F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to develop a comprehensive pressure ulcer plan of care. This affected one (Resident #20) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 38. Findings include: Review of Resident #20's medical record revealed a 05/09/23 admission with diagnoses including depression, Alzheimer's disease, insomnia, dementia, hypothyroidism, Vitamin D deficiency, hyperlipidemia, anxiety, paralysis of vocal cords and larynx bilaterally, acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, osteoarthritis of left shoulder, cervical disc disorder with myelopathy, low back pain, fibromyalgia, post laminectomy syndrome, long term use of opiate, tracheostomy status, right artificial hip, bilateral artificial knees, and bursitis of left shoulder. Physician orders on admission dated 05/09/23 included a pressure reduction mattress to bed, 05/09/23 cleanse right buttock with normal saline apply collagen particles and foam dressing Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, encourage resident to turn and reposition. Review of a wound provider consult revealed a mistake a 05/24/23 Stage III pressure ulcer to the right pelvis, coccyx measuring 1.0 cm x 0.3 cm x 0.1 cm with moderate serous drainage was new when it was the same area the resident was admitted with. The facility did not develop a comprehensive pressure ulcer plan of care when the resident was admitted with an order for a dressing to the buttock. Interview on 06/26/23 at 6:02 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) #93 verified the resident was admitted with a pressure ulcer. The facility did not develop a comprehensive pressure ulcer assessment when the resident was admitted with a Stage III pressure ulcer. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00143538. Page 1 of 35 366241 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0657 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals. Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident's fall plan of care was revised with new intervention. This affected one (Resident #36) of three residents reviewed for falls. The census was 38. Findings include: Review of Resident #36's medical record revealed a 04/28/23 admission with diagnoses including moderate protein calorie malnutrition, wedge compression fracture of thoracic vertebrae, dementia, Alzheimer's, Vitamin D deficiency, diverticuli of intestines, depression, anemia, hypertension, pneumonia, muscle weakness, dysphagia, irritable bowel syndrome, osteoarthritis, and abnormal findings in lung field. Review of the resident's 04/28/23 Morse Fall Risk scale revealed the resident was weak, and over estimates ability/limits and utilizes a wheelchair. Review of the 05/05/23 admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) revealed the resident was severely impaired for daily decision making, limited assist of two for bed mobility, extensive assist of two for transfers, one person physical assist for walking, extensive assist of two for dressing, toilet use and limited assist of one for personal hygiene. The resident had a fall with fracture prior to admission. Review of a risk for falls plan of care initiated 05/09/23 revealed the resident had risk of falls related to cognition, Alzheimer's disease, and bladder incontinence. Review of a post fall evaluation dated 05/25/23 at 10:54 A.M., included a fall was not witnessed. Fall occurred in the hallway. The resident stated she stood up to get the lady with the shovel. There was no apparent injury. The nurse heard resident yelling for help, when looking down the hallway, the resident was noticed to be sitting on the floor on her buttocks next to the 400 hall emergency exit door in front of her wheelchair with the wheels locked facing the exit door. #36 had her slippers on. The intervention was resident needs frequent monitoring and visual checks. The resident should be kept in common area so as to monitor activity. Review of the Fall plan of care revealed the plan of care was not updated with the intervention for frequent monitoring and visual checks, including resident should be kept in common area so as to monitor activity. Review of the resident's medical record revealed on 07/02/23 at 7:32 P.M. the resident had a fall from her recliner. The resident was not kept in the common area to monitor activity per the 05/25/23 post fall intervention. Interview on 07/03/23 at 7:34 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) #93 verified the fall plan of care was not updated post 05/23/23 fall to keep the resident in the common area. The DON included there was a binder at the nurse station with the updated fall interventions for the State Tested Nurse Aides. The DON verified the intervention to keep in the common area was not updated in the binder. This deficiency is an incidental finding to Complaint Number OH00143538. 