He said he told the nurse and she just walked away. Review of Medication Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #38 for 06/23/25 appeared to confirm that Resident #38 did not receive his evening insulin medication (Basaglar), although the documentation indicated that he had refused the medication on the evening of 6/23/25. Further review revealed that the 6/22/25 scheduled 7:00 P.M. long acting insulin dose was documented as having been administered on 06/23/25 at 3:08 A.M. The documentation further indicated that on 06/23/25, less than five hours later, Resident #38 received his morning short acting insulin dose at 8:36 A.M. as well as his morning dose of long acting insulin at 8:39 A.M. Resident #38 had a recorded blood sugar of 214 at that time and he was administered 4 units of the short acting insulin. Per the MAR documentation, the resident was not available in the afternoon of 06/23/25 and there was no recorded blood sugar that day until 4:24 P.M. when the resident's blood sugar was 283 and he was administered 6 units of insulin. Interview on 06/24/25 at 3:02 PM with Registered Nurse (RN) #122 verified that the MAR indicated Resident #38 received his 6/22/25 evening dose of long acting insulin at 03/23/25 at 3:08 A.M. RN #122 said that if the medication is scheduled at bedtime you want to make sure you give it at the time the resident goes to bed. She said she does not look at previous evening's MAR and therefore would not know a resident received the bedtime dose in the early morning. She said Resident #38 does go out sometimes (in daytime) and that if he was gone at the time he should have received his insulin and he returned near dinner time, she would hold off on the dose. Interview on 06/24/25 at 4:40 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the MAR indicated Resident #38 received his 06/22/25 evening dose of insulin the following morning at 3:08 A.M. The DON said the bedtime administration of insulin could be variable if the resident goes to bed at different times. The DON said he was not concerned with the dose being administered so late because he said the blood sugar test would've caught any issues. Regarding the missed insulin dose on the evening of 06/23/25, he said that perhaps the resident was out of the building. Interview on 06/24/25 at 5:05 PM with Regional Director of Clinical Services #252 confirmed an order for bedtime medication administration should be given between the hours of 7:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. He verified the MAR record appeared to indicate the 06/22/5 evening dose of insulin was administered on 06/23/25 at 3:08 A.M. and confirmed that time was outside the accepted parameters. Interview on 06/25/25 at 9:10 A.M. with Resident #38 confirmed he did not leave the property on the evening of 06/22/25. He admitted he had been outside the dining room at the smoking area with other residents. He said he thought he came in around 10:00 or 11:00 P.M. He said he did not remember what time he received the 06/22/25 evening dose of insulin and said he did not refuse his insulin the evening of 06/23/25 and had not left the building that night either. Interview on 06/25/25 at 3:29 P.M. with the DON who said he spoke with the nurse who administered the insulin dose that was recorded at 3:08 A.M. on 6/23/25. He said that she relayed she was having internet troubles and had administered the dose earlier. He said she did not record the actual administration time on paper and he said there were no other residents who had late medication administration charted.

Medication should be administered within one hour of prescribed time unless otherwise specified such as after meals. The policy stated that if resident is not in room or otherwise unavailable, the MAR may be flagged and the nurse will return to administer the dose. Review of the Safety Data Sheet for Bagaslar Insulin pen revised 07/2021 emphasized the importance of administering the medication at the same time every day. The safety data sheet stated that the median time to maximum effect of the medication is 12 hours. The data sheet warned that the risk for hypoglycemia is highest when the glucose lowering effect of the insulin is maximal and noted that changes in administration can increase risk. The safety data sheet also noted that symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia may be less pronounced in patients with longstanding diabetes.

Review of enhanced barrier precautions signage, undated, revealed everyone must, clean their hands, including before entering and when leaving the room and providers and staff must also wear gloves and a gown for high-contact resident care activities which includes dressing, bathing/showering, changing linens, providing hygiene and wound care (any skin opening requiring a dressing). Review of the Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy, dated December 2024, revealed enhanced barrier precautions are implemented to prevent the transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents during high-contact care activities. The policy specifies that this is achieved by wearing gowns and gloves during such care. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00166198.
