Findings include: During an interview on 4/17/19 at 8:40 a.m., staff member T stated the CNA's should know when a resident is on a pureed diet, and provide pureed snack options. During an observation on 4/16/19 at 2:35 p.m., resident #17 was eating whole cookies, while sitting in her recliner. During an observation on 4/18/19 at 10:36 a.m., resident #17 had a package of cookies in her hand. Review of resident #17's diet prescription, dated 4/1/19, showed she was on a pureed diet. During an interview on 4/18/19 at 10:16 a.m., staff member I stated she knew the resident was on a pureed diet, and resident #17 should not have been provided cookies, because she could choke on them.	2020-09-01
