Resident 90 requested for pancakes and
regular textured food; CNA I stated the kitchen
sent him pureed food.
Review of Resident's 90's quarterly nutrition
assessment dated 4/4/19, indicated a
recommendation from the registered dietician
(RD) for the IDT to discuss Resident 90's
preference for regular textured food to improve
quality of life.
During an interview and concurrent record

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to follow physician
orders for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 52), when registered nurse (RN) did
not give apple juice and glucagon (hormone) as
ordered during hypoglycemic episodes (blood
sugar below reference ranges). These failures
had the potential to result to life-threatening
complications.
Finding:
During review of clinical record, Resident 52
was admitted on 2/24/19 with diagnoses
including diabetes mellitus (DM, high blood
sugar) with non-coma (deep state of prolonged
unconsciousness) ketoacidosis (excess blood
acids), DM Type 1 (insulin dependent) with
hyperglycemia (blood sugar above target
levels), and DM Type 2 (adult onset diabetes)
with diabetic autonomic neuropathy (type of
nerve damage that can occur with diabetes).
During observation on 7/14/19 at 9:00 a.m.,
Resident 52 was lying in bed and his eyes
closed in a deep sleep. On 07/15/19 at 4:30
p.m., Resident 52 was sitting in bed and
conversant. He stated yesterday morning he
had hypoglycemic episode. Resident 52 also
stated the nurse gave his insulin too early and
did not ensure he ate his breakfast. The
paramedic staff injected sugar in him.

shaking while walking in the nurses' station.
Resident 52 had tremors and body sweat.
During interview with RN T on 7/15/19 at 4:45
p.m., RN T stated she checked Resident 52's
finger sticks blood glucose (FSBG, a method to
measure blood sugar) on 7/14/19 at 7:15 a.m.
When the result showed 42 milligrams per
deciliter (mg/dl, unit of sugar in the blood), RN
T did not give apple juice to Resident 52 which
he preferred because immediately available on
hand was orange juice. RN T also stated that
when Resident 52's FSBG continued to drop
from 42 mg/dl to 23 mg/dl, RN T did not
administer glucagon because she did not know
it was available in the emergency kit and so
she called paramedics who gave dextrose
(simple sugar).
Review of Resident 52's physician's order
dated 5/17/19 indicated the following orders:
"If hypoglycemic, please give apple juice
instead of orange juice; Give Glucagon 1 mg
IM/SC x 1 if BS is low and unresponsive, check
FSBS 15 min if remain unresponsive with low
BS MR X 1, notify MD and call 911 as needed

continue to be low MR x 1 & call MD, as
needed.
The facility's policy and procedure, "Nursing

According to http://www.avanir.com/nuedexta
(website for Nuedexta), Nuedexta was
approved for the treatment of PseudoBulbar
Affect (PBA). PBA is a medical condition that
causes involuntary, sudden, and frequent
episodes of crying and/or laughing in people
living with certain neurologic conditions or brain
injury. PBA episodes were typically
exaggerated or don't match how the person
feels. Most common side effects were diarrhea,
dizziness, cough, vomiting, weakness, swelling
of feet and ankles, urinary tract infection, flu
like symptoms, abnormal liver tests, and gas.

them and appropriate assistance to ensure that
the resident can use the assistive devices
when consuming meals and snacks.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review the facility failed to provide two of three
residents (Residents 90 and 26) with adaptive
assistive device during meals when Residents
90 and 26 were not given nosey cut cups (a
cup with a nose cut out that allows with proper
head positioning, avoid neck extension and
spillage). This failure could potentially
compromise residents' head and neck
positioning while drinking and limit the degree
of independence of the resident.
Findings:
Review of Resident 90's clinical record
indicated he has diagnoses including
quadriplegia (paralysis that results in the partial
or total loss of use of all their limbs and torso).
During an observation on 7/15/19 at 7:50 a.m.,
Resident 90 was being fed breakfast by
certified nursing assistant I (CNA I). A nosey
cut cup was not observed on Resident 90's
meal tray and was not used while giving
beverages to Resident 90.

adaptive equipment indicated Resident 90
required a nosey cut cup.
During an interview with the minimum data set
coordinator (MDSC) on 7/17/19 at 9:06 a.m.,
the MDSC confirmed Resident 90 needed a
nosey cut cup during meals.

nurse M (LVN M) who was also the infection
preventionist on 7/17/19 at 10:06 a.m., she
stated the indwelling catheter bag should be
covered in a blue bag at all times.

facility's policy to provide services relating to
use of foley/indwelling catheter to prevent
resident from developing related infection.

§483.90(e)(1)(ii) Measure at least 80 square
feet per resident in multiple resident bedrooms,
and at least 100 square feet in single resident
rooms;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation and interview, the facility
failed to ensure multiple resident rooms had at
least 80 square feet per resident. Having less
than 80 square feet per resident could
potentially compromise the care and services
the residents received.
Findings:
The following resident rooms' square footage
measured as follows:
