F0692 — Nutrition/Hydration Status Maintenance
F0692 requires the facility to maintain acceptable parameters of nutritional and hydration status for each resident, and to provide appropriate treatment when a resident is at risk for or already experiencing decline. It's closely tied to weight tracking, intake monitoring, and dietary/hydration intervention documentation.
Common Deficiency Examples
- Significant weight loss without corresponding nutritional intervention or physician notification
- Inadequate intake/output tracking for a resident on a hydration protocol
- Care plan not updated following a dietitian recommendation
- Delayed response to declining nutritional labs or clinical signs