366241 Page 2 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, review of Fire Department emergency response documentation, emergency room documentation, review of the facility policy titled Medical Emergencies, and interviews with residents, staff, and family, the facility failed to provide timely care and services for the monitoring and treatment of sign and symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) for Resident #38, who had a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy with serious life-threatening harm on 06/08/23 at approximately 11:30 P.M. when State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #131 and STNA #132 noted Resident #38 was cold and clammy when assisting him to bed but failed to immediately report this change in condition to the nurse until approximately two hours and 45 minutes later (around 2:15 A.M.). The resident was then discovered by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #94 on 06/09/23 at 2:17 A.M. unresponsive with vomit on his bed and a blood sugar of 32 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) (per the Centers for Disease Control, a blood sugar below 70 mg/dl is considered hypoglycemic). Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was notified and Resident #38 was transferred to the emergency room where he was intubated, placed on a ventilator, treated for aspiration pneumonia and a myocardial infarction (MI), likely due to the hypoglycemia. The resident remained hospitalized for 12 days. This affected one resident (#38) of three residents reviewed for change in condition. The facility census was 38. Residents Affected - Few On 06/28/23 at 5:19 P.M., the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) #93 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 06/08/23 at approximately 11:30 P.M. when care and treatment was delayed for Resident #38 after direct care staff (STNA #131 and #132) failed to notify Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #94 when the resident presented with an acute change in condition; being cold and clammy indicative of hypoglycemia. The change in condition was not reported to the resident's nurse until 06/09/23 at approximately 2:15 A.M. at which time the resident was found to be unresponsive with a blood sugar of 32 mg/dl (hypoglycemic). The resident required emergency medical services and hospitalization for treatment as a result of the incident. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 06/29/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On 06/15/23 at approximately 10:30 A.M. the Director of Nursing / Infection Preventionist (DON/IP), educated staff working in facility on the importance of notifying nurse immediately of any change in condition for residents. • On 06/16/23 at 12:00 P.M. the facility conducted a Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee meeting with the Medical Director, DON/IP, Administrator, Minimum Data Set Registered Nurse (MDS/RN), and Social Service Designee (SSD). The meeting included: Identifying the problem of nurse aide failing to inform nurse of resident showing signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia resulting in resident sent to emergency room. 366241 Page 3 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Care conference to be scheduled upon Resident #38's return to facility. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Education provided to staff immediately on importance of notifying nurse on any change of condition Residents Affected - Few Pharmacy consulted per request of family for alternatives in monitoring blood sugars. identified by nurse aides. • On 06/27/23 at 8:00 P.M. the DON/IP, completed a Medication Error Report upon discovery of miscalculated dose of insulin administered on 06/08/23 at 9:30 P.M. for Resident #38. The nurse who committed the error was notified in person at facility of the error by DON/IP at 8:05 P.M. Education for this nurse and all other nurses related to medication administration/medication errors was completed on 06/28/23 and 06/29/23. • On 06/28/23 at 12:00 P.M. facility Administrator and DON had care conference with Resident #38's daughter, stepfather, ombudsman and ombudsman assistant to notify of the medication error and discuss plan of care moving forward. • On 06/28/23 at 6:00 P.M. the Medical Director provided standing orders and recommendations for updating the facility current Insulin Shock / Hypoglycemia policy and procedure. The facility indicated staff training would be completed on the updated policy on 06/28/23 and 06/29/23. • On 06/28/23 from 8:00 P.M. to 06/29/23 at 3:00 P.M. staff education was provided for all staff, including 11 licensed nurses, 21 STNAs, six laundry staff, five housekeeping staff, nine dietary staff, 10 administrative staff, five activity staff, two maintenance staff, four drivers/transportation and four therapy staff. Education included: New information in point click care under the care profile for each resident who was receiving insulin to monitor for signs and symptoms. Resident #38 had his care profile updated to labile diabetic and monitor for signs and symptoms. Additionally, monitoring for signs and symptoms was added to electronic treatment administration record (ETAR) for nurses to sign off every (q) shift. • 366241 Page 4 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety On 06/28/23, the