event would be called in to the state as a medication error.
In an interview with the DON on 02/06/2025 at 4:45 PM, the DON confirmed that Resident #1 had not
received insulin for 6 days from 01/31/25-02/5/25, putting the resident at risk for hyperglycemia (elevated
blood sugar levels) with both short-term (hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis) and long-term (damage to
kidneys, eyes and nerves) effects. The DON stated she expected all nursing staff to confirm discharge
instructions and transcribe them to the EMR to ensure administration of medications.

when he was notified of Resident #1's BS 446, he advised them to give 4u fast acting and re-check the
resident's BS. MD #1 stated he did not like aggressive s/s for geriatric patients and would figure out where
she was normally and adjust as needed. MD #1 stated he did not feel more adverse effects as the
resident's levels were similar to the hospital levels. MD #1 stated his expectations were, of course are that
they follow his orders and is is pleased with the fast action they took with termination of the nurse he spoke
to personally regarding the 4u of Lantus administration.
In an interview with MD #2 on 2/6/25 at 5:55 PM, MD #2 (admitting physician) stated he did not recall
exactly what Resident #1's admitting orders were but recalled he did ask the facility to continue hospital
orders and he evaluated the resident in person on 1/31/25. MD #2 stated he was not concerned when they
told him about the missed Lantus dose of 17u because it is long acting and stays 36-40 hours, so not that
damaging. MD #2 stated he had protocols in place for Glucagon and that a s/s for Lantus were not
recommended anyway.

F 0770
Provide timely, quality laboratory services/tests to meet the needs of residents.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide or obtain laboratory services to meet the needs of
its residents for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #2) reviewed for laboratory services, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not obtain a UA C&S (a medical test that combines a urinalysis with a culture and sensitivity
test to diagnose and treat urinary tract infections) for Resident #2 as ordered by a physician.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk for a delay in identifying or diagnosing a problem,
adjusting medications, and ensuring treatment needs were identified and addressed.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #2's face sheet, dated 02/04/2025, revealed an admission date of 09/26/2022
and a readmission date of 07/19/2024, with diagnoses that included: Raynaud's syndrome without
gangrene (a condition that causes decreased blood flow to the extremities but doesn't always lead to dead
tissue), essential primary hypertension (persistently elevated high blood pressure), depression (a common
mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest
in activities once enjoyed) and cognitive communication deficit (a communication difficulty caused by a
cognitive impairment).
Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS of 11, indicating moderately
impaired cognition.
Record review of Resident #2's comprehensive care plan, updated 11/13/2024, revealed the focus areas
ADL self-care performance deficit with a goal of will maintain current level of function through the review
date and intervention Toilet use: Requires (extensive assistance) by (1) staff for toileting, and Incontinence
of bowel and bladder with the goal will be clean, dry and odor free and the intervention report to physician
any s/s of burning on urination, febrile (having of showing the symptoms of a fever), pyuria (urine containing
white blood cells or pus), hematuria (blood in the urine) or malodorous urine. Both focus areas were
initiated 08/11/2024.
Record review of Resident #2's EHR revealed a progress note from RN F dated 08/30/2024 at 10:23 AM
indicating Resident #2 was confused, agitated and confabulating, she had not slept well the night before,
and had baseline confusion exacerbated by limited sleep. The resident's physician and RP were notified
and a new order for a UA with C&S was received.
Record review of the resident's EHR revealed there was no order for a UA C&S (Culture & Sensitivity)
ordered by the physician.
During an interview on 02/05/2025 at 1:30 PM, ADON G stated she was instructed to complete a skin
assessment on Resident #2 on 08/30/2024 by the facility's former DON. She was not aware the UA order
had not been put in the system and monitored. RN F seemed a little scattered and overwhelmed. She did
not recall him ever mentioning that he or the aide failed to get a urine sample or had difficulty getting it. It
was not brought to the leadership's attention it was not obtained at that time. The resident was admitted to
the hospital for a different reason on 09/08/2024, at which time a UA was done. She was diagnosed with a
UTI and treated with antibiotics.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 02/05/2025 at 1:55 PM, the administrator and DON stated RN F received a
telephone order from Resident #2's physician for the UA C&S but never put it in the system and as a result
of this failure, the resident's urine was never assessed by the laboratory to see if she had a UTI. There was
no follow-up. The facility now has a process in place to review order summaries every day to ensure nothing
is dropped. ADONs are responsible for monitoring lab orders. RN F was no longer employed by the facility;
he was on staff for approximately one month and terminated by mutual agreement due to his difficulty
keeping up with the workload on 09/13/2024.
During a telephone interview on 02/05/2025 at 3:15 PM, RN F stated when he received the verbal order
from Resident #2's physician he told the floor CNA working the floor to collect the urine specimen but she
had difficulty obtaining it as the resident was uncooperative. She was confused and resistant to following
directions. He passed the information along to the incoming charge nurse.
Record review of facility policy Lab and Diagnostic Test Results - Clinical Protocol dated November 2018
revealed, Assessment and Recognition: 1. The physician will identify and order diagnostic and lab testing
based on the resident's diagnostic and monitoring needs. 2. The staff will process test requisitions and
arrange for tests. 3. The laboratory. Diagnostic radiology provider, or other testing source will report test
results to the facility.
Record review of facility policy Telephone Orders dated February 2014 revealed, Verbal telephone orders
may be accepted from each resident's attending physician. 1. Verbal telephone orders may only be received
by licensed personnel (e.g., RN, LPN/LVN, pharmacist, physician, etc.). Orders must be reduced to writing,
by the person receiving the order and recorded in the resident's medical record. 2. The entry must contain
the instructions from the physician, date, time, and the signature and title of the person transcribing the
information. 3. Telephone orders must be countersigned by the physician during his or her next visit.
