A late entry Nursing progress note by the Registered Nurse Supervisor, Staff A, documented on 08/26/23
at 6:53 PM, Writer educated resident on hypoglycemic / hyperglycemic sign and symptoms (s/s). Writer had
assigned nurse notify resident physician and family. Nursing teaching provided, Resident verbalized
understanding.
The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) assigned to the resident, Staff B, documented on 08/26/23 at 11:15
PM, Resident complained of (c/o) dizziness, frequent urination,and nausea. Glucose checked results 360, 8
units of Humalog given via sliding scale. Resident still c/o dizziness, and nausea. glucose checked again
results 550. Doctor [name] notified via text. Instructed to give an additional 10 units of Humalog. Continued
to monitor residents glucose every 30 min. Glucose decreased to 280 by 2030. Resident demanded
another 10 units of insulin. I informed the resident that he has a routine dose of long acting insulin at
bedtime. 2045: paramedics came up to the unit saying the resident in [room #] called 911. I was not aware
of the resident calling 911. Went with EMS [Emergency Medical Services] to resident room. Resident stated
'I told her my blood sugar was high and she ignored me and she did nothing for me'. EMS checked
resident's vitals and everything was in normal range. Resident was not transferred to hospital. Resident
family notified. No distress noted at this time. Call light within reach.
Further review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) failed to document the blood sugars noted
nor did the electronic record document the additional insulin dosage of Humalog 10 units prescribed by the
physician.
An interview was conducted on 10/30/23 at 3:41 PM with the Licensed Practical Nurse, Staff B. She did
recall the incident noted above regarding the resident's elevated blood sugars. She recalled giving the initial
8 units which was documented. She stated she did not give the 10 units. The surveyor also informed the
nurse the clinical record did not document the additional order prescribed for the resident for the elevated
blood sugar of 550 [mg/dl] as noted in her progress note. She further stated the nursing supervisor was
assisting her that evening and she thought she put the order in and carried out the order. The nurse stated
we were really busy that night and she jotted down some notes in her personal notebook and proceeded to
show the surveyor the handwritten notes she had. The surveyor again inquired about the resident receiving
the 10 units of insulin. She confirmed she did not give the additional insulin coverage prescribed. She
further showed the surveyor the text she stated she received from the Nursing Supervisor who texted the
physician, which noted [Resident #1's] blood sugar at 4:00 PM was 360 [mg/dl] coverage of 8 units was
given. We checked now because he complained of nausea and urination frequency and his accucheck was
550 [mg/dl]. I gave him 10 more units of the Humalog. Ok. Thank you.
A telephone interview was conducted on 10/30/23 at approximately 4:30 PM with the Nursing Supervisor,
Staff A, who reported she did recall the incident. When asked about giving the Resident #1 insulin, she
stated she would not have given the additional unit unless she was on the medication cart, otherwise it
would have been given by the nurse giving medications. The surveyor then relayed the text message, Staff
B showed the surveyor regarding the text conversation she sent to the physician, which indicated she gave
the resident Humalog 10 units for the accucheck of 550 [mg/dl]. She stated she does not recall giving the
resident the 10 units but she too, will jot down personal notes because they were busy. She stated she
wasn't home but she would check her notes when she got home and contact the surveyor.
A telephone call was received on 10/30/23 at 6:35 PM from Staff A, who stated her notes indicate that she
gave the Humalog 10 units. The surveyor requested that she email her the note. The note

documented that Resident #1 complained of feeling nausea and frequent urination. Accucheck at 4:00 PM,
360 [mg/dl], coverage of 8 units given. Checked again at 5:56-6:00 PM, accucheck 550 [mg/dl], 10 more
units of the Humalog given as ordered by the physician.
It should be noted that Staff A took the time to write a late entry progress note about educating Resident #1
regarding the signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia and took the time to document personal notation
of her alleged administration of said medication, but failed to document a telephone order from the
physician and implementation of this order in the electronic clinical record.
