Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way
that maximizes each resident's well being.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure licensing staffs are competent with the knowledge
of use of continuous Brand 1 glucose (blood sugar) monitoring systems, [(CGM), a continuous glucose
monitoring system helps adults and children ages 2 years and older living with diabetes (a condition that
happens when your blood sugar is too high), keep track of their glucose levels in real-time without finger
sticks, (a quick, at-home method to get a small capillary blood sample by pricking a fingertip with a sterile
lancet for tests of blood sugar)] for one (1) of one (1) sampled resident (Resident 1) This deficient practice
had the potential to result in failure of monitoring of Resident 1's blood sugar, this can cause abnormal
blood sugar ranging level, with the possibility of damage nerves, blood vessels, and vital organs due to
persistently high blood sugar levels. This failure can also cause care team to make inappropriate medical
decisions and inappropriate care plans to Resident 1. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission
Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus with unspecified complications (a chronic condition that
happens when you have persistently high blood sugar levels that resulted in kidneys damaged and the
kidneys are not function properly), unspecified systolic heart failure ( a long-term condition in which your
heart can't pump blood well enough to meet your body's needs), presence of cardiac pacemaker (an
electronic device that is implanted in the body to monitor heart rate and rhythm). During a review of
Physician Order dated 12/26/2024 indicated Resident 1 to apply CGM and change every 10 days. During a
review of Resident 1's Quarterly Minimum Data Set, (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 10/31/2025,
MDS indicated Resident 1 had no cognitive impairment, (resident has normal thinking and memory, and
their cognition is intact, and residents make good decisions). The MDS also indicated, Resident 1 is
independent, (resident completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with eating,
oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, upper and lower body dressing, putting on or taking off footwear and
personal hygiene. Resident 1 needs partial, moderate assistants (helper does less than half of the effort) for
shower and bathe self. During a review of the facility's Education/Training Attendance Roster dated
10/15/2025, it indicated Director of Nurses (DON) started her in service training to licensed nurses for how
to apply CGM device, but there was no training for programming the CGM device to the receiver (a portable
device that displays a real-time glucose readings from a CGM sensor, showing trends, highs, lows, and
sending alerts, acting as an alternative to using a smartphone), and smart phone {[a mobile phone that
performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, internet access,
and an operating system capable of running downloaded application, (app), a shortened term for a type of
software, especially a program designed to run on a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet, that perform
a specific function]}. During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/25/2025 at 4:40 PM with
Director of Nurses

(DON), the facility's Education/Training Attendance Roster dated 10/15/2025 was reviewed. The DON
stated she did not provide any training of Brand 1 glucose (blood sugar) monitoring systems to any of the
licensed nurses due to the reason that Resident 1 was capable of applying the CGM device and monitoring
the device by himself since the first date Resident 1 has the device. The DON stated she did not think it was
important to provide training to the nurses for application and monitoring of the CGM device as it is a
personal device. During an interview on 11/25/2025 at 4:46 PM with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated staff
nurses refused to replace his CGM device after it was dislodged on 11/15/2025 near 6:10 AM. Resident 1
stated he had the CGM device since 12/26/2024, facility did not provide training to the facility's licensed
nurses about how to apply and manage his CGM until late around 10/15/2025. Resident 1 also stated there
was no training to the licensed nurses for learning how to set up the CGM device's application to retrieve
the resident's blood sugar data to the facility's smart phone system, so that the nurses can see the
resident's blood sugar data from facility's smart phone system beside Resident 1's smart phone. Resident 1
stated majority of the licensed nurses told him that they were not properly trained in putting on and
managing Resident 1's CGM device on him. Resident 1 stated there was only one Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN) 1 in the facility who was confident enough to apply CGM device to his arm, but LVN 1 was not
capable of using the CGM device application to manage the resident's CGM device. During an interview on
11/26/2025 at 5:09 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the DON started facility's first
training on how to apply CGM devices to Resident 1 on 10/15/2025, this training was started after Resident
1. The DON stated the CGM application training was provided to staff nurses through watching on line
video ( a form of instruction delivered over the internet, using video content as the primary method for
teaching and learning) from Website 1, and the licensed nurses will be re-evaluated by the method of return
demonstration check-off (an educational technique where a learner demonstrates a skill they have just
been taught or observed) to the DON. The DON stated she could not provide documented evidence that a
return demonstration check-off list and/ or sign in sheet that licensed nurses undergone the training. The
DON stated setting up the CGM device on a smartphone is new and involves high technology for her. The
DON also stated she should have requested professional training (a training that equips the nurses with the
knowledge and technical competency to effectively onboard patients, interpret data, and manage diabetes
using the CGM device) from the CGM device company representative or from the facility's pharmacy to
conduct an in- person training to the facility's licensed nurses but it was not done. The DON stated training
should have been done by the time Resident 1 had the device on 12/26/2024. During a review of the
facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing, revised date
August/2022, indicated: Competent StaffCompetency is a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities,
behaviors, and other characteristics that an individual needs to perform work roles or occupational
functions successfully. All nursing staff must meet the specific competency requirements of their respective
licensure and certification requirements defined by state law.Staff must demonstrate the skills and
techniques necessary to care for resident needs including (but not limited to) the following area: person
centered care. Competency requirements and training for nursing staff are established and monitored by
nursing leadership with input from the medical director to ensure that:a. programming for staff training
results in nursing competency;b. gaps in education are identified and addressed;c. tracking or other
mechanisms are in place to evaluate effectiveness of training.
