If less than 70, notify MD [Medical Doctor], follow hypoglycemia [a low blood sugar result] protocol. Inject as per sliding scale, 201-250 = 2 units, 251-300 = 4 units, 301-360 = 8 units, greater than 400, administer 10 units and notify MD.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services for maintaining urine flow and ensuring proper infection control techniques for urinary catheter care for 1 of 3 residents, Resident #361, reviewed for urinary catheters in a total sample of 37 residents. Findings include: Review of the admission record for Resident #361 documented diagnoses to include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, type II diabetes mellitus, and essential primary hypertension. Review the physician orders for Resident #361 dated 12/29/2023 read, Catheter Care: Monitor urinary catheter for impairment of drainage flow (kinks). Ensure bag has privacy cover and is below bladder. During an observation on 1/8/2024 at 11:51 AM, Resident #361 was sitting in a wheelchair in the hallway with a urinary catheter drainage bag attached to the wheelchair with the catheter tubing resting on the floor and dragging across the floor when Resident #361 began wheeling himself in the hallway. The tubing had amber colored urine and was not able to drain into the urinary catheter drainage bag. During an observation on 1/9/2024 at 7:51 AM, Resident #361 was sleeping in bed with his urinary catheter drainage bag on the floor with amber colored urine from the top of the tubing, filling the tubing and unable to drain into the urinary catheter drainage bag. During an observation on 1/10/24 at 8:15 AM, Resident#361 was sitting in a wheelchair with a urinary catheter bag attached to the wheelchair. The catheter tubing was looped and was dragging on the floor as the resident wheeled himself in the wheelchair. The tubing was filled with amber colored urine and was unable to drain into the urinary catheter drainage bag. During an interview on 1/9/2023 at 7:55 AM Staff F, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated, Oh, it [the catheter tubing/drainage bag] should not be that way. The tubing should not be all looped and kinked and it should not be on the floor. The urine needs to drain into the bag, and it can't. During an interview on 1/9/2024 at 8:03 AM, Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, The catheter [drainage bag] should not be on the floor and tubing should not be dragged on the ground. Catheters should be kept so urine is able to flow out and it can't that way. During an interview on 1/11/2023 at 10:40 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, All catheter tubing should be free of loops or kinks that would prevent the urine from freely draining. This could cause a UTI [urinary tract infection]. We should evaluate the resident when we place them in a wheelchair to make sure the tubing is not looping, kinking, or dragging on the ground. Review of the policy and procedure titled, Indwelling Catheters with an issue date of 4/1/2022, and last approval date of 8/12/2023 read, It will be the policy of this facility to provide appropriate documentation for use and care for indwelling catheters of the resident's that have the indication for use beyond 14 days.

F 0761 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately locked, compartments for controlled drugs. Based on observation, interview, and review of facility policy and procedure the facility failed to label and store all medications in accordance with professional standards of practice in 3 of 4 medication carts reviewed for medication storage. Findings include: During an observation of medication cart #1 on 1/8/2023 at 8:55 AM with Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) there was one unopened Levemir insulin pen with pharmacy instructions to refrigerate until opened and one unopened Ozempic pen with pharmacy instructions to refrigerate until opened. During an interview on 1/8/2024 at 9:03 AM Staff A, LPN stated, They must have just been put on the cart. I did not put them on the cart. They should be in the refrigerator until we need them, and they are opened. During an observation of medication cart #2 on 1/8/2024 at 9:05 AM with Staff B, LPN there was one unopened bottle of latanoprost ophthalmic solution (eye drops) with pharmacy instructions to refrigerate until opened, and one Loperamide (a medication to treat diarrhea) tablet with no resident identifier and not in the original pharmacy packaging. During an interview on 1/8/2024 at 9:10 AM Staff B, LPN stated, I think the eye drops are labeled to refrigerate until opened, these are not opened. During an observation of medication cart #3 on 1/8/2024 at 9:12 AM with Staff C, LPN there was one opened 10 ml (milliliter) bottle of Lidocaine 1% with no resident identifier, no date opened and not within the original pharmacy packaging, one opened bottle of Lidocaine 1% 10 ml bottle with no date opened, one opened bottle of Dorzol/timolol ophthalmic solution with no date opened, one opened bottle of prednisolone acetate ophthalmic solution with an opened date of 11/2/2023 and one opened bottle of Latanoprost 0.005% ophthalmic solution with an open date of 11/2/23. During an interview on 1/8/2023 at 9:15 AM Staff C, LPN stated, The lidocaine should have the dates opened, what the resident's name is, and it should be in the pharmacy bag with the resident's name. I think all eye drops are good for six months after they are opened, but I don't really know. Review of GoodRx - www.goodrx.com reads, Many manufacturers recommend that you throw away eye drops 28 days after opening the bottle. This is because the preservatives inside can start to break down and allow bacteria to grow. During an interview on 1/11/2024 at 11:10 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I expect all staff to label medications, remove expired medications from the cart daily, and keep all medications in the refrigerator until they are ready to be used.
