Physician #905 revealed he was notified Resident #12 had a 17 pound weight loss and was aware the resident had decreased oral intake and indicated speech therapy was working with the resident. When Physician #905 was asked if 12.5 milligrams of hydrochlorothiazide would cause a 17 pound weight loss in two weeks with very slight edema, Physician #905 responded, no.Review of the facility's Weight Monitoring policy revealed the facility would ensure all residents maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status, such as usual body weight or desirable body weight range and electrolyte balance, unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrated that that was not possible or resident preference indicate otherwise. A comprehensive nutritional assessment was completed upon admission to identify those at risk for unplanned weight loss/gain or compromised nutritional status.
Information gathered from the nutritional assessment and current dietary standards of practice were used to develop an individualized care plan to address the resident's specific nutritional needs, including the resident's personal goals and preferences. Interventions were implemented, monitored and modified (as appropriate), consistent with the resident's assessed needs, choices, preferences, goals and current professional standards to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional status. A weight monitoring schedule was developed upon admission for all residents. Newly admitted residents' weight will be monitored as close to weekly as possible for the initial 4 weeks and at least monthly thereafter. At the direction of the practitioner in collaboration with the facility, weights may be monitored more frequently as clinically indicated. Newly recorded weights were compared to the previous recorded weights. A significant weight change is defined as:a. 5% change in one monthb. 7.5% change in three monthsc. 10% change in six monthsSignificant changes in weight are reported to the practitioner.This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2649063.
