Answers:
Resident A. What did the speech therapist recommend on 2/28/14? Does ST plan to do a followup? If not, should another ST consult be considered? There are no lab dates. Can it be true that the resident has never had lab work? Is the dietitian aware of the steady decline in meal intake over the past 4 weeks? The pureed diet was ordered on admission, but could the diet be advanced at this stage? Who will speak with the speech therapist? Should a supplement be considered? Has the dietitian spoken to the resident about food preferences? How are the resident's spirits? Has the nursing assistant noticed any change in mood? Is this person depressed? Is a psych consult in order?
Resident B. Is the dietitian aware of the poor meal intake over the past 4 weeks? Has he or she spoken to the resident or family about food preferences? Has this resident or family been approached regarding hospice? It has been a while since any labs have been done. Has this been discussed with the physician or resident and family? Should PT evaluate the appropriateness of the support surfaces? How are the resident's spirits? Does the nursing assistant or social worker have any insight into this resident's frame of mind? Should a social services or psych consult be considered?
Resident C. Is the dietitian aware of the decline in meal intake over the past 4 weeks? Has he or she discussed food preferences with the resident and family? What is the nursing assistant seeing?
