interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure competency of the Professional Nursing staff for 1
of 6 (R5) reviewed for Professional Standards in the sample of 50. This failure has the potential to affect all
128 Residents residing in the facility.The immediate jeopardy began on 9/10/25, when V6, Registered
Nurse (RN), failed to appropriately respond to an emergent medical event, when R5 displayed symptoms of
medical distress and presented with a blood glucose level of 33. V6 failed to follow physician's order of
administering Baqsimi (Glucagon) for low blood sugar, and instead disassembled prefilled Epinephrine and
Narcan cartridges, combining pieces of both medication cartridges, and administered Epinephrine injection
nasally. On 9/16/25 at 2:15 PM, V1, Administrator, and V2, Director of Nursing (DON), were notified of the
Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed by interview, observation, and record review, the Immediate
Jeopardy was removed on 9/17/25, but noncompliance remains at a Level 2 because additional time is
needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. The Findings Include:

AM, V6, Registered Nurse (RN), stated, I went in to see (R5) yesterday morning to check his blood sugar
and he was lethargic, would only respond by opening his eyes when his name was called. His blood sugar
was 49 at that time so I gave him some Ensure to drink, then got him some Glucagon spray from the E-Kit
(Emergency Kit) and gave that to him. I then rechecked (R5's) blood sugar and it had dropped and was now
reading 33. I called 911 to transport (R5) to the hospital. I do not recall giving (R5) anything else, including
any injections. (V27, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was the other nurse helping me with (R5).On 9/11/25
at 11:55 AM, V27, LPN, stated, (V6) asked me to come help her with (R5) and that she needed the E-Kit. I
went and got the E-Kit and handed her a long tube-looking thing and a nasal spray. I saw her take out the
long tube looking thing, then put the top from the nasal spray on the long tube thing and she gave it to (R5)
in his nose. I did not give any drugs. If that was an Epi Pen, then yes, I handed it to her and that was my
fault. I did an incident report, reported it to the NP (Nurse Practitioner) and the DON (Director of
Nursing).On 9/11/25 at 12:00 PM, V26, NP, stated, I was just getting to the facility when EMS was taking
(R5) out. (R5) had his eyes open when he left here. V27 then came and told me that (V6) gave (R5) Epi by
accident. I do not see how they could have given the Epi with a Glucagon Nasal Spray cap on it. (R5)
probably did not even get it, which is why his blood sugar never went up for them. It was a med error and a
mistake.On 9/11/25 at 1:41 PM, V28, Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic (EMTP), stated, When we
arrived at the facility, we had a male unresponsive with a blood sugar of 42. We started an IV (intravenous
catheter) and administered D10. When we were moving him from his bed to our stretcher, we found an Epi
Pen with a Narcan nasal spray cap on top of it. When I asked the nurse about it, she said she gave him
Glucagon. I had two other firefighters look at it and they both verified that it was an Epi Pen. Again, the
nurse stated that she knew she gave Glucagon. We put the resident on the stretcher and left the facility and
took him to the ER (emergency room). Upon our arrival to the ER, the resident was slightly more alert to
verbal stimuli, and his glucose was up to 136. I told the ER and my EMS director about the Epi Pen, and
they were going to report it.R5's Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Report, dated 9/10/25, documents in
part: Arrived on scene, made entry into the facility and into pt (patient) room to find male pt lying in bed
unresponsive. Nurse states pt is diabetic and his blood sugar was low. Nurse states she gave pt internasal
glucagon and placed him on a non-rebreather mask with 15 LPM (liters per minute) of O2 (oxygen). No
staff is bedside with pt upon arrival. ALS (advanced life support) had arrived first on scene. Obtained blood
glucose level via finger prick method. Value of 42. Started 18g (gauge) angiocath in pt left hand and flushed
with saline before locking and securing with Tegaderm. Pt skin is warm and clammy at this time. Started
250 ML (milliliter) bag of D10% (glucose solution) using macro drip tubing. While D10 is infusing, pt is
