Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure blood glucose meters (glucometer - a
blood sugar meter measures the amount of sugar in a small sample of blood) were calibrated and
documented according to the facility protocol and current professional standards of practice on multiple
days on November 2025. This failure had the potential to result in inaccurate blood glucose readings for
residents requiring routine monitoring.Findings:A review of Station Three, Cart C November 2025 Quality
Assurance Log indicated missing documentation for the following dates, with blank entries for time, staff
performing, machine lot number, test strip lot number, low control, high control, and actions taken:
-November 14, 2025;-November 15, 2025; and -November 19, 2025. On December 1, 2025, at 10:52 a.m.,
an interview and review of Station Three Quality Assurance Log were conducted with the Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN 1). LVN 1 stated, glucometer calibration was the responsibility of the night shift
nurse and was documented on the assurance logs located on the medication carts. LVN 1 stated there
were two medication carts per station and stated we are good about doing the checks. LVN 1 further
acknowledged the November 2025 log had missing documentation on November 14, 15, and 19, 2025, and
there should not be any gaps on the logs. A review of the November 2025 Station One's Cart B Quality

concurrent interview and record review were conducted with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) at Station
one. The RNS stated, LVNs on the night shift was responsible for completing glucometer calibration logs
including lot numbers, control ranges and results. The RNS stated the logs were necessary to ensure
accurate blood glucose readings. The RNS stated if there is nothing written you would not know if the
glucometer was checked and then you would not know if your readings were accurate. The RNS stated the
licensed nurses for the day shift should double check the logs during reports and make the corrections.
RNS stated she was not previously aware of the gaps. On December 1, 2025, at 12:32 p.m., a concurrent
interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Staff Development (DSD). The DSD stated
the night shift was responsible for completing the calibration logs and that oncoming shifts should review
and complete the logs if missing to ensure accuracy. A review of the November 2025 Quality Assurance
Log for Station Two Carts B and C indicated missing documentation as follows, with blank entries for time,
staff performing, machine lot number, test strip lot number, low control, high control, and actions taken:

results. The DON stated the logs were necessary to ensure accurate readings of the blood sugars levels for
the residents who need to have their levels checked. The DON confirmed there were four missing gaps for
the month of November for Cart B and Cart C. The DON stated she did have a concern that if there is a
blank portion of the assurance forms there should be a follow up by the day shift nurse and that day shift
nurse should fill out the form as well to confirm that the glucometer check was done. The DON stated that if
the forms were not filled out completely there was no way to know if it was done correctly or accurately. The
DON stated if the forms are left blank there would be a risk for the residents' blood sugar readings to not
accurately reflect the glucose levels. A review of the facility policy titled, Obtaining a Fingerstick Glucose
Level dated October 2011, indicated, the purpose of this procedure is to obtain a blood sample to
