On 8/19/19 at 3:25 P.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) was interviewed. During the interview, she indicated she had not been aware that the resident's insulin had not been administered as ordered by the physician. The resident's insulin should have been administered or held according to the blood sugar parameters set by the physician's orders [REDACTED].>On 8/19/19 at 12:50 P.M., the DON provided a current copy of the facility policy titled Timely Administration of Insulin which stated the following: It is the policy of (facility name) to provide timely administration of insulin in order to meet the needs of each resident and to prevent effects on a resident's condition .Procedure: 1.All insulin will be administered in accordance with physician orders [REDACTED]. 3.1-35(g)(2)
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the correct dosage of insulin was administered at the correct time for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for medications (Resident D and Resident E). Finding include: 1. On 8/19/19 at 10:47 A.M., Resident D's record was reviewed. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 8/19/19 at 1:30 P.M., Resident D, who was identified by the facility as being interviewable, was observed in her room seated in her bedside chair. She had a frown on her face and her hands were shaking slightly. She indicated she had a headache and needed to eat. When questioned about her blood sugars, she indicated they had been low a time or two but did not indicate she was experiencing low blood sugar at this time. She indicated staff gave her insulin when they thought she needed it. Physician orders [REDACTED]. 4/18/18, at unknown time, Humalog solution 100 units/ml-inject per sliding scale: if (blood sugar/BS) 0-200 (milligram/deciliter)=0 units; if less than 60 call MD; 201-250=4 units; 251-300=6 units; 301-350=8 units; 351-400=10 units; 401 and higher, call MD or NP (Nurse Practitioner), subcutaneous (SC) 4 times a day for [MEDICAL CONDITION] (high blood sugar). 5/23/18, at unknown time, was for Humalog (insulin) mix 75/25 Suspension 100 units/ml (milliliter)-inject 20 units SC one time a day for diabetes. 5/29/19, at unknown time, Humalog mix 75/25 Suspension 100 units/ml-inject 60 units SC one time a day for diabetes. An MAR (Medication Administration Record) for (MONTH) 2019, indicated Resident D was to have her blood sugars checked and sliding scale insulin administered at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. The resident was to be administered Humalog mix 75/25 60 units SC at 9:00 a.m. and Humalog mix 75/25 20 units SC at 8:00 p.m. daily. An NP progress note, dated 8/8/19 at unknown time, indicated the resident was seen for an acute visit due to [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] (low blood sugar). The facility had informed the NP that the resident's blood sugar was 96 after she was found to have been given 2 doses of Humalog 75/25 60 units SC. Staff were instructed to check Resident D's blood sugar every 1 hour and if her blood sugar was <80 mg/dl, she was to be given [MEDICATION NAME] 1 mg intramuscularly (IM). The resident's BS dropped to 88 mg/dl and she was administered [MEDICATION NAME] 1 mg IM. Fifteen minutes later, the resident's BS dropped to 56 mg/dl. Resident D was more lethargic and diaphoretic (sweating) and complained of not feeling well. The pharmacy was not able to deliver [MEDICATION NAME] or [MEDICATION NAME] quickly so orders were given to transport the resident to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Nurse Progress Notes indicated the following: 8/8/19 at 1:03 p.m., the resident was out to the ER for evaluation and treatment of [REDACTED]. 8/8/19 at 6:17 p.m., Resident D returned from ER with no new orders. Her blood sugar was 165 mg/dl. 8/9/19 at 7:53 a.m., the Interdisciplinary Team reviewed the medication error that occurred on 8/8/19. The resident received 2 doses of Humalog 75/25 60 units totaling 120 units. The root cause of the error was that the medication had not been signed of in the MAR from the nurse that administered the first injection. The second nurse, administered a second dose due to lack of documentation of administration of the first dose of Humalog 75/25 60 units given. Medication Administration Audit Report and (MONTH) 2019 MAR indicated on 8/8/19, Resident D was not administered Humalog insulin per sliding scale at 8:00 a.m. as her BS was 134 mg/dl. LPN 4 (Licensed Practical Nurse) administered Humalog 75/25-60 units SC at 7:11 a.m. and did not sign the MAR to indicate the insulin had been administered. The