F 0635 Provide doctor's orders for the resident's immediate care at the time the resident was admitted. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on 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].

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.
