Based on observation, resident and staff interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure comfortable and safe temperatures were maintained throughout the facility when temperatures exceeded 95 degrees Fahrenheit (F) in resident rooms. This affected all ten residents (#01, #02, #03, #04, #05, #06, #07, #108, #109 and #158) residing in the facility. The facility census was 10. Findings include: Interview with Resident #04 on 06/29/25 at 9:50 A.M. revealed it was hot in her room. Observation on 06/29/25, beginning at 10:00 A.M., with Director of Plant Operations (DPO) #306 revealed the following ambient room temperatures on the second floor of the facility, where all 10 of the facility's residents resided: the dining room was 89.2 degrees Fahrenheit (F), the 200 hallway was 88.5 degrees F, Resident #01 and Resident #03's room was 93.7 degrees F, Resident #02's room was 94.6 degrees F, Resident #04's room was 82.5 degrees F, Resident #05's room was 94.6 degrees F, Resident #06's room was 94.6 degrees F, Resident #07's room was 91.2 degrees F, Resident #108's room was 89 degrees F, Resident #109's room was 91.7 degrees F, and Resident #158's room was 92.8 degrees F.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on medical record review, observation, staff interview, and review of medication manufacturer instructions, the facility failed to ensure insulin pens were primed prior to administration. This affected two (#4 and #7) of three residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 10. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #4 revealed an admission date of 10/05/25, with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (stroke) without residual deficits, diabetes mellitus type II, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 06/07/25 for Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-Injector (insulin) 100 units per milliliter u/ml, inject 56 units subcutaneously two times a day related to type II diabetes mellitus with other specified complications. Observation of Resident #4's medication administration on 06/30/25 at 9:23 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #309 prepared the resident's insulin for administration. LPN #309 attached a new needle to a Lantus Solostar insulin pen device and dialed to 56 units. LPN #309 did not prime the Lantus Solostar insulin pen device before administering the insulin Resident #4. Interview on 06/30/25 at 9:56 A.M. with LPN #309 verified she did not prime Resident #4's Lantus Solostar insulin pen prior to administration. Review of the manufacture instructions for the Lantus Solostar insulin pen device revealed to always perform the safety test (priming) before each injection to ensure accurate dosage by ensuring the pen and needle worked properly and removal of air bubble. To complete the safety check, the instructions indicated to select a dose of two units by turning the dosage selector clockwise, 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, tap the insulin reservoir so that any air bubbles rise up towards the needle, press the injection button all the way in, and check if insulin comes out of the needle tip. Further review revealed to perform safety tests before using the pen until insulin is seen coming out of the needle tip. If insulin is not seen before administering the dose, an underdose or no insulin at all could be administered, potentially causing high blood sugar. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #7 revealed an admission date of 05/16/25, with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus type II, and major depressive disorder. Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 06/10/25 for NovoLog FlexPen Subcutaneous Solution Cartridge (insulin) 100 u/ml, inject 10 units subcutaneously with meals related to type II diabetes mellitus without complications. Observation of Resident #7's medication administration on 06/30/25 at 9:46 A.M. revealed LPN #309 prepared the resident's insulin for administration. LPN #309 attached a new needle to a NovoLog FlexPen insulin pen device and dialed to 10 units. LPN #309 did not prime the NovoLog FlexPen prior to administering the insulin to Resident #7.

Review of the manufacturer instructions for the NovoLog FlexPen insulin pen device revealed to give an airshot (priming) before each injection. Before each injection, small amounts of air may collect in the cartridge during normal use. To avoid injecting air and ensure proper dosing, turn the dose selector to select two units, hold the insulin pen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge gently to make any air bubbles collect at the top of the cartridge, keep the needle pointing upwards, press the push-button all the way in until the dose selector returns to zero, a drop of insulin should appear at the needle tip, if not, change the needle and repeat the procedure no more than six times. If a drop of insulin is not seen after six times, do not use the insulin pen.
