F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Change of Condition Notification, last reviewed on 4/4/2025 for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) by failing to notify Medical Doctor 1 (MD 1) when on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m., Resident 1 who had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM - a disease that occurs when your blood sugar [BS] is too high), had a change of condition (COC - a major decline in a resident's status). Resident 1 complained of nausea (a feeling of sickness in the stomach that can be accompanied by an urge to vomit), had one episode of vomiting, a documented blood sugar of 382 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl - unit of measurement) obtained by Licensed Vocational Nurse 1(LVN 1), and had a physician's order dated 7/15/2025, instructing staff to notify the MD if the BS is greater than 350 mg/dl. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 being found unresponsive (not reacting or responding to touch, sounds or verbal commands) on 7/19/2025 at 7:50 a.m. and subsequently died at the facility on 7/19/2025 at 8:05 a.m. On 8/7/2025 at 1:31 p.m., while onsite at the facility, the State Survey Agency (SSA) called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ - a situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) in the presence of the Administrator (ADM) and Registered Nurse (RN) 1 due to the facility's failure to notify MD 1 regarding Resident 1's COC on 7/18/2025 during the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift and on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. On 8/9/2025 at 12:54 p.m., the ADM submitted an IJ Removal Plan (a detailed plan that identifies all actions the facility will take to immediately address the IJ findings) for the facility's failure to notify the physician when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. On 8/9/2025 at 3:01 p.m., while onsite at the facility, the SSA verified and confirmed the facility's full implementation of the IJ Removal Plan through observations, interviews, and record reviews, and determined the IJ situation regarding the facility's failure to notify the physician when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. was no longer present. The SSA removed the IJ situation on 8/9/2025 at 3:01 p.m., in the presence of the ADM and LVN 8. The acceptable IJ Removal Plan included the following summarized actions: 1. After the IJ was called on 8/7/2025 at 1:31p.m., regarding not notifying the physician of Resident 1's COC, the facility immediately implemented a corrective process requiring all licensed nurses to notify the physician promptly as ordered. The corrective process will include a physical hand-off report (a process of transferring resident care responsibility and information from one healthcare provider to another), called the Shift-to-Shift COC Report, by the licensed nurses every shift. The hand-off report will include any changes of condition that occurred throughout their shift with confirmation that the incoming nurse received the report. The Shift-to-Shift COC Report is audited by the RN 1 and/or designee (assigned Desk Nurse) on every shift. 2. On 8/7/2025 at 2:30 p.m., 6 p.m., and 11 p.m., 8/8/2025 at 2:45 p.m., and ongoing, the Director of Staff Development (DSD) and/or designee provided in-service (training and educational session provided to facility staff) training to the licensed nurses. The training emphasized the importance of timely physician notification, documenting vital signs (measurements of the body's most basic functions), performing resident assessments and observations during a change of condition, following physician's orders and adhering to the facility's P&P, titled Alert Charting Documentation. During the ongoing in-services provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) and/or designee, all licensed nurses will be re-educated and reminded that Licensed Nurses are able to reach out and contact a physician 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24/7), at any given time whether it is early morning or late evening. 3.

