Summary
The facility failed to obtain weights for a resident according to physician's orders. Facility policy required all residents to be weighed by the 10th of each month, and a physician's order specified that the resident was to be weighed every day shift from the 1st to the 10th of each month. Review of the clinical record showed that, since admission, there was no documentation that the resident had been weighed as ordered. The Director of Nursing confirmed during an interview that the resident had not been weighed since admission. The resident had diagnoses including stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure.
