F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. 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 records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to notify physicians of increased and decreased Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels and failed to assess residents for hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), for six of eight residents reviewed (Residents R34, R69, R70, R97, R106 and R134). Residents Affected - Some Findings include: 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. Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when blood glucose is lower than normal, usually below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). If left untreated, hypoglycemia may lead to weakness, confusion, unconsciousness, arrhythmias and even death. 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 facility policy Blood Glucose Point of Care Testing reviewed 6/26/23, indicated the facility would provide resident centered care that meets the psychosocial, physical, and emotional needs and concerns of the resident. Step G of the procedure indicated to record the results and contact the provider per physician ' s orders if out of range. Review of the facility policy Notification of Change in Condition reviewed 6/26/23, indicated the facility must inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician and the resident's representative when there is a change requiring such notification. The attending practitioner is promptly notified of significant changes in condition, and the medical record must reflect the notification, response, and interventions implemented to address the resident's condition. Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R34 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included diabetes, cerebral palsy (group of disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, balance, and posture), and high blood pressure. Review of Resident R34's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) dated 12/12/23, indicated the diagnoses remain current.
