Unit Manager #1 stated she should have asked for Resident #6 to be reweighed for accuracy to determine if Resident #6 had a 10 to 20 pound weight loss to verify accuracy. A phone interview was conducted on 10/01/25 at 9:20 AM with Nurse Practitioner #1 who stated it was her expectation that residents with significant weight changes get reweighed.
