**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review the facility failed to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status in such as usual body weight range and electrolyte balance, unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrated that this was not possible or resident preferences indicate otherwise for 1 of 5 (CR#1) residents reviewed for weight loss. -The facility failed to ensure CR#1 was monitored for weight loss resulting in a 19.7% or 17.2 lbs. in 3-month period. CR#1 was admitted to hospital with hypernatremia and generalized weakness and a 43-pound weight loss since her last hospitalization. -The facility failed to ensure CR#1 maintained acceptable parameters of nutritional status such as her usual body weight. CR#1 was admitted to hospital with hypernatremia and generalized weakness and a 43-pound weight loss since her last hospitalization -The facility failed to implement dietary recommendations. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 11/8/2024 at 3:18 p.m. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 3:18pm, While the IJ was removed on 11/13/2024 at 3:29 p.m., the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern with the potential for more than minimal harm the facility continued to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their corrective systems. Finding included: Record review of CR #1's face sheet revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female that was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of Alzheimer Disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory), cognitive communication deficit (a difficult with communication that is caused by a disruption in cognition), prediabetes, and chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of the kidneys leading to renal failure). Record review of CR#1's MDS dated [DATE] revealed: Section C500 -Brief interview of mental status was unscored. Section GG - Functional Abilities and Goals reflected: A. Eating, oral hygiene, toileting, showers, upper and lower body dressing all were coded as 01 (dependent-helper does all the effort). Section K- Swallowing/Nutritional Status revealed Swallowing Disorder was marked as Z. None of the above (loss of liquids, holding food in mouth, coughing, or choking or complaints of difficulty or pain with swallowing). Section I- Nutritional status 152600- Malnutrition had no entry or X for malnutrition risk. Record review revealed no significant change MDS was provided when CR#1's weight went from 87.2 lbs on 7/29/2024 to 71.6 lbs. on 8/28/2024. Record review of CR#1's discharge MDS dated [DATE] indicated Section GG- Functional abilities had a code change of (2)- which indicated the CR#1 required substantial or maximum assistance to eat (helper does more than half the effort). Section K- Swallowing/Nutrition indicated: Weight Loss a code of (2)- Yes, not on physician prescribed weight loss regiment. Section I- Nutritional status 152600- Malnutrition had no entry or X for malnutrition risk. Record review of CR#1's care plan dated 7/31/2024 and revised on 8/2/2024 reflected: CR#1 had a nutritional problem or potential nutritional problem r/t mechanically altered diet, Alzheimer disease, and prediabetes. Goal: CR#1 will maintain adequate nutritional and hydration status weight stable, no signs and symptoms of malnutrition or dehydration through review date of 11/9/2024. Interventions: Administer medications as ordered, monitor and document for side effects of effectiveness. Monitor/document/report PRN any signs and symptoms of dehydration. Monitor/record/report to MD PRN signs and symptoms of malnutrition: Emaciation, muscle wasting, significant weight loss: 3lbs in 1 week, >5% in 1 month, >7.5% in 3 months and >10% in 6 months. Record review of weight summary report revealed: 7/29/2024- CR #1 was 87.2 lbs. 8/28/2024- 71.6 lbs. 9/11/2024 - 75.6 lbs. 9/18/2024- 73.8 lbs. 10/7/2024- 70.0 lbs. Record review of dietician progress notes revealed on 8/1/2024: CR#1 estimated energy need was 1750 kcal, 65 grams of protein, fluids 1500 ml. CR#1 is 88% of DBW (desirable body weight) with poor intake. During RD rounds, a physical assessment was conducted. CR#1 was very thin stature, muscle wasting, as well as orbital subcutaneous fat wasting and appears to have a nutritional deficit. Resident is supplemented with Zinc and Vitamin C but may benefit from additional nutrients to support wound healing and weight repletion. CR#1 has a potential for desirable weight gain, weight fluctuation, and dehydration. Recommendation: 1. 2k cal house supplement, 90 ml TID after meals to promote weight repletion and maintenance, 2. Liquid protein 30ml BID for 90 days to support muscle mass and wound healing; (3) Juven/Arginaid plus 8 oz H20 BID for 30 days. Goal: Weight maintenance or steady weight gain of +4% by next review date. Will monitor clinical status, weights, labs intakes and skin.

