resident 1 was at risk for skin breakdown
related to diabetes mellitus (DM) decrease

1's right foot was cold on palpation (an
examination by touch), had a dark gangrenous
color on the right big and second toe (next to
the big toe), and it was tender to touch.
Resident 1's pulses on post tibial (area near

nurse endorsed to her last night that Resident
1's right foot was red, not put a sock on the
right foot and to elevate the right foot. LVN 1
stated Resident 1's right foot should be slightly
elevated on a pillow to protect from further
breakdown (by improving blood circulation).
On 7/19/17 at 3:15 p.m., during a concurrent
interview and review of Resident 1's medical
record with the director of nursing (DON 1), she
stated Resident 1's record did not indicate a
care plan on risk of decrease tissue perfusion

1 was not assessed and monitored for the
progression of right plantar foot skin
discoloration to gangrene of the right foot. DON
1 stated Resident 1 was not assessed and
monitored for right foot pulses. The DON stated
there was no interdisciplinary meeting

comprehensive assessment, the facility must
ensure that a resident(1) Maintains acceptable parameters of
nutritional status, such as usual body weight or

3. Implement the RD's recommendation within
five days.
4. Ensure that Resident 1 received the
recommended nutritional supplement and
monitor Resident 1's intake of the nutritional
supplement.
5. Conduct a complete Interdisciplinary (IDT, a
group of health care professionals from diverse
fields who work in a coordinated fashion toward
a common goal for the resident) weight
management care plan.
Resident 1, who was assessed as a high risk
for weight loss, had a readmission weight of 99
pounds (lbs). The RD made dietary
recommendations on 5/12/17 but the physician
made an order to implement the RD
recommendation on 5/22/17 because the
licensed nurses failed to notify the physician.
The facility did not monitor the resident's weight
weekly in accordance with the facility's policy
and procedure. On 6/17/17, Resident 1 lost 16
lbs from readmission. The physician ordered a
dietary (RD) consult but the RD evaluated the
resident on 7/7/17, 20 days after the physician
order was made due to lack of communication
from the licensed nurses. The IDT conducted a
weight management care planning on 6/17/17
and 7/7/17 but the IDT did not develop
interventions to prevent further weight loss and
documentation of an effort to determine the
cause of the weight loss. On 7/7/17, Resident 1
lost six more pounds.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1's
weight loss of 22 lbs. in 8 weeks from
readmission.

indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on 4/9/13 and was transferred to GACH
on 5/4/17 due to tachypnea (rapid breathing)
and tachycardia (rapid heart beat). During the
hospitalization, Resident 1's family wanted a do
not resuscitate status (DNR) status and refused
tube feeding for the resident, and was aware
that the resident was at a high risk for recurrent
dehydration with aspiration pneumonia (occurs
when food, saliva, liquids, or vomit is breathed
into the lungs or airways leading to the lungs,
instead of being swallowed into the esophagus
and stomach).
A review of Resident 1's Record of Admission
indicated the resident was readmitted to the
facility on 5/10/17 with diagnoses that included
muscle weakness, dementia (long term and
often gradual decrease in the ability to think
and remember that is great enough to affect a
person's daily functioning) and diabetes
mellitus (a metabolism disorder that affects the
body's ability to use blood sugar). Resident 1
