Ensure one of seven sampled residents (Resident 4) received their scheduled dose of Lispro ([insulin]- a fast-acting medication that lowers the blood sugar) on time.

Findings: During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a readmission on [DATE]. Resident 4 ' s diagnoses included cerebral infarction ([stroke]- a condition where brain tissue dies due to a lack of blood flow), hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body), and diabetes (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing).

Resident 4 was dependent on staff for toileting, showering, and dressing.

The MAR indicated Resident 4 had Lispro scheduled for 1:00 p.m. The Lispro was showing in red. LVN2 stated red indicated a medication was late or not given. LVN2 stated she did not give the Lispro because she was busy. LVN2 stated the latest the medication should be given is 2:00 pm, otherwise it ' s late. LVN further stated this is a medication error. If you don ' t give the Lispro on time the blood sugar can go too high and cause the resident to be confused. This could become an emergency.