October 1-17, 2024- there were no new medications from [DATE] medication list. Record review of nursing progress notes revealed there were no progress notes indicating CR#1's weights were trending downward between 7/29/2024-10/7/2024. Record review of hospital admission paperwork revealed CR#1 was admitted to a local hospital on [DATE]. The principle or chief problem for admission was hypernatremia and generalized weakness. CR#1's weight upon admission was 55 lbs. and she was severely dehydrated. The recorded weights for CR#1's last three encounters at this local hospital were: 10/18/2024- 24.9 kg (55lbs) 7/26/2024 - 44.6 kg (98 lbs 6.4 oz) 2/16/2024 - 44 kg (97 lbs.) An interview with RN A on 11/1/2024 at 10:56a.m., revealed her to state she had been employed at the facility for 7 months. She said all of the nurses work different halls every shift. For example, one day she might be the nurse on Halls 100 and 200 and the next day 200 and 300 and so on. She said she did not work on the hall where CR#1 resided very often. She said she recalled CR#1 had a regular diet with puree texture and thickened liquids. She said her legs were contracted to her abdominal area (fetal position contracture). She said this made it dfifficult to tell she had loss weight. She denied being alerted by staff of CR#1's refusals to eat, loss of weight or other concerns. She said CR#1 liked sweets so if they added pudding to her food she would normally eat. She said she might not have eaten what was cooked for her, but she did eat. She looked in PCC and stated she did not see any nursing notes concerning her intake for the month of October, 2024. She said she would have documented any refusals and had the CNA's get her a substitution if she refused her meal. She stated if a resident does not eat, they will not get their daily nutritional and hydration needs met. She said she was not sure why CR#1 was losing weight. An interview with RN C at 11:17 a.m., revealed she had been employed for 3 months. She was responsible for halls 300 and 400 today. She said the other nurse is responsible for Halls 100 and 200 and the nurses usually worked 6am-6pm. She said there were 3 CNa's on the halls. She said she worked 10am-6pm shift. She said she was not too familiar with CR#1 and do not recall being told that CR#1 was not eating or refusing meals. She stated she would have alerted the interim DON, Administrator, Physician and family about the issue. An interview with CNA A on 11/1/2024 at 12:32 p.m. revealed CR#1 needed assistance with feedings. He said she had a pureed diet and preferred to eat in her room. CNA A stated CR#1 often did not want to eat as she would not open her mouth when staff put the spoon to her mouth. Further, that he would alert the on-duty nurse anytime she did not eat. He said he cannot recall how often she refused to eat. He said he documented refusals but always offered her a substitute. He said she liked applesauce and pudding. He stated CNA B was the lead CNA and she could usually get her to eat her meals. She was familiar with her from another facility. He said she did not refuse other ADL's such as brief changes and bed baths. During an interview with CR#1's FM on 11/1/2024 at 3:20 p.m. the FM said the facility was responsible for feeding CR#1 but every 2- or 3-days the FM came to visit, and she always asked about food that was still sitting on her table. She said the uneaten food sat well past the mealtimes such as 1 hour after breakfast and sometimes a couple of hours after lunch. She said when she spoke with the CNAs and nurses, she was told that she had substitutions, but did eat. The FM said she would try to get to the facility for her mealtimes just to observe, but the last few weeks she was unable to get there due to some personal issues. The FM said she took care of CR#1 for 10 years and she knew that she would eat if she had help with feedings that the facility said they would provide. The FM said staff were supposed to feed her as she was dependent. CR#1 could not feed herself. The FM said she spoke to the Social Services Director on several occasions to address the issue. She said she had only spoken to the DON once about CR#1 food intake and staff not feeding her but the DON never followed-up with her about it. Instead, the SSD became her point of contact as she learned that the DON was no longer employed at the facility since September 2024. The FM asked SSD about a feeding tube during a telephone care plan meeting. She said she told the SSD that she would also start researching peg tube feedings because she did not know the difference between a peg tube or g-tube and how it would affect a resident her age. The FM said she wanted CR#1 to eat or be fed by any means possible. The FM said during a visit on 10/17/2024, CR#1 was lethargic and appeared to be severely malnourished. The FM said she could tell by looking at CR#1 that she had loss more weight since she saw a few weeks ago. The FM said once again her lunch was still sitting on her table uneaten. She said she observed CNA A and nurses near their breakroom, and it infuriated her that staff were standing