Resident #1's daughter said the nurse told her that a CNA provided care alone to the Resident and this confused her because she believed the Resident required two staff members for any type of care. Resident #1's daughter said that when asked, the nurse could not say why two people were not available to provide care. The surveyor did not attempt an interview with the Resident at this time because his/her daughter said he/she did not talk much. During an interview on 10/02/2025 at 9:21 A.M., CNA #1 said she has been Resident #1's primary CNA during the day shift for a very long time. CNA #1 said Resident #1 is dependent for all care and requires two staff to assist for all toileting and bed mobility tasks. CNA #1 said two CNAs are required to ensure safety for the Resident because the Resident is too heavy for one person to move on their own. During a telephone interview on 10/02/2025 at 3:10 P.M., CNA #2 said she provided care to Resident #1 on September 3, 2025, when the incident occurred. CNA #2 said she had been providing care to Resident #1's roommate and when leaving the room observed Resident #1 to be soiled. CNA #2 said Resident #1 was not on her assignment, however, because the Resident was soiled, she decided to provide incontinence care. CNA #2 said she attempted to ask for help from the other CNA on duty, but he was busy, so she began to provide care on her own. CNA #2 said she did not ask the nurse on duty for assistance. CNA #2 said as she began to roll Resident #1 to his/her left side, she heard a crack in the Resident's right arm, and she then went to get the nurse for help. CNA #2 said all CNAs have the ability to look up Kardex or care plan information, however she did not look up information prior to her shift. CNA #2 said she was also aware that Resident #1 required two people for care, but she decided to provide care on her own anyway and did not ask the nurse or wait until the other CNA was available. During a telephone interview on 10/02/2025 at 3:12 P.M., Nurse #1 said the staff providing care to the residents are able to access and view any resident care plan or Kardex to see the level of care required. Nurse #2 said Resident #1 has always required two staff for personal care and bed mobility tasks because he/she is very heavy and for safety of both staff and the Resident, one person cannot do it alone. Nurse #1 said CNA #2 provided care to Resident #1 by herself and never asked him to assist her. Nurse #2 said he will assist all CNAs during his shift as needed or asked. During an interview on 10/02/25 at 2:02 P.M., the Director of Nursing said CNA #2 observed Resident #1 to be soiled in bed, could not find help from the other CNA and provided care to the Resident herself.

Based on records reviewed and interviews for one of three sampled residents (Resident #1), whose diagnoses included diabetes mellitus and had Physician's orders for insulin to manage the condition, the Facility failed to ensure he/she was free from significant medication errors, when on 09/07/23, after the Physician wrote a new order for insulin, nursing misread and did not clarify the order, and it was transcribed incorrectly onto his/her Medication Administration Record. As a result, from 09/08/23 to 09/11/23, nursing administered 30 units (10 x the dose ordered) of insulin to Resident #1 instead of the 3 units as ordered by his/her Physician. On 09/12/23, Resident #1 was noted to be lethargic, unresponsive, was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar), was transferred to the Hospital Emergency Department for evaluation and was admitted to the Hospital for treatment. Findings Include: Review of the Facility Policy titled Medication Order/Reorder Procedure, dated as revised 12/2018, indicated a medical practitioner's order is needed for all medications ordered for residents and indicated the order will include the name of the medication, dose, administration route, and any special instructions. The Policy indicated that the nurse must ensure the order contains the name of the medication, dose, frequency, and route of administration. Resident #1 was admitted to the Facility in October 2019, diagnoses included adult failure to thrive, stage four chronic kidney disease, dependence on renal dialysis, heart failure, depression, anxiety disorder, and diabetes mellitus. Review of Resident #1's Physician's Orders, dated 09/07/23 and signed by the Physician, indicated Lantus 3 u daily. The Physician's order did not have the word unit written out for the dosage and the order did not contain the route of administration and was therefore an incomplete order. Review of Resident #1's Medical Record indicated there was no documentation to support that nursing made an attempt to clarify his/her Physician's orders for his/her Lantus insulin dosage or to clarify the incomplete order (missing route of administration) when his/her Physician wrote the order on 09/07/23, or before the insulin was administered to Resident #1. Review of Resident #1's MAR, for the Month of September 