include the appropriate accessory and cautionary instructions, and the expiration date when applicable on
one of two carts the Treatment Cart.
Treatment cart contained 1 vial Lantus insulin found open with no expiration date in the top drawer.
This failure could place residents receiving medications at risk for drug diversion, drug overdose, and
accidental or intentional administration to the wrong resident which could lead to exacerbation of their
disease process and deterioration in general health.

top-drawer holding insulin, found 1 vial of Lantus insulin with opened date penned [DATE], but without an
expiration date. LVN A was asked how many days after opening the insulin before it expires. LVN A replied,
This insulin expires 28 days after opening it. That means it is expired. When asked what possible negative
outcomes of giving a resident expired insulin could be, he responded, Negative outcome could be
deceased effectiveness resulting in elevated blood glucose. LVN A was asked who is responsible for putting
expiration dates on medications he stated the nurses are responsible. LVN A took the medication and
placed it with the medications to be destroyed.
During interview on [DATE] at 10:10AM LVN B was asked about the expiration date of Lantus insulin after
opening and stated, That insulin has 28 days after first use before it expires. Asked what possible negative
outcomes could be, she stated, If given after it expires it may not be effective in managing blood glucose
like it is supposed to. When asked who is responsible for putting expiration dates on medications, she
replied the nurses are.
During interview on [DATE] with ADON regarding the expired vial of Lantus insulin she stated, That should
have been caught. Pharmacy was here on Tuesday and went through the Medication Carts and the
Treatment Cart. They didn't say anything about any expiration dates. We haven't been putting on the
expiration dates, just the opening dates on the insulins. We need to start putting expiration dates on, so we
know when to discard the insulin. When asked about adverse possibilities of using expired insulin on
resident's she stated, The insulin won't work well or maybe not at all.
During record review of the facility's policy, 'Labeling of Medication Containers' dated revised [DATE]
