Findings included: a)
elevated blood sugars received adequate care and the facility failed to ensure the residents receive their medications on time a physicians order was found for Fingerstick blood glucose Notify MD if blood sugar greater than 400, if blood glucose is below 70 initiate hypoglycemic protocol two times a day for DM - start date- 02/17/2025.
The resident did not receive these Finger sticks on 12/25/25.
This is evidenced by no blood sugar being charted in the vitals section (blood sugar summary) of his medical record, the medication administration record (MAR) or in the progress notes for the date noted.
This has potential to harm the resident due to not knowing if his blood sugar levels are within appropriate range for the day.
