Inspection Findings:
Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure orders were carried out as prescribed for all medications and treatments the facility was responsible to administer, for 1 of 3 sampled residents (# 2) whose orders were reviewed. Findings include, but are not limited to:Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 08/2018 with diagnoses including diabetes and received insulin injections multiple times daily.Resident 2's MAR, physician orders, and progress notes, reviewed from 04/01/22 through 05/02/22, revealed the following:* Physician orders instructed staff to check Resident 2's blood glucose levels (CBG) four times daily, before each meal and at bedtime, and record the result. On 04/16/22 Resident 2's CBGs were not checked as ordered. * Insulin Lispro orders instructed staff to inject two units subcutaneously three times a day before meals. There were seven occasions in April when staff documented administration of three units of insulin instead of the two units that were ordered. On 04/16/22 no Insulin Lispro was administered. * Lantus Solostar insulin orders instructed staff to inject 11 units subcutaneous daily at 5 p.m. On 04/16/22 there was no scheduled Lantus Solostar insulin administered as ordered. * Insulin Lispro was ordered to be administered subcutaneously 10 minutes before each meal based on a sliding scale, determined by the resident's CBG. On 04/11/22 at 5:00 p.m. Resident 2's CBG was 238. According to the orders, a CBG of 201 to 300 would require six units of insulin to be administered. No sliding scale insulin was administered at that time. There was no negative outcome identified related to the lack of following physician orders related to insulin administration and CBG monitoring.Resident 2's MARs and orders were reviewed with Staff 1 (Administrator), Staff 2 (Regional Director of Operations), and Staff 3 (RN) on 05/03/22. They acknowledged staff failed to ensure orders were carried out as prescribed.
Plan of Correction:
1.Resident #2 insulin orders have been updated/rewritten to include clear instructions on how much/how often and when to administer. Team now has house stock supply of testing strips in the event resident #2 runs out. Sliding scale insulin was discontinued.2.All Medication technicians have been inserviced on how to read MAR instructions, review importance of insuline administration and CBG checks. House stock testing strips available when needed. 3.DHS or designee will do a weekly review of insulin/CBG checks/administration per instructions and dosing is accurate. 4.DHS/ED/Designee