DON and Administrator updated the facility Insulin Shock / Hypoglycemia policy and procedure based on the Medical Director's recommendations and standing orders. Additionally, a new policy for insulin administration per scale with formula was created. Furthermore, nursing staff were educated on the location of Glucagon vials for injection in emergency crash cart and that two would always be available. Residents Affected - Few • On 06/28/23, the facility implemented and educated all staff on the Early Warning Report form to be utilized when reporting signs and symptoms as an added back up to verbal notification and provide record of the initial verbal notification. These reports would be audited daily by DON/IP, CO-DON, and or RN Desk Nurse through review of form, progress notes and confirmation with nurse it was reported to. Additionally, floor nurses would review the importance of reporting signs and symptoms with nurse aides and other staff present during morning stand up meetings. The Risk Management Team would also audit nurse aides through interviews of six different nurse aides weekly for one month. Furthermore, the audit would also include review Early Warning Report forms weekly for one month to ensure staff were reporting signs and symptoms to nurses timely and accurately beginning in the week of July 1, 2023. The DON/IP completed one and one training of all licensed nursing staff personnel on the importance of adequate monitoring related to new protocol and procedures according to updated Insulin Shock / Hypoglycemia. • On 06/29/23 at 10:00 A.M. the DON/IP spoke with pharmacy to confirm and implement that the facility would now keep two vials of Glucagon in the crash cart for quicker response in a medical emergency. • On 06/29/23 at 1:25 P.M. the DON/IP completed an audit for Resident #10, who also received insulin utilizing formula. The audit reviewed May and June 2023 to ensure the resident was administered the correct dose of insulin if needed and/or to ensure the dose of insulin administered was calculated correctly. • On 06/29/23 the facility implemented a plan to monitor (beginning 07/01/23) for ongoing compliance of all outlined corrections weekly for two months and then monthly on a continuing basis thereafter. The monitoring would specifically audit that the Glucagon vials were in the emergency crash cart in the training center through direct visual inspection of the crash cart. Pharmacy would also complete their own audit of Glucagon vials being present in emergency crash cart during their normal monthly visits. Audits would be completed by the Risk Management Team which consists of MDS RN, Administrator, DON/IP and CO-DON. Additionally, the DON/IP, CO-DON & MDS RN would audit Resident #10 and #38 and any other resident who was admitted in the future for actual bloods sugar amounts and correct dose of insulin being administered through direct observation of nurse when taken and administered.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety monitoring would also be accomplished through chart review and direct observation of the electronic medication administration record (EMAR) and electronic treatment administration record (ETAR). The monitoring would also include auditing signs and symptoms section of the electronic treatment administration record (ETAR) that nurses were now signing every shift. This monitoring would occur three times a week with a different nurse each time for one month beginning 07/01/23 and then weekly for two months thereafter. Residents Affected - Few • All corrective actions outlined above would be reviewed in QAPI for effectiveness and compliance at next scheduled meeting in July 2023. • Interviews 06/30/23 between 1:22 P.M. and 1:53 P.M. with STNA's #97, #101, and #108 revealed they had been educated on the signs and symptoms of hyper and hypoglycemia. They were knowledgeable, able to verbalize symptoms and were aware they were to report signs and symptoms to the nurse. • Interviews 06/30/23 between 1:43 P.M. and 2:51 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurses #88, #94 and Registered Nurse #92 verified the nurses were knowledgeable and able to verbalize signs and symptoms of hypo and hyperglycemia. The nurses were aware of the treatment for hyper and hypoglycemia. Further, they were knowledgeable regarding the new process to store two injectable glucagon in the crash cart and two in the emergency box. The new policy to count weekly the amount of available Glucagon injectables in the crash cart weekly. In addition, the nurses were educated to check the dosage of insulin coverage for accuracy. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 06/29/23, the facility remained out of compliance at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility was in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance. Findings include: Review of Resident #38's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility from home on [DATE]. Resident #38 had diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, thoracic thoracolumbar and lumbosacral intervertebral disc disorder, hypercholesterolemia, osteoarthritis, and hyperlipidemia. The resident was discharged to the hospital on [DATE] and was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with additional diagnoses that included encephalopathy, acute respiratory failure, Type 1 diabetes mellitus (body does not make insulin), pneumonia, seizures, abnormal plasma proteins, altered mental state, convulsions, and hyperglycemia. Record review of the admission Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #38 was independent for daily decision with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15. The assessment revealed the resident was able to understand others and be understood, he had no behaviors. Resident #38 required limited assistive of two staff for bed ability, extensive assistant of two staff to transfer, assist of two staff to walk in room, limited assistance of one staff to walk in corridor, extensive assistive of two staff for dressing, extensive assistive of one 366241 Page 6 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few staff for eating, limited assist of one staff for toilet and personal hygiene. The resident had a loss of liquids and solids from mouth when eating or drinking and coughing or choking during meals and when taking medications. The resident utilized the wheelchair. Resident #38 was occasionally incontinent of urine and always incontinent of stool. The assessment noted the resident received insulin injections seven day a week. Resident #38's admission physician orders included blood sugar monitoring four times a day without (insulin) coverage for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Medication orders included NovoLog Mix 70/30 subcutaneous suspension (70-30) (a long-acting insulin) 100 Units/milliliter, inject 20 unit subcutaneously in the morning for diabetes and inject 12 unit subcutaneously in the evening for diabetes. This medication was ordered to be given routinely each day. Record review revealed on 06/02/23 Resident #38 required one on one (1:1) staff supervision for all meals for safety due to aspiration risk. Record review revealed from admission [DATE] through 06/05/23) Resident #38's blood sugar levels ranged from 78 mg/dl to 482/dl, generally in the 200 mg/dl to 350 mg/dl range. On 06/05/23 Medical Director (MD) #134 became the physician of record for Resident #38. A new order was received on this date for Novolog (insulin) coverage (a rapid acting insulin) via a sliding scale four times a day for blood sugars using a formula for blood glucose levels greater than 150. For blood glucose levels above 150, staff would divide the result by 30 and minus 3 to determine the number of Novolog units to administer subcutaneously. The sliding scale coverage was to be used following blood glucose monitoring daily at 6:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., 4:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. Review of the medical record revealed Medical Director (MD) #134 visited and met the resident for the first time on 06/08/23 at approximately 3:40 P.M. Medical Director #134 wrote orders to fax blood sugar results every shift until 06/12/23, to increase the morning dose of routine NovoLog Mix 70/30 subcutaneous suspension (70-30) 100 units/ML (Insulin Aspart Protamine & Aspart (Human)) to 30 units subcutaneously in the morning for diabetes (an increase of 10 units), inject 10 units subcutaneously in the afternoon for diabetes (added the new afternoon dose) and inject 12 units subcutaneously in the evening for diabetes (no change in dosage). Review of the 06/08/23 physician progress note included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had been stable despite the presence of rhonchi on exam at this time. Diabetes mellitus has been sub-optimally controlled, and medications would be adjusted. The resident had significant expressive dysphasia however, conversation could be completed satisfactorily. Review of the meal intake record revealed Resident #38 did not eat breakfast on 06/08/23 and ate 76-100 percent for both lunch and supper. Review of the medication administration record (MAR) revealed on 06/08/23 the resident's 4:00 P.M. blood sugar was 204 and the resident was administered four units of insulin. The 10:00 P.M. blood sugar was 290 and the resident was administered 10 units Novolog insulin, which was an error as the resident should have been administered seven units. Review of Resident #38's nurse's notes revealed on 06/09/23 a 5:44 A.M. late entry note entered by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #94 revealed at 2:17 A.M. STNA #131 reported to this nurse the resident was cold and clammy. Upon entering resident's room, the resident was breathing heavily with vomit 366241 Page 7 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few on right side of bed. When this nurse called out resident's name, the resident did not respond. The LPN walked closer to resident's bedside called out again with no response. Began sternal rubs with no response. This nurse ran to cart and grabbed blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter and glucometer. Blood pressure was 