Summary
Therapeutic diets were not consistently prescribed by the attending physician, nor was there documentation that the responsibility for prescribing these diets was properly delegated to a registered or licensed dietitian as permitted by State law. This resulted in a failure to ensure that dietary orders for residents requiring therapeutic diets were authorized in accordance with regulatory requirements.
