(DON), the facility's Education/Training Attendance Roster dated 10/15/2025 was reviewed. The DON stated she did not provide any training of Brand 1 glucose (blood sugar) monitoring systems to any of the licensed nurses due to the reason that Resident 1 was capable of applying the CGM device and monitoring
the device by himself since the first date Resident 1 has the device. The DON stated she did not think it was important to provide training to the nurses for application and monitoring of the CGM device as it is a personal device. During an interview on 11/25/2025 at 4:46 PM with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated staff nurses refused to replace his CGM device after it was dislodged on 11/15/2025 near 6:10 AM. Resident 1 stated he had the CGM device since 12/26/2024, facility did not provide training to the facility's licensed nurses about how to apply and manage his CGM until late around 10/15/2025. Resident 1 also stated there was no training to the licensed nurses for learning how to set up the CGM device's application to retrieve
the resident's blood sugar data to the facility's smart phone system, so that the nurses can see the resident's blood sugar data from facility's smart phone system beside Resident 1's smart phone. Resident 1 stated majority of the licensed nurses told him that they were not properly trained in putting on and managing Resident 1's CGM device on him. Resident 1 stated there was only one Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 in the facility who was confident enough to apply CGM device to his arm, but LVN 1 was not capable of using the CGM device application to manage the resident's CGM device. During an interview on 11/26/2025 at 5:09 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the DON started facility's first training on how to apply CGM devices to Resident 1 on 10/15/2025, this training was started after Resident
- 1. The DON stated the CGM application training was provided to staff nurses through watching on line
video ( a form of instruction delivered over the internet, using video content as the primary method for teaching and learning) from Website 1, and the licensed nurses will be re-evaluated by the method of return demonstration check-off (an educational technique where a learner demonstrates a skill they have just been taught or observed) to the DON. The DON stated she could not provide documented evidence that a return demonstration check-off list and/ or sign in sheet that licensed nurses undergone the training. The DON stated setting up the CGM device on a smartphone is new and involves high technology for her. The DON also stated she should have requested professional training (a training that equips the nurses with the knowledge and technical competency to effectively onboard patients, interpret data, and manage diabetes using the CGM device) from the CGM device company representative or from the facility's pharmacy to conduct an in- person training to the facility's licensed nurses but it was not done. The DON stated training should have been done by the time Resident 1 had the device on 12/26/2024. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Staffing, Sufficient and Competent Nursing, revised date August/2022, indicated: Competent StaffCompetency is a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities, behaviors, and other characteristics that an individual needs to perform work roles or occupational functions successfully.
