F 0692 During an interview at this time, Resident #35's visitor said Certified Nurses Aide (CNA) #5 provided Resident #35 with the Boost Original supplement drink that morning at breakfast. Resident #35's visitor said Level of Harm - Minimal harm or the Resident liked the supplement drinks and that one was provided to the Resident every day with potential for actual harm breakfast. Resident #35's visitor then said the Resident ended up drinking two of the supplement drinks the previous day (4/2/25) with breakfast. Residents Affected - Few At this time, Nurse #7 entered the Resident's room holding a box of drink supplement and said she had a supplement drink for the Resident. Nurse #7 looked at the Resident's table and said, Oh, you already have one . then left the room with the additional box of drink supplement.
Review of Resident #35's Meal Intake Record indicated the Resident consumed 100% of his/her breakfast meal on 4/2/25 and 4/3/25.
Review of the Resident's clinical record failed to indicate any information relative to the nutritional drink supplements consumed by the Resident on 4/2/25 and 4/3/25.
During an interview on 4/3/25 at 9:52 A.M., the Dietician said Resident #35 appeared to have had an approximate 30 lb weight loss over the previous month and that there may have been a problem with the accuracy of the scale. The Dietician said Resident #35 was supposed to receive one eight-ounce box of Boost Glucose Control drink supplement with lunch daily for 21 days and that staff were to monitor and
record the amounts of meals and supplement drinks the Resident consumed. The Dietician said the Boost Glucose Control drink supplement was newly ordered due to the Resident's weight loss and diabetic condition. The Dietician said that Resident #35 had DM and that the Resident had always been concerned with his/her diabetic condition. The Dietician said she recommended the glucose control drink supplement for lunch time meals because lunch was when the Resident's intake appeared to be the lowest. The Dietician said for Residents with DM, it was important to consider the total carbohydrates in food and drinks when considering dietary needs. The Dietician then said the total carbohydrates in the Boost Original supplement drink that had been provided to resident #35 on 4/2/25 and 4/3/25 with breakfast contained 37 g of total carbohydrates. The Dietician said if the Resident was eating his/her meals and consuming regular drink supplements, this could impact the Resident's blood sugar and A1C levels. The Dietician also said nutritional supplements being provided to residents without an order and without her knowledge could impact her ability to accurately assess the residents' nutritional status and recommendations for nutritional interventions. The Dietician then said that she would review the Boost Glucose Control supplement drink contents for total carbohydrates and whether the Resident had any routine blood sugar monitoring in place and get back to the surveyor.
During a follow-up interview on 4/3/25 at 10:08 A.M., the Dietician said the glucose control drink supplement contained 16 g of total carbohydrates compared to the Boost Original drink supplement that contained 37 g of total carbohydrates.
During an interview on 4/3/25 at 10:55 A.M., CNA #5 said she gave Resident #35 a nutritional drink supplement every morning because she knew the Resident liked the drinks. CNA #5 said she would typically check with the Nurse before giving a resident a nutritional supplement drink and that she had not checked with the Nurse to see if giving the nutritional drink supplement to Resident #35 was okay. CNA #5 said she gave the Resident the nutritional drink supplement every day at breakfast because the Resident's visitor requested this and knew what the Resident liked.

F 0692 At this time, CNA #5 showed the surveyor the supply closet where the nutritional drink supplements were stored on the Unit. CNA #5 unlocked the supply closet door and the surveyor observed four different types of Level of Harm - Minimal harm or Boost nutritional drink supplements, including Boost Original and Boost Glucose Control. When the surveyor potential for actual harm asked CNA #5 how she knew which supplement was to be provided for the residents, CNA #5 said she just always provided the Boost Original nutritional drink supplements. CNA #5 said she never provided Boost Residents Affected - Few Glucose Control nutritional drink supplements to any resident.
During an interview on 4/3/25 at 11:05 A.M., Nurse #7 said she overheard the surveyor speaking with Resident #35 about the nutritional supplement that morning at breakfast and she thought the Resident was supposed to receive one and did not get it. Nurse #5 said that was why she entered the room with a nutritional drink supplement for the Resident and that she assumed since the surveyor was speaking with the Resident about the supplement that the Resident was supposed to have one.
During an interview on 4/3/25 at 11:40 A.M., Unit Manager (UM) #1 said she was not aware staff on the Unit had been providing nutritional supplement drinks to Resident #35 that were not ordered by the Physician. UM #1 said nutritional supplement drinks were to be provided to residents by a Nurse, according to the Physician's order.
During an interview on 4/3/25 at 12:04 P.M., the Regional Nurse said that she realizes staff care and want to help the residents and that they may not realize providing additional nutrition supplements that are not ordered could impact a resident's medical care. The Regional Nurse said education needed to be provided to staff about the risk involved when nutritional inventions were not followed as ordered by the Physician.

During an interview on 4/1/25 at 11:38 A.M., Nurse #10 said that she was the Nurse assigned to Resident #36. Nurse #10 said that Resident #36 was prescribed a 1200 ml fluid restriction daily. Nurse #10 said that
the Registered Dietitian (RD) and the Unit Manager (UM) determined how much fluid is allotted for nursing and the dietary department for a 24-hour period. Nurse #10 said that the completion and totaling of the 24-hour fluid intake for Resident #36 should be done by the 11:00 P.M.-7:00 A.M. (night shift) Nurse and was important because HD residents could have cardio-pulmonary distress if too much fluid was taken in during a 24-hour period.
The surveyor and Nurse #10 reviewed Resident #36's Medication Administration Records (MARs) which indicated:
-January 2025 MAR: total allotted daily intake was 1800 ml (not 1200 ml as ordered by the Physician) for 31 out of 31 days, and the total daily intake was not totaled for 12 out of 31 days.
-February 2025 MAR: total allotted daily intake was 1800 ml (greater than the 1200 ml ordered by the Physician) for 28 out of 28 days, and the total daily intake was not totaled for 20 out of 28 days.
-March 2025 MAR: total allotted daily intake was 1800 ml for 31 out of 31 days, and the total daily intake was not totaled for 20 out of 31 days.
During an interview on 4/1/25 at 12:12 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said the RD determined the fluids allotted by shift/per day for dining services and nursing. The DON said that once the RD determines the total fluid allotment, the order should be entered into the resident's electronic medical record (EMR) by the RD or unit Nurses. The DON said that accuracy of monitoring and recording of fluid restrictions was important so that residents are provided with what is ordered by the Physician. The DON said that the unit Nurses were responsible for documenting and totaling fluid intake records.
During an interview on 4/1/25 at 12:55 P.M., the RD said that fluid restrictions are determined by the ordering Physician. The RD said that Nurses enter the orders for fluid restriction into the EMR as ordered by the Physician. The RD said that the 1200 ml fluid restriction allotment was a pre-set, pre-established template within the facilities computer system and therefore not determined by the RD. The RD said that she did not follow the daily fluid intakes once the order has been entered into the residents EMR. The surveyor and the RD reviewed Resident #36's MARs for January 2025, February 2025, and March 2025. The RD said that the allotted fluids template on the MARs had totaled 1800 ml and not the 1200 ml as ordered by the Physician.
The RD said that the 1200 ml fluid restriction allotment in the facilities computer system was wrong and needed to be corrected. The RD said that Nurses should be totaling the daily 24-hour intake consistently but that was not done.
