- Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident’s Doctor or Family Member of a Change in the Resident’s Condition – citation #F580 date May 16, 2019
- Failure to Provide and Implement an Infection Protection and Control Program – citation #F880 date May 16, 2019
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure its licensed staff notified the Physician of blood glucose greater than 450.” This deficient practice by the nursing staff affected one resident “whose blood glucose levels were reviewed.”
A review of the resident’s Electronic Medication Administration Records (MAR) guided the licensed nursing staff on when and how to administer insulin based on the resident’s blood glucose metering. The nursing staff was to check the resident’s blood sugar three times daily before meals using a sliding-scale to determine the amount of insulin to provide when needed.
The records indicated that the Physician was to be notified when the resident’s glucose monitoring revealed levels greater than 450. However, the Departmental Notes revealed there was no Nursing Note entry of Physician notification when the Medication Administration Record indicated an excessively high (over 450) blood glucose reading.
The state investigators interviewed a Registered Nurse (RN) Supervisor who was asked, “should the Physician be notified per the sliding-scale order for capillary blood glucose or blood glucose reading over 450?” The Supervisor replied, “Yes.” The surveyors then asked “was the Physician notified after the results of May 11, 2019, at 4:00 PM or after the May 12, 2019, 1:00 PM results?” The Supervisor stated that “not that she was aware of.”
The Supervisor stated that there was potential harm of “not notifying the physician of a Capillary Blood Glucose over 450” because “the resident could go into a diabetic coma or have other issues from sugar.”
The facility “failed to ensure the Treatment Nurse removed her gloves and sanitized her hands, after cleaning the wound for [two residents], before placing the clean treatment and outer coverings.” The surveyors observed the Wound Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) providing treatment of a resident’s Stage II pressure ulcer to the coccyx.
The LPN failed to follow established protocols to eliminate the spread of infection. Additionally, “the assisting nurse removed the resident’s pants and loosened the brief and held the resident” for the Wound Nurse. The nurse then “rolled the brief down away from the wound with her gloved hand.” At that time, the brief was wet.
