Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, staff interview, medical record review, and review of a drug manufacturer's
administration instructions, the facility failed to administer medications without a significant medication error
by not priming an insulin pen prior to administration. This affected one (#53) of three residents reviewed

census was 66.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #53's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/23/21. Diagnoses included
diabetes mellitus type II.
Review of the physician order, dated 07/26/21, revealed Resident #53 was ordered Lantus insulin 17 units
subcutaneously (SQ) daily in the morning.
Observation on 07/27/21 at 8:00 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #344 administering
Resident #53's morning medications. Resident #53's scheduled Lantus insulin was not available in the

administered the 17 units of insulin into Resident #53's right upper arm without priming the insulin pen

Interview on 07/27/21 at 8:24 A.M. with LPN #344 verified she did not prime the insulin pen prior to dialing
up the ordered 17 units of insulin or prior to administering the dosage to Resident #53.
Review of the Lantus insulin pen manufacturer's instructions, dated 2020, revealed after attaching the
needle to the insulin pen, the user should perform a safety test where the user dials a test dose of two units
and press the button all the way to check and see if insulin comes out of the needle. If no insulin comes out,
repeat the test two more times. After the insulin was verified to come out of the needle, the user can then
dial the required dose. A safety test should always be performed before each injection.
