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.

Interview on 06/30/25 at 9:56 A.M. with LPN #309 confirmed she did not prime the NovoLog FlexPen
insulin pen device before 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.
