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
assess, document, and notify physicians of increased and decreased Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels
for two of five residents reviewed (Residents R20 and R24).
Residents Affected - Few
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 facility policy Nursing Care of the Diabetic Resident reviewed 12/20/24, indicated the facility will
recognize, assist, and document the treatment of complications commonly associated with diabetes.
Documentation should reflect the carefully assessed diabetic resident and include vital signs, level of
consciousness, assessment of the skin, emotional/mood changes, and pain/discomfort. Document results
of any fingerstick blood glucose monitoring, interventions to stabilize blood glucose levels, and notification
to physician.
Review of facility policy Notification of Condition Change: Physician reviewed 12/20/24, indicated licensed
professional nurses are responsible to provide timely and complete communication to physicians when
there is a change in a resident ' s condition. Document assessment data, attempted or actual
correspondence with physician, and physician ' s response in the medical record.
Review of facility Hypoglycemic Protocol reviewed 12/20/24, indicated if resident ' s blood glucose is less
than 70 administer rapidly absorbed simple carbohydrate such as four ounces (oz) of juice, five or six oz of
regular soda, or tube of glucose gel. Repeat blood glucose in 10-15 minutes and repeat protocol if still less
than 70. If resident is symptomatic, notify physician.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R20 was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included diabetes, dementia (group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social
abilities), and high blood pressure.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that
residents' clinical records were complete and accurately documented for one of six residents reviewed
(Resident R37).
Findings:
The Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) User's Manual, which provides
instructions and guidelines for completing required Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments (mandated
assessments of a resident's abilities and care needs), dated October 2019, indicated that a BIMS (Brief
Interview of Mental Status) is a brief screener that aids in detecting cognitive impairment. Scores from a
BIMS assessment suggests the following distributions:
13 - 15: cognitively intact
8 - 12: moderately impaired
0 - 7: severe impairment
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
that included repeated falls, diabetes, and low blood pressure.
Review of Resident R37' s Minimum Data Set (MDS - a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) dated 2/10/25, indicated the diagnoses remain current.
Review of the MDS dated [DATE], Section C - Cognitive Patterns, Question C0500 BIMS Summary Score
indicated Resident R37 BIMS score was 15. Review of the MDS dated [DATE], Question C0500 BIMS
Summary Score indicated Resident R37 BIMS score was 12. Review of the MDS dated [DATE], Question
C0500 BIMS Summary Score indicated Resident R37 BIMS score was 10.

On 11/19/24, Palliative Care Note - Follow-Up note indicated Resident R37 ' s BIMS Score was 15.
On 12/10/24, Palliative Care Note - Follow-Up note indicated Resident 37 ' s BIMS Score was 15.
On 1/4/25, Palliative Care Note - Follow-Up note indicated Resident R37 ' s BIMS Score was 15.
On 2/18/25, Palliative Care Note - Follow-Up note indicated Resident R37 ' s BIMS Score was 15.
On 3/11/25, Palliative Care Note - Follow- Up note indicated Resident R37 ' s BIMS Score was 15.
During an interview on 3/13/25, at 10:00 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the facility failed to
ensure documentation was accurate and complete for Resident R37. The DON stated the facility did not
have a policy specific for documentation in the clinical records.