moved to the stretcher from his bed using bed sheet and assistance from FD (fire department). While
moving pt, an Epi Auto Injector pen is found in pt. bed. Placed on top was the nasal piece used for
internasal Narcan. When staff nurse was asked why the Epi pen was in the bed, she stated that it was
Glucagon, and she had administered it in an attempt to raise pt glucose level. Pen was handed to FD for
confirmation. FD also confirmed that pen is an Epi pen and not Glucagon. Nurse continues to argue that it

Glucagon, and it must have been placed in the wrong spot, and she did not confirm before
administration.On 9/11/25 at 9:50 AM, V24, Master Social Work (MSW)/Licensed Social Worker (LSW),
stated, I was working yesterday when (R5) arrived in the ER. The EMS guys gave us an Epi Pen that had a
Narcan Cap from a intranasal administration unit on top of it and was told that the nurse at the facility gave
this to (R5). The EMS told the ER staff that (R5) was unresponsive upon their arrival to the facility, they
gave some D10 solution to raise his glucose and upon arrival to the ER, (R5) was awake, alert but still
groggy. (R5) was admitted to the ICU for observation.On 9/11/25 at 12:05 PM, V6, RN, stated, I have to tell
you what happened. I lied to you earlier. (V27) handed me the Epi Pen and Glucagon Nasal Spray and I did
not even look at them to see what they were. I put the cap on the pen and tried to give it to (R5). Honestly, I
don't even know if he got any of it. So much was going on at that time and the next thing I know, EMS was
here and took over. I did give the EMS guys the Epi Pen and Nasal Spray. I'm not that familiar with these
types of drugs. This was my first med error, and I feel horrible, especially about lying about it.On 9/11/25 at
2:40 PM, V2, DON, stated, There are tackle boxes with emergency medications in it, including Epi Pens,
Narcan, and Baqsimi Nasal Powder. The nurses would grab this for emergency situations.On 9/15/25 at
10:25 AM, V3, LPN, stated, If I found a resident who was unresponsive, I would check their blood sugar,
look for orders, and grab the medication that you put up their nose. I can't think of the name of it right now,
but if I see it, I will know what it is. It is kept in the tackle box E-Kit. I would not give Epi because it is not an
allergic reaction, nor would I give Narcan because it is not an overdose.On 9/15/25 at 10:30 AM, V11, LPN,
stated, If I found one of my residents unresponsive, I would check their vital signs and blood sugar. If the
blood sugar is low and they are not able to take something by mouth, I would go to the E-Kit and get the
Glucagon nasal spray and administer it to them to get their blood sugar up. I would not give Epi for
something like this because it is not an allergic reaction.On 9/15/25 at 10:50 AM, V2, DON, brought in an
Epi Pen and a Narcan Nasal Spray and attempted to demonstrate how V6 was administering R5's
medication. V2 stated, I doubt that he got any of the medication the way she put this together. I feel this is
simply incompetent nursing.On 9/15/25 at 2:13 PM, V29, Physician/Medical Director, stated, I was only
notified of (R5's) hypoglycemic episode and that he was sent to the hospital. No one mentioned to me that
he was not given his glucose and was given something else. I have standing orders for Glucagon to be
given and that should have been given. When told of V6 giving R5 an Epi Pen with the Narcan top and
spraying up R5's nose, V29 stated, Oh my God, that is unbelievable. I have never heard of such a thing.
This could have been detrimental to (R5) and could have been fatal to him. He didn't get his Glucagon that
was ordered, and his glucose could have continued to drop. This is truly unbelievable; the lack of
competency could have subsequently determined (R5's) outcome, which could have been death in this
case. I would expect the Nurse to administer medications as per my orders, and per appropriate route.On
9/11/25 at 2:10 PM, V2, DON, stated, I would expect the nurses to use the five rights of medication
administration and to follow physician orders.V2's Investigation, dated 9/11/25, documents, Nursing
Description: Nurse called into room and found resident's blood sugar to be 39. Blood sugar was retaken
and decreased to 33. Nurse then went to medication room to obtain Glucagon nasal spray and Narcan
nasal spray was given in error. Immediate action taken: NP was made aware of the Epi spray being given.