122/77 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg), temperature was 98.0 degrees Fahrenheit, respirations 22 per minute, pulse 94 beats per minute, oxygen saturation 97 percent on room air. Blood glucose monitoring was 32 mg/dl . Glucagon gel administered and blood glucose increased to 37 mg/dl. 911 called at 2:20 A.M. to transport resident to emergency room for evaluation and treatment. This nurse stayed with resident at bedside until emergency medical technicians (EMT) arrived at 2:33 A.M. EMT immediately started an intravenous line and dextrose was administered. The resident's blood glucose increased to 302 mg/dl. The LPN assisted EMT staff to get resident onto the gurney. Resident left the building with the Fire Department at 2:47 A.M. Review of the Fire Department (EMT) record for this incident revealed they received the call at 2:21 A.M., arrived at 2:29 A.M. and found the resident unresponsive. EMTs placed an intravenous line and administered 25 grams of glucose intravenously. At 2:40 A.M. the resident's blood sugar was 302. A non-rebreather mask was placed at 12 liters of oxygen per minute. Response improved but the resident was still unresponsive. Skin was clammy and diaphoretic. The resident was pale. Pupils three millimeters (mm) and sluggish. Departed facility at 2:41 A.M., arrived at the emergency room 2:46 A.M. and transferred to emergency room cart 2:48 A.M. Review of the Emergency Department documentation revealed on 06/09/23 at 2:50 A.M. Resident #38 was brought in with a 95% oxygen saturation, and respirations of 17 breaths per minute. The resident was intubated and placed on a ventilator by 3:00 A.M. An electrocardiogram revealed the resident likely has non-ST elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) secondary to hypoglycemia. A CT scan of lungs revealed apparent bilateral infiltrates (secondary to possible aspiration pneumonia). The resident was monitored in the emergency room by a critical care nurse until 6:00 P.M. 06/09/23 when a bed opened, and he was then transferred to a larger medical center. The resident remained stable although critical requiring intubation and central line placement. Diagnoses included altered mental status and possible aspiration pneumonia. Resident #38 was discharged back to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including change in mental status, elevated troponin levels, hyperglycemia, pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, and seizure. Additional diagnoses included provoked seizure, uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus with hypoglycemia. Interview on 06/27/23 at 2:42 P.M. with DON #93 revealed it was discovered STNA #131 and #132 reported Resident #38 was cool and clammy around 11:30 P.M. when they put him to bed the night of 06/08/23. STNA #131 reportedly asked STNA #132 if the resident was diabetic and she said no. Hours later in conversation, STNA #131 told the nurse the resident was cold and clammy when they put him to bed which prompted the nurse to go check him. Upon checking on the resident, he was found unresponsive. STNA #132 was suspended 06/09/23 and terminated 06/12/23 for failure to report in part because she did not seem to understand the seriousness of not reporting a change in condition when the resident was cold and clammy. Interview on 06/27/23 at 5:52 P.M. with RN #96 revealed she was on duty 06/08/23 from 6:00 P.M. until 10:00 P.M. Resident #38 was in the lounge watching television and she asked him if he had a snack and he said yes. RN #96 revealed Resident #38 was usually the last resident to bed. The RN stated she obtained the resident's blood sugar at 9:30 P.M. and it was 290 mg/dl and she administered the 366241 Page 8 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few sliding scale insulin coverage of 10 units of Novolog insulin. At the time of the interview, RN #96 was unaware she had not administered the correct dose of insulin and had given the resident three units of insulin too much. The RN concluded with the formula blood sugar divided by 30 minus three she must not have subtracted the three units. Interview on 06/27/23 at 6:15 P.M. with LPN #94 revealed she had a conversation with Resident #38 on the evening of 06/08/23. The resident was eating a snack about 11:00 P.M. in the front television area. She knew he had a drink but was unsure what the snack was. LPN #94 reported STNA's #131 and #132 said that they took the resident back to his room around 11:30 P.M. STNA #131 told LPN #94 in conversation after 2:00 A.M. that Resident #38 was cold and clammy when they put him to bed. STNA #131 said she asked STNA #132 if the resident was diabetic, and the STNA said no. LPN #94 stated she had checked on the resident through the night from the doorway and he appeared to be sleeping, so she did not turn on the light in the room. She could not tell if the resident was cold and clammy during her observations. After STNA #131 reported to her the resident had been cold and clammy when assisted to bed, she immediately went back to check him (around 2:15 A.M.), and she heard gurgling respirations from the