She stated she was aware of the weight loss on 12/25/12 and should have completed the form for Significant Weight Loss. She further stated this would have reminded her to notify the physician of the significant weight loss and add the resident to her list of residents with weight loss which are reviewed in the weekly weight meetings. She further stated after reviewing her meeting notes, the resident was not being followed in the weight meetings and was not on the Colored Napkin Program. She further stated she did not show the resident as having a significant weight loss on the January 2013 weight report.
