Summary
Therapeutic diets were not consistently prescribed by the attending physician, nor was there documentation that the responsibility for prescribing these diets was appropriately delegated to a registered or licensed dietitian as permitted by State law. This resulted in a failure to ensure that residents requiring therapeutic diets received orders from the proper medical professional, as required by regulation.