VS-120/70, 70, 18, 97.0. Nursing stayed with resident and 911 called to transport resident to ER via
stretcher. Resident was alert leaving the unit. V2 stated she is not finished with the investigation and will be
in-servicing the nurses.The Facility's Registered Nurse Job Description, dated 10/2024, documents in part

day-to-day nursing activities performed by nursing assistants. Such supervision must be in accordance with
current federal, state, and local standards, guidelines, and regulations that govern our facility, and as may
be required by the Director of Nursing to ensure that the highest degree of quality care is always
maintained. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Prepare and Administer medications as ordered by the
physician. Qualifications: Must be able to make independent decisions when circumstances warrant such
action. Must be knowledgeable of nursing and medical practices and procedures, as well as laws,
regulations, and guidelines that pertain to nursing care facilities.According to the NIH - National Library of
Medicine; SCOPE OF PRACTICE - Nursing Fundamentals - NCBI Bookshelf at
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK610819. The Scope of Practice refers to services a trained health
professional is deemed competent to perform and permitted to undertake according to the terms of their
professional nursing license. Nursing scope of practice provides a legal framework and structured guidance
for activities that practical nurses and registered nurses can perform based on their nursing license. Nurses
must also follow standards when providing nursing care. Standards are set by several organizations,
including your state's Nurse Practice Act, the American Nurses Association (ANA), agency policies and
procedures, and federal regulators. These standards help guide nursing actions with the intent that safe,
competent care is provided to the public. Nursing Process: The nursing process is a critical thinking model
based on a systematic approach to client-centered care. Nurses use the nursing process to perform clinical
reasoning and make clinical judgments when providing client care. The nursing process is based on the
Standards of Professional Nursing Practice established by the American Nurses Association (ANA). These
standards are authoritative statements of the actions and behaviors that all registered nurses (RNs),
regardless of role, population, specialty, and setting, are expected to perform competently. Education: The
registered nurse seeks knowledge and competence that reflects current nursing practice and promotes
futuristic thinking. Quality of Practice: The registered nurse contributes to quality nursing practice. Resource
Stewardship: The registered nurse utilizes appropriate resources to plan, provide, and sustain
evidence-based nursing services that are safe, effective, financially responsible, and judiciously used.The

haven't changed his dressing in a while and doesn't remember last time it was changed. R12 stated they
are supposed to change it every day. On 9/8/25 at 10:05 AM, R12 observed lying in bed with a new
dressing to his right medial calf and now dated 9/7/25. On 9/9/25 at 9:25 AM, V11, Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN), was advised that R12 needed wound care done. V11 stated she was not aware of R12's
dressing to his right leg. V2, Director of Nursing (DON), was standing at the med cart reviewing R12's
orders and stated that she did not see any orders for wound care or dressing changes to R12's Right Lower
Extremity (RLE). V11 removed the old dressing from R12's right medial calf which was dated 9/7/25 and
was not changed yesterday (9/8/25). V11 used NS to a 4X4 gauze and wiped R12's right medial calf wound
which measured at 14.2 CM (centimeters) long X 2 CM wide X 0 CM deep. R12 pulled his pants down and
assisted V11 to provide wound care to his scrotum/penis area. V11 cleansed R12 scrotum/penis area with
NS on 4X4 gauzes, then used the same gloves to get a sterile Q-Tip to apply medi-honey to site. V11
doffed her PPE when R12 mentioned his lateral calf has been oozing for about a week now, V11 examined
R12's lateral calf and there was a small open area noted with slight ooze and measured at 1.1 CM long X
0.3 CM wide X 0 CM deep. V11 wiped the wound with NS on 4X4 gauzes, then used the same gloves and
got a sterile Q-Tip to apply medi-honey to the open area and then applied a dressing. V11 stated she was
not aware of either of R12's wounds to his right leg and will have to let the doctor know. V11 failed to
change gloves when going from soiled areas, cleaning the wounds, to applying meta-honey and then a
dressing. On 9/9/25 at 2:25 PM, V9, LPN/Wound Nurse, stated I was off for the past week and was not
made aware of (R12's) wounds to his right calf. I did educate the nurses that if they find a new wound
during skin assessments, they are to put something (a wound care order) in place temporarily, then notify
me so I can assess the wound and determine if the appropriate wound care orders were in place. I would