around while CR#1 had not been fed. She called 911 and had CR#1 sent to the ER at a local hospital. The FM said upon arrival at the ER she was told CR#1 was severely dehydrated. The FM said a nurse at the hospital stated due to the muscle wasting, and lethargic state it appeared that CR#1 had not eaten or had been given enough water in weeks. An interview with Tray Aide on 11/6/2024 at 9:40am, she stated he had been employed since [DATE]. She said the CNAs hand out trays, pick up trays, and pushcart back to the kitchen. She said CNAs were supposed to input how much the residents were eating. She can recall trays coming back with uneaten food for CR#1. She said some of the food would be eaten but the meat was mostly what she would not eat. She said the pureed bananas and applesauce were always eaten. She said anytime she saw her tray with uneaten food she would inform the Dietary manager. She said she was not responsible for documenting food intake. An interview with the SSD on 11/6/2024 at 10:03am, revealed her to state she had been employed at the facility for 2 years. She said she had been in contact with the family of CR#1. She said she had personally reported to the DON several times that they were concerned about the resident not eating. She said CR#1's FM had been concerned and she witnessed a call between FM and the former DON about placing a peg tube so the resident would get food. She said the former DON questioned the FM about placing her on hospice instead of a peg tube. She said as far she knew the FM was looking into her options of hospice companies around September 2024 sometime. She said the care plan meeting notes she found in PCC was held on 8/8/24 and the FM was not able to attend. She stated care plan meetings are quarterly unless there is a change in condition. She said she does not know why they would not have had another care plan meeting when CR#1 began to lose weight. An interview with the Dietician on 11/6/2024 at 11:45am she said she did rounds at the facility every Thursday. She said after she put in her recommendations for the MD she had to wait on an approval. She said she was not permitted to write any orders. All orders must come from the MD. She said she input recommendations for CR#1 in August 2024. She said she also sent the MD a letter which notified him that she had recommendations that he needed to approve. She said physicians do not always agree with dietician's recommendations and will sometimes make other recommendations. After checking PCC, she said she did not see a response from the doctor. She said she did not follow-up on her recommendations because she normally will not see a resident again for another 60-92 days unless someone at the facility alerts her that the issue has not resolved. During a telephone interview with the Dietary Manager on 11/6/2024 at 1:32pm, she said she had been employed at the facility for 4 to 5 years. She said CR#1 had a pureed diet, thickened liquids, and had to be fed. CR#1 ate in her room. She stated that the Dietician told her one time that CR#1 was not eating her food. She said it was the responsibility of the Dietician to put recommendations in place for residents when they were not eating. She said it was placed on the dietary notes. She said if a tray came back, and food was not eaten, the tray aide would notify the nurse. She did not recall being told any other time about CR#1 not eating. She said they gave her yogurt and pudding because she would eat sweets. The State Investigator asked if she was responsible for documenting residents food intake. She said, No. She said she was not feeling well, and the call ended. An interview with the Administrator on 11/6/2024 at 1:42pm, revealed he called the Dietary Manager about documentation she had concerning CR#1 meals/intake. He said the Dietary Manager was out sick, but she had documentation she kept on a Word document that she would send him today. He admitted that he did not see any nursing progress notes or plan of care notes (POC ) by the CNAs that documented refusals or her food intake. He stated that he conducted a performance improvement plan (PIP ) when he was emailed by CR#1's FM on 10/18/2024. He said after the incident the DON, dietary, housekeeping, and even therapy would be keeping an eye out to ensure every resident gets a tray and let the nurse know when they refuse. He said the CNAs or nurse might miss sometimes but others will be able to see and notify nurses on the floor when residents were not eating . He said this failure could cause residents obvious weight loss, nutritional needs not being met and not enough hydration. A telephone interview with 11/6/2024 the facility MD at 3:41pm revealed that CR#1 was losing weight and the family declined a peg tube as far as he could recall. The State Investigator asked if he had been told that the FM had found uneaten trays of food on many occasions as she was not being fed. He said he was not aware of staff being unable to feed her nor of any refusals to eat. He denied receiving