There was no documented evidence that wound care treatment was provided on 9/15/2025.3. Two insulin aspart orders were not transcribed from the hospital discharge instructions onto the facility's medication list from 9/5/2025 to 9/16/2025. As a result, blood sugar levels were not checked, and insulin was not administered per sliding scale orders during this period.These failures resulted in missed wound care treatments and unmonitored blood sugar levels, which had the potential to compromise Resident 1's health and well-being. 1. A review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition characterized by hyperglycemia due to the body's inability to use insulin effectively or produce enough insulin), skin ulcers, and a non-pressure chronic ulcer of the right ankle. A review of the hospital discharge instructions dated 9/5/2025 indicated wound care orders for the right lower extremity, with dressings to be changed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday using the following materials:1) Prisma activated by saline2) Gauze3) Two ABD pads4) Kerlix5) ACE bandageA review of the facility's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for September 2025 indicated a wound care treatment order for the right lower extremity that included Prisma (activated with saline), gauze, ABD pads, kerlix, and ACE wrap from below the knee.

During an interview and concurrent record review on 9/23/2025 at 2:20 p.m., Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) A reviewed the September 2025 TAR and nursing progress notes from 9/5 to 9/16.

LVN A acknowledged there was no documented evidence of wound care treatments on 9/8, 9/10, and 9/15. LVN A stated the wound care nurse should have transcribed the wound care treatment order on 9/5/2025 per the hospital discharge instructions and that the treatments should have been provided as ordered.3. A review of the hospital discharge instructions dated 9/5/2025 also indicated updated medication orders to carry over to the skilled nursing facility (SNF), including:1)Insulin aspart correctional scale, subcutaneously before meals (three times daily)2)Insulin aspart correctional scale, subcutaneously at bedtimeA review of the facility's medication list indicated insulin aspart (Novolog 100 units/mL) was not started until 9/17/2025.
