F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on record review, observation, interview and manufacturer's instruction review, the facility failed to prime an insulin pen prior to administration, resulting in a signficant medication error. This affected one (Resident #23) of five residents observed during medication pass. The facility census was 39. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of medical record for Resident #23 revealed admission date of 10/11/23 with diagnoses including type two diabetes. During an observation on 05/29/24 at 11:27 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #115 was preparing to give Resident #23 six units of lispro insulin. LPN #115 dialed up six units of insulin without priming the insulin pen. LPN #115 then administered the insulin to Resident #23. During an interview on 05/29/24 at 11:35 A.M., LPN #115 verified she did not prime the insulin pen prior to administering the insulin to Resident #23. LPN #115 stated she did not know that she was supposed to prime the pen. Review of insulin lispro KwikPen insert on accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label revealed prime before each injection. Priming your pen means removing the air from the needle and cartridge that may collect during normal use and ensures that the pen is working correctly. If you do not prime before each injection, you may get too much or too little insulin. To prime the pen, turn the dose knob to select 2 units. Hold the pen with the needle pointing up, tap the cartridge holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top, continue holding the pen with needle pointing up. Push the dose knob in until it stops, and 0 is seen in the dose window. Hold the dose knob in and count slowly to 5. You should see insulin at the tip of the needle. If you do not see insulin, repeat the priming steps, but not more than 4 times. If you still do not see insulin, change the needle and repeat the priming steps.