any recommendations from the dietician. He stated his NP would have more information as he was at the facility weekly, and he would have to follow-up with him on this patient. He stated the protocol was to ensure there was a dietician consultant when there was weight loss for recommendations, medications, and overall patient care being addressed. He stated he could not recall any IDT meeting concerning CR#1 weight. He did not mention failure to thrive as a diagnosis that was causing CR#1's weight loss. In a subsequent interview with the MD on 11/6/2024 at 3:50pm, he stated that he had orders for supplements and the dietician recommendations were in the system. However, they were showing that CR#1 was on hospice. He said she was enrolled, and Hospice was involved in her care. He said he would have his NP reach out to me. In an interview with local Hospice representative on 11/8/2024 at 12:25pm, Rep stated CR#1 was on services from 9/13/2024-9/16/2024. In a subsequent interview with the Administrator on 11/8/2024 at 12:50pm, he stated it was the dietician's responsibility to review residents' weights weekly. He said each week she checked in on residents and when there was weight loss it should be documented in PCC. The recommendation from the dietician for CR#1 on 8/1/2024 should have been communicated to the physician or NP, they should have either approved, denied it, or made other recommendations. The orders were carried out by nursing. He said, the Dietician should have checked to see if it was approved or denied, and she could have also checked to see if the MD had ordered anything. He said when she came back the following week, she might have had to make other recommendations. He said it looked like CR#1's recommendations got missed somehow. He said the FM denied a peg tube before and after admission. He stated he can recall two occasions or meetings that was discussed with her FM that she was eating but not enough food and having weight loss. He said he was unable to find documentation for the recommendation for a peg tube. He stated that the MD had faxed him a letter which stated that CR#1 had experienced weight loss due to her dementia and failure to thrive. The State Investigator stated the MD did not mention that CR#1 had an additional diagnosis of failure to thrive, she was not admitted with this diagnosis, it was not listed on her face sheet, hospital admission paperwork, care plan, nor anywhere else. He stated, Well that is what the MD stated on the letter. He added that it was the facility's policy concerning residents that were not eating to talk to the family, offer other food alternatives, and come up with other substitutions that they were willing to eat. He said communication with the family and the physician was important. He said sometimes the MD might order different stimulants to increase their appetite or provide other medications. He stated the kitchen staff were willing to make other food for the residents. He said if staff saw CR#1 had not eaten they would have said something to the nursing staff. CR#1 was declining and a very sick resident. He said it was the family's decision not to have a peg tube placed, because she would not be able to have food by mouth . In an interview with CNA B on 11/8/2024 at 1:28 p.m., she stated she had been employed here since 2017. She was the CNA lead and central supply. She said she knew CR#1 from a previous facility. She said she was very surprised when she saw her here in July. She said she was admitted here with contractures and not walking. She said she wanted to sleep a lot. She said the FM asked her to take a picture when she ate her food and send her a picture when she worked. She said the resident ate a lot of mashed bananas, yogurt, and applesauce. She said she mentioned her weight loss to the Dietary Manager, and she said the dietician had put her on supplements. The FM bought Boost when she was admitted , but she did not recall if CR#1 drank them but she did not see any more after she was admitted . She said CR#1 ate but sometimes only 50% or less. She said she mentioned to the DON that she was losing weight. She took her weight a few times and notated the decline. She stated before she left her shift, she would always double back to see if CR#1 ate and if not try to feed her. She said she would leave the extra bottled water, thickened juice, and applesauce. In an interview with NP on 11/11/2024 at 3:26 p.m. he took out his tablet and stated CR#1 was admitted on [DATE] and on 8/1/2024. He was notified that she had poor NPO intake, so the dietician recommended house supplements, and liquid protein Juven to promote wound healing. He stated he did not see anywhere in PCC that he had placed an order or approved her recommendations. He said he was unsure of what happened. He said if there was an order, he could no longer see it in PCC. He stated he came to the facility every Monday. He also asked the nurses if anything was going on with residents that he needed to know about. No one ever told