During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 5:08 PM, the Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) #1 stated, Normally staff would check the blood pressure and follow the parameters given. For Midodrine, some guidelines for the systolic are greater than 120 or 110. [Resident #43's name] has not had any problems receiving the medication. I wanted to be conservative due to the resident's age. The parameters of 110 is on the lower side and the medication dosage is minimal. The whole point of parameters is for staff to follow them. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled General Dose Preparation and Medication Administration with the last review date of 1/18/2024 read, Procedure . 3. Prior to administration of medication, facility staff should take all measures required by facility policy and applicable law, including, but no limiting to the following: 3.1 Verify each time a medication is administered that is the correct medication, at the correct dose, at the correct route, at the correct rate, at the correct time, for the correct resident.

During an interview on 6/24/2024 at 1:40 PM regarding restrictions of the use of straws for Resident #26, Staff D, RN, stated, I will have to check her meal ticket about straws. During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 11:55 AM, Staff D, RN, stated, We expect CNAs [Certified Nursing Assistants] to read the meal tickets. We are the last line of defense for the residents. I should have known better than to get [Resident #26's name] water and put a straw in it. Review of Resident #26's physician order dated 5/30/2024 read, CCD [Carbohydrate Controlled Diet]/CCHO [Consistent Controlled Carbohydrate] Mechanical Soft thin liquid, no straws.

Please provide bowl of gravy w/ [with] every lunch [and] dinner. During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 2:45 PM, the Speech Language Pathologist, stated, She [Resident #26] coughs when she drinks with straws. It seems to be related to facial weakness and really poor dentition. There is a possible risk for choking and aspiration pneumonia, but she does pretty well. After my clinical evaluation, watching her, and a swallow study, as a precaution, I said not to use straws. It is more as a precaution. It is better to air at the side of caution than not to do it. It is not a hard absolute, more as a precaution. If it was something we consider harmful, we would do a FMP [Functional Maintenance Plan] where we would have a meeting and train as much staff as possible and involve restorative CNA. For [Resident #26's name], we did not find it necessary to do a FMP. Some of the residents are on the edge and it was really more of a precaution than anything.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #39's progress note dated 6/20/2024 showed the APRN #1 documented, History of present illness . Unfortunately continues with hyperglycemic episodes and blood sugars trending between 154 and high will increase with multiple readings in the 400s . Plan . Continue medication, MAR reviewed. During an interview on 6/25/2024 at 2:51 PM while reviewing the two insulin orders on the MAR for June 2024 with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, The doctor was sick of the nurses calling so they put that order (referring to the Novolin R insulin order to give 12 units of insulin for blood sugars over 399). The nurses will put 'N' [Not administered] for the Novolog sliding scale order if the BS is over 399 and defer to the Novolin R order. Right now, it's confusing and the orders need to be more clear. During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 9:46 AM, the APRN #1 stated, The resident [Resident #39] is very hard to manage for her blood sugars. She will either be hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic. She is very fragile. She is not supposed to be on two insulin orders. I don't know why the pharmacy did that. I have so many medication orders for reconciliation. It's hard to keep up with. The staff communicates her elevated blood sugars with me every day, throughout the day. I am there [at the facility] five days a week. We communicate verbally throughout the day and there is a communication log at the desk that the nursing staff use if I'm not there for any non-critical blood sugar concerns and actions. The nurses and I have agreed that they should follow the orders for insulin and do not need to call me unless the blood sugar is over 450. During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 10:38 AM, Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, I am familiar with the resident [Resident #39] and have administered insulin to her. It's kind of common knowledge to give 12 units of insulin if the blood sugar is over 399. Typically, we use the sliding scale for blood sugars and give the insulin dose according to the blood sugar range. We usually will give 7 units and call the doctor for blood sugars over 399, and then the doctor may order an additional 5 units. We never go over 12 units. There is a separate PRN [as needed] order for this resident to just give the 12 units due to her labile sugars. I don't know why there are to orders, but we just know to go to the PRN order. During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 10:55 AM, Staff I, LPN, stated, I am here each day and am the rounding nurse. I work directly with [the APRN #1's name] and gather the resident information from the communication call log printed sheets in the book here at the nursing station [pointing to the empty call book on the desk]. I am very familiar with the resident [Resident #39] and her labile blood sugars. I don't know why she has two insulin orders. Typically the standard order is to give 7 units of insulin for blood sugars over 399. I think the insulin order to give her 12 units of insulin was supposed to be a one-time order as needed. I am here Monday through Friday, and the nurses communicate her blood sugars to either me or [the APRN #1's name] throughout the day if there are concerns. At night, they would call the on-call provider. During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 11:05 AM, Staff J, Registered Nurse (RN), stated, I am very familiar with the resident [Resident #39]. If the nurses have questions about the elevated blood sugars during the day, [the APRN #1's name] is here every day, but if she is not here, we call the on-call doctor. It's a standard for this resident to give her 12 units of insulin if her blood sugar levels are over 399. It is confusing, it's common knowledge for the nurses caring for her. It could be confusing for a new nurse or a nurse not familiar with her to have two orders.
