Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a significant medication error did not occur when the physician's orders were not followed during administration of insulin for one (Resident (R)7) of three sampled residents related to insulin administration out of a total sample of 15 residents. This had the potential for the resident to have an adverse reaction to the incorrect amount of insulin administered.
Findings include:Review of Resident R7's undated admission Record located in the electronic medical record (EMR) under the Resident tab revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with a diagnosis of type II diabetes mellitus. Review of Resident R7's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) date of 06/09/25 and located under the MDS tab of the EMR revealed the facility assessed the resident to have a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of zero out of 15, which indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired.Review of Resident R7's physician's Orders dated 07/23/25 located in the EMR under the Resident tab revealed orders for: 1. Insulin Glargine Subcutaneous Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Glargine) Inject 15 unit subcutaneously at bedtime for diabetes.2. Insulin Lispro Injection Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin Lispro) Inject as per sliding scale subcutaneously before meals and at bedtime for diabetes if:131 - 150 = 2 units;151 - 200 = 4 units;201 - 250 = 6 units;251 - 300 = 8 units;301 - 350 = 10 units;351 - 400 = 12 units;401 - 450 = 14 units;451 - 500 = 16 units Notify the MD if >451,Review of the facility's Incident Report dated 07/26/25 and provided by the facility revealed that Resident R7 was inadvertently given 15 units of lispro, instead of four units as prescribed. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)1 took Resident R7's blood sugar at 9:35 PM. Her blood sugar was 185. Lantus was held. Responsible party and medical provider were contacted because of the significant medication error. Monitoring orders were given. Resident R7 did not display any adverse effects or negative outcomes related to the medication error during the monitoring period.During an interview on 08/20/25 at 10:26 AM, the Medical Director revealed, (Resident R7) blood sugars trended on the higher side. Since the error was made with a short-acting insulin and it peaked within 30 minutes, there really wasn't any real concern. The facility acted appropriately and we were notified immediately.During an interview on 08/20/25 at 12:07 PM, LPN1 revealed, I should have noticed that I gave
the wrong amount of insulin. As soon as I went back to my cart, I knew immediately what I had done. I told LPN2 right away and we told the night supervisor. She made the calls to the family, physician, Director of Nursing (DON), and Administrator. Then we monitored Resident R7 for adverse effects for the next 48 hours.During
an interview on 08/20/25 at 1:20 PM, the Administrator revealed he was notified immediately when the insulin error occurred. We kept the provider updated throughout the monitoring period. Resident R7 did not have any adverse effects, and the blood sugar never went below the 185 reading and even went as high as the low 300's. Review of the facility Medication Error Counseling document provided by the facility completed by LPN1 and the DON revealed, Action Items: 1. Ensure Risk Management Report completed in its entirety. 2.
Provide education based on investigation and root cause analysis (RCA) results (attach evidence of education). 3. Complete Medication Pass Competency prior to next scheduled shift (if pertinent). 4.
Schedule subsequent Medication Pass Audits (determine through QA frequency and duration) 5. Complete Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Program (QAPI) Documentation of Plan and hold Ad Hoc QAPI (when high-risk medication involved and / or negative or potential negative outcome occurs) to be completed with LPN1 and the facility.