On 8/7/2025 at 6:06 p.m., the Corporate Office responded after the ADM reached out on 8/6/2025 at 2:25 p.m., stating that there was no specific policy regarding the process for following physician orders. The Corporate Office indicated that a new policy would be developed including procedures to address non-compliance specifically outlining the steps to be taken when a physician's order is not followed and revisions will also be made to the facility's existing P&P titled, Change of Condition Notification. 5. On 8/7/2025 at 7:30 p.m., the ADM initially conducted a facility-wide audit using the Change of Condition Alert Audit Tool to identify any residents with a COC and verify whether the physician was notified. The audit tool indicated the resident's name, room number, physician notification status, any discrepancies found, and the licensed nurse responsible for completing the documentation. From 7/31/2025 to 8/7/2025, no other residents were identified as being affected by the alleged deficient practice. 6. On 8/7/2025 at 7:19 pm, the ADM notified the Medical Director regarding the IJs received. The ADM and Medical Director discussed training, competencies, the current P&P, and planned revisions. 7. On 8/8/2025 at 6 p.m., the DON, RN 1, DSD, and Infection Preventionist (IP) communicated to the licensed nurses through text messages the critical importance of timely physician notifications for COCs, including elevated BS levels, nausea, vomiting, or any other significant change. 8. On 8/8/2025 at 6 p.m. and 11:45 p.m., and on 8/9/2025 at 8 a.m., and ongoing, a Licensed Nurse (IP) provided in-service training to the CNAs, emphasizing the importance of identifying COCs in residents. CNAs were instructed to report any unusual or off behaviors such as a resident (Resident 1) requesting water every 20 minutes. All observed or suspected COCs must be reported immediately to the charge nurse, treatment nurse, or RN. 9. On 8/9/2025 at 10:30 a.m., the ADM and DON had given a verbal one-on-one in-service and a corrective action warning to Certified Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1). 10. On 8/9/2025 at 10:15 a.m., the DON conducted a facility-wide audit using the Change of Condition Alert Audit Tool to identify any residents with a COC, and verify whether the physician was notified. The audit tool indicated the resident's name, room number, physician notification status, any discrepancies found, and the licensed nurse responsible for completing the documentation. From 8/7/2025 to 8/9/2025, no other residents were identified as being affected by the alleged deficient practice. 11. All ongoing audits using the Change of Condition Audit Tool will be conducted daily by the DON or designee. In the absence of the DON, the DSD, IP, Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool) Nurse (a licensed nurse who specializes in the MDS process) RN, or another member of the nursing leadership team will be responsible for completing the audit. 12. Licensed nurses who have not received in-service training due to a leave of absence or vacation will be in-serviced by the DON and/or designee prior to the start of their next scheduled shift. The goal is to achieve 100 percent (% - per one hundred) completion of in-service training for all licensed nurses upon their return from leave of absence or vacation. 13. The DON and/or designee will provide ongoing monthly in-service education to all licensed nurses for the next six months to ensure consistent reinforcement of the following: adherence to physician orders, timely physician notification, accurate documentation of vital signs, and thorough assessment of residents.14.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few discrepancies will be immediately addressed and corrected. 16. The DON will emphasize to all licensed nurses the importance of participating in Shift Huddles (a brief, informal, and stand-up meeting, usually lasting 10 to 15 minutes or less, at the beginning of a shift to share important information, discuss resident safety, and align the team for the day ahead) and review clinical communications at the beginning of each shift. Additionally, a new Shift-to-Shift COC Report will be implemented and utilized during shift changes to enhance communication and continuity of care among licensed nurses. 17. Nursing P&P will be compiled into a binder and placed at each nursing station to ensure easy access for all nursing staff. 18. The licensed nurses will complete the Shift-to-Shift COC Report every shift. The hand-off report will include any COCs that occurred during the shift, along with confirmation that the oncoming nurse received and acknowledged the report. The RN and/or designee (assigned desk nurse) will audit the Shift-to-Shift COC Report daily using the COC Audit Tool.

Audit findings will be reported to the ADM and/or designee who will then present and discuss the findings during monthly Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI - a structured data-driven approach to improving healthcare quality and resident outcomes) meetings for three months or until sustained compliance is achieved for further recommendations and follow-up actions. Cross reference to F684. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility originally admitted Resident 1 on 12/3/2021 and readmitted the resident on 5/27/2025 with diagnoses including type 2 DM, hypertension (high blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (a medical condition characterized by elevated levels of lipids [fats] in the bloodstream), and chronic kidney disease (a condition where the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter waste and excess water from the blood). During a review of Resident 1's care plan regarding non-compliance with nursing care and interventions, initiated on 8/6/2022, the care plan includes an intervention to notify the MD of any significant COC. During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P - comprehensive assessment conducted by a healthcare provider that includes gathering a thorough medical history from the resident and performing a physical examination to assess their overall health and identify any potential medical concern), dated 9/13/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that Resident 1 had an intact thought process and required supervision from staff to complete activities of daily living (ADLs - basic, essential tasks for self-care and mobility such as eating, bathing, dressing, transferring and toileting). During a review of Resident 1's Physician's Orders, dated 7/15/2025, the Physician's Order indicated to monitor Resident 1's BS before meals and at bedtime, and to notify the MD if BS is greater than 350 mg/dl or less than 70 mg/dl.

