F 0760 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 medical record review, observation, staff interview, review of medication manufacturer instructions, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure a staff member primed (performed a safety test) when using an insulin pen-injector, resulting in a significant medication error. This affected one (Resident #34) of five residents observed for medication administration. The facility census was 111. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of Resident #34's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/04/24. Diagnoses included type one diabetes mellitus. Review of an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #34 was cognitively intact and received insulin injections. Review of the physician orders revealed an order dated 10/27/24 for Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector 100 unit per milliliter (long-acting insulin) inject 38 units subcutaneously two times a day for diabetes mellitus. Observation on 11/06/24 at 8:42 A.M. revealed Registered Nurse (RN) #313 removed Resident #34's Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector from the medication cart and applied a new needle. RN #313 then entered Resident #34's room. RN #313 dialed 38 units on the Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector. RN #313 did not prime the Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector needle before dialing the dose. RN #313 then administered the insulin into Resident #34's right upper arm. During an interview on 11/06/24 at 8:48 A.M., RN #313 confirmed she did not prime Resident #34's Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector needle before administering the ordered dose. Review of the manufacturer instructions for the Lantus SoloStar Subcutaneous Solution Pen-injector revealed after attaching a needle to the pen, a safety test must be performed. A safety test was completed by: · Dial a test dose of two units. · Hold pen with the needle pointing up and lightly tap the insulin reservoir so the air bubbles rise to the top of the needle. This will help you get the most accurate dose. · Press the injection button all the way in and check to see that insulin comes out of the needle. The dial will automatically go back to zero after you perform the test. · (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366185 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 4 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 366185 B.
