Summary
The facility failed to implement physician orders for two residents with significant medical conditions. One resident with congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension had a physician's order to be weighed daily, but documentation showed that staff did not weigh the resident on four specified dates. Another resident with dementia, protein-calorie malnutrition, and chronic kidney disease had an order to be weighed weekly, but there was no evidence that staff weighed this resident as ordered during a specified period. The Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no documented evidence that staff attempted to weigh either resident as required by the physician's orders.
