**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and review of facility policy and procedure the facility failed to notify the physician
when Resident #19's blood sugar was above 350 per physician order. This affected one resident (Resident
#19) out of two residents reviewed for unnecessary medication that received glucometer checks. This had
the potential to affect seven residents (Resident #10, #19, #20, #21, #27, #131, and #181) that received
blood sugar checks per glucometer. The facility census was 28.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #19 revealed an admission date of 06/21/19 and diagnoses that
included diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and spinal stenosis.
Review of the care plan dated 09/03/19 revealed Resident #19 had diabetes. Interventions included
diabetes medications as ordered by the physician, monitor, document, and report to the physician as
needed signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia (low/high blood sugar).
Review of the quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #19 had
impaired cognition and required supervision with bed mobility and limited assistance of one person with
transfers. She was unable to ambulate.
Review of physician orders for December 2019 revealed Resident #19 had an order for Humalog (insulin)
solution 100 units per milliliter and inject subcutaneously at bedtime per sliding scale (according to results
of blood sugar checks) for diabetes. She was to receive zero units for a accu-chek (blood sugar check) from
70 to 249, she was to receive one unit of insulin with an accu-chek from 250 to 299, she was to receive two
units of insulin with an accu-chek from 300 to 349, and if the accu-chek was above 350 she was to receive
two units of insulin and the nurse was to notify her physician.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for December 2019 revealed on 12/09/19 Resident
#19's accu-chek at 9:00 P.M. was 385, and on 12/26/19 her accu-chek at 9:00 P.M. was 386. She received
two units of Humalog solution subcutaneously.
Review of nursing notes for Resident #19 from 12/01/19 through 12/31/19 revealed on 12/09/19 and on
12/26/19 there was no documentation the physician was contacted regarding Resident #19's accu-chek
above 350 per her physician order.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 01/02/19 at 2:05 P.M. verified Resident #19 had an order to
contact the physician if her blood sugar was above 350. She verified on 12/09/19 her accu(continued on next page)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and observation the facility failed to ensure Resident #20's wheelchair was
maintained in safe condition. This affected one of 28 residents observed for environment. The facility
census was 28.
Findings include:
Resident #20 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including heart failure, morbid obesity
and diabetes mellitus type two.
Review of the Plan of Care with an initial date of 08/08/19 revealed he was at risk for skin breakdown due to
his morbid obesity and diabetes mellitus type two.
The Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed he had cognitive impairment, needed
limited assistance of one person for bed mobility and transfers and extensive assistance of one person for
toileting, dressing and hygiene. He was able to move on an off the unit using his wheelchair.
Observation was conducted on 12/30/19 at 9:26 A.M. of Resident #20 sitting in the hallway. The right arm of
his wheelchair was missing the padded covering exposing the bare metal. There were two metal pins
approximately 1/3 inch in diameter and half an inch long protruding out of the arm rest and leaving multiple
indents in the skin of his right arm. Activity Director (AD) #900 was passing by at 9:46 A.M. and verified the
right arm rest was missing the padding. AD #900 said she was unaware it was broken. Resident #20
interjected it had been like that for one month.
Observation and interview was conducted on 12/31/19 at 8:57 A.M. to 9:10 A.M. with Resident #20. The
right arm rest padding was still missing. The metal pins were digging into his arm leaving multiple circular
indents in the shape of the pin head. This was verified with the Administrator at 8:58 A.M. The Administrator
added Resident #20 was supposed to be getting a new chair from Hospice due to his tendency to slide
forward in his current chair. At 9:10 A.M. the Administrator found a replacement handle from a spare
wheelchair in storage at the facility and fixed the wheelchair arm rest for the resident.

resident reviewed for baseline care plan.
Findings include:
Resident #181 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia,
chronic post-traumatic stress disorder, recurrent major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder,
and mild cognitive impairment.
Review of physician orders dated 12/20/19 revealed the resident was to receive trazodone (antidepressant)

resident's needs which included diagnoses of schizophrenia, paranoid type, anxiety, post-traumatic stress
disorder, major depressive disorder, cognitive disorder, a labile (irregular) mood with irritability, limited
insight and judgment, poor memory, and early signs of increased symptoms including increased paranoia.

diagnoses, doctors orders, and PASRR information should be included in baseline care plans, and verified
Resident #181's baseline care plan did not include information related to his mental illness or the results of
his PASRR Determination.
Interview on 01/02/20 at 4:14 P.M. with Social Worker #360 revealed Resident #181 was scheduled to begin

cognition. She was totally dependent on one person for bed mobility and transfers occurred only once or
twice with two person assist. She was unable to ambulate. She was totally dependent on two persons with
toileting and was always continent of the bowel.
Review of care plan dated 10/31/19 revealed Resident #21 had the potential for constipation related to

third toe. RN #600 removed her gloves and washed her hands. She applied a new pair of gloves. She then
cleansed Resident #19's left lateral lower leg, left proximal lower leg, left great toe and left third toe. RN
#600 did not remove her gloves or wash her hands in between cleansing of each wound area. After
cleansing each wound, she removed her gloves and washed her hands and applied a new pair of gloves.
She then applied silver sulfadiazine cream one percent to Resident #19's left lateral lower leg, left proximal
lower leg, left great toe and left third toe. She used the same pair of gloved hands to apply the silver
sulfadiazine cream to all the areas and did not wash her hands and apply new gloves between each
wound. She then applied a four by four dressing to the left lower leg wounds and wrapped the area with
gauze. She then applied a four by four dressing to her left great toe and taped the area. She wrapped
Resident #19's left leg with an ace wrap per order. RN #600 then removed her gloves and washed her
hands.
Interview with RN #600 on 12/31/19 at 9:49 A.M. verified she cleansed all Resident #19's wounds at the
same time not washing her hands or applying new gloves in between each wound. She verified she applied
the silver sulfadiazine cream to each wound using the same pair of gloves and did not wash her hands
between each wound. She verified Resident #600's left lower proximal leg wound was being treated with
antibiotics for a MRSA infection per the culture report. She verified not washing her hands between each
wound caused increased potential for cross contamination.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 12/31/19 at 10:40 A.M. verified RN #600 should not have cleansed
all of Resident #19's wounds without washing her hands in between each wound. She also verified RN
#600 should not have applied silver sulfadiazine cream to each of the wounds using the same pair of gloves
and not washing her hands between each wound. She verified Resident #19 had MRSA in her left lower
proximal leg wound and was receiving antibiotic therapy per the wound clinic recommendations. She
verified not washing her hands and changing gloves between each wound caused increased risk of cross
contamination.
Review of facility policy, Dressing, Dry/ Clean that was revised August 2011 revealed the purpose was to
provide guidelines for the application of a dry, clean dressing. The policy did not specify to not cleanse two
or more wounds at the same time without performing hand hygiene between each wound or did not specify
in the policy not to apply the same cream or treatment to two or more wounds without performing hand
hygiene between application of the treatment. The policy did not specify to complete wound care separately
for each area when performing dressing changes.