2023, indicated that he/she had a new order effective 09/08/23, to administer Lantus Subcutaneous Solution 100 units/milliliter (ML) inject 30 units subcutaneously at bedtime for diabetes mellitus. The MAR indicated Resident #1 was administered 30 units Lantus insulin subcutaneously on 09/08/23, 09/09/23, 09/10/23, and 09/11/23. However, the Physician's order was for 3 u (units) not 30 and as a result, Resident #1 was administered 10 x the intended dose. Review of the Facility Incident Report, dated 09/12/23, indicated a Physician's Order for Resident #1's insulin dosage was transcribed into his/her MAR as 30 units (Lantus insulin) and that the Physician's Medication Order read 3 u daily. The Report indicated Lantus (30 units) was administered to Resident #1 from 09/08/23 to 09/11/23. The Report indicated that Resident #1's Physician was notified of the medication error and ordered to discontinue the insulin due to a hypoglycemic reaction (symptoms can range from sweating, fatigue, irregular or fast heart beat, confusion,and as worsens, slurred speech, loss of coordination and unresponsiveness). Review of Resident #1's Nurse Progress Note, dated 09/12/23, indicated he/she was observed to be lethargic and not responding, was transferred into bed, and a blood sugar was obtained with a result of 40 milligrams per deciliter mg/dl (severe low blood sugar is below 54 mg/dl). The Note indicated Resident #1 was diaphoretic (sweating), had rapid respirations, Glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar) was administered via intramuscular injection, 911 was called, and he/she was transferred to the Hospital Emergency Department. Review of Resident #1's Hospital Discharge Summary, dated 09/15/23, indicated Resident #1 presented to the Hospital Emergency Department on 09/12/23 with an episode of iatrogenic hypoglycemia (result of insulin excess and compromised glucose counter-regulation) and non-responsiveness. The Discharge Summary indicated that upon arrival at the Hospital Emergency Department Resident #1's blood glucose was 80 mg/dl which subsequently fell to 25 mg/dl which was thought to be related to slow metabolism of insulin in the setting of end stage renal disease. The Discharge Summary indicated that per review of records, Resident #1 had been re-started by his/her Physician on an insulin regimen of 3 units of Lantus at bedtime on 09/07/23 but had been mistakenly receiving 30 units of Lantus at bedtime. During an interview on 09/27/23 at 11:51 A.M., Nurse #1 said that, on 09/12/23, after Resident #1 returned to the Facility from dialysis, he/she became lethargic and diaphoretic with a blood glucose level of 40 mg/dl. Nurse #1 said she yelled for assistance, Resident #1 was assisted into bed, he/she was administered Glucagon, an emergency code was initiated, 911 was called and he/she was transferred to the Hospital Emergency Department. During an interview on 09/27/23 at 12:14 P.M., Unit Manager #1 said that on 09/12/23, she was in her office and was notified that one of the nurses needed help. Unit Manager #1 said she responded and observed Resident #1 in bed and not responsive. Unit Manager #1 said an emergency code was called, Glucagon was administered to Resident #1, vital signs were taken, and 911 was called. During an interview on 10/02/23 at 1:23 P.M. and 10/12/23 at 1:43 P.M., Nurse #3 said that, on 09/07/23, he worked the 3:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. and did not have any residents assigned to him, but was assisting at the nurses desk on all of the units. Nurse #3 said he saw Resident #1's Physician on the unit but did not know why she was there to see Resident #1, but said he later saw Physician's orders flagged in Resident #1's chart. Nurse #3 said he transcribed the Physician's order for Lantus insulin into Resident #1's MAR in the computer. Nurse #3 said he has been a nurse for approximately [AGE] years and said the components that made up a complete Physician's medication order included that the order was written for the right resident, included the medication, the dosage, route of administration, and frequency of administration. Nurse #3 said the components of a complete medication dosage in a Physician's order included the quantity and unit of measure for the medication. Nurse #3 said he was aware that a u could represent units for insulin orders but said it was not typically used and that the word units should be written out. Nurse #3 said when he saw Resident #1's orders written by his/her Physician on 09/07/23, he did not realize the order indicated Lantus 3 u daily (for units). Nurse #3 said he thought the order was written as Lantus 30 daily and said that was what he transcribed into Resident #1's MAR. Nurse #3 said he did not call Resident #1's Physician to verify or clarify the insulin order when he thought it indicated Lantus 30 daily, and just transcribed it into the MAR. Nurse #3 said after Resident #1 experienced the hypoglycemic incident, he looked at the Physician's order a second time and said he could