Review of the progress notes dated 11/18/25 through 12/18/25, showed no documentation showing the physician order was changed. During an interview on 12/19/25 at 10:41 A.M. the ADON said she would expect staff to complete the blood sugar checks before each meal as ordered. 3. Review of Resident #1's admission MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], showed the resident cognitively intact. Diagnoses included diabetes. Review of the resident's care plan in use at the time of survey, showed:-Focus: the resident has non-insulin dependent diabetes;-Goal: the resident will be free of all signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia (low or high blood sugar) such as sweating, trembling, thirst, fatigue, weakness, blurred vision through next review;-Interventions included: provide diet as ordered and conduct a comprehensive skin inspection weekly. Review of the resident's physician orders dated 11/4/25, showed a physician order for Humalog solution 100 unit/mL, inject 10 unit subcutaneously before meals for diabetes. The order failed to include perimeters for when staff should notify the MD. Review of the resident's MAR dated 11/3/25 through 11/30/25, showed a physician order for Humalog solution 100 unit/mL, inject 10 unit subcutaneously before meals for diabetes. Documentation showed on 11/25/25 at 12:00 P.M. the resident's blood sugar measured 57 (hypoglycemic) and the insulin was administered. Review of the resident's progress notes dated 11/25/25, showed no documentation the MD was notified of the residents low blood sugar. During an
interview on 12/19/25 at 1:30 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said the nurse reported the resident's blood glucose level to her and told her he/she was holding the insulin and placed a call to the on-call through the exchange. The DON did not know if the on-call doctor called back or not. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 11:05 A.M, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A said if a resident did not have a perimeter for his/her blood sugar he/she would notify the MD if the blood sugar was below 70 or above 350 and document it in the progress notes. During an interview on 12/18/25 at 11:35 A.M., LPN B said if a resident did not have perimeters for his/her blood sugar, he/she would notify the MD if the blood sugar was below 60 or above 400. If the MD was notified it would be documented in the progress notes. If a resident's blood sugar was low, he/she would hold the insulin, and give them orange juice or milk and follow up with the MD.
During an interview on 12/19/25 at 10:41 A.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing said when the nurse receives an order to check the blood sugar, they should also obtain an order for when the physician wants to be notified. If a resident did not have perimeters for their blood sugar, staff should notify the physician if
the blood sugar was below 70 or above 350. If the blood sugar was below 70, staff should not administer
the insulin, give them a snack, notify the physician and document it in the progress notes. When the nurse documents the insulin is held on the MAR, it will automatically generate a progress note. 4. During an
interview on 12/19/25 at 1:30 P.M. and at 3:37 P.M., the Administrator said she would expect staff to obtain perimeter orders for blood sugars when the order to check the blood sugar was obtained. Physician orders should be followed. 2688707
