Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was determined that
the facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans that included specific and individualized
interventions to address the care needs of residents for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R1),
relating to use of an insulin pump (wearable device that delivers insulin continuously to people with
diabetes).
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Comprehensive Care Plans dated 1/7/25, indicated that the comprehensive,
person-centered care plan included measurable objectives and time frames, to meet a resident's medical,
nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs and all services that are identified to meet the resident's
needs.
Review of the clinical record revealed that Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set, periodic assessment of care needs) dated 3/30/25,
indicated diagnoses of heart failure (heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should), diabetes (a long-term
condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar and using it for energy), and hypertension
(the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high). Section C0500 a Brief Interview for Mental
Status test (BIMS - is a screening test that aides in detecting cognitive impairment) indicated a score of 12,
moderately impaired cognition.
Review of Resident R1's hospital discharge transfer orders dated 3/25/25, indicated Humalog (insulin
Lispro) a rapid-acting insulin used to manage blood sugar) 100 units/milliliter injectable solution, injectable
via insulin pump - average daily dose is 90 units (max dose 100 units daily).
Review of Resident R1's current care plan on 4/29/25, indicated the resident has diabetes, with a goal of
remaining free from signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia (blood sugars too low/high) through the
next review date. Interventions included instruction to resident on signs and symptoms of
hypo/hyperglycemia, and Accu-Chek monitoring four times daily with regular insulin coverage. The care
plan failed to reflect the resident had an insulin pump that was infusing continuous insulin to the resident
twenty-four hours a day.
Review of Resident R1's progress note dated 3/31/25, at 12:03 p.m. indicated resident was wearing an
insulin pump. Resident was ordered to be given 90 units Humulin insulin to refill insulin pump; but the nurse
administered Humulin 90 units subcutaneously in error and was transferred to the hospital where he was
diagnosed with hypoglycemia and accidental insulin overdose.
There was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed to address Resident R1's specific and
individualized interventions and care needs related to the continuous use of an insulin pump.
Interview with the Director of Nursing and the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC)
Employee E9 on 4/30/25, at 12:20 p.m., and telephonic interview on 5/15/25, at 9:19 a.m. with the Nursing
Home Administrator confirmed that there was not a care plan for the insulin pump and that the facility failed
to develop comprehensive care plans that included specific and individualized

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of clinical records, facility policies and procedures and staff and resident interviews, it
was determined that the facility failed to ensure that one of three residents (Resident R1) received
treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice which resulted in actual harm to
Resident R1, who received a medication that was not given according to the physician's orders, resulting in
Resident R1 being overdosed on insulin (injectable diabetic medication) overdose and required treatment in
an acute care emergency department.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy Provision of Quality Care dated 1/7/25, indicated based on comprehensive
assessments, the facility will ensure that residents receive treatment and care by qualified persons in
accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plans and the
resident's choices. Qualified persons will provide the care and treatment in accordance with professional
standards of practice, the resident's care plan, and the resident's choices.
Review of the clinical record revealed that Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set, periodic assessment of care needs) dated 3/30/25,
indicated diagnoses of heart failure (heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should), diabetes (a long-term

(the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high). Section C0500 a Brief Interview for Mental
Status test (BIMS - is a screening test that aides in detecting cognitive impairment) indicated a score of 12,
moderately impaired cognition.
Review of Resident R1's Nursing admission evaluation dated 3/25/25, indicated Section D Skin Integrity chronic (something that lasts a long time, often three months or more) wound left foot, and right below the
knee amputation (surgical removal of a limb or part of a limb) incision with staples (used to close incisions
after surgery). The skin assessment failed to indicate the presence of an insulin pump.
Review of Resident R1's hospital discharge transfer orders dated 3/25/25, indicated Humalog (insulin
Lispro) a rapid-acting insulin used to manage blood sugar) 100 units/milliliter injectable solution, injectable
via insulin pump (wearable device that delivers insulin continuously to people with diabetes) - average daily
dose is 90 units (max dose 100 units daily).
Review of Resident R1's physician order dated 3/25/25, indicated Humulin R (insulin regular - a short
acting insulin used to manage blood sugar) injection solution, inject 90 units subcutaneously (injecting a
drug into the fatty tissue layer beneath the skin) one time a day for Diabetes Insulin Pump, max dose 100
units daily. Order was transcribed by LPN Employee E6, incorrectly from the written hospital discharge
orders, was not written clearly by the admitting nurse, the physician was not questioned by the admitting
nurse for clarification and the medication was not given according to the physician's written orders upon
discharge from the hospital.
Review of Resident R1's care plan on 4/29/25, failed to include a problem, goal, or interventions for care
and management of an insulin pump.

Interview on 4/29/25, at 9:44 a.m. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E2 indicated remembering
Resident R1 having an insulin pump, but admitted she only knows about the pump because a relative of
hers had one. Nobody at the facility taught her about an insulin pump. She believed the pump came with
insulin already inside of it. When asked how long the pump lasted before needing changed or refilled, LPN
Employee E2 indicated they last a long while and that she did not know what type of insulin pump Resident
R1 had or what it looked like.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 4/29/25, at 9:51 a.m. RN Employee E3 indicated she had not received education regarding an
insulin pump. Recalled Resident R1 had one because she found it beeping one day and notified the
resident's nurse. Indicated the pump looked like a very tiny infusion machine.
Interview on 4/29/25, at 9:54 a.m. LPN Employee E4 indicated she had not received education regarding
an insulin pump.
Interview on 4/29/25, at 9:57 a.m. LPN Employee E5 indicated not receiving training on an insulin pump,
but recalls a resident downstairs had one recently. It was LPN Employee E5's first day of orientation and
that's all they could recall.
Telephonic interview on 4/29/25, at 10:12 a.m. LPN Employee E6 indicated she only picked up one shift at
this facility. Recalled an admission that night during her shift of 7:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. When asked if she was
familiar with insulin pumps, she indicated not having experience with one or receiving education on it.
Recalled she arrived to work at 7:00 p.m. for her first shift at the facility and they told her she had a new
admission. She remembered calling the On Call doctor who said someone will come in and see the new
admission in the morning. She indicated she transcribed the orders from the hospital discharge transfer
orders. She indicated she did not receive any training at the facility, had to pass her medications and do the
admission on her own. She indicated she was not aware she entered the incorrect insulin type and that she
was not aware she wrote the insulin to be injected subcutaneously in error, rather than to refill the pump.
Review of Resident R1's progress note dated 3/31/25, at 12:03 p.m. indicated resident was wearing an
insulin pump. Resident was ordered to be given 90 units Humulin insulin to refill insulin pump; but the nurse
administered Humulin 90 units subcutaneously in error and was transferred to the hospital where he was
diagnosed with hypoglycemia and accidental insulin overdose.
Review of LPN Employee E6's employee file failed to include evidence of orientation to the facility,
Interview on 4/29/25, at 2:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed LPN Employee E6, and the facility
nursing staff were not trained on insulin pumps. Confirmed LPN Employee E6 was not trained on facility
processes, admission process, transcribing physician orders from hospital discharge papers, transcribed
the incorrect insulin type in the admission orders, and this resulted in a negative resident outcome.
On 4/29/25, at 2:03 p.m., the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Director of Nursing (DON) were
made aware that Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) existed, NHA was provided the IJ Template, that placed one
resident (Resident R1) in immediate jeopardy in which health and safety were impacted, and a corrective
action plan was requested.

review of facility policy and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
