interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the attending physician (Medical Doctor [MD] 1)
included blood sugar monitoring [an intervention that is essential for managing diabetes that involves
checking blood sugar levels using a device] and medications to manage Diabetes Mellitus [DM, a chronic
disease where a person has high blood sugar levels because the body does not produce insulin (a
hormone made by the pancreas- an organ in the body) normally] for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1) who was diabetic (a person with diagnosis of diabetes) by failing to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Ensure the licensed staff reviewed Resident 1's general acute care hospital (GACH 1) records for all
appropriate discharge orders and ensure admission orders from the facility and continuity of care for DM
was verified with MD 1, upon admission to the facility, on [DATE].
2. Ensure the licensed staff verified Resident 1's admission orders from the facility, by reviewing Resident
1's medical history from GACH 1 and addressed the resident's diagnoses of DM. There was no
documented evidence diabetes management that included blood sugar monitoring, insulin administration
and monitoring to prevent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar level) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level)
was implemented while the resident resided in the facility from [DATE] to [DATE].
3. Inform the physician that Resident 1 with DM did not have admission orders from the facility to monitor
the resident's blood sugar and if the physician wanted to continue the orders for the resident to receive
insulin to manage the resident's diabetes according to GACH 1's Discharge Documentation and in
accordance with the facility's policy and procedure titled admission Assessment.
4. Ensure the plan of care for Resident 1's DM was implemented by monitoring the resident for
hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia while residing in the facility from [DATE] to [DATE] (a total of 61 days).
As a result, Resident 1 was transferred to GACH 2 via 911 emergency services on [DATE] due to altered
level of consciousness (a change in a patient's state of awareness [ability to relate to self and the
environment]), oxygen desaturation (a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the blood) of 77% (blood
oxygen levels drop below a normal range [normal levels are 96 to100 %]) and a blood sugar level of 500
(normal blood sugar levels are between 70 to 100).
Resident 1 arrived at GACH 2 Emergency Department (ED) with a blood sugar level of 810 (normal blood
sugar levels are between 70 to 100) on [DATE]. Resident 1 was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU,
a specialized unit in a hospital that caters to patients that are critically ill) for management of Diabetic
Ketoacidosis (DKA - a serious complication of diabetes that happens when the body does not have enough
of a hormone called insulin) and died on [DATE]. According to Resident 1's

that Resident 1 was receiving insulin while at GACH 1. The MDS Nurse stated there was no documented
evidence that licensed staff verified if MD 1 would continue the order for insulin and blood sugar monitoring
as a diabetic regimen [course of treatment] for Resident 1. The MDS Nurse stated residents that have a
diagnosis of DM should have an order to have their blood sugar monitored. The MDS Nurse stated
discontinuing a medication should have a valid reason. The MDS Nurse stated the reason indicated by LVN
1 on [DATE], which read clarification of order, was not a valid reason for discontinuing the Insulin Lispro
Sliding Scale on [DATE]. The MDS Nurse stated she did not call or clarify with MD 1 to verify the insulin
medication order and blood sugar monitoring, upon completion of the resident's admission MDS [on
[DATE]]. The MDS nurse stated there was no documented evidence that Resident 1 was monitored for
signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, as indicated in the resident care plan for DM
developed on [DATE] and revised on [DATE].
During the same interview, on [DATE], at 1:28 PM, the MDS Nurse stated that she had reviewed the GACH
1 records provided to the facility upon Resident 1's admission on [DATE]. The MDS Nurse stated the GACH
1 records indicated Resident 1 was receiving insulin while at GACH 1. The MDS Nurse stated the facility
should have continued Resident 1's blood sugar monitoring and insulin because it was the GACH 1's
discharge plans for Resident 1, prior to facility admission.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1's entire facility records, from [DATE] to
[DATE], and the facility's policy and procedures on admission Assessment and admission and Orientation
of Residents on [DATE] at 2:48 PM, LVN 2 stated there was no documented evidence that another licensed
nurse, reviewed Resident 1's medication orders the next day after the resident's admission to the facility.
LVN 2 reviewed the policy and procedures on admission and Orientation of Residents, that indicated a
registered nurse will conduct the initial assessment of the resident. LVN 2 stated when a resident is
admitted during the evening or night shift by an LVN, an RN must re-assess the resident again the next day,
which should include the verification of the resident's medication orders. LVN 2 stated there was no
documented evidence that another licensed staff (RN or another LVN) conducted a drug review of Resident
1's medication orders and re-assess Resident 1 the next day, which should include verification of the
resident's medication orders, as indicated in the facility's policy titled admission Assessment and admission
and Orientation of Residents to ensure all the required orders were included.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 4:25 PM with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated when a resident is admitted to the
facility, the admitting nurse calls the physician and asks if the attending physician would like to continue
everything [medication orders from the GACH]. LVN 1 stated she does not verbally read over the resident's
entire medication list to the physician. LVN 1 stated she could not remember if she spoke to MD 1 on
[DATE], when she admitted Resident 1 to the facility. LVN 1 stated she could not remember discontinuing
any insulin medications or blood sugar monitoring for Resident 1 on [DATE]. LVN 1 stated discontinuing an
insulin order required a valid reason such as supporting the discontinuation with laboratory results such as
a Hemoglobin [Hb] A1C [a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 (pancreas does not make insulin)
and type 2 (the pancreas make less insulin) diabetes] laboratory result. LVN 1 stated the facility practice
was for the MDS Nurse to review a newly admitted resident's GACH records and for the RN supervisor to
review the admission orders for accuracy. LVN 1 stated she did not know if another licensed staff or an RN
reviewed Resident 1's admission orders the next day following admission on [DATE].
During an interview on [DATE] at 6:45 PM with the DON, the DON stated when a resident is newly admitted
to the facility, the licensed nurse should verify all the resident's medications with the physician. The DON
stated it is the licensed nurse's responsibility to notify the physician if a