RN 2 stated that three nurses (RN 1, LVN 1, and one unidentified licensed nurse) from the previous shift (11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift) had informed her (RN 2) that everyone (referring to all residents) was fine. RN 2 further stated that on 7/19/2025 at around 7:50 a.m., LVN 2 called and notified her (LVN 2) that Resident 1 was unresponsive. RN 2 stated that upon receiving the call, RN 2 immediately responded and assessed Resident 1, noting that the resident (Resident 1) was cold to the touch. RN 2 stated she (RN 2) was unable to obtain any vital signs, at which point she (RN 2) called 911 (a phone number used to contact emergency services), and initiated chest compressions (using hands to push down hard and fast in a specific way on a resident's chest in order to help blood flow through the heart in an emergency situation). During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/5/2025 at 6:24 a.m., with LVN 1, Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 7/19/2025, Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR - a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) dated 7/2025, and Resident 1's Vital Signs Record dated 7/19/2025 were reviewed. LVN 1 stated that Resident 1's last BS check was conducted on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m., with a high result of 382 mg/dl. LVN 1 stated that on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m., Resident 1 was nauseated and had one episode of vomiting. LVN 1 stated that the MAR indicated the MD (MD 1) should be notified if Resident 1's BS exceeded 350 mg/dl, however, he (LVN 1) did not contact MD 1 because he (LVN 1) assumed notification was only needed if the BS reading was over 400 mg/dl. LVN 1 stated he (LVN 1) did not recheck the elevated BS reading of 382 mg/dl taken at 4 a.m. on 7/19/2025 and stated he (LVN 1) should have rechecked and monitored Resident 1's BS for any changes. LVN 1 stated that there was no documented evidence of Resident 1's vital signs or nursing assessments being completed during Resident 1's COC as it was not done. LVN 1 stated that he (LVN 1) did not notify MD 1 and stated that he (LVN 1) should have contacted MD 1 promptly to obtain orders for Resident 1's nausea, vomiting and elevated BS (382 mg/dl). LVN 1 stated that Resident 1 could have recurring episodes and did not have any prescribed medication for nausea and vomiting. LVN 1 stated that if Resident 1's condition was left unreported and unchecked, Resident 1 could have developed hyperglycemia (a condition in which blood sugar levels are abnormally high), diabetic ketoacidosis (a life-threatening complication of DM) and potentially become unresponsive. During an interview on 8/5/2025 at 9:37 a.m., with MD 1, MD 1 stated that he (MD 1) does not recall being notified on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. regarding Resident 1's COC. MD 1 further stated that, had he been notified, he (MD 1) would have ordered an insulin injection (the method of delivering insulin into the body using a needle or pen), implemented aspiration precaution (steps taken to prevent food, liquids, or vomit from accidentally entering the lungs), and initiated hydration (process of replacing water in the body) measures, depending on Resident 1's vital signs. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/5/2025 at 9:56 a.m., with RN 1, Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 7/19/2025 and Resident 1's Physician's Order, dated 7/15/2025, were reviewed. RN 1 stated that on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m., Resident 1 had a BS level of 382 mg/dl, complained of nausea, and had an episode of vomiting. RN 1 stated that there was no documented evidence that Resident 1's vital signs were taken or that an assessment was conducted when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. RN 1 stated that LVN 1 should have checked Resident 1's vital signs and notified MD 1 if any abnormalities (one or more key body functions like heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, or temperature, fall outside normal range, indicating a potential health problem that requires medical attention) were present. RN 1 further stated that LVN 1 did not recheck the elevated BS level of 382 mg/dl and that there was no ongoing monitoring of vital signs to justify that (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555117 If continuation sheet Page 6 of 25 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555117 B.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Resident 1 was not in distress (negative state). RN 1 stated that LVN 1 should have immediately notified MD 1 regarding the elevated BS result (382 mg/dl), nausea and vomiting, as these symptoms indicated a potential underlying medical issue that required further medical intervention. RN 1 stated that MD 1 might have ordered an insulin injection due to the high BS level. RN 1 also stated that Resident 1's Physician's Order dated 7/15/2025 instructed staff to notify MD 1 if Resident 1's BS exceeded 350 mg/dl. RN 1 stated that failure to act on these symptoms could have led to a worsening condition, and potentially death. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 11:05 a.m., with RN 1, RN 1 stated that Resident 1's BS level greater than 350 mg/dl, along with nausea and vomiting constituted a COC, as these symptoms were abnormal for Resident 1. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 required a thorough assessment and appropriate medical intervention from MD 1. RN 1 further stated that LVN 1 was responsible for obtaining Resident 1's vital signs and reporting all presenting symptoms to MD 1 in order to receive appropriate medical orders to address Resident 1's COC. During a review of Resident 1's Certificate of Death , dated 8/6/2025, the Certificate of Death indicated that the immediate cause of death for Resident 1 was cardiopulmonary arrest (a life-threatening medical emergency where the heart stops effectively pumping blood and the body stops breathing), with underlying conditions contributing to the cause of death listed as respiratory failure (a life-threatening medical condition where the lungs can't adequately exchange gases to meet the body's needs) and type 2 DM.

Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's License Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 were competent to follow the current plan of correction to endorse to incoming nurse using the shift-to-shift report. This deficient practice placed Resident 1 at risk of dehydration due to delay of care. Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 11/13/2023 with a diagnosis of anemia (a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells) and osteoarthritis (a disease that worsens over time also known as wear and tear). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 8/12/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 thought process was intact and required supervision assistance from staff to complete activities of daily living (ADLs - activities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of Resident 1 Change of Condition, dated 9/6/2025, the Change of Condition indicated Resident 1 has nausea, vomiting and complaining of feeling sick, stating that his food is not digesting and has a bitter taste in his mouth. During a review of Resident 1's Shift to Shift Change of Condition Report, dated 9/6/2025, the Shift-to-Shift Change of Condition Report indicated If no COC during your shift, a form must be completed indicating no COC during shift and both nurses will sign and on shift nurse name, signature, shift, and cart was blank.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) who had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM - a disease that occurs when your blood sugar [BS] is too high), had a change of condition (COC - a major decline in a resident's status) on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m., when Resident 1 complained of nausea (a feeling of sickness in the stomach that can be accompanied by an urge to vomit), had one episode of vomiting, and a documented blood sugar of 382 (normal range is between 70 to 99) milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl - unit of measurement) obtained by Licensed Vocational Nurse 1(LVN 1), and had a physician's order dated 7/15/2025, instructing staff to notify Medical Doctor 1 (MD 1) if the BS is greater than 350 mg/dl. The facility failed to: 1. Follow the physician's order dated 7/15/2025 to notify MD 1 when Resident 1's BS level reached 382 mg/dl on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m., exceeding 350 mg/dl. 2. Ensure that Resident 1's vital signs (measurements of the body's most basic functions) were obtained during a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. 3. Perform a comprehensive nursing assessment of Resident 1 during a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. 4. Ensure that License Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) provided a shift endorsement (process where a licensed nurse is transferring responsibility for resident care to another licensed nurse providing a detailed summary of the resident's condition, treatment, and ongoing needs) to the oncoming (7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift) staff (Registered Nurse 2 [RN 2] and Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 [LVN 2]) regarding Resident 1's COC that occurred during LVN 1's shift on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 being found unresponsive (not reacting or responding to touch, sounds or verbal commands) on 7/19/2025 at 7:50 a.m. and subsequently died at the facility on 7/19/2025 at 8:05 a.m. On 8/7/2025 at 1:31 p.m., while onsite at the facility, the State Survey Agency (SSA) called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ - a situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident) in the presence of the Administrator (ADM) and Registered Nurse (RN) 1 due to the facility's failure to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. On 8/9/2025 at 12:54 p.m., the ADM submitted an IJ Removal Plan (a detailed plan that identifies all actions the facility will take to immediately address the IJ findings) for the facility's failure to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. On 8/9/2025 at 3:01 p.m., while onsite at the facility, the SSA verified and confirmed the facility's full implementation of the IJ Removal Plan through observations, interviews, and record reviews, and determined the IJ situation regarding the facility's failure to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. was no longer present. The SSA removed the IJ situation on 8/9/2025 at 3:01 p.m. in the presence of the ADM and LVN 8. The acceptable IJ Removal Plan included the following summarized actions: 1. After the IJ was called on 8/7/2025 at 1:31p.m., regarding not notifying the physician of Resident 1's COC, the facility immediately implemented a corrective process requiring all licensed nurses to notify the physician promptly as ordered. The corrective process will include a physical hand-off report (a process of transferring resident care responsibility and information from one healthcare provider to another), called the Shift-to-Shift COC Report, by the licensed nurses every shift. The hand-off report will include any changes of condition that occurred throughout their shift with confirmation that the incoming nurse received the report. The Shift-to-Shift COC Report is audited by the RN 1 and/or designee (assigned Desk Nurse) on every shift. 2.