him about her severe weight loss. He stated he noticed the weight change for CR#1 upon a visit and he recommended Hospice care on 8/21/2024. The State Investigator informed him that CR#1 was taken off Hospice only a few days after being enrolled on 9/13/2024. He said he did not know she was taken off hospice. The hospice order was still active in the system, so he assumed she was still on hospice. He said when patients are on hospice services, they normally take provide life care and comfort measures. He said weight loss was usually followed up with a peg tube or hospice care. He said there was no documentation here at this facility about hospice care. He said he could see the weights in PCC, but not her food intake. He said sometimes in cases like this with severe weight loss, supplements, or a medication called Remeron or stimulant Megace, was effective but sometimes patients run into insurance not paying for it plus they cannot be on it for long periods of time due to the side effects. He stated CR#1 was put on hospice and that was why he would not see her. He said there were no nursing notes hardly and nothing mentioned about hospice being stopped. If he had been notified, he would have called the family himself and gave them the option of the medication for her appetite or a peg tube. Record review of weight monitoring policy revised on August 2024 revealed based on a resident's comprehensive assessment, the facility will ensure that all residents maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range and electrolyte balance. Guidelines: Weight can be a useful indictor of nutritional status. Significant unintended changes in weight (loss or gain) or insidious weight loss (gradual unintended loss over a period of time) may indicate a nutritional problem. 1. The facility will utilize systemic approaches to optimize a resident's nutritional status. This process includes a. Identifying and assessing each resident's nutritional status; b. evaluating and analyzing the assessment information; c. Developing and consistently implementing pertinent approaches; d. Monitoring the effectiveness of interventions and revising them as necessary. 4. Interventions will be identified, implemented, monitored, consistent with the resident's assessed needs, choices, preferences, goals, and current professional standards to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status. 5. A weight monitoring schedule will be developed upon admission for all residents: c. Residents with weight loss- monitor weight weekly. 7. Documentation: A. The physician should be informed of a significant change in weight and may order nutritional interventions; B. The physician should be encouraged to document the diagnosis or clinical condition that may be contributing to the weight loss; C. Meal consumption information should be recorded and may referenced by the Interdisciplinary team. E. The dietician and dietary manager should be consulted to assist with interventions; actions are recorded in the nutritional progress note. This was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 11/8/2024 at 3:18pm. The administrator was notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template at that time via email. The following Plan of Removal was submitted by the facility on 11/8/2024 and approved on 11/9/2024 at 5:55pm: Failure: F-692 Nutrition/Hydration status maintenance The facility failed to ensure CR#1 was monitored for weight loss resulting in a 19.7% or 17.2 lbs. in less than 3-month period. The facility failed to ensure CR#1 maintained acceptable parameters of nutritional status such as her usual body weight of 90 lbs. The facility failed to ensure CR#1 was offered sufficient fluids to maintain proper hydration. She was admitted to a local hospital severely dehydrated on 10/17/2024. 1. Identification of Residents Affected or Likely to be Affected: Include actions that were performed to address the citation for recipients who have suffered, or are likely to suffer, a serious adverse outcome as a result of the facility's noncompliance and the date the corrective actions were completed. (Completion Date: 9 [DATE]) Patient CR#1 is no longer at the facility D/C 17 [DATE] All patients in the building were evaluated for weight loss. Completed by the interim DON. 6 patients are on our weight loss watchlist. Dehydration Risk Assessments have been completed. 