notify the physician and discuss the wound and care needed. I did not know about (R12's) wounds until
today. Those are new wounds for (R12) because he did not have them the last time I took care of him. I
don't know how long he has had them or who found them. The DON (Director of Nursing) told me about
(R12's) wounds and that there were no orders in place to take care of them.On 9/15/25 at 9:35 AM, V2
stated I would expect the nurses and/or CNAs to report any new wounds or skin conditions to the wound
nurse in order to obtain physician orders for treatment.The Facility's Skin Condition Assessment and
Monitoring - Pressure and Non-Pressure, dated 4/2025, documents in part Purpose: To establish guidelines
for assessing, monitoring and documenting the presence of skin breakdown, pressure injuries and other
non-pressure skin conditions and assuring interventions are implemented. Guidelines: Pressure and other
ulcers (diabetic, arterial, venous) will be assessed and measured at least weekly by licensed nurse and
documented in the resident's clinical record. Non-pressure skin conditions (bruises/contusions, abrasions,
lacerations, rashes, skin tears, surgical wounds, etc.) will be assessed for healing progress and signs of
complications or infection weekly. A skin condition assessment and pressure ulcer risk assessment
(Braden) will be completed at the time of admission/readmission. The pressure ulcer risk assessment will
be updated quarterly and as necessary. Residents identified will have a weekly skin assessment by a
licensed nurse. A wound assessment will be initiated and documented in the resident chart when pressure
and/or other non-pressure skin conditions are identified by licensed nurse. Each resident will be

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to provide a resident in a crisis condition the
correct medication for 1 of 6 residents (R5) reviewed for medication errors in the sample of 50. This failure
resulted in the R5 not receiving his Glucagon when needed resulting in his blood sugar dropping to a
critical low and being transferred to the hospital and subsequently admitted to the Intensive Care Unit
(ICU).The Immediate Jeopardy began on 9/10/25, when V6, Registered Nurse (RN), failed to appropriately
respond to an emergent medical event, when R5 displayed symptoms of medical distress and presented
with a blood glucose level of 33. V6 failed to follow physician's order of administering Baqsimi (Glucagon)
for low blood sugar, and instead disassembled prefilled Epinephrine and Narcan cartridges, combining
pieces of both medication cartridges, and administered Epinephrine injection nasally. On 9/16/25 at 2:15
PM, V1, Administrator, and V2, Director of Nursing (DON), were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The
surveyor confirmed by interview, observation, and record review, the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on

Nurse (RN), stated, I went in to see (R5) yesterday morning to check his blood sugar and he was lethargic,
would only respond by opening his eyes when his name was called. His blood sugar was 49 at that time so
I gave him some Ensure to drink, then got him some Glucagon spray from the E-Kit (Emergency Kit) and
gave that to him. I then rechecked (R5's) blood sugar and it had dropped and was now reading 33. I called
911 to transport (R5) to the hospital. I do not recall giving (R5) anything else, including any injections. (V27,
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was the other nurse helping me with (R5).On 9/11/25 at 11:55 AM, V27,
LPN, stated, (V6) asked me to come help her with (R5) and that she needed the E-Kit. I went and got the
E-Kit and handed her a long tube-looking thing and a nasal spray. I saw her take out the long tube looking
thing, then put the top from the nasal spray on the long tube thing and she gave it to (R5) in his nose. I did
not give any drugs. If that was an Epi Pen, then yes, I handed it to her and that was my fault. I did an
incident report, reported it to the NP (Nurse Practitioner) and the DON (Director of Nursing).On 9/11/25 at
1:41 PM, V28, Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic (EMTP), stated, When we arrived at the facility,
we had a male unresponsive with a blood sugar of 42. We started an IV (intravenous catheter) and
administered D10. When we were moving him from his bed to our stretcher, we found an Epi Pen with a
Narcan nasal spray cap on top of it. When I asked the nurse about it, she said she gave him Glucagon. I
had two other firefighters look at it and they both verified that it was an Epi Pen. Again, the nurse stated that
she knew she gave Glucagon. We put the resident on the stretcher and left the facility and took him to the
ER (emergency room). Upon our arrival to the ER, the resident was slightly more alert to verbal stimuli, and
his glucose was up to 136. I told the ER and my EMS director about the Epi Pen, and they were going to
report it.R5's Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Report, dated 9/10/25, documents in part: Arrived on
scene, made entry into the facility and into pt (patient) room to find male pt lying in bed unresponsive.