RN 1 stated that there was no documented evidence that Resident 1's vital signs were taken or that an assessment was conducted when Resident 1 had a COC on 7/19/2025 at 4 a.m. RN 1 stated that LVN 1 should have checked Resident 1's vital signs and notified MD 1 if any abnormalities (one or more key body functions like heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, or temperature, fall outside normal range, indicating a potential health problem that requires medical attention) were present. RN 1 further stated that LVN 1 did not recheck the elevated BS level of 382 mg/dl and that there was no ongoing monitoring of vital signs to justify that Resident 1 was not in distress (negative state). RN 1 stated that LVN 1 should have immediately notified MD 1 regarding the elevated BS result (382 mg/dl), nausea and vomiting, as these symptoms indicated a potential underlying medical issue that required further medical intervention. RN 1 stated that MD 1 might have ordered an insulin injection due to the high BS level. RN 1 also stated that Resident 1's Physician's Order dated 7/15/2025 instructed staff to notify MD 1 if Resident 1's BS exceeded 350 mg/dl. RN 1 stated that failure to act on these symptoms could have led to a worsening condition, and potentially death. During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 11:05 a.m., with RN 1, RN 1 stated that Resident 1's BS level greater than 350 mg/dl, along with nausea and vomiting constituted a COC, as these symptoms were abnormal for Resident 1. RN 1 stated that Resident 1 required a thorough assessment and appropriate medical intervention from MD 1. RN 1 further stated that LVN 1 was responsible for obtaining Resident 1's vital signs and reporting all presenting symptoms to MD 1 in order to receive appropriate medical orders to address Resident 1's COC. During a review of Resident 1's Certificate of Death , dated 8/6/2025, the Certificate of Death indicated that the immediate cause of death for Resident 1 was cardiopulmonary arrest (a life-threatening medical emergency where the heart stops effectively pumping blood and the body stops breathing), with underlying conditions contributing to the cause of death listed as respiratory failure (a life-threatening medical condition where the lungs can't adequately exchange gases to meet the body's needs) and type 2 DM.

