F684K · Immediate jeopardy, pattern

Based on review of facility policy, clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to notify physicians of elevated Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels, failed to assess residents for [CONDITION(S)] (high blood glucose) and [CONDITION(S)] (low blood glucose), and failed to educate staff on facility policies related to [CONDITION(S)] and [CONDITION(S)] for 5 of 9 Residents (Residents R8, R11, R53, R81, and R257), resulting in immediate jeopardy. Findings include: The Centers for Disease Control defines diabetes as: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic (long-[MEDICATION(S)]) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body's cells for use as energy. If you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes as well as it should. When there isn't enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. [CONDITION(S)] is a condition that occurs when blood glucose is lower than normal, usually below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). If left untreated, [CONDITION(S)] may lead to weakness, confusion, unconsciousness, arrhythmias and even death. People with Diabetes Mellitus may be prescribed injectable insulin to assist in maintaining acceptable levels of CBG's. Review of the facility policy [CONDITION(S)]: Treatment dated 1/25/21, states: Symptoms of [CONDITION(S)] (blood glucose level 400mg/dl or above): Decreased level of consciousness, dehydration, increased urination, deep/rapid breathing, increase thirst, increased appetite, changes in vision, fruity odor on breath -Recognize hyperglycemic symptoms -Obtain blood glucose result. -Assess clinical status using A, B, Cs (airway, breathing, circulation). Be prepared to activate EMS and transport if condition deteriorates or does not improve -Monitor vital signs every 5-15 minutes until stable -Notify physician of clinical condition, including vital signs and blood glucose level. Do not leave patient unattended -Verify physician's order and administer insulin as ordered -Monitor blood glucose level every 15 minutes until results within normal limits for patient or per physicians' orders. Review of the facility policy [CONDITION(S)]: Treatment dated 1/25/21, states: Symptoms of [CONDITION(S)] (blood glucose level 60 mg/dl or lower): Mild [CONDITION(S)]- Hunger, pallor (paleness), weakness, shakiness, sweating, [CONDITION(S)] or palpitations (rapid/irregular heartbeat), and headache. Moderate [CONDITION(S)]- inability to concentrate, confusion, slurred speech, change in behavior/restlessness, blurred vision, extreme fatigue. Severe [CONDITION(S)]- becoming argumentative or combative, disorientation, Loss of consciousness, seizures Includes the following interventions (procedure): Recognize [CONDITION(S)] symptoms, Obtain Blood glucose result. LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE (60 mg/dL or below) AND ASYMPTOMATIC OR SYMPTOMATIC (with or without symptoms): Follow physician's orders for Blood Sugar parameters and treatment such as: If alert - milk, orange or apple juice, or commercially prepared glucose tablets or gel If not alert - give 1 amp (25g) of D 50 IV(intravenous glucose infusion), if no IV access, administer 1mg [MEDICATION(S)] ([MEDICATION(S)]) (injectable glucose medication) intramuscularly(in the muscle) or subcutaneously(under the skin) 2. Repeat finger stick as ordered per physician, usually every 15 minutes LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE (50 mg/dL or below) AND SYMPTOMS OF SEVERE [CONDITION(S)]: Repeat finger stick Assess clinical status using A, B, Cs (airway, breathing, circulation) Monitor vital signs every 5-15 minutes until stable. Do not leave patient unattended Notify physician of clinical condition including vital signs and blood glucose level Administer physician's orders for emergency treatment of [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] -3 to 6 commercially prepared glucose tablets, or gel/liquid if patient can swallow -[MEDICATION(S)] 1mg (subcutaneously or intramuscularly) - IV bolus of 50 cc or 50% dextrose solution (intravenous glucose infusion) if no response to [MEDICATION(S)](tablets or gel) within 15 minutes Monitor blood glucose levels every 10 minutes until within acceptable range -If acceptable range is not reached in reasonable period of time or condition deteriorates, activate EMS and prepare for emergency transport. -If acceptable range is reached and patient begins to respond, provide protein snack such as cheese and crackers Review of the facility policy Change in Condition dated 1/25/21, states: PURPOSE: To provide guidance in the identification of clinical changes that may constitute a change in condition and require intervention and notifications.

She reported that she likely became distracted and just forgot to document interventions. The NHA and DON were made aware that Immediate Jeopardy existed due to the failure of the facility to monitor, evaluate and/or revise the resident's response to interventions which placed the residents at risk by failing to assess and document signs or symptoms of [CONDITION(S)] and [CONDITION(S)], notify physicians of acute condition changes, follow physician orders, and educating staff on facility policies: related to [CONDITION(S)] and [CONDITION(S)] for the residents in the facility on 1/14/22, at 10:31 a.m., and a corrective action plan was requested; and the IJ template was provided at that time. On 1/14/22, at 1:28 p.m., an acceptable Corrective Action Plan was approved which included the following interventions: Corrective Action Taken: -The Director of Nursing and unit managers were educated by the Quality Assurance Consultant on 1/13/22, at 10:15 am including Change of Condition, [CONDITION(S)], and [CONDITION(S)] nursing procedures including notification of physician, documentation of the notification, and care plan revision as indicated. -Licensed staff, registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, education was initiated on 1/13/22, at 10:30 am by the Director of Nursing/ designee including Change of Condition, [CONDITION(S)], and [CONDITION(S)] nursing procedures including notification of physician, documentation of the notification, and care plan revision as indicated. -The 5 identified residents had their MARs reviewed, and the physician was notified of glucometer results outside of ordered parameters.
