Interviews and record review determined that the facility centrally stored the blood glucose monitor for R1. Staff reported that the sensor routinely replaced every 10 days. On the scheduled replacement date, R1 refused to wear the device. LPA confirmed that R1 did not have a physician's order or prescription for the blood glucose monitor.
