LPN #551 administered 28 units of Humulin N, instead of Humulin R, due to the pharmacy sending one vial of Humulin N and one Humulin N Kwikpen. The pharmacy did not send any Humulin R insulin for Resident #98. Once the medication error was recognized, LPN #551 reported the error to her supervisor and the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP).
