sliding scale insulin coverage. The order listed Humalog and provided the following additional parameters
per sliding scale: zero to 180 no insulin; 181 to 200 inject two units; 201 to 250 inject four units; 251 to 300
inject six units; 301 to 350 inject eight units; 351 to 400 inject 10 units; and above four units call the provider

10:10 A.M. with a result of 174. The Documentation Survey Report form dated 03/21/25 at 9:04 A.M.

placed Resident #150's tray on her overbed table for the breakfast meal but did not wake the resident up.
LPN #828 revealed she probably completed the BGT after the breakfast meal on 03/21/25 because the
resident either woke up early or the resident's family woke up the resident and the resident started eating
the breakfast meal and the staff did not realize it. LPN #828 confirmed she completed the BGT as soon as
she realized the resident was eating the breakfast meal.

only by licensed nursing, medical, pharmacy or other personnel authored by state laws and regulations to
administer medications. Medications were administered in accordance with written orders of the prescriber.
