Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents were free of any significant medication
errors for one of seven residents (Resident #1) reviewed for medication administration. LVN A administered
Resident #1's short acting insulin, instead of administering her long-acting insulin, which lead to an insulin
overdose and hospitalization for observation for 24 hours. The failure could place residents who receive
insulin medications at an increased risk for complications such as increased blood glucose levels, change
in cognition, and an exacerbation of symptoms and disease process.Findings included: Record review of
Resident #1's face sheet, dated 1/20/26, revealed Resident #1 as an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had the following diagnoses: unspecified dementia without
behavioral disturbance decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning that disrupts daily life), low back pain,
major depressive disorder (serious mood disorder causing persistent sadness, loss of interest and
impacting thoughts, feelings and daily life), Parkinson's disease (progressive nervous system disorder
affecting movement), disease of pancreas (due to insulin problems or lack of digestive enzymes), moderate
protein-calorie malnutrition (reduced protein and energy intake), vitamin D deficiency, hyperlipidemia (high
level of fat in the blood), anxiety disorder (excessive persistent fear and worry about everyday problems),
idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage affecting involuntary bodily functions - like heart
rate, digestion, sweating, blood pressure, where the cause is unknown), overactive bladder common
condition causing a sudden, strong urge to urinate), Type 2 diabetes (the body does not use insulin
properly or doesn't produce enough of it), gastro-esophageal reflux (symptoms of heartburn or upset
stomach), hypothyroidism(thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone- underactive),
hypertension (high blood pressure), atherosclerotic heart disease (plaque buildup in arterial walls), Zoster
without complications (shingles). Record review of Resident #1's current MDS, resident assessment, dated
11/17/25, documented the resident scored 12 of 15 on a mini-mental exam for cognitive awareness and
she was interviewable. Resident #1's functional ability revealed the Resident #1 was independent with all
ADL functions. Record review of Resident #1's care plan, last review dated 11/25/25, revealed Resident #1
was care planned for her Diabetes Mellitus. Interventions read that. Diabetes medication as ordered by
doctor. Monitor/document side effects and effectiveness. Record review of Resident #1's physician orders,
dated 1/1/26 through 1/31/26, revealed Resident #1 has an order for the following insulins: Lantus SoloStar
Subcutaneous Solution Pen-Injector 100 units/ml (Insulin Glargine) - inject 42 units subcutaneously one
time a day (PM) - long-acting insulin.Lantus Subcutaneous Solution 100 units/ml (Insulin Glargine) - inject
45 units subcutaneously on time a day (AM) - long-acting insulin.Flasp FlexTouch Subcutaneous Solution
Pen-injector 100 unit/ml (Insulin Aspart (with Niacinamide)) - inject per sliding scale - short-acting insulin:-if
201 - 250 = 2 units251 - 300 = 4 units301 - 350 = 6 units351 - 400 = 8 units400 - 500 = 10 units
Subcutaneously three times a day - 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Record review of Resident

#1's nurses notes documented the following:1/15/26 at 8:39 a.m. - Resident #1 was transferred to a
hospital related to medication error - NP ordered for resident to be transferred out for close evaluation. This
is intended to serve as notice of an emergency transfer.1/16/26 at 4:14 p.m. - Resident #1 readmitted
/returned from the hospital. Reason for hospital visit: insulin overdose During an interview on 1/20/26 at
9:55 a.m., the Administrator stated LVN A gave Resident #1 her own insulin, but it was the fast-acting
insulin, not the long-acting insulin that was ordered for that time of day. During an interview on 1/20/26 at
10:25 a.m., the DON stated on 1/15/26, she was in her office getting ready for a morning meeting when
LVN A came to her and said she had given the wrong insulin to Resident #1. The DON stated LVN A meant
to give Lantus - a long-acting insulin but gave the short-acting insulin by mistake. The DON stated LVN A
realized after about 10 minutes that she had given the wrong insulin to Resident #1 and came directly to
her office. The DON stated she immediately went to assess Resident #1 and called the NP to see what she
needed to do to get Resident #1 situated. The DON stated the NP said to start an IV for D5, if needed, then
the NP called another NP and then the MD and the MD informed her to send the resident to the hospital.
