Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to administer insulin according to
manufacturer's instructions. This applies to 1 of 2 residents reviewed for insulin administration in the sample
of 20.
The findings include:
R4's admission Record (Face Sheet) showed a current/recent admission date of 10/17/24. R4's face sheet
showed a diagnosis of Diabetes Type II.
R4's Order Summary Report as of 2/19/25 showed an order for 7 units of rapid-acting insulin (a medication
to control blood sugar in diabetic patients) to be given at mealtime, if the resident eats his meal. The order
showed the insulin was to be dispensed via a prefilled insulin pen.
On 2/18/25 at 11:59 AM, V3 Registered Nurse (RN) began preparation of R4's insulin pen. V3 removed the
pen's cap, attached a needle, dialed in 2 units, held the pen horizontally, and depressed the plunger. The
needle cap remained in place and the tip of the needle was not visible through the opaque cap (a drop of
insulin was not visible at the tip of the needle). V3 then dialed in 7 units of insulin, entered R4's room, wiped
is abdomen with alcohol, removed the needle cap, then injected the insulin. V3 held the insulin plunger for
less than 2 seconds, removed her thumb from the plunger, held the needle in his skin for less than 4
seconds, then removed the needle from his abdomen.
The rapid acting insulin manufacturer's instructions (revision 2/2023) showed, after the needle is attached,
small amounts of air may collect in the pen and to ensure proper dosing, Turn the dose selector to select 2
units. Hold the pen with the needle pointing up. Tap the top of the pen gently a few times to let any air
bubbles rise to the top. Hold the pen with the needle pointing up. Press and hold in the dose button until the
dose counter shows '0' .A drop of insulin should be seen at the needle tip. If you do not see a drop of insulin
repeat steps . The instructions showed, following the priming of the pen, the desired insulin dose should be
dialed in and the needle injected into the skin. The instructions continued, once the needle is injected the
dose button should be pressed and when the insulin dial reads zero, the dose button should continue to be
pressed and the needle left in the skin for a slow 6 count. The manufacturer instructions stated if the 6
count is not done with the dose button pressed, the full dose of insulin may not be administered.
On 2/19/25 at 9:33 AM, V2 Director of Nursing stated, nursing staff should be following manufacturer's
instructions. V2 said the purpose of priming the insulin pen is to ensure there are no air bubbles and the
resident receives their full dose of insulin. V2 said the purpose of keeping the dose button pressed is to
ensure the resident receives their full dose of insulin.

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to have a properly functioning lock for
the drawer containing the residents' emergency supply of controlled substances. This failure has the
potential to affect all residents in the facility.
The findings include:
On 2/18/25 at 10:45 AM, during medication room inspection, the drawer containing the emergency supply
of controlled substances was opened without a key. The lock was not functioning as intended.
On 2/18/25 at 10:45 AM, V3 Registered Nurse stated, I have not checked or accessed this drawer in a long
time.
The document Ekit Contents showed the drawer contained, but not limited to, fentanyl patches, morphine,
and oxycontin (all Schedule II narcotic pain medications.)
On 2/19/25 at 9:33 AM, V2 Director of Nursing stated controlled substance have to be double locked. V2
said the controlled substance boxes, within the locked drawer, have a keyed lock but they are not affixed to
the cabinet. V2 said controlled substances are double locked because they are more likely to be diverted
compared to other medications. V2 said the emergency supply of narcotics are available for all residents to
be used. V2 said if a provider order a controlled substance for a resident, the emergency supply would be
used until pharmacy could deliver the regular supply.
The facility's policy Controlled Substances (Revision 12/6/22) showed The facility complies with all laws,
regulations, and other requirements related to handling, storage, disposal, and documentation of controlled
medications . The facility's policy does not show controlled substances must be separately locked from
non-controlled medications in a permanently affixed container.
