The resident has capacity to make own medical decisions. Conversely, the electronic health record and the resident's care plan showed the resident to be DNR (Do Not Resusitate). This surveyor asked another member on the survey team to review the discrepancy with me. We agreed there was a discrepancy in the medical record. The surveyor submitted a request to the facility on [DATE] at approximately 2:00 PM to see any Post forms for residents which were not yet uploaded into the medical record.

At this time, this Surveyor asked the DON if she asked Resident #162 daughter about circumstances surrounding Resident #162 falls at home in order to implement resident centered relevant interventions to prevent further falls, the DON stated, I am sure I did. When asked the DON to provide documentation of this, the DON acknowledged that she was unable to provide it. This Surveyor asked the DON if root causes were performed on Resident #162 falls.

The G-tube feedings were held to encourage the resident to eat by mouth, but the facility failed to have a plan in place to ensure caloric intake would be maintained if the resident did not eat by mouth. This was true for one (1) of three (3) residents reviewed who receive nutrition via a G-tube. Resident #55. Facility Census: 57. Findings included: a) Resident #55 Resident #55 was admitted to the facility from the hospital on 05/02/23.

Further record review revealed a physician order dated 07/06/23, to hold the feedings to help stimulate PO (by mouth) appetite. Further record review revealed a Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of July (typed as written) Enteral Feed Order, one time a day Jevity 1.5 CAL (calorie) Administer continuous via Pump 88 ML(milliliters) per hour. Until total nutrient delivered of 968 ml. (milliliters) Start at rate of 50 ml/hr (milliliters per hour) titrating up to 25mls/hr every 4 hours until goal of 88ml/hr is reached. Start Date 06/06/23.

On 07/09/23 the Residents weight was 162.2 lbs., which was a 6.2 pound weight loss in 7 (seven) days. During an interview on 07/12/23 at 11:18 AM, the Director of Nursing (DoN) stated, We notify the physician when residents looses 5% in a month. This surveyor asked, What if they are weight weekly and have a six (6) pound weight loss in a week?. The DoN stated, It depends if they are requesting to lose weight, have Congestive heart failure, or take diuretics. This surveyor asked, What if a resident has a G-tube and loses weight? The DoN stated,Yes definitely the physician needs to be notified of a weight loss like that. The issue of Resident #55's weight loss was discussed with the DoN. The DoN said it was the speech therapist's idea to stop the feedings for three (3) days to attempt to get the resident to eat by mouth. The DON was asked to provide information as to how the facility addressed the situation when the resident only consumed 25% of one oral meal in a three-day time period and provide documentation of notification to the physician and the registered dietician when the Resident ate only 25% of one of the nine meals that should have been served. She was asked what the plan was if the resident did not eat by mouth? On 07/12/23 at 1:05 PM, the DoN provided a weight change progress note written by LPN #19, dated 07/11/23. The note documented the Interdisciplinary care plan (IDCP) team, dietician and provider monitoring weekly weights related to residents transitioning from tube feeding to PO (by mouth) intake. Current weight was 162.2 lbs. and last week weight was 168.4. Resident weight decreased 6.2 lbs. The resident's tube feeding was placed on hold from 07/06/23 to 07/09/23.

The DON was unable to provide any documentation the facility addressed the fact the resident only consumed 25% of one meal on 07/06/23, and nothing was eaten by mouth on 07/07/23 or 07/08/23. The DoN was unable to reach the speech therapist for comment due to a family emergency. The DON was unable to provide documentation the speech therapist (ST) addressed the situation in the ST notes. During an interview on 07/12/23 at 2:06 PM, Registered Dietitian (RD) #81 stated he worked with Speech, and they wanted Resident #55 PO (by mouth) intake to increase. Resident #55 was on Argiment AT powder, but the facility could no longer get it, so the RD switched him to Juven. The RD said, I do a nutritional assessment weekly on him, but I have been out for two weeks due to an illness. It looks like (Name of Resident #55's) weight loss was from the feeding being on hold and not eating anything PO (by mouth.) Because last time I was here and completed a nutritional assessment his weight had plateaued, and I adjusted it to accommodate his caloric and protein intake. The Surveyor asked the RD # 81 Should someone have made you aware of the significant weight loss and no nutritional intake? LPN #19 was present during this interview with the RD and LPN #19 stated, The nursing staff should have notified RD #81. LPN #19 also stated, We offer Resident #55 trays, and he keeps refusing them every time. The Surveyor asked the RD #81, how many calories should Resident #55 should consume daily. The RD #81 stated Resident #81 received his calories and protein from the Jevity from G tube feedings and bolus feedings, he also receives Juven for calories and protein. RD #81 said, The orders to hold the feedings should have been written that if he accepted nothing or little by mouth then the feeding should have been altered and the physician notified. The RD was unable to provide documentation to validate this happened. The order directed to only hold the feedings. This surveyor asked the RD #81 When were you notified of Resident #55 significant weight loss from 07/09/23? The RD #81 stated, I did not know anything until I arrived in the facility today, I have been off for two weeks with Shingles. This surveyor referenced the weight change progress note mentioned above to LPN # 19 and asked, When did you write this note dated 07/11/23?. LPN #19 stated, I did put the note in today (07/12/23) I did not notify the RD, the note is wrong, I should not have written that note until I notified the RD and the medical director, I falsified the medical records. During an interview on 07/12/23 at 3:30 PM, the DON was made aware of LPN #19 not contacting the RD or the medical director when Resident #55's significant weight loss occurred and the fact that LPN #19's said she falsified the medical record. A further review of medical records on 07/12/23 at 4:30 PM revealed nutritional assessment by the Registered Dietician, dated 07/12/23, Section B titled Diet Order, Nutrients provided by enteral feeding: Calories 2163 Protein 92 Intake observation (typed as written) Working with ST (speech therapist). per nursing doc.