Nurse states pt is diabetic and his blood sugar was low. Nurse states she gave pt internasal glucagon and
placed him on a non-rebreather mask with 15 LPM (liters per minute) of O2 (oxygen). No staff is bedside
with pt upon arrival. ALS (advanced life support) had arrived first on scene. Obtained blood glucose level
via finger prick method. Value of 42. Started 18g (gauge) angiocath in pt left hand and flushed with saline
before locking and securing with Tegaderm. Pt skin is warm and clammy at this time. Started 250 ML
(milliliter) bag of D10% (glucose solution) using macro drip tubing. While D10 is infusing, pt is moved to the
stretcher from his bed using bed sheet and assistance from FD (fire department). While moving pt, an Epi
Auto Injector pen is found in pt. bed. Placed on top was the nasal piece used for internasal Narcan. When
staff nurse was asked why the Epi pen was in the bed, she stated that it was Glucagon, and she had
administered it in an attempt to raise pt glucose level. Pen was handed to FD for confirmation. FD also
confirmed that pen is an Epi pen and not Glucagon. Nurse continues to argue that it is Glucagon, and it
must have been placed in the wrong spot, and she did not confirm before administration.On 9/11/25 at 9:50
AM, V24, Master Social Work (MSW)/Licensed Social Worker (LSW), stated I was working yesterday when
(R5) arrived in the ER. The EMS guys gave us an Epi Pen that had a Narcan Cap from a intranasal
administration unit on top of it and was told that the nurse at the facility gave this to (R5). The EMS told the
ER staff that (R5) was unresponsive upon their arrival to the facility, they gave some D10 solution to raise
his glucose and upon arrival to the ER, (R5) was awake, alert but still groggy. (R5) was admitted to the ICU
for observation.On 9/11/25 at 12:05 PM, V6, RN, stated, I have to tell you what happened. I lied to you
earlier. (V27) handed me the Epi Pen and Glucagon Nasal Spray and I did not even look at them to see
what they were. I put the cap on the pen and tried to give it to (R5). Honestly, I don't even know if he got any
of it. So much was going on at that time and the next thing I know, EMS was here

and took over. I did give the EMS guys the Epi Pen and Nasal Spray. I'm not that familiar with these types of
drugs. This was my first med error, and I feel horrible, especially about lying about it.On 9/11/25 at 2:40 PM,
V2, DON, stated, There are tackle boxes with emergency medications in it, including Epi Pens, Narcan, and
Baqsimi Nasal Powder. The nurses would grab this for emergency situations.On 9/15/25 at 10:25 AM, V3,
LPN, stated, If I found a resident who was unresponsive, I would check their blood sugar, look for orders,
and grab the medication that you put up their nose. I can't think of the name of it right now, but if I see it, I
will know what it is. It is kept in the tackle box E-Kit. I would not give Epi because it is not an allergic
reaction, nor would I give Narcan because it is not an overdose.On 9/15/25 at 10:30 AM, V11, LPN, stated
If I found one of my residents unresponsive, I would check their vital signs and blood sugar. If the blood
sugar is low and they are not able to take something by mouth, I would go to the E-Kit and get the
Glucagon nasal spray and administer it to them to get their blood sugar up. I would not give Epi for
something like this because it is not an allergic reaction.On 9/11/25 at 2:10 PM, V2 stated I would expect
the nurses to use the five rights of medication administration and follow the physician orders.On 9/15/25 at
10:50 AM, V2 brought in an Epi Pen and a Narcan Nasal Spray and attempted to demonstrate how V6 was
administering R5's medication. V2 stated I doubt that he got any of the medication the way she put this
together. I feel this is simply incompetent nursing.V2's Investigation, dated 9/11/25, documents Nursing
Description: Nurse called into room and found resident's blood sugar to be 39. Blood sugar was retaken
and decreased to 33. Nurse then went to medication room to obtain Glucagon nasal spray and Narcan
nasal spray was given in error. Immediate action taken: NP was made aware of the Epi spray being given.
