Answers:
-
Vital signs: There is a slightly elevated temp with pulse and respiratory rate trending up over the past 2 weeks. O2 sat has dropped over the past week.
Meal intake: Breakfast is this resident's best meal; lunch and dinner intake have declined significantly over the last 2 weeks. Supplement intake is minimal.
ADLs: It appears the resident is trending toward increased dependence, especially in the last 2 weeks.
-
Questions for the nursing assistant: This resident seems to be declining in certain ADLs for several weeks. Have you noticed this? Can you provide more details? Do you have any idea of what's going on? How has her appetite been? Can you explain the dramatic reduction in meal intake for lunch and dinner over the last 2 weeks? Have you noticed a decline in her intake? Have you noticed any changes in her food preferences? How has her energy level been? Same or different? How about her orientation or cognitive level? Any differences there?
Questions for the nurse manager: This resident now has two pressure ulcers. Has this newest ulcer been evaluated by the wound nurse? Have you discussed the progress of these pressure ulcers with the physician? How frequently are the labs drawn? Should labs be more frequent now with the additional pressure ulcer? There have been no changes in the support surfaces on the bed or chair. Should rehab evaluate these surfaces to make sure they are still the most appropriate options?
Questions for the dietitian: This resident's meal intake has been declining but only for lunch and dinner. Do you have an explanation? Have you spoken to the resident about food preferences? With a new pressure ulcer, have calorie and vitamin requirements been re-evaluated? Would you recommend any particular labs be drawn?
