Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to thoroughly assess the nutritional preferences, implement interventions and provide selected menu items to prevent weight loss for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for weight loss in a sample of 5. (Resident I) Findings include: A Resident Census provided by the HFA (Health Facilities Administrator) on 08/14/13 at 11:15 a.m. indicated Resident I was interviewable. During an observation on 08/15/13 at 8:05 a.m. Resident I was observed to be sitting in her room in a wheelchair with a food tray on a table in front of her. During an interview at that time, Resident I indicated she was not going to eat anymore of the food on the tray and stated, "No wonder I lost 10 pounds, I told them I don't like eggs, but they keep sending them...I don't order cream of wheat or milk, they just send it to me." The breakfast tray was observed at that time, to include, but was not limited to, scrambled eggs, cream of wheat cereal, and milk. The clinical record of Resident I was reviewed on 08/15/13 at 9:30 a.m. The clinical record indicated Resident I was admitted on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The most recent Admission MDS (Minimum Data Set Assessment) dated 07/24/13 indicated Resident I experienced moderate cognitive impairment, was able to express wants, and experienced no concerns with nutrition. A Psychosocial Assessment/Progress note dated 07/31/13 indicated, "Is able to make accurate statements regarding...condition and circumstances..." The Admission Physician order [REDACTED]. The Admission Nursing assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident I weighed 117 pounds. The weight was identified as within her ideal body weight status. The Weight Summary Record dated 07/30/13 indicated Resident I weighed 108 pounds. (9.23% weight loss in 13 days.) A Care Plan for Nutrition dated 07/24/13 indicated, "...Potential for weight loss r/t (related to) inadequate oral food/beverage intake..." with interventions which included, but were not limited to, "...diet as ordered... obtain and update food/beverage preferences...whole milk with meals..." A Nursing note dated 07/30/13 at 8:37 a.m. indicated, "Pt. (Patient) current wt (weight) is 108 which is down 9 (nine) pounds in one week. Average meal consumption is 29% ...currently receiving...whole milk with meals..." A Care Conference note dated 08/01/13 indicated, "...Dietary: Appetite poor 28%, cont (continue) to have weight loss..." An undated Food Preference Form provided by the DM (Dietary Manager) indicated, "...offer select menus...". The form lacked any documentation related to Resident I's dislike of eggs, cream of wheat, or milk. A Dietary progress note dated 08/02/13 at 16:07 (4:07 p.m.) indicated, "...Select menus were provided to the family to fill out..." A Dietary progress note dated 08/07/13 at 10:23 a.m. indicated, "Weight variance meeting...receives...whole milk with meals..." On 08/15/13 at 10:44 a.m., the DM provided a copy of the completed selective breakfast menu for 08/15/13 for Resident I. The menu indicated eggs, cream of wheat, and milk had not been selected. During an interview on 08/15/13 at 10:10 a.m., a family member indicated they had assisted Resident I with the Selective menu choice for the breakfast meal on 08/25/13 and had not selected eggs, cream of wheat, or milk because Resident I had never liked any of them and would not eat the items. The family member further indicated, at that time, Resident I frequently did not receive the meals as they had been selected. The policy and procedure for Selective Menu provided by the HFA on 08/15/13 at 3:50 p.m. indicated "...2. Patients receive the next week's menus on Monday...Completed menus are picked up by and assigned Dining Services employee on Wed (Wednesday)-Thur (Thursday)-Fri (Friday) Dining Services and nursing..." During an interview on 08/15/13 at 10:45 a.m., the HFA indicated Resident I should have received the selected menu options for breakfast on 08/15/13, but did not, because the chosen selective menu options had not been entered into the system.
