The medications were highly visible and easily accessible to cognitively impaired residents.”

Various medications were visible on the night and over bed tables and were easily accessible to other residents.” The survey team interviewed the Unit Registered Nurse (RN) Manager, who stated that “she had never seen the [listed] medications in the resident’s room.” The RN stated that “the resident was never assessed to self-administer medications, and there was no Care Plan to address such.”
The nursing home “did not ensure that the designated representative for [one resident] reviewed for nutrition was promptly informed of the resident’s decline in food and fluid intake and unplanned weight loss.” A review of the resident’s Intake Record revealed that the resident “showed a decline in food and fluid intake. In twenty-nine out of thirty-seven meals, zero amount was recorded for food intake.”
The “resident consumed 50% on one meal, 25% on five meals, and 75% on two meals.” It was determined that out of thirty-seven meals during this time period; zero amount was recorded. On the remaining thirteen days, the resident took an average of 323 mL of fluid per day.”
