F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on medical record review, incident report review, staff interview, family interview, and policy review, the facility failed to notify a resident representative when there was a medication error requiring a need to alter treatment. This affected one of six sampled residents (Resident #56). The facility census was 55. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #56 revealed an admission date of 06/09/23 and diagnoses including hypertension, congestive heart failure, and lumbar fusion. Record review did not reveal a diagnosis of diabetes or any physician's orders for insulin. A Minimum Data Set assessment on 06/16/23 documented a brief interview for mental status score of 13, indicating intact cognition. Review of an incident report dated 06/15/23 revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #91 documented she had checked the wrong resident's blood sugar at 10:00 A.M. (result of 139 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and gave 18 units of lantus insulin (long acting insulin) to the wrong resident (Resident #56). The physician was notified on 06/15/23 at 10:20 A.M. The incident report further documented that a family member, son, was notified on 06/15/23 at 11:00 A.M.

No reactions to receiving the insulin were noted. It was documented that LPN #91 spoke with the nurse practitioner again who gave orders to check Resident #56's blood sugar again at 10:00 P.M. on 06/15/23, and at 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. on 06/16/23. There was no evidence in the medical record that the resident did not want her family notified of the medication error. A history and physical documented by the physician on 06/16/23 at 6:07 A.M. stated Resident #56, who was non-diabetic, was apparently given 18 units of Lantus insulin in error yesterday. The error was caught immediately. Incident report done. Patient, medical team, director of nursing, and administrator notified.
