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, 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.

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, manufacturers recommendations,resident interviews, clinical records, and staff 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 R24.) Residents Affected - Some Findings include: A review of facility policy Medication Administration dated 8/21/23, and 4/18/24, indicated facility staff should comply with facility policy to provide guidance of general medication administration to be provided by personnel recognized as legally able to administer medications only as prescribed by the provider. Observe the five rights in giving medication: (i) the right resident, (ii) the right time, (iii) the right medicine, (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). A review of a physician order dated 10/4/24, indicated to check blood sugar (BS) before meals and give 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.