see how the order could have been read as either Lantus 30 units or 3 u, but said the u wasn't written clearly. Nurse #3 said he should have called Resident #1's Physician on 09/07/23 to clarify the order. During an interview on 09/27/23 at 12:14 P.M, Unit Manager #1 said that after Resident #1 had the hypoglycemic incident, she discovered, while going through his/her Medical Record, an order for Lantus 30 units had been transcribed and said she called Resident #1's Physician and confirmed that what she had ordered was Lantus 3 units for him/her and not 30 units. Unit Manager #1 said that if a Physician writes an insulin order with a u or does not write out the word units, the nurse needs to call the Physician to clarify the order. During an interview on 10/03/23 at 9:51 A.M., the Physician said she wrote an order for Lantus 3 units to be administered to Resident #1 daily but said she did not write out the word unit. The Physician said, rather than administering 3 units of Lantus insulin to Resident #1, nursing administered 30 units. The Physician said 30 units of Lantus insulin was not an appropriate dosage to administer to Resident #1. The Physician said she would never start any patient on Lantus 30 units daily because that would be too much, even if a patient did not have all of the co-morbidities that Resident #1 had. The Physician said iatrogenic hypoglycemia, as indicated on Resident #1's Hospital Discharge Summary, meant that his/her hypoglycemia was medication induced. The Physician said nursing had not contacted her to clarify the insulin order she wrote for Resident #1 on 09/07/23. During an interview on 10/04/23 at 1:34 P.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said Nurse #3 should have called Resident #1's Physician to obtain a new order for his/her insulin, written out the telephone order, and documented that he had called the Physician to verify the order in a Nurse Progress Note. During an interview on 09/27/23 at 1:05 P.M. and 1:42 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) said she found Resident #1's medication error after he/she was transferred to the Hospital Emergency Department. The DON said she and the Assistant Director of Nursing saw the Physician's Order in Resident #1's Medical Record was written as 3 u (Lantus insulin) and when they checked his/her MAR they saw that 30 units (Lantus) had been administered. The DON said although the Physician should not have used a u and should have written out the word unit when Resident #1's insulin order was written, said Nurse #3 was equally responsible and should have clarified the Physician's order that day.

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on records reviewed and interviews for two of three sampled residents (Resident #1 and Resident #2), the Facility failed to ensure adequate safety and supervision when: On 2/16/18, staff left hot soup unattended on a table in front of Resident #1, who was cognitively impaired and required Staff assistance at mealtimes, and Resident #1 spilled the soup on his/her lap. Resident #1 was transferred to the Hospital where he/she was diagnosed and treated for [REDACTED]. On 3/4/18, Resident #2, who required the use of a hall bathroom or a commode (portable toilet) placed in his/her room and required the assistance of two staff members for transfers and ambulation, was assisted by only one staff member into the bathroom located in Resident #2's room, Resident #2's knees buckled, legs twisted, and as a result, Resident #2 sustained a right [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Findings Include: 1. The Facility Policy titled Mealtime Supervision and Documentation, revised 9/2017, indicated that Residents will be monitored during meal time to ensure that they are receiving adequate assistance.

Dietary Aide #1 said soup is supposed to be served no more than 180 degrees. The Dietary Aide said, after Resident #1's burn incident, staff were instructed to add ice to soup, if the temperature was above 180 degrees, before it was served to residents. The Surveyor interviewed the Food Service Director at 12:20 P.M. on 7/5/18. The Food Service Director said food temperatures are taken before food leaves the kitchen and again before served in the dining rooms. The Food Service Director said that when food temperature is checked before serving, if it did not meet minimum temperature standards then food needed to be reheated. The Food Service Director said the Facility did not have a defined standard to determine if food was too hot to be served, and although it was not a procedure in the whole Facility, after Resident #1's burn incident, the staff on the Dementia Unit, where Resident #1 resided, had the discretion to put ice cubes in the soup if they thought it was too hot. The Food Service Director said soup could be served at 190-200 degrees Fahrenheit but the Facility was trying to be more diligent about keeping the serving temperature at 180-190 degree Fahrenheit range. The Surveyor interviewed CNA #1 at 8:15 A.M. on 7/9/18.
