Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
notify the physician of increased Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels as ordered for one of three
residents (Resident R82) and obtain physician orders for a resident's wound for one of three residents
(Resident R260).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of facility policy Physician Orders- NU 2.18 dated 4/8/24, indicated physician orders are followed in
accordance with good nursing principles and practices and are transcribed and carried out by persons
legally authorized to do so. It was indicated treatments may not be administered to the resident without the
written approval from the attending physician.
Review of facility policy Nursing Services - NU 2.15 dated 4/8/24, indicated nursing care includes the
provision of all prescribed medications and treatments, and nursing care will be provided within the scope
of practice and in accordance with nursing standards of care.
Review of facility policy Physician Notification - NU 2.17 dated 4/8/24, indicated upon identification of a
resident who has clinical changes, a change in condition, or abnormal lab values, a licensed nurse will
perform appropriate clinical observations and data collection and report to the physician as indicated.
The Centers for Disease Control defines diabetes as: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic (long-lasting) health
condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into
sugar (also called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals
your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body's cells for use
as energy. If you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it
makes as well as it should. When there isn't enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much
blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart
disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. People with Diabetes Mellitus may be prescribed injectable insulin
to assist in maintaining acceptable levels of CBG's. Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose, occurs when
there is too much sugar in the blood. This happens when your body has too little insulin. Hyperglycemia is
blood glucose greater than 125 mg/dL while fasting (not eating for at least eight hours, or a blood glucose
greater than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after eating. If you have hyperglycemia and it's untreated for long
periods of time, you can damage your nerves, blood vessels, tissues and organs. Damage to blood vessels
can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke, and nerve damage may also lead to eye damage, kidney
damage and non-healing wounds.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R82 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R82's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 3/13/24,
indicated diagnoses of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and overactive bladder.
Review a physician order dated 12/13/23, indicated to check Resident R82's CBG in the morning, call
physician if result is less than 60 mg/dL or greater than 400 mg/dL.
