Weights will be recorded in the electronic health record.
Review of the facility policy Diabetic Protocol dated 1/10/25, indicated the provider and staff will work
together to give appropriate treatment to manage diabetes (a metabolic disorder in which the body has high
sugar levels for prolonged periods of time). The provider will follow up on any acute episodes associated
with a significant blood glucose level changes and deterioration. The provider will order desired parameters
for monitoring and reporting information related to diabetes or blood sugar management. The staff will
incorporate such parameters into the Medication Administration Record and care plan.
Review of facility policy Hypoglycemia indicated when acute hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) is
suspected, assess mental status (alert, uncooperative, or unconscious) and use glucometer to determine
the resident's blood sugar level. A blood glucose of 70 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) or less may indicate
the need for intervention. If there are no provider orders for specific treatment do the following:
- If the resident is conscious and treatment is indicated, give 1 tube of dextrose gel (15 grams)
- After 15 minutes, repeat blood sugar and if still under 70 mg/dL, repeat glucose gel
- After 15 minutes, repeat blood sugar. If above 70 mg/dL, give a snack of a protein and a carbohydrate (ex.
1/2 a sandwich with bread and a protein or crackers and a protein). Monitor until stable.
Once acute hypoglycemia has resolved, notify the provider and document in resident's medical record.
Review of the facility's Registered Nurse (RN) job description indicated staff will accurately administer
medication and treatment to residents per physician orders and maintain comprehensive documentation on
required charting, medication/treatment administration, incidents/accidents, physician orders,
admission/transfer/discharge, weights/vitals, etc.
