Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the correct type of insulin was
administered to a resident. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for insulin administration in the
sample of 3. This past non-compliance occurred from 12/5/2025 -12/9/2025. The findings include: The
Facility Medication Correction Form, dated 12/5/25, states, Wrong insulin given, Novolog given instead of
Lantus. Insulin in wrong bag. Novolog in Lantus bag (looked at?) label on bag but didn't see pen wrong
place.On 1/20/26 at 11:00AM, V6 (LPN-Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, I was doing her insulin, her
8:00PM Lantus (Long-acting Insulin) dose supposed to be 40 units. The bag said Lantus and after I gave
the insulin, I noticed the pen was the wrong color- I gave Novolog (Fast acting insulin) instead. The Lantus
pen is gray. I got (V2- Director of Nursing) right away- he was working the floor on another wing, and we
sent (R1) to the hospital. (V2) took over my cart and did a training with me. We notified the Nurse
Practitioner. I checked the bag and it said Lantus, but it was the wrong pen in the bag.On 1/20/26 at 11:20
AM, V2 stated, It was on 12/5 at the HS (Bedtime) medication pass. I was working the back of the E wing,
and the nurse (on the D wing) gave (R1) Novolog instead of Lantus. She (V6) came and got me right away
and I went and we assessed (R1) and we did her blood sugar again. We called the Nurse Practitioner and
the Power of Attorney, and we sent the patient to the ER. The medication pass was still ongoing, so I took
over her cart, and I did a competency with her then and another one the next day. I did one 12/5, 12/6 and
12/7. I also did an in-service with all the nurses. Both insulins were in the same bag, and she took out the
wrong one. Each one should be in its own bag. (R1) came back from the hospital with no new orders and
she had no side effects from the error.R1's Progress Notes, dated 12/5/25 at 9:39 PM, stated, Resident
sent out to (Local Hospital) for evaluation and treatment related to blood glucose. Nurse notified Power of
Attorney, regarding resident transfer.Resident returned from (Local Hospital) at or around 04:05AM. No new
orders noted. Vitals 97.3, 81, 121/73, 18 95% and BS (Blood Sugar) 137. Resident awake in her room
engaging in ADLs.R1's Medication Administration Record shows she has orders for Lantus 40 units at
bedtime and Novolog per Sliding Scale (depending on her blood sugar) three times a day with meals. R1's
Hospital After Visit Summary shows R1's Point of Care Glucose was checked 9 times while in the
emergency room, however, there are no results listed. R1's Diagnosis is listed as Insulin Overdose,
accidental or unintentional, Hypoglycemia. R1 was monitored, provided education related to the signs and
symptoms of hypoglycemia, and sent back to the facility with no further orders. The facility policy entitled
Medication Pass Guidelines, dated 4/2019, states, Check the MDP (Multi-Dose Pen): Check the pharmacy
label against the eMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Record); Compare the medication name and
strength on the manufacturer label vs the pharmacy label. Prior to the survey date of 1/20/26, the facility
had taken the following actions to correct the noncompliance:Corrective actions were immediately
implemented, including competency retraining for the involved nurse (V6) on 12/5, 12/6 and 12/7.Facility
wide in-service education on medication administration and insulin safety on 12/5, 12/6 and
