Resident identifiers: #19 and #46. Facility census: 45. Findings include: a) Resident #46 A random observation of the lunch meal, on 11/09/15 at 12:05 p.m., revealed Resident #46 in his room with his lunch tray on the over-bed table in front of him.

NA #72 did not offer the resident a substitute meal. b) Resident #19 During an observation of the dinner meal, Resident #19 related to Nurse Aide (NA) #68 he did not like his vegetable and removed it from his plate. NA #68 did not offer the resident a substitute. c) An interview with the director of nursing (DON), on 11/11/15 at 1:14 p.m., revealed staff should have offered substitutes of similar nutritive value when a resident refused a food item and/or meal.
