After finishing all of the liquids of milk, apple juice, water and pureed applesauce, R#129 started to eat spoonfuls of pureed beef mac casserole and chicken rice soup.

Since 2/15/17 R#129 received a pureed diet and doing well. Staff#24 stated that registered dietitian (RD) was included on interdisciplinary (IDT) meetings and provided documentation for the 2/14/17 IDT meeting on R#129, which the RD noted significant wt loss and resident on TF. Queried Staff#24 if RD did nutritional evaluation after R#129 switched to pureed diet and CN provided that 5/2/17 IDT meeting notes documented, see RD notes 5/2/17, but Staff#24 unable to locate RD notes.

Staff#24 looked at R#129's treatment record and there was no supplement included. Staff#24 went to the unit's refrigerator and Boost Plus 120 ml was on the nourishment tray for R#129. According to Staff#24, the IDT develops each resident's CP and the resident's supplement should have been on the treatment record. On 06/01/2017 at 2:10 PM interviewed Staff#24 who was find out why the RD didn't reassess R#129 for supplement recommendation after the GT was discontinued on 2/15/17 but she could not provide an explanation. Queried Staff#24, on why supplement was started on 5/17 but sig wt loss was noted at the 2/17 IDT meeting, and she could not provide an answer. The resident's nursing assessment on 3/20/17, documented a wt of 85.2 lbs; and on 3/29/17, wt 85.4 lbs. On 06/01/2017 at 2:16 PM interviewed the RD and she related that on 2/17/17 the resident's niece and family were convincing R#129 to eat because the resident was refusing to eat and on that date started the supplement on a trial basis to see if the resident would drink the supplement. The IDT progress notes dated 2/17/17 Nutrition Follow-up, documented, Boost Plus 240 ml PO TID between meals. On the 5/2/17 IDT conference notes documentation; decreased Boost Plus 120 ml TID btw meals d/t improved intakes.

On 06/02/2017 at 11:42 AM observed R#129's food tray with Staff#24 and Staff#88 in the dining/activity rm. There was a regular spoon on the resident's tray and not a built-up spoon as was ordered by the occupational therapist. According to Staff#24, the resident used the built-up spoon only when dining in-room because they didn't want to misplace the built-up spoon. Staff#88 further stated that R#129 didn't like to use the built-up spoon and would sometimes throw it. Staff#88 went to get the built-up spoon from R#129's rm and stated that she would try to make the resident use it. Discussed with Staff#24 that the use of the built-up spoon should be re-evaluated as resident observed to be using small disposable plastic cups to drink pureed food. The facility failed to provide nutritional care and services consistent with a comprehensive assessesment as the MD did not write the order for nutritional supplements, the built-up spoon was not re-evaluated for use when staff knew that the resident did not want to use it. 2020-09-01
