review of facility policies, facility provided documents, clinical records and staff interview, it was determined
that the facility failed to make certain a resident was free from abuse, neglect or misappropriation of
property for two of three residents reviewed (Resident R190 and R400).
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Abuse, Neglect and Misappropriation dated 4/18/24, with a previous review date

Level of Harm - Minimal 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, failed to assess residents for
hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), for three of six residents
reviewed (Residents R6, R20, and R72), and failed to document results accurately in blood glucose
summary and medication administration record for three of five residents (Residents R52, R69, and R91).
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 4/18/24, indicated the importance
of ongoing glucose monitoring is necessary to detect extremes of high and low blood glucose levels to
evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
Review of the facility policy Notification of Change in Condition reviewed 4/18/24, revealed the facility is
required to have processed in place for notifications of acute changes such as cardio/respiratory failure,
choking, and poor glycemic control, falls, onset of delirium, and falls with head injuries or fractures. 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 facility policy Clinical Documentation Standards reviewed 4/18/24, indicated nurses will follow
basic standard of practice for documentation including, but not limited to providing a timely and accurate
account of resident information in the medical record. Document accurately and truthfully to the best of
his/her knowledge. Document the status of the resident including changes.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident R6 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included diabetes, heart failure (progressive heart disease that affects pumping

interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to make certain medications were administered as
ordered by the physician for two of five residents (Residents R52 and R69) and failed to make certain that
residents are free of significant medication errors for two of three residents observed (Resident R301, and

(iv) the right dose, (v) the right route.
A review of the manufacturers guideline for glargine insulin (Lantus - long-acting type of insulin that works
slowly, over about 24 hours) Solostar prefilled pen, November 2000, specified to perform a safety test
before each injection. Select a dose of two units, hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards, gently tap
the reservoir to remove air bubbles, press the injection button all the way in and check if insulin comes out
of the needle tip.
A review of the manufacturers guideline for a fast-acting insulin (Novolog/Humalog - starts to work about 15
minutes after injection, peaks in about 1 hour, and keeps working for two to four hours) Flextouch prefilled
pen indicated priming the pen by turning the dose selector to select two units, hold the pen with the tip
facing upwards, gently tap the top of the reservoir to remove air bubbles, press the dose button until the
dose counter returns to zero, a drop of insulin should be seen at the needle tip.
A review of the clinical record indicated that Resident R52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included diabetes, bilateral below knee amputations, chronic kidney disease (The kidneys
filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, as the kidneys fail they no longer filter waste).

Lispro flex pen (short-acting insulin) inject 3 units subcutaneously with meals, hold if blood sugar is less
than 120.
A review of the medication administration record (MAR) dated November 2024 indicated that Resident R52
received insulin on 11/1/24, 11/12/24, and 11/13/24 against order to hold if blood sugar is less than 120.
A review of the clinical record, blood glucose summary, showed that on 11/1/24 at 8:01 a.m., BS was 81,
11/12/24 at 7:56 a.m , BS was 90, and on 11/13/24 at 7:36 a.m , BS was 92.
