**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of facility policy, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to notify physicians of increased and decreased Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) levels and failed to assess residents for hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) and hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), for two of nine residents reviewed (Residents R27, and R46). Findings include: The Centers for Disease Control defines diabetes as: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic (long-lasting) 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. Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when blood glucose is lower than normal, usually below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl). If left untreated, hypoglycemia 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. Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose, occurs when there is too much sugar in the blood. This happens when your body has too little insulin. Hyperglycemia is blood glucose greater than 125 mg/dL while fasting (not eating for at least eight hours, or a blood glucose greater than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after eating. If you have hyperglycemia and it ' s untreated for long periods of time, you can damage your nerves, blood vessels, tissues and organs. Damage to blood vessels can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke, and nerve damage may also lead to eye damage, kidney damage and non-healing wounds. Review of the facility policy for diabetes reviewed 9/27/23 and 3/27/24, indicated the facility will recognize, assist, and document the treatment of complication commonly associated with diabetes. Step #1 indicated to obtain physician orders for fingerstick blood sugar testing including parameters for intervention. Documentation should reflect the carefully assessed diabetic resident and include level of consciousness, assessment, results of fingerstick blood monitoring, interventions to stabilize blood glucose levels\, and notification to physician of unstable and/or significant variances from base line per physician order. Review of the facility policy Management of Hypoglycemic Reaction reviewed 9/27/23 and 3/27/24, indicated if resident's blood glucose results are less than 70 mg/dl, regardless of symptoms are present, give eight ounces (oz) of orange juice, one tube of glucose gel, prepackaged cookies or other sweetened snack. Recheck blood glucose after 15 minutes. Notify physician as ordered or indicated. Review of the facility policy for change in resident's condition reviewed 9/27/23 and 3/27/24, indicated licensed professional nurses are responsible to provide timely and complete communication to physicians when there is a change in a residents' condition. Document assessment data, attempted or actual correspondence with physician, and physician's response in the medical record. Review of the facility policy Nursing Documentation reviewed 9/27/23 and 3/27/24, indicated to provide an accurate method for demonstrating that care had been provided which reflects current standards or practice, meets resident needs and reflects compliance with state, federal, and provider requirements. Changes in residents' condition or significant resident care issues must be noted and charted until the resident's condition is stabilized ot the situation is resolved.
