(V5) is unable to recall which insulin she gave. Resident was closely monitored and did not appear to be in
any distress. Resident is alert and oriented during this entire situation. (V4) was notified, Medical Director
was notified, (V2, Director of Nurses) and (V1, Administrator) notified and (V11) notified and texted to notify.
Nurse was wrote up and educated. A written statement from V5 in this investigation documented,
Approximately 10pm on 9/30/25 I was at the medication cart getting meds (medications) together for (R1)
she was to also get insulin, Tresiba 30u which is a long-acting insulin. During the time of getting
medications together, I was interrupted by CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) multiple times. I got (R1)
medications ready along with the insulin. Went into room to get CBG (Capillary Blood Glucose), according
to her (trade name continuous monitoring glucose system) her blood sugar was 296, resulting in resident
receiving scheduled Tresiba 30u, I then gave her medications. I proceeded to gather the other residents'
medications and administer, when I got to (R3), he also received Tresiba at bedtime at this time it triggered
a memory that I believed I gave (R1) the wrong insulin. At approximately 11:30pm I asked to see her blood
sugar again and it had dropped to 135, I became concerned. At 12am, (V10, Registered Nurse) came in to
relieve me and I informed her of what I believed I had done. (V10) then went into (R1) room and checked
blood sugar and it had fallen to 70. I had checked it at approximately 11:40pm and it was 75. Her sugar was
dropping significantly, as a nursing measure because resident refused to eat, I gave her a glucagon pen to
bring sugar up. At 1am her sugar had risen to 125, when I left facility at 1:30am her sugar was 141. I spoke
with (V10) to contact me at home if resident became worse and I would return to the facility. I spoke with the
resident, she informed me that I told her I gave the wrong insulin, I had not told her that. I then explained
that I thought I might have when I was giving (R3) his Tresiba but was not sure. I realized I did when her
sugar continues to drop significantly. (R1) was very upset with me at this point. I went home and (V10)
called and explained the resident was very upset with me. She also let me know (R1) sugar was good. I
texted (V2 and V3, Assistant Director of Nurses), regarding the event and explained all that had transpired. I
then went into the facility in the morning to explain. This note is a result of that meeting with (V2 and V3).On
10/15/25 at 10am, R1 was alert and oriented to person and place but not time. R1 stated on 9/30/25,
around 8pm, V5 gave her 30 units of fast acting insulin instead of 30 units of the long-acting insulin that was
prescribed. R1 stated she is not sure if V5 told her this or not, but she knows it's true because her blood
glucose bottomed out shortly after receiving the insulin. R1 stated her blood sugar stabilized during the
morning hours of 10/1/25. R1 stated she has not seen V5 since then and she thinks V5 was fired.On
10/15/25 at 11:55am, V11(Power of Attorney for R1) stated he did not find out about the medication error
until R1 called him after 11:30am on the morning of 10/1/25. V11 stated he came to the facility before noon
on 10/1/25 and confronted V2 about the facility not contacting him when the error was discovered, and V2
did not have a reason as to why he had not been contacted immediately upon discovering the error.On
10/16/25 at 10:20am, V2 (Director of Nurses) stated V11 presented to the facility the morning of 10/1/25 as
R1 had informed him of what happened, so staff explained the situation to him in full. V2 stated staff should
have notified V4 and V11 at the time the error was discovered. V2 stated on 10/1/25 in the morning hours,
R1's blood sugar had stabilized, and no further action was needed and there were no adverse
consequences.On 10/16/25 at 11:45am, V4 (Physician) stated his understanding of the medication error is
that R1 received 30 units of fast acting insulin instead of 30 units of long-acting insulin as ordered. V4
stated staff gave R1 food and got her glucose level stabilized during the night, and R1's status was then
baseline. V4 stated he was notified about the error the next morning during office hours. V4 stated he is not
sure why the facility did not contact him at the time