The DON stated that very day, they educated LVN A and suspended her, she was still suspended. The
DON stated the NP also educated LVN A about searching for medications on Google. The DON stated
there were always extra mediations in the Emergency kit if needed. The DON stated LVN A was a new
nurse and had been a nurse since [NAME] 2025, when she graduated LVN. The DON stated all the nurses
talked very highly of LVN A, but she made a very bad mistake. The DON stated LVN A was still suspended
for the time being. During an interview on 1/20/26 at 12:46 p.m., LVN A stated she had gone to her
medication cart and had already taken Resident #1's vitals but she always wanted her insulin at a certain
time. LVN A stated she was looking for Resident #1's insulin pens as she had two the last time she took
care of her, but there was only one pen in the medication cart. LVN A stated afterwards, she had found a
vial of Resident #1's insulin but not the pen and it was the long-acting insulin she needed. LVN A stated she
contacted ChatGPT, which is like an AI thing the younger generation uses instead of Google, and it said the
insulin was the right kind, but she admitted to not reading all of the answer. LVN A asked the State surveyor
if she knew what AI was because all the younger generation used it, to which the State surveyor informed
LVN A that she was aware of AI. LVN A stated she had gone on to give insulin to another resident, and that
resident's insulin was the same as Resident #1's and that was when she knew she had given the wrong
medication (short-acting insulin) to Resident #1. LVN A stated she immediately locked her medication cart
and went to the Administrator's office and then the DON and told them what happened. LVN A stated
Resident #1 was doing good and they gave her two glasses of apple juice and some crackers, and
Resident #1 drank both glasses of apple juice and some of the crackers. LVN A stated she checked
Resident #1's blood sugar and it was 200 and she checked Resident #1's blood sugar 10 minutes later and
her blood sugar was 145. LVN A stated right after that, Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for observation
and the resident was not in any distress. LVN A stated the NP wanted her sent to the hospital for further
evaluation and treatment. LVN A stated she was terrified by the mistake she made. LVN A stated she would
never do that again and instead of contacting ChatGPT, she would go ask the charge nurse or the DON for
assistance when she was not sure of the medication she was giving. During an interview on 1/20/26 at 1:54
p.m., Resident #1 stated she remembered getting an IV when she got to the hospital. Resident #1 stated
the first thing they did after she got the wrong insulin was give her a glass or two of apple juice and some
crackers. Resident #1 wasn't upset about getting the wrong insulin until she found out how serious it could
be. Resident #1 stated she usually got insulin from a pen, but she had gotten insulin from a regular insulin
syringe. Resident #1

stated she remembered the nurse (LVN A) was scared to death. Resident #1 stated the doctor insisted on
sending her to the hospital so she could be monitored closely, and she was just monitored at the hospital
and then she was sent back to the facility. Resident #1 stated she did not have any low blood sugars at the
hospital. Resident #1 stated those young nurses that were coming to the facility or PRN nurses, she did not
understand why the facility used so many of them. Resident #1 stated she was uncomfortable with new
nurses, and she trusted the older nurses that had been in the facility for a while. Resident #1 stated she
was glad that someone was doing a follow-up on giving her the wrong insulin because that should never
have happened. (Resident #1's blood sugars were checked with the medical record on 1/15/26 before being
transported to the hospital and all of her blood sugar were in a normal range for her.) During an interview
on 1/10/26 at 2:11 p.m., Resident #1's NP stated she was told that the nurse was out of long-acting insulin
and googled to see if the other insulin was the same thing and google said it was, so she gave 45 units of
short acting insulin in error. The NP stated she was very upset when she was told that because it was a
very serious situation. The NP stated she called the doctor and informed him of what happened, and he
said to send her to the hospital because they could monitor her better. The NP stated the facility had
everything in house to take care of her, but she needed closer monitoring and the resident would be better
off in the hospital. The NP stated she was aware that the nurse who made the error was a new nurse and
new to the facility but nursing 101 would tell you to look for the DON for any answers that would be needed.
The NP state a nurse should never google to make a nursing judgement, a nurse should always ask the
DON or ADON, that was what they were there for. The NP stated Luckily, Resident #1 was fine and thought
her blood sugar never got below 120. Record review of the facility's, Medication Administration and General
Guidelines, undated, documented the following:Policy: Medications are administered as prescribed, in
accordance with State Regulations using good nursing principles and practices and only by persons legally
authorized to do so. Personnel authorized to administer medications do so only after they have familiarized
