When the blood pressure is too low, we hold the Carvedilol. For the Midodrine, she gets it when the bottom blood pressure is lower than 60. Midodrine we really look more at the diastolic blood pressure.

During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:30 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, Long-acting insulins should not be held unless the doctor gives an order to hold it. If the resident refuses and is adamant that they don't want it, the nurse should educate the resident. If they have been educated and continue to refuse, the nurse should notify the doctor of the refusal and document a note. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 10:17 AM, the Medical Doctor #4 stated, Long-acting insulin should not be held. If long-acting insulin is held, the blood sugar can go high. I expect the nurses to give the long-acting insulin and not hold it. I looked at [Resident #72's name] blood sugars, and they have all been below 179, so I do not believe he has experienced any harm or consequences due to the insulin being held.

During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:39 AM, the Director of Nursing stated, Nursing documentation is expected to be accurate and should ask questions if they need an order to be clarified. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 12:47 PM, Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN), stated, I always give her the Glipizide if it is more than 180. If she refuses, then I will call the daughters and tell them also. Maybe I am documenting it in the wrong area. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 9:10 AM, the Medical Doctor #3 stated, [Resident #34's name] is very non complainant with her antidiabetic medication. She will often refuse and will absolutely not want insulin injections. The Glipizide orders have parameters as a request from the daughters. She is a very brittle diabetic and will bottom out easily, but she is very non-complainant. I do think the nurse give her the Glipizide as per the parameters when she allows them to.
