It was reported by WBGH (Sandy Rochon) that 2 fingerstick blood glucose results on Morgan\'s assigned patients were not found in the Accucheck machine used. Morgan had reported blood glucose results on a paper worksheet for the nurses. When the staff attempted to download the results from the machine, Morgan\'s patients were not found, although all other results performed were able to be downloaded. In addition, when the fingersticks were repeated by the staff there was a substantial difference in the results obtained from what Morgan reported. Mary Beth Pacuska and I met with Morgan regarding same. Morgan insists that she did perform the blood glucose on each of the patients as ordered and the results she wrote were correct. She provided each detail of the period of time this was done but stated that no one directly observed her except patients (she had been observed successfully by her instructor in the past). Several phone conversations were held with Mindy Belleman (Administrative Director), and Sandy Rochon. It was reported that all attempts to determine how these results could be missed were investigated including removing the machines from service for review, and contacting the manufacturer. The patients were also questioned but found to be unreliable in their response. Although there was no reported harm to the patients, the hospital found the situation concerning enough that Morgan will not be permitted to attend clinical at WBGH. Morgan was counseled at length and placed on probation. To this point she continues to insist that the blood glucose was taken and reported as ordered. In addition, Mr. Kaslavage states that he did observe Morgan enter the room with the equipment, has observed her perform the procedure correctly prior to this, and has not noted any problems while supervising her in the clinical area. Because there remains a question regarding a malfunctioning accucheck machine, she will be placed into another facility on probationary status. She readily acknowledges the seriousness of the situation although clearly states she did not act improperly. At this time the student will be allowed to continue in a clinical setting.
