She indicated the reweights were done the same day as the most recent weight that prompted the need to verify the weight. On 7/18/14 at 10:46 a.m. the Medical Records LPN and DON were interviewed regarding Resident #24. She indicated the following: regarding the physician order [REDACTED]." At the time, the DON looked in the computer system to see if the physician had been notified of the weight 8.3 lb weight gain in 1 day and she was unable to find documentation the physician had been notified of this. She indicated the first time the physician was notified was on 4/15/14. They indicated the nurse who documented the weight on 4/8/14 of 97.1 lb would have compared it to the weight of 88.8 lbs on 4/7/14. They indicated the nurse who took the weights would then have looked back to the resident's admission weight on 4/7/14, which the Medical Records LPN indicated was 99 lbs, which was documented on another form. The MR LPN indicated the weight of 88.8 lb on 4/7/14 was probably an "entry error" from the nurse who performed the daily weights. The MR LPN indicated the weight of 88.8 lb, could have been corrected to reflect the "actual" admission weight of 99 lbs. but had not been. 2. On 7/18/14 at 9:25 a.m., the MR LPN provided a copy of the "Monthly Weights" for July 2014. This form indicated to "re-weigh of (sic) greater than a 5 lb difference." The form included, but was not limited to, the following: For Resident #20, the June Weight was documented as 209.5 lb, July weight as 190.8 lb and the reweight was 197.5 lb. The MR LPN indicated this resident had been monitored with daily weights. 3. The "Monthly Weights" form also indicated Resident #5 had the following weights documented: June weight was 97.1 lb; July weight was 86.3 lb and the reweight was 100.4 lbs. The MR LPN indicated the days shift staff always weighed the residents and they try to weigh them in the morning before breakfast. She indicated if the monthly weight "is off" they reweigh the resident again, soon, at least the same day if not immediately. On 7/18/14 at 9:25 a.m., the MR LPN was interviewed regarding Resident #5 and the 14.1 lb increase from the July weight of 86.3 lb to the reweight of 100.4 lb. She indicated this resident was weighed in her wheelchair (WC) and the 100.4 lb weight was probably the weight of the resident and her wc. She indicated the 100.4 lb weight was the correct weight because "it was closest to the June weight." She indicated when the weights were obtained sometimes, there was a subtraction error on the weight records when the CNAs subtract the weight of the wc from the combined weight of the resident and the wc, when the weight was obtained. The MR LPN indicated this resident was on weekly weights. The Medical Records LPN indicated the Registered Dietician (RD) looked at the weights on the "Weight Tracking System" on the computer and if she had a concern, would look at the daily and/or weekly weights which were documented on the TAR (Treatment Administration Record). The Medical Records LPN indicated nursing monitored the daily weights. On 7/18/14 at 10:07 a.m., CNA #10 was interviewed. She indicated she worked the day shift and did weigh residents. She indicated for residents who are usually in their wc, staff weighed the resident in their wc. After the resident was put back to bed, the staff weighed the resident's wc and whatever else they had with them when they were weighed, for example blankets. She indicated they then subtract the empty weight of the wc from the weight of the resident in the wc to obtain the resident's actual weight. She indicated the actual resident weight was the only one they documented on the weight record. 4. Review of the clinical record for Resident #65, on 7/17/14 at 2:31 p.m., indicated the following: [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. An Admission Nursing Assessment for Resident #65, dated 3/13/14, indicated an admission weight of 208 pounds with a usual weight of 210 pounds. The assessment also indicated usual food intakes of 100%. Facility weights for Resident #65 indicated the following: 208.20 pounds on 3/13/14, a re-weigh of 180.80 pounds on 3/18/14, 178.60 pounds on 3/21/14, and 176.40 pounds on 3/24/14. A Nutritional Risk Assessment for Resident #65, dated 3/18/14, indicated she received a No Concentrated Sweets diet. The assessment also indicated a height of 67 inches and a weight of 208 pounds with a BMI (body mass index) of 32. A Dietary Progress Note for Resident #65, dated 3/20/14 and written by the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), indicated she received a No Concentrated Sweets diet which she fed herself. The note further indicated her admission weight was recorded as 208 pounds and her 5 day weight was 180 pounds, resulting in a 13% weight loss in 5 days. The note also indicated the resident was not sure what she weighed when she came to the facility but knows she did not lose that much weight. A Dietary Progress Note for Resident #65, dated 3/21/14 at 1:43 p.m. and written by the Registered Dietitian, indicated nursing weighed the resident and her weight was 179 pounds. The note did not provide a reason for the difference between her admission weight of 208 pounds on 3/14/14 and the weight of 179 ponds on 3/21/14. There were no additional notes from the CDM or the Registered Dietitian available in the clinical record of Resident #65. The Administrator, the Director of Nursing, and Medical Records were interviewed on 7/18/14 at 11:31 a.m. During the interview they indicated a reason should have been documented for the weight loss after the re-weigh of Resident #65. Medical Records was interviewed on 7/18/14 at 11:59 a.m. During the interview she indicated she spoke with the Registered Dietitian. The Registered Dietitian indicated she had not documented the reason for the weight loss. On 7/18/14 at 11:44 a.m. a current copy of the policy and procedure for "Guidelines for Pertinent Charting", dated 5/2010, were received from the DON. This policy included, but was not limited to, the following: "All significant changes in resident status are thoroughly assessed and documented in the resident record based on assessment findings...The nurse is responsible to identify and accurately chart assessment findings in a concise manner...." 3.1-50(a)(1) 3.1-50(a)(2)
