Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, staff interview, medical record review, review of a medication manufacturer package insert, the facility failed to ensure residents received insulin as ordered which resulted in a significant medication error. This affected one (#13) of three residents observed during medication administration. The facility identified 10 residents with orders for insulin in a facility census of 44.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: Review of Resident #13's medical record revealed an admission date of 10/26/18. Diagnoses included epilepsy, iron deficiency anemia, heart failure, primary osteoarthritis, insomnia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, type two diabetes mellitus, post-traumatic stress disorder, and major depressive disorder. Review of Resident #13's most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact. Review of Resident #13's current physician orders as of 12/18/24 revealed the resident was to receive Novolog insulin eight (8) units subcutaneously (SQ) before meals for blood sugar control. Review of an additional order for Novolog insulin per sliding scale was to be administered SQ with meals and at bed time. Observation and interview on 12/18/24 at 8:14 A.M. of Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #701 administering medication for Resident #13 revealed the nurse obtained a blood glucose level for Resident #13 of 224 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), which required four (4) units of Novolog insulin from the sliding scale order. LPN #701 stated she would be administering 12 units total of Novolog insulin to Resident #13. LPN #701 then was observed to attach an administration needle to the insulin administration pen, turned the dose selector dial to 12 units, and proceed to administer the insulin to Resident #13 without first priming the Novolog insulin administration pen. Interview on 12/18/24 at 8:37 A.M. with LPN #701 confirmed she administered the ordered 12 units of Novolog insulin to Resident #13, but did not prime the pen needle prior to administration. Review of the Novolog FlexPen package insert, dated 2023, revealed before each injection, to avoid injecting air and ensure proper dosing, turn the dose selector to two (2), hold the Novolog FlexPen with the needle pointing up, and press the push button all the way in until the dose selector returns to zero (0). A drop of insulin should be seen at the tip of the needle. The dose selector then can be dialed to the correct dose of insulin for administration. Review of the facility policy titled, Administering Medications, revised 2012, revealed medications will be administered in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00160513 and Complaint Number OH00160203.