VS-120/70, 70, 18, 97.0. Nursing stayed with resident and 911 called to transport resident to ER via
stretcher. Resident was alert leaving the unit. V2 stated she is not finished with the investigation and will be
in-servicing the nurses.On 9/15/25 at 2:13 PM, V29, Physician/Medical Director, stated I was only notified
of (R5's) hypoglycemic episode and that he was sent to the hospital. No one mentioned to me that he was
not given his glucose and was given something else. I have standing orders for Glucagon to be given and
that should have been given. When told of V6 giving R5 an Epi Pen with the Narcan top and spraying up
R5's nose, V29 stated Oh my God, that is unbelievable. I have never heard of such a thing. This could have
been detrimental to (R5) and could have been fatal to him. He didn't get his Glucagon that was ordered,
and his glucose could have continued to drop. This is truly unbelievable; the lack of competency could have
subsequently determined (R5's) outcome, which could have been death in this case. I would expect the
Nurse to administer medications as per my orders, and per appropriate route.According to the NIH National Library of Medicine; Nursing Rights of Medication Administration - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf at
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560654/. Nursing Rights of Medication Administration: Nurses have
a unique role and responsibility in medication administration, in that they are frequently the final person to
check to see that the medication is correctly prescribed and dispensed before administration. It is standard
during nursing education to receive instruction on a guide to clinical medication administration and
upholding patient safety known as the ‘five rights' or ‘five R's' of medication administration. The five

nurses can perform based on their nursing license. Nurses must also follow standards when providing
nursing care. Standards are set by several organizations, including your state's Nurse Practice Act, the
American Nurses Association (ANA), agency policies and procedures, and federal regulators. These
standards help guide nursing actions with the intent that safe, competent care is provided to the public.
Nursing Process: The nursing process is a critical thinking model based on a systematic approach to
client-centered care. Nurses use the nursing process to perform clinical reasoning and make clinical
judgments when providing client care. The nursing process is based on the Standards of Professional
Nursing Practice established by the American Nurses Association (ANA). These standards are authoritative
statements of the actions and behaviors that all registered nurses (RNs), regardless of role, population,
specialty, and setting, are expected to perform competently. Education: The registered nurse seeks
knowledge and competence that reflects current nursing practice and promotes futuristic thinking. Quality of
Practice: The registered nurse contributes to quality nursing practice. Resource Stewardship: The registered
nurse utilizes appropriate resources to plan, provide, and sustain evidence-based nursing services that are
safe, effective, financially responsible, and judiciously used.According to the NIH - National Library of
Medicine; Nursing Rights of Medication Administration - Stat Pearls - NCBI Bookshelf at
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/book/NBK/560654/ documents in part Nursing Rights of Medication
Administration. Nurses have a unique role and responsibility in medication administration, in that they are
frequently the final person to check to see that the medication is correctly prescribed and dispensed before
administration. It is standard during nursing education to receive instruction on a guide to clinical
medication administration and upholding patient safety known as the ‘five rights' or ‘five R's' of medication
administration. The five traditional rights in the traditional sequence include: Right Patient, Right Drug, Right
Route, Right Time, and Right Dose. The Facility's Medication Administration Policy, dated 10/2024,
documents in part Administration of Medications: Medications must be administered in accordance with a
Physician's order, e.g., the Right Medication, Right Dosage, Right Route, and Right Time. The Immediate
