F 0803 On 1/14/25 at 7:46 A.M., an observation, interview and record review was conducted with Dietary Supervisor (DS) 1 and DS 2, in the conference room. DS 1 stated that they did not have an in-house Registered Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Dietician (RD) but have a consultant filling in for now. DS 1 stated she knew Resident 84 preferred a renal potential for actual harm diet versus a no added salt (NAS), carbohydrate controlled (CCHO) diet. DS 1 stated she completed Resident 84's dietary evaluation titled Dietary Profile on 10/24/24 and stated that the evaluation indicated Residents Affected - Few Resident 84's dislikes included, orange juice/oranges, tomatoes, fresh potatoes, spinach, peas, beef, and pork. DS 1 stated for a renal diet, Resident 84 should not be served orange juice, fresh oranges, tomatoes, fresh potatoes and spinach.

DS 1 and DS 2 stated that the picture looked like it was the menu that was served on Sunday 1/12/25. DS 1 stated that
the kitchen and nursing staff should have looked at Resident 84's meal tray card to see Resident 84's preference list and not serve Resident 84 what was on the dislikes and prepared a menu that substituted his dislikes that was nutritionally equivalent. DS 1 and DS 2 stated not following Resident 84's preference would make him unhappy.

LN 2 stated that it was the LN's responsibility to check the trays and check their dietary sheets to make sure that the ordered diet was being served before any residents ate the food that was being served for safety. LN 2 stated that the dietary sheets are Medical Doctor (MD) orders and does not show any preferences, but the actual meal tray card does. LN 2 stated for renal/kidney orders oranges are usually not acceptable because it spikes renal [sic], spikes the blood sugar and it's rich in potassium and are not good for the kidneys. LN 2 was shown a picture of Resident 84's breakfast meal tray taken on 1/12/25. LN 2 stated that Resident 84's preferences according to his meal tray card should be honored. LN 2 stated that Resident 84 should not have been served with orange and peas because it was what Resident 84 disliked.

Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prepare food in a form to meet the needs of one of six sampled residents (Resident 27). This failure had the potential to cause unintended weight loss and medical complications.
Findings
Per Resident 27's Admission record, Resident 27 was admitted on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including Cerebral Infarction (blood loss to the brain) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD-irreversible kidney failure).
A record review of Resident 27's minimum data set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 12/12/24 indicated, a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- developed by reviewing the resident's status during the prior seven-day period) score of 12 points out of 15 possible points which indicated Resident 27 had moderate cognitive (pertaining to memory, judgement and reasoning ability) deficits.
During an observation on 1/12/25 at 12:45 P.M. A lunch time meal tray was delivered to Resident 27. The Meal ticket stated chopped meat. The Plate had one quarter inch slice of meat.
During an interview on 1/12/25 at 12:45 P.M. with Resident 27, Resident 27 stated he has limited use of hands and used adaptive devices for utensils. Resident 27 stated he is unable to use a knife and fork in combination to cut meat or vegetables. Resident 27 stated he will be unable to eat the meat in its current form and that is why he has asked for chopped meat.
During an interview on 1/15/25 at 8:35 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant 25 (CNA 25), CNA 25 stated when we get the trays, the nurses check the slips and make sure that they match the trays. I can kind of read slips. CNA 25 further stated when we get our 4 day training, we get training on the different consistencies. Speech therapists sometimes come and talk to us as well, if they are going to upgrade diets. CNA. 25 concluded A resident could choke if they didn't have the correct diet.
During an interview on 1/15/25 at 9:49 A.M. with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated When meals are passed out, we have two licensed nurses at the tray cart. One confirms with the meal orders, and
the other confirms with the meal ticket. We look at the food to make sure it matches with the order and the ticket. if it doesn't match then we send it back to the kitchen. Because of the two checks a wrong meal should not get to the resident. If it does, the resident might choke, or the resident might be allergic to something in the meal.
During an interview on 1/15/24 at 10:55 A. M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated we compare the diet order to the meal tag. We go by the diet order and have the kitchen update the tag. The DON further stated That tag says chopped meat and it is not, that's on me I checked that. If they had dysphasia, it could cause choking. It's not acceptable.

This failure had the potential to increase the spread of infection for all residents, staff and visitors in the facility. The facility census was: 95.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 72's Admission Record indicated Resident 72 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses which included a history of cerebral Infarction (type of stroke, when the part of the brain tissues dies and loss of blood flow to the brain).

LN 5 stated that he did see that Resident 72's oxygen concentrator and supplies placed at his roommates side of the room which should not be there to prevent cross-contamination. LN 5 stated it was an infection control issue because the oxygen tubing was on the floor and not labled and we would not know if he [Resident 72] used it or not. LN 5 further clarified this would cause confusion or might cause staff to mistakenly put the oxygen on Resident 72's roommate instead of Resident 72.

LN 2 stated Resident 84 has CKD stage four and has a care plan with the diagnosis that does not include his food preferences. LN 2 stated that Resident 84's nutritional care plan was not person-centered and should include Resident 84's food preference since looking at the meal tray card was missed and could validate the plan of care of how to take care of Resident 84 to prevent a decline in Resident 84's nutritional health status.
On 1/15/25 at 8:52 A.M., an interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON),
