On 05/15/25 at 1:05 PM, V20 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated she has worked frequently at the facility for about the last three months, since mid January. After reviewing R6's Electronic Health Record, V20 stated she can see where R6 went to the hospital due to high blood sugars. V20 stated she can see where she had an order for sliding scale dated 12/31/24 and it was discontinued and another order dated 12/31/04 that was not confirmed until the 01/04/25 and she did not receive any sliding scale for those days. V20 said she does not know why the order was not confirmed in the Electronic Health Record on 12/31/24 and she does not know why she was not receiving the sliding scale insulin because R6 is a brittle diabetic. On 05/16/25 at 3:23 PM, V26 (Physician) stated he would not know specifically without looking at R6's record to know if not receiving her sliding scale insulin would have prevented R6 from going to the emergency room, but she does have an order for sliding scale insulin. V26 said he would expect R6 to receive the order as directed and if her blood glucose was low she would not get insulin. R6 is a delicate diabetic and her blood glucose is hard to manage in an outpatient setting. On 05/19/25 at 8:10 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated the orders that residents had prior to going to the hospital should always be reviewed when the orders are reentered into the system to make sure that none are missed. R6 should have received the sliding scale insulin.