Ensure License Vocational Nurse (LVN 1) notified the physician when Resident 1 had a change of condition on 7/19/2025, at 4 a.m. when Resident 1 felt nauseated, had one episode of vomiting and had a blood sugar of 382 milligram per deciliter (mg/dl-unit of measurement).2. Ensure LVN 1 follows physicians order when physicians order indicated to notify physician if Resident 1 blood sugar was greater than 350 mg/dl.3. Ensure LVN 1 obtains Resident 1 vital signs (include body temperature, pulse (heart rate), respiration rate (breathing), and blood pressure. These measurements help healthcare professionals assess a person's overall health and identify potential problems) when Resident 1 had a change of condition.4. Ensure LVN 1 follows an infection control policy and procedure by offering a trash can when Resident 1 had an episode of vomiting.5. Ensure staff competency (a combination of knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors that enable an individual to perform a task or role successfully) were performed annually (yearly) for two of five sampled staff (Certified Nursing Assistant 1 [CNA 1], and Registered Nurse 2 [RN2]) and four of five sampled staff (CNA 1, CNA 2,LVN 8 and RN 2) had annual performance evaluationThese failures placed Resident 1 at immediate risk. The resident was subsequently found unresponsive on 7/19/2025, at 7:50 a.m., which ultimately led to his death at 8:05 a.m. the same day. Also had the potential to affect the care necessary to provide nursing care and related services to meet residents' needs safely. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 1’s admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility initially admitted Resident 1 on 12/3/2021, and readmitted on [DATE], with a diagnoses of type 2 Diabetes Mellites (DM- a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 1’s History and Physical (H & P), dated 9/13/2024, the H & P indicated that Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1’s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a resident assessment tool), dated 6/12/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1’s thought process was intact and required supervision assistance from staff to complete activities of daily living (ADLs – activities such as bathing, dressing, and toileting a person performs daily). During a review of Resident 1’s Physician’s Orders, dated 7/15/2025, the Physician’s Order indicated to monitor Resident 1’s blood sugar before meals and bedtime. Call the physician if blood sugar is greater 350 mg/dl or less than 70 mg/dl before meals and at bedtime. During a review of Resident 1 Progress Notes, dated 7/19/2025, the Progress Notes indicated Resident 1 requested his (Resident 1) blood sugar to be checked due to feeling nauseated and blood sugar result was high. Resident 1 had an episode of vomiting and trash can was provided to Resident 1 in case he had another episode of vomiting. Resident 1’s last blood sugar check was 382 mg/dl. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/5/2025, at 6:24 a.m. with LVN 1, Resident 1 Progress Notes, dated 7/19/2025, were reviewed.

LVN 1 stated that Resident 1 requested to receive his (Resident 1) 6 a.m. medication early instead since there was no medication available. LVN 1 stated that he (LVN 1) gave Resident 1’s 6 a.m. medication at around 4:25 a.m. as Resident 1 requested and did not call the physician to report that Resident 1 blood sugar was 382 mg/dl, nauseated, vomited once and did not call that Resident 1 was requesting to take his 6 a.m. medication early. LVN 1 stated he (LVN 1) should have notified the physician right away to get an order for nausea, vomiting and Resident 1’s blood sugar of 382 mg/dl. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 could possibly have another episode of nausea and vomiting again possibly related to hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious complication of diabetes characterized by high blood sugar and excess ketones in the blood or urine), and unresponsiveness. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/5/2025, at 6:24 a.m. with LVN 1, Resident 1’s Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated 7/2025, was reviewed. The MAR indicated that call the physician if Resident 1’s blood sugar was greater than 350 mg/dl and or less than 70 mg/dl. MAR indicated that Resident 1 blood sugar reading at 6:30 a.m. was 394 mg/dl. LVN 1 stated he (LVN 1) did not notify the physician and skimmed the order and assumed that he (LVN 1) would call the physician if Resident 1 blood sugar was greater than 400 mg/dl. LVN 1 stated that it was a typographical error (a mistake made while typing or printing text), and the blood sugar should be 382 mg/dl instead of 394 mg/dl and the blood sugar of 382 mg/dl was taken at 4 a.m. LVN 1 stated he (LVN 1) did not recheck Resident 1 blood sugar since 4 a.m. that it was last check and just record the last reading of blood sugar of 382 mg/dl at 6:30 a.m. LVN stated that he (LVN 1) should recheck and monitor Resident 1 blood sugar to see any changes.

RN 1 stated that there was no documentation that LVN 1 checked Resident 1 vital signs at 4 a.m. when Resident 1’s complained of nausea. RN 1 stated that LVN 1 should check Resident 1 vital signs and notify the physician if it’s abnormal. RN 1 stated LVN 1 indicated that Resident 1 was okay, but it would be hard to determine if Resident 1 was okay if LVN 1 did not even recheck blood sugar after getting a 382 mg/dl result, and no monitoring of vital signs was taken for Resident 1 to justify that Resident 1 had no distress. RN 1 stated that LVN 1 should have notified the physician right away because Resident 1’s blood sugar was greater than 350 mg/dl, nauseated and vomited. RN 1 stated it means there was something going on and needed more intervention from the physician.
