Summary
The facility failed to provide care in accordance with professional standards for one of three sampled residents. Specifically, the facility did not follow a physician's order for fluid restriction for a resident, as identified through observation, interview, and record review. This lapse resulted in the resident not receiving the prescribed limitation on daily fluid intake as ordered by the physician. The deficiency was identified based on direct evidence that the resident's care did not align with the physician's instructions regarding fluid restriction, which is a diet limiting the amount of daily fluid consumption.
