F692E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on review of resident records, review of facility policy, and staff interviews, the facility failed to monitor residents for changes in nutritional status and failed to implement appropriate interventions in response to identified nutritional changes for three of seven residents reviewed (Residents R38, R183 and R375). Findings include: Review of the facility's policy titled Nutrition (Impaired) Unplanned Weight Loss Clinical Protocol dated September 2017, revealed nursing staff are responsible for monitoring and documenting residents' weight and dietary intake over time, and any significant changes in weight, appetite, or food/fluid intake must be reported to the physician. The policy requires that the physician, in collaboration with nursing and the multidisciplinary team, assess the resident's nutritional status, review for possible medical causes of weight loss or gain-including disease, medication effects, or fluid imbalances-and authorize appropriate interventions based on identified causes, overall condition, prognosis, and resident wishes. Interventions, such as dietary modifications or the use of appetite stimulants, should only be implemented after a thorough evaluation and documentation of underlying causes. In this instance, the physician was not notified of the resident's weight loss, and the dietician failed to initiate any interventions or provide documented guidance. As a result, there was no physician-directed assessment or follow-up, representing a clear deviation from the policy, which mandates timely physician notification, collaborative evaluation, and cause-specific interventions to manage impaired nutritional status. Review of Resident R38's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS- A federal mandated assessment tool for all residents) dated October 18, 2025, revealed Resident R38 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was wheelchair dependent and was assessed with the BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) of 00 (sever cognitive impairment). Continued review of Resident R38 revealed that the resident is on a regular soft bite sized diet and self-fed independently. Resident R38's diagnosis' included hypertension (high Blood pressure), Parkinson's disease (neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system effecting motor and non-motor systems) depression (mood disorder that causes persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest). Review of Resident R38's clinical record revealed that this resident was ordered on October 8, 2025 a regular diet, soft bite size, level 6 texture (soft solid foods cut into small pieces) thin level 0(thin regular liquids) with instructions to weigh resident as indicated. Continued review of Resident R38's clinical record indicated resident had a 12.8-pound weight loss in one month and a 19.0-pound weight loss over two months with the following documented weights: - September 19, 2025, weight 143.4 lbs.- October 9, 2025, weight 137.2 lbs.- November 5, 2025, weight 124.4 lbs.- November 25, 2025, weight 122.2 lbs. Review of resident R38's documented dietary assessment dated [DATE], (a documented 6.2 lb. weight loss) revealed that Resident R38 was on regular soft and bite sized diet no reports of difficulties chewing or swallowing on current diet textures, intake is highly variable per documentation likely related to decreased appetite with advanced age. (She/he) is able to sell feed independently per OT (occupational therapy). No new labs to review this quarter. Weight history reviewed, weight remains stable and is risk for fluctuations on diet diuretic medication. Current weight 137 normal per age standards weight maintenance without significant loss gain is desired registered dietician will continue to monitor and reassess as needed. Review of Resident R 38's documented dietary assessment dated [DATE] , revealed no reports of difficulties chewing or swelling on current diet oral intake is variable per documentation with unusual eating patterns (she/he) is self-fed independent per OT(occupational therapy) no new labs to review she remains on vitamin D and calcium supplement for support residents current weight is 124.4 pounds normal per standards (a documented 12.8 lb. weight loss) (she/he) is trigger for a significant weight loss compared to one and two months ago, previously stabled. Some weight loss may be related to advanced age and variable intake, however unlikely greater than 10-pound weight loss occurred in one month. Reweight requested on 11/14/25. Weight fluctuations can also be anticipated related to heart failure diagnosis and resident on diuretic medication. Weight maintenance without significant weight loss is desired. Dieticians will continue to monitor and reassess as needed nursing to obtain re-weight as requested. Continued review of Resident's 38 clinical record revealed that a weight was not obtained until November 25, 2025, 11 days later. Review of the resident's progress notes revealed that the last two medical practitioner notes were completed by the Nurse Practitioner on November 1, 2025, and November 13, 2025. Both notes indicate that the resident was seen; however, there is no documentation that the resident was followed, assessed, or evaluated for significant weight loss. The notes state, I have reviewed records, including EMR (electronic medical records), vital signs, labs, and consults. Interview with Registered Dietitian, Employee E4 on December 2, 2025, at 11:10 a.m. revealed that she acknowledged the resident's significant weight loss but could not explain why the resident had not been reweighed and was unaware of any interventions initiated to address the weight loss. She stated that she would investigate the matter further and consult with Dietitian Employee E17 regarding appropriate follow-up and interventions. Interview with Registered Dietitian Employee E17 on December 2, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. revealed that she assessed the resident on November 13, 2025, acknowledged the resident's significant weight loss, and referred the resident to nursing for a reweight. She noted that the previous weight may not have been accurate and recognized that the resident was taking Furosemide, which could contribute to weight loss. Dietitian Employee E17 confirmed that the physician had not been notified of the weight loss.
