Further observation revealed RN #801 informed Resident #75 he was administering the insulin injection, crouched down beside the resident in the dining room on the resident's left side, lifted her shirt and administered the resident's insulin in the left abdomen. Interview on 08/04/19 at 12:03 P.M. with RN #801 confirmed he did not provide Resident #75 with dignity and respect by lifting the resident's shirt in the dining room and administering the insulin with other residents observing the medication administration. 2.
