Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to administer a Physician prescribed medication as ordered.
This applies to one of three residents (R1) reviewed for medication administration in the sample of six.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
The facility face sheet shows R1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses to include Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus, congestive heart failure and hypertension. The facility assessment dated [DATE] shows R1 to be
cognitively intact and requires moderate assistance with his activities of daily living.
On 8/27/24 at 9:30 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said she was the nurse working the floor on 8/18/24. V2
said she was having a very busy night with another resident having a change in condition. V2 said she was
running behind in her bedtime medication pass and was also trying to give a shift to shift report to the
oncoming nurse. V2 said she looked at the Medication Administration Record (MAR) and saw the order for
R1's scheduled insulin and she prepared that and then drew up 40 units of R1's regular sliding scale insulin
and gave the injections to R1. V2 said she quickly realized she had given R1 his regular sliding scale insulin
when it wasn't needed and had also given 40 units. V2 said the scheduled insulin was for 40 units as well
and she must have had the 40 units in her head. V2 said R1's blood glucose level was 103 and R1 did not
need any sliding scale insulin. V2 said she never should have been trying to give a report to the oncoming
nurse while passing medications to the residents. V2 said when passing medications to a resident, the
nurses focus should be on the medications.
On 8/27/24 at 9:45 AM, V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) said she worked the day shift on 8/19/24 and
saw R1 in bed most of the day but did eat lunch and supper. V5 said R1 acted tired.
On 8/27/24 at 9:50 AM, V4 (Registered Nurse/RN) said she was working the day shift on 8/19/24, the day
after R1 received too much insulin. V4 said R1 was tired that day but was up for his meals. V4 said R1 had
one emesis in the hall as he was walking but denied feeling sick and only apologized for making a mess.
On 8/27/24 at 9:55 AM, V6 (CNA) said she was working the day shift on 8/19/24 and said R1 never
complained of anything but did vomit one time. R1's gait was steady and he felt bad for vomiting on the
floor.
On 8/27/24 at 10:06 AM, V3 (RN) said she was the nurse receiving report from V2 on the night of 8/18/24.
V3 said V2 had had a bad shift and was very busy and running late with the bed time medication pass. V2
was telling me about the change in another's resident's condition as she was drawing up

the insulins. V3 said V2 told her right away what she had done by giving R1 regular sliding scale insulin
when it wasn't necessary and that 40 units had been given. V3 said V2 called the Physician right away and
also called the POA (Power of Attorney).
On 8/27/24 at 12:20 PM, V1 (Administrator) said he expects the nursing staff to have their full attention on
the medication pass and never try to do anything else at the same time. V1 said he heard V2 was talking to
another nurse while preparing R1's medications.

per sliding scale. If blood sugar is 151-200 give 4 units, if blood sugar 201-250 give 6 units insulin, if blood
sugar is 251-300 give 8 units insulin, if blood sugar is 310-350 give 10 units insulin, if blood sugar is
351-400 give 12 units insulin and call the Physician if the blood sugar is over 401.
The Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated August 2024 shows R1's blood sugar was 103 at the
time of his insulin administration. (According to the sliding scale insulin instructions, R1 did not need any
sliding scale insulin.) The MAR shows the insulin was administered and to see R1's nursing progress note.
