This deficient practice compromised Resident 50's ability to independently feed herself.Findings: During a review of Resident 50's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 50 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 50's diagnoses included dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure). …
B · No harm, potential for minimal, patternMay 18, 2018
Based on observation, interview, and medical record review, the facility failed to ensure the plate guard (a curved metal assistive device which attaches to the plate to allow the resident to scoop food onto a fork or spoon) was provided for one of 12 final sampled residents (Resident 10). This had the potential for the resident not being able to maintain their ability to eat independently and negatively impact their quality of life.
Findings:
On 8/23/18 at 1210 hours, a dining room observation was conducted. Resident 10 was observed sitting up in the wheelchair in the dining room for lunch. Resident 10 drank coffee and lemonade. Resident 10 had eaten approximately 10% of the pureed food on the plate.
Review of the meal ticket showed the use of a plate guard. …