that indicated a registered nurse will conduct the initial assessment of the resident. LVN 2 stated when a
resident is admitted during the evening or night shift by an LVN, an RN must re-assess the resident again
the next day, which should include the verification of the resident ' s medication orders. LVN 2 stated there
was no documented evidence that another licensed staff (RN or another LVN) conducted a drug review of
Resident 1 ' s medication orders and re-assess Resident 1 the next day, which should include verification of
the resident ' s medication orders, as indicated in the facility ' s policy titled admission Assessment and
admission and Orientation of Residents to ensure all the required orders were included.
During a phone interview on [DATE] at 4:25 PM with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated when a resident is admitted to the
facility, the admitting nurse calls the physician and asks if the attending physician would like to continue
everything [medication orders from the GACH]. LVN 1 stated she does not verbally read over the resident '
s entire medication list to the physician. LVN 1 stated she could not remember if she spoke to MD 1 on
[DATE], when she admitted Resident 1 to the facility. LVN 1 stated she could not remember discontinuing
any insulin medications or blood sugar monitoring for Resident 1 on [DATE]. LVN 1 stated discontinuing an
insulin order required a valid reason such as supporting the discontinuation with laboratory results such as
a Hemoglobin [Hb] A1C (a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes) laboratory
result. LVN 1 stated the facility practice was for the MDS Nurse to review a newly admitted resident ' s
GACH records and for the RN supervisor to review the admission orders for accuracy.
During an interview on [DATE] at 6:45 PM with the DON, the DON stated it is the licensed nurse ' s
responsibility to notify the physician if a resident ' s medical diagnosis was not addressed, such as not
having medications for a resident ' s diagnosis of DM. The DON stated for a resident with a diagnosis of
DM, the expectation is for the licensed nurse to ask the physician to add an order for blood sugar
monitoring. The DON stated discontinuing insulin must be supported by enough justification such as blood
sugar trends or laboratory values like the Hemoglobin A1C.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 1 ' s IDT Conference Record dated [DATE],
and the resident ' s entire records from [DATE] to [DATE], on [DATE] at 9:55 AM with the DON, the DON
stated the IDT Record did not show evidence that Resident 1 ' s DM was addressed. The DON stated the
IDT record did not indicate a plan for Resident 1 ' s DM such as adding an order for insulin or blood sugar
monitoring. The DON stated he could not find documented evidence the facility ' s IDT addressed Resident
1 ' s DM plan of care interventions on [DATE], to meet care plan goals to prevent complications related to
diabetes that included monitoring, documenting, and reporting signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia and
hypoglycemia. The DON stated the standard of practice for residents with DM should include blood sugar
monitoring or a Hemoglobin A1C result and visual monitoring of signs and symptoms of DM. The DON
stated there was no evidence in Resident 1 ' s records that the facility ' s licensed nurses monitored the
resident for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and other signs and symptoms of DM
such as frequent urination or increased thirst. The DON stated there was no laboratory order made by the
physician (MD 1) that included Hb A1c during the resident ' s stay in the facility from [DATE] to [DATE]. The
DON stated that Resident 1 ' s MAR from [DATE] to [DATE] did not indicate Resident 1 was monitored for
blood sugar levels and DM signs and symptoms.
During a review of the facility ' s MRR for the months of 2/2024, 3/2024, and 4/2024, the MRR did not have
documented evidence that Pharmacist Consultant (PH) 1 addressed or provided pharmacy
recommendations related to Resident 1 ' s diagnosis of DM. The MRR did not indicate recommendations
for blood sugar monitoring or insulin regimen to manage Resident 1 ' s DM.

would base her recommendations on the results of the blood sugar checks. PH 1 stated she could not
remember Resident 1 and did not check the resident ' s medication records why Resident 1 ' s insulin and
blood sugar checks were discontinued on admission ([DATE]). PH 1 stated that if she knew Resident 1 had
diabetes and did not have any blood sugar checks, she would have recommended for blood sugar checks
or a Hemoglobin A1C laboratory test to be done and would have recommended insulin or oral diabetes
medications (medications taken by mouth to manage blood sugar levels).
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:19 PM, MD 1 stated that normally the current medications from the
acute hospital are continued when a resident is admitted to the facility. MD 1 stated he could not remember
Resident 1, but he signed and performed the resident ' s History and Physical assessment on [DATE]. MD 1

the resident could get hyperglycemic [increase blood sugar levels]. MD 1 stated, Resident 1 should have
received insulin while in the facility. MD 1 stated, Resident 1's blood sugar levels could go high if not
monitored and complication such as DKA could happen and result in death. MD 1 stated, he was not aware
Resident 1 did not have an order for blood sugar monitoring, and if he knew that Resident 1 had a
diagnosis of diabetes, he would have placed an order for blood sugar monitoring. MD 1 stated he expected
the facility ' s licensed nurses to let him know that Resident 1 did not have blood sugar monitoring for the
management of DM. MD 1 stated, discontinuing insulin needs documented justification and could not recall
if the facility ' s licensed nurses informed him of Resident 1 ' s blood sugar monitoring.