door. When she turned on the light in the room, she noted the resident had vomited on his bed. She yelled his name twice and received no response. She had no response from a sternal rub. LPN #94 put on the call light, and no one came. She ran out and got equipment. STNA #131 saw her and came back to the room. STNA #131 had her phone and the LPN stated she told the STNA to call 911 and then proceeded to try to check the resident's blood (glucose) sugar. LPN #94 had a hard time getting blood for the blood sugar. The resident's blood sugar was low at 32 mg/dl. The LPN stated she ran out of the resident's room and found glucagon gel. She stated it was all she could find. She could not find injectable glucagon. She squirted the gel in the resident's cheek and massaged it. She knew she was not to give it orally when a resident was unconscious, but she didn't know what else to do to help him. The gel got Resident #38's blood sugar up to 37 mg/dl. The squad came and started an intravenous (IV) and pushed glucose IV. His blood sugar was 300 plus after they administered the IV glucose. When EMT staff got the resident on the gurney, he started having seizure like activity and was still not responding. The resident was transferred to the hospital. The LPN contacted the resident's daughter later and was told the resident was intubated, and they were waiting to transfer him to another hospital when a bed opened. LPN #94 said if the STNA staff had told her the resident was cold and clammy at the time they put him to bed, she would have assessed him and intervened at that time. LPN #94 revealed the whole situation could have been avoided if she was told he was having symptoms when the staff assisted him to bed at 11:30 P.M. Interview on 06/28/23 at 2:38 P.M. with DON #93 verified STNA #131 and #132 did not report timely a change in Resident #38's condition. Further interview verified the facility failed to investigate to determine if there were any other reasons why the resident's blood glucose level would have dropped so low. The facility had not investigated whether the resident was administered the correct amounts of insulin prior to the incident. The facility did not complete an investigation to determine if the appropriate interventions were available and provided during the emergency, including the availability of injectable glucagon. On 06/28/23 at 2:23 P.M. Resident #38 was observed sitting in his wheelchair. The resident was alert and his speech was slow but comprehensible. The resident indicated the night he went into the hospital, he did not remember if he felt ill. He said he remembered feeling tired. Telephone interview on 06/28/23 at 4:55 P.M. with MD #134 revealed he just took over the care of Resident #38 and was adjusting his insulin to better control the resident's blood sugars. The MD did not think giving three extra units of Novolog insulin would drop a blood sugar to 32 mg/dl. He 366241 Page 9 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
F 0684 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety questioned whether there was an infection or some other process in play. He indicated the nursing home doesn't have intravenous glucose on hand, they leave it up to the emergency team. However, they should have the glucagon for injection for emergencies. He indicated he would work with the facility to ensure the nurses have the medication needed on hand and staff have the proper education to alert the nurses of change. There was a Glucagon 1 mg in the emergency kit. It was dated 05/24/23. So, it should have been there when the nurse looked that night. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 06/28/23 at 5:55 P.M. with LPN #89 revealed the medication room was to have two injectable Glucagon, but stated there was a problem keeping them stocked. She indicated on 05/24/23 she had a resident whose blood glucose dropped to 49 mg/dl on one hand and 43 mg/dl on the other hand.

The STNA stated she asked the other aide if the resident was diabetic, and she said no. The resident did not appear to be sweating. She stated if he wasn't she wouldn't have even asked the other aide if he was diabetic and would have reported the situation to the nurse. After everything settled down (the residents were all in bed, etc), she stated staff were talking about situations and things learned over the years. She said she brought up about a resident who was cold and sweating a lot and he was having a diabetic reaction and that made her think of Resident #38 and how cold he was when he was assisted to bed. The STNA said she asked the other aide if he was diabetic, and she said no. The STNA revealed the nurse then looked at her and said, yes, he was a diabetic and ran back there (to his room) and found him not responding. When the STNA got there, he had thrown up on his left shoulder. The STNA stated she was only an aide; she had seen diabetic reactions from her experience but in nurse aide training they really do not go into the signs and symptoms of diabetes. 366241 Page 10 of 35 366241 07/07/2023 Steubenville Country Club Manor 575 Lovers Lane Steubenville, OH 43953
