Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with a physician's order for a two-handled cup with all meals was observed eating lunch without the required adaptive equipment. The resident's beverage was served in a cup without handles, despite the tray ticket indicating the need for a two-handled cup. This observation was confirmed by a registered nurse, who acknowledged that the resident did not have the ordered adaptive cup at the time of the meal. No additional information was provided during the survey process regarding this incident.
