The dietitian will review the weights to follow individual weight trends over time.
Negative trends will be evaluated by the treatment team whether or not the criteria for significant weight change have been met.
Assessment information shall be analyzed by the multidisciplinary team and conclusions shall be made regarding the resident's target weight range, approximate calorie, protein, and other nutrient needs compared with the resident's current intake, the relationship between current medical condition or clinical situation and recent fluctuations in weight, and whether and to what extent weight stabilization or improvement can be anticipated.
Care planning for weight loss or impairment will be a multidisciplinary effort and will include the interdisciplinary team (IDT).

Review of the medication administration record (MAR) revealed Resident #28 did not receive pregabalin 75 mg on 10/13/25 at 8:00 P.M. through 10/20/25 at 8:00 A.M. Resident #28 received pregabalin 75 mg on 10/20/25 at 8:00 P.M. through 10/22/25 at 8:00 A.M. Resident #28 did not receive pregabalin 75 from 10/22/25 at 8:00 P.M. through 10/27/25 at 8:00 A.M.
Review of the resident's progress notes revealed pregabalin was not available on 10/13/25 through 10/20/25 and 10/22/25 through 10/27/25.
Review of a nursing progress note dated 10/19/25 at 4:16 P.M. revealed the pharmacy requested a new prescription for pregabalin 75 mg twice a day.
The pharmacy indicated pregabalin could not be filled without a new prescription.
The on-call certified nurse practitioner (CNP) was contacted, and a three-day supply prescription was sent to pharmacy.
Nursing staff were to follow up with the primary care physician or CNP for the need of a new prescription.
Review of a triage note dated 10/20/25 at 12:59 A.M. revealed Resident #28 was readmitted to the facility.
The resident's pregabalin was changed from 100 mg twice a day to 75 mg twice a day.
The pharmacy had not filled this particular script yet.
The pharmacy indicated they have not received a new prescription to indicate the change in dosage.
The CNP was notified about the dosage change and the need for the new prescription. An interview on 10/27/25 at 1:30 P.M. with Resident #28 stated she did not know why her pain medication was stopped. Resident #28 stated the medication was stopped when she returned from the hospital. An interview on 10/27/25 at 3:16 P.M. with Regional Director of Nursing #300 stated the pharmacy would not send Resident #28's pregabalin without a prescription.
Regional Director of Nursing #300 stated the facility CNP indicated the prescription had been sent but the pharmacy responded they never received the prescription.
