Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide necessary care and services to one of
three sampled residents (Resident 1) by failing to:A. Ensure Resident 1's physician's orders were followed
when Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) held administration of Tresiba (a once-daily medication used to
manage high blood sugar).B. Ensure accurate medication administration documentation for Resident 1,
when LVN 2 did not document the Tresiba administration for Resident 1 on 8/9/2025.These deficient
practices had the potential to result in serious health complications for Resident 1.Findings:A. During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1
on 11/4/2018 and readmitted the resident on 8/12/2025 with a diagnosis including type 2 diabetes mellitus
(a chronic [persistent or long-lasting] disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insufficient
insulin [a hormone which regulates the amount of sugar in the blood] production) and unspecified
hypoglycemia (body's blood sugar level goes below the standard range).During a review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 6/25/2025, the MDS indicated Resident1's
cognitive (the ability to think and process information) skills for daily decision making were intact.During a
review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 7/1/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 1 had
an order for Tresiba 55 units (a unit of measurement) subcutaneous injection (a method of delivering
medication into the fatty tissue layer located just beneath the skin) in the morning related to type 2 diabetes
mellitus with a start date of 4/23/2025.During review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record
(MAR) dated 7/1/2025 -7/31/2025 and 8/1/2025 - 8/31/2025, the MAR indicated the 6:30 AM dose for
Tresiba 55-unit[s] subcutaneous injection was held on 7/11/2025, 7/12/2025, 7/18/2025, 7/23/2025,
7/29/2025, 7/30/2025, 8/2/2025, and 8/6/2025 by LVN 1.During a review of Resident 1's Care Plan (CP)
titled (Resident 1) has diabetes mellitus, initiated 4/29/2025, revised 8/13/2025, cancelled 8/13/2025, the
CP's goal indicated Resident 1 will have no complications related to diabetes. The CP's interventions
indicated for licensed nursing staff to administer diabetes medication as ordered by the doctor and
monitor/document for side effects and effectiveness.During a telephone interview on 8/20/2025 at 3:44 PM
with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated LVN 1 would hold Resident 1's 6:30 AM dose of Tresiba 55 units if Resident 1's
blood sugar level was below 170 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL-a unit of measurement). LVN 1 stated
Resident 1's Tresiba order did not indicate the Tresiba should be held if Resident 1's blood sugar was below
170 mg/dL. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 notified the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN1) that LVN 1 held the Tresiba
medication.During a telephone interview on 8/20/2025 at 4:30 PM with RN 1, RN 1 stated LVN 1 informed
RN 1 that LVN 1 held the Tresiba Medication for Resident 1. RN 1 stated the doctor was not notified when
Resident 1's Tresiba was held.During an interview on 8/21/2025 at 12:25 PM with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated if a physician's order does not indicate a medication was to be held, it was the
facility's policy to get a doctor's order prior to holding the medication.B. During an interview on 8/20/2025 at
12:53 PM with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated on the morning of 8/9/2025
