- Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident, the Resident’s Doctor or Family Members of a Change in the Resident’s Condition Including a Decline in Their Health or Injury – citation #F157 date October 13, 2017
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to notify the Physician of a change in condition.” The Physician was not notified that the resident “had recurring low blood sugars [over] twenty-four hours, and the facility failed to notify the resident’s Responsible Party when the resident was sent to the hospital .”
The state surveyors deemed that an Immediate Jeopardy situation began when the nurse “checked the resident’s blood sugar [at 1:06 AM] and documented the reading as 39 [dangerously low].” At 8:05 AM, a Medication Administration Note indicated that the resident was given orange juice with sugar. The nursing staff rechecked the resident’s blood sugar levels that now measured 59 mg/dL.
A review of the Medication Administration Note, from 9:10 AM the same day, indicated “long-acting insulin was not administered, due to blood sugars of 39-59.” By 4:00 PM the same day, documentation shows that the resident “had blood sugar checks four times and no insulin coverage.” At 11:30 AM the same day, the resident’s blood sugar was measured 81 mg/dL. By 1:00 PM, the blood sugar level was 53 mg/dL.
The RN Supervisor stated, during an interview on October 12, 2017, that “she did not remember [the resident] or anything about low blood sugar. The RN Supervisor stated that if she had been told about the blood sugar of 39 mg/dL, she would have said to call the Physician immediately .”
Another nurse indicated that “it was an extremely busy evening, and she did not remember to call or notify the resident’s Responsible Party when the resident was sent to the hospital.” A third nurse indicated, “she worked a double shift [that day] and remembered in the early morning hours [that the] Responsible Party was not notified when the resident was sent to the hospital.”
