The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 received care in accordance with professional standards when the resident, who was diagnosed with type II diabetes, did not have any orders or monitoring tools to monitor for hyper/hypoglycemia when he re-admitted to the facility on [DATE]. This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving appropriate treatment, which could result in a decline in health and serious harm. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 08/29/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1's diagnoses included Metabolic Encephalopathy (brain does not function properly due to underlying metabolic disturbances), End Stage Renal Disease (kidneys have permanently lost most of their function and no longer adequately filter waste products and excess fluid from blood), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Hyperglycemia (chronic condition characterized by blood sugar (hyperglycemia) due to the body's inability to use insulin effectively). Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 08/08/25, reflected Resident #1 was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. The facility's interventions included: checking fasting serum blood sugar as ordered by doctor, monitoring, documenting, and reporting as needed any signs or symptoms of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, monitoring, documenting, and reporting as needed any signs and symptoms of infection to any open areas which included redness, pain, heat, swelling or pus formation., and a dietary consult for nutritional regimen and ongoing monitoring.Further review of this document reflected Resident #1 was not care-planned for a behavior of refusing care or treatment.