2. Actions to Prevent Occurrence/Recurrence: Include actions the facility will take to alter the process or system failure to prevent a serious adverse outcome from occurring or recurring, by whom and when those actions were completed. (Completion Date: 9 [DATE]) 3. All facility staffing policies and procedures were reviewed/revised. LNFA and the interim DON reviewed for accuracy. No changes were made. The Administrator reviewed and revised the Facility Assessment. The Facility Assessment assist Nursing facilities to conduct, document, and review a facility-wide assessment, which includes both their resident population and the resources the facility needs to care for their residents. Patient Demographics were updated. AD HOC QAPI meeting was held. Findings from AD HOC QAPI will be reported at the monthly QAA meeting for a minimum of 3 months. Staff was in-serviced on HHSC Feeding Assistant Training Manual. Staff included CNA's, MA's, Dietary, and Therapy department. Staff were trained 8-9 [DATE]. Further staff will receive training before they are allowed to work. Dietary Manager provided the training. Some of the subjects covered in the training are to observe and report any issues with the patient eating. Always report to the nurse any issues. Assist the patient as needed. If meal is refused offer an alternate meal or food from our always available menu. Meal set up always ensure water and drinks are available. Any issues with eating report it to the nurse. Any patient that is identified with an issue related to feeding or hydration will be reported to the charge nurse. The charge nurse will report to provider. It is reported using a dietary concerns form that is available at the nursing station. The form is filled out with the issue and given to the nurse. The nurse reports the issue to the provider. Additionally, in the MAR there is an order that the nurse chart for each meal the amount of the meal that was consumed. This is audited QD by the interim DON/designee. If no action has been taken the interim DON/designee will contact the provider and the RD. Patients that are on the watchlist have monitoring in the MAR for the nurse to chart the amount of their meal consumed. MAR is reviewed/monitored QD by interim Don/Designee. MD informed of the monitoring. interim Don/Designee will update care plans and the MARS. All patients on the Watchlist can be identified by the tray ticket it will be noted Watchlist. When the weekly weights are taken any patient that flags will be reviewed by interim Don/Designee and RD and added to the watchlist. interim Don/Designee will add to MARS. If the patient flags for weight loss, they are placed on weekly weights. The interim Don/Designee will provide the list to the Director of Rehab and the weights will be taken by the therapy department. The scale is calibrated Q 3 months or if a discrepancy is detected . Dietician's recommendations will be sent to the interim Don/Designee and the LNFA/Designee. This will ensure that interim Don/Designee and the LNFA/Designee know when they were received and forwarded to the Provider. Dietician's recommendations will be sent to the providers to be approved or denied. interim Don/Designee will implement the orders and notify the Dietician if they have been approved or denied. This process to be completed in no more than 72 hours. Dietician was notified of the watchlist 8 [DATE]. Dietician has reviewed them, and recommendations/progress notes received. interim Don/Designee and dietary manager will be trained by the LNFA. Monitoring of the Plan of Removal Included: Record review of a list of residents on the watchlist for weight loss and risk of dehydration included (6 Residents): Residents #2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) were listed. Record review of their records in PCC revealed that risk assessments for weight loss had been conducted and weekly weights were ordered. In addition, dehydration risk assessments were completed for all 6 residents and fluid intake was ordered to be entered into PCC. Monitoring input of food and hydration was on their MARS. Record review of the facility's assessment tool dated 5/9/2024 revealed resident characteristics of weight management was added. Record review of the facility's food intake form had questions about whether there were concerns about resident nutrition intake, hydration intake, and staff were to enter the answer yes or no, indicate the name and room number of the resident, staff name, and explain the concern. Record review of scale calibration from the local company revealed that the scale calibrations were done monthly, and the scale showed a .02 lbs. error rate on 11/13/2024. Record review of Ad Hoc QAPI meeting sign-in sheet dated 11/9/2024 revealed the MD, the Administrator, and the SSD met concerning the Immediate Jeopardy. Record review of sign-in sheets for the following training: HHSC feeding assistant training manual was conducted by the Dietary manger on 11/8-11/9/2024. Interviews with the Director of Therapy, and OT therapist revealed on 11/12/2024 they have been trained on notifying a nurse if a resident was not eating or if they notice a tray with uneaten food, they were assisting with feeding residents, and were responsible for weighing the resident weekly. Interviews with RN A and C, CNAs A, B, D, housekeeping A, CMA's A and B between 11/10/2024-11/11/2024 from the morning shift nurses (6a-6p), and CNAs and MA's (6a-2pm) shifts all were able to describe their recent training on feeding assistance, documentation of food and hydration intake, notifying the nurse, physician, family and dietician, and completing the form[TRUNCATED]
