resident assessment accurately reflected the resident status for one of 19 residents reviewed (Resident
36).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Review of Resident 36's clinical record revealed diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus (a metabolic
disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged periods of time), psychosis (a mental
disorder when a person has trouble telling the difference between what's real and what's not), and muscle
weakness.
Review of Resident 36's Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set - an assessment tool to review all care areas
specific to the resident such as a resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial needs) with ARD
(assessment reference date- last day of the assessment period) of May 3, 2024, revealed it was coded that
the Resident received one insulin injection in the past 7 days and that an insulin order had changed in the

accurate related to insulin use and GDR.
