2. Resident 3 was admitted in 11/2021 with diagnoses which included dementia.


During the entrance conference on 09/06/22, staff reported that the resident had a recent significant overall decline in health and weight loss.


Review of facility progress notes, weight records, MARs and current service plan, from 06/09/22 through 09/06/22, revealed the following:


a. Weight records indicated the resident weighed 149.4 lbs. on 06/14/22. On 07/01/22, the resident's weight dropped to 137.4 lbs.


Between 06/14/22 and 07/01/22, s/he lost 12 lbs. or 6.6 % of his/her weight in less than one month which constituted a severe loss and significant change in condition.

 

There was no documented facility RN assessment to address the weight loss.


b. On 09/01/22, Staff 2 (RN) documented in progress notes that she "reached out to patient's daughter explaining that it may be time to consider hospice care. Patient has noted to decline overall ..."  


The decline in health constituted a significant change in condition for which an assessment by the facility RN was required.


There was no documented evidence the facility RN conducted an assessment.


During an interview on 09/07/22 at 2:20 pm, Staff 2 (RN) acknowledged the lack of a documented RN assessment for the significant changes in condition.


The need to ensure documented RN assessments for significant changes in condition was discussed with Staff 1 (Executive Director) on 09/08/22 at 8:30 am. She acknowledged the findings. No further information was provided.

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the RN performed an assessment and interventions were developed based on the condition of the resident for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) who experienced a significant change of condition in weight status and overall health decline. Resident 1 continued to have weight loss. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in 04/2021 with diagnoses including dementia.


Observations of the resident on 09/07/22 revealed s/he was on a pureed diet, nectar thickened liquids and required hands-on assistance to eat.


a. Resident 1's weight records were reviewed during the survey and revealed the following:


* 12/2021 - 89.8 pounds;

* 01/2022 - 78.4 pounds;

* 04/2022 - 74.0 pounds;

* 07/2022 - 60.4 pounds;

* 08/2022 - 55.0 pounds; and

* 09/2022 - 52.6 pounds.


From 12/2021 to 01/2022, Resident 1 lost 11.4 pounds or 12.69 % of his/her body weight in one month, which represented a significant change of condition.


Weights documented after 04/2022 revealed the resident experienced another significant weight loss of 18.37 % in three months from 04/2022 to 07/2022. There were no weight records in 02/2022, 03/2022, 05/2022 and 06/2022 during the record review.


There was no documented evidence the RN completed an assessment of the resident's condition, which included whether the weight loss had been evaluated, actions or interventions determined, or actions and interventions reviewed for effectiveness to address the weight loss.


During an interview on 09/07/22, the surveyor shared with Staff 2 (RN) that there were no weight records for the resident from 04/2022 through 06/2022.


On 09/08/22 at 8:30 am, Staff 2 stated she searched the resident's records and was able to locate additional weight records that had been archived. The weights had not been entered into the resident's clinical record at the time they were obtained, and were transferred into the resident's record during the survey. The updated weight records were provided to the surveyor on 09/08/22.


Failure to ensure an RN assessment was completed for the weight loss was discussed with Staff 2 on 09/07/22 at 5:00 pm. She acknowledged a documented assessment had not been done.


b. The resident had a physician order, dated 01/20/22, to administer 250 ml of high-protein liquid (health shake) three times daily and it was scheduled at 10:00 am, 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm.


During the survey on 09/07/22 the following was observed:


* From 10:00 am - 11:00 am, the resident was in the room, in his/her recliner. During the observation, staff did not provide or offer a health shake to the resident as planned;

 

* From 12:05 pm - 12:40 pm, the resident was in the dining room for lunch. Staff helped the resident to eat his/her lunch. The resident consumed approximately 50 % of lunch; and


* From 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm, the resident was not observed to be offered a health shake. The resident was in bed, resting during the observation.


The facility failed to ensure an RN assessment at the time of the significant weight loss, the resident's continued weight loss and an evaluation of interventions including administration of health shakes and for effectiveness resulted in further weight loss. Between 12/2021 and 09/2022, Resident 1 lost 37.3 pounds or 41.3 % of his/her body weight.


On 09/07/22 and 09/08/22, the above findings was shared with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (RN) and Staff 3 (Resident Care Coordinator). They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

What actions will be taken to correct the rule violation? All residents weights reviewed for any significant changes.

·How will the system be corrected so this violation will not happen again?

Weights will be entered into PCC each month. They will be reviewed for significant changes. Upon identification of the significant changes the RN will do a focused assessment on weight. Proper interventions will be put into place.

·How often will the area needing correction be evaluated and who is assigned to evaluating the changes? The RN will review weights monthly, assess and ensure that proper interventions are in place. For those identified to have a significant weight change, the RN will document on them weekly until the weight stabilizes.
