F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, interview, review of the manufacturer's directions, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate of 5% (percent) or less. This finding affected two residents (Resident's #49 and #39) of six residents observed for medication administration. A total of 27 medications were administered with three errors for a medication error rate of 11.1%. The facility census was 65. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #49's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes and hypoglycemia. Review of Resident #49's physician orders revealed an order dated 11/18/21 for Lantus (long-acting insulin) KwikPen inject 34 units subcutaneously (SQ) one time a day for diabetes and an order dated 07/05/22 for Humalog (short-acting insulin) KwikPen inject 15 units SQ with meals related to diabetes. Observation on 08/01/22 at 8:16 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) # 92 of Resident #49's medication administration revealed she administered seven medications with two errors. She administered the Lantus long-acting insulin and the Humalog short acting insulin via KwikPens and she did not prime the pens with a two unit air shot per the manufacturer's directions prior to dialing up the required dose of insulin and administering the insulin medications to Resident #49. Interview on 08/01/22 at 8:26 A.M. with LPN #92 indicated she was unaware she was required to prime Resident #49's Lantus and Humalog KwikPens prior to dialing up the correct dosage and administering the insulin medications to the resident. Review of the Lantus Manufacturer directions, revised 12/20, indicated to check the label on the insulin, check the appearance of the insulin, wipe the rubber seal with alcohol, remove the protective seal from the new needle, line up the needle with the pen and always perform the safety test before each injection. Performing the safety test ensures that an accurate dose was received and the pen and needle work properly while removing air bubbles. Take off the outer needle cap and keep it to remove the used needle after injection. Take off the inner needle cap and discard it. Hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards, dial the pen to two units and press the injection button all the way in. Check if insulin comes out of the needle tip. Select the dose and administer the insulin. Review of the Humalog Manufacturer directions, dated 11/19, indicated to pull the pen cap straight off, wipe the rubber seal with an alcohol swab, check the liquid in the pen for color, select a new needle, pull off the paper tab from the outer needle shield, push the capped needle straight onto the pen and twist the needle on until it is tight pull off the outer needle shield, prime before each injection by selecting two units, hold your pen with the needle point up, tap the cartridge holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top, push the dose knob in until it stops and the 0 can be seen. You should see insulin at the tip of the needle. Select the dosage of the insulin to be administered and administer it to the resident. 2. Review of Resident #39's medical record revealed he was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including traumatic brain injury and gastrostomy status.
