At this time, this surveyor presented V2 the 1st floor mealtimes. V2 stated staff is expected to get the blood sugar between 7:00am and 7:15am to prevent from getting a false reading. I also expected the nurse (V22) to document the accurate result, if it is 200 then document 200.
Documenting the correct result will determine the resident's endocrine system is working or an adjustment to her diabetes medications need to be done.
