Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow physician order to check urine
for presence of ketones for one (R1) of three residents reviewed for diabetic management.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R1's diagnoses include but not limited to Type 1 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis without coma.
On 01/10/2025 at 10:09 AM, R1 was observed resting in her room. R1 voiced concerns about the facility
not informing her of her blood sugar levels and not checking her urine for ketones.
R1's Physician Order Sheet document an order dated 12/24/2025 as follows: Ketone Test In Vitro Strip
(Acetone (Urine) Test) 1 unspecified in vitro as needed for DM related to TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS
WITH KETOACIDOSIS WITHOUT COMA (E10.10) To check when Accucheck is over 300 - notify MD if
moderate or high.
R1's January 2025 Medication Administration Record (MAR) documents the following blood sugar test
results:
1/1/2025 07:30 341 miligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)
1/2/2025 07:30 314 mg/dL
1/5/2025 07:30 348 mg/dL
1/7/2025 07:30 349 mg/dL
1/8/2025 07:30 304 mg/dL
1/10/2025 07:30 350 mg/dL
The January 2025 MAR excludes documentation that Ketostix test was completed. KetoStix is a ketone test
that can warn you of a serious diabetes complication called diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA.
On 01/10/2025 at 10:43 AM, V5, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) ,stated that R1 has an order for Ketostix
test to be done when blood sugar levels are above 300 mg/dl. V5 showed R1's unopened box of Ketostix
Ketone strips taken from the Medication cart with a dispensed date of 12/29/2024. V5 confirmed that the
box is still unopened and looked like nobody has used it yet. V5 stated that R1's blood

sugar level was 350 mg/dL this morning but V5 did not use the Ketostix strip to check R1's urine for
Ketones because R1 didn't want to check it at that time because R1 wanted to sleep some more. V5 also
stated that Ketone test results should be documented in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). V5
confirmed that the January 2025 MAR excludes any Ketostix results.
01/10/2025 at 1:47 PM V2, Director of Nursing (DON) stated The facility policy is to make sure we follow the
physician orders. I expect the nurses to follow the doctor's order. If it's not marked, if it's not documented, it
wasn't done. If blood sugar levels are running that high, there is a danger for diabetic keto acidosis. KetoStix
is used to find out if there's ketones in the urine, if there's high levels of ketone in the urine, it can be life
threatening.
01/10/2025 at 3:00 PM V2, Director of Nursing (DON) stated that she has informed the doctor that the
physician order for the Ketostix was not being performed as ordered and that the order for the Ketostix has
been discontinued.
Facility did not present a policy on following doctors' orders.
