Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident who is a vegetarian and does not consume milk reported that her dietary needs were not being met. The resident, who has a history of right femur fracture, falls, neuropathy, and a surgical incision requiring 64 grams of protein daily, was observed receiving a lunch tray that did not meet her protein requirements. The tray included buttered noodles, green beans, and pears, which did not provide adequate protein for her condition. Staff confirmed that the meal provided did not align with the resident's documented dietary needs and preferences.