MAR indicated Humalog 75/25-60 units SC was scheduled to be given at 9:00 a.m. LPN 6 administered Humalog 75/25-60 units SC at 8:49 a.m. On 8/19/19 at 11:12 A.M., LPN 4 was interviewed. During the interview, LPN 4 indicated she was scheduled routinely to work a specific hallway in the facility but was required to administer insulin to residents who resided on a different hall when QMA's (Qualified Medication Aides) were scheduled to work. QMA's were not allowed to administer insulin so licensed nurses were assigned to administer insulin to residents who required the injections in the QMA's assigned area in addition to their own assigned halls. LPN 4 indicated she administered all the insulin injections to residents on the (name) hall on 8/8/19 which included Resident D. She was walking back to her own hall when she passed by LPN 6 who was going down the hall to work on the (name) hall and told her that she had administered all the insulin injections for the hall but hadn't had time to sign off the MAR's. LPN 4 stressed that she informed LPN 6 not to give any insulin injections because they'd already been administered. When LPN 4 later went to initial the resident's MAR, she indicated she couldn't because LPN 6 had already initialed the MAR indicating LPN 6 had administered Humalog 75/25-60 units SC. LPN 4 indicated she notified LPN 6 immediately and confirmed the resident had received 2 injections of Humalog 75/25-60 units SC. On 8/19/19 at 11:41 A.M., LPN 6 was interviewed. During the interview, she indicated she came in to work at 7:40 a.m. on 8/8/19. LPN 4 reported to her that she had administered insulin to resident's on the hall and was headed back to her assigned hall. She indicated, she made the assumption that LPN 4 had only administered Resident D's Humalog sliding scale insulin which the resident received prior to eating breakfast. LPN 4 had not signed off the MAR's for the insulin injections she had administered so LPN 6 administered the resident's scheduled 9:00 a.m. dose of Humalog 75/25-60 units subcutaneous at 8:49 a.m. Resident D received Humalog insulin per sliding scale prior to breakfast and then would be administered Humalog 75/25-60 units SC after the resident ate breakfast. LPN 6 indicated the resident ate breakfast in room daily at around 7:30 a.m. When questioned, LPN 6 indicated upon notification that the resident had been given 2 doses of Humalog 60 units, the NP was notified and the resident monitored. Resident D was administered one dose of [MEDICATION NAME] 1 mg IM which was removed from the EDK (Emergency Drug Kit). She indicated the resident's blood sugar continued to drop and there had only been one dose of [MEDICATION NAME] available therefore the resident was sent to the hospital. Manufacturer directions for Humalog Mix 75/25 insulin was retrieved from the website uspl.lilly.com on 8/19/19 3:00 p.m. and indicated the following: Humalog Mix 75/25 insulin should be administered subcutaneous within 15 minutes before a meal. Humalog Mix 75/25 insulin is typically dosed twice-daily with each dose intended to cover 2 meals or a meal and a snack. The peak concentration and effects of Humalog Mix 75/25 was 60 minutes after dosing. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] is the most commonly observed adverse reaction with Humalog Mix 75/25 insulin. Factors which may increase the risk of [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] include changes in meal pattern or timing of meals. 2. On 8/19/19 at 2:12 P.M., Resident E's record was reviewed. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A physician order, dated 3/12/19 at unknown time, was for [MEDICATION NAME] (insulin) Solution 100 units/ml: Inject per sliding scale: 0-150 mg/dl=0 units with meals and HS; 151-200 mg/dl=2 units; 201-250 mg/dl=4 units; 251-300 mg/dl=6 units; 301-350 mg/dl=8 units; 351-400 mg/dl=10 units and call NP. Administer subcutaneous 3 times a day related to diabetes. Hold if BS is less than 150, and notify NP/MD if >400. Medication Administration Audit Report and (MONTH) 2019 MAR indicated the resident's blood sugar and [MEDICATION NAME]per sliding scale was scheduled to be done at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and at 5:00 p.m. daily. The Medication Administration Audit Report indicated the resident's blood sugar check and administration of [MEDICATION NAME]per sliding scale was administered after the scheduled times on the following dates and times: 8/5/19 at 8:00 a.m.: [MEDICATION NAME]2 units administered at 9:35 a.m. 8/7/19 at 8:00 a.m.: [MEDICATION NAME]2 units administered at 10:10 a.m. 8/12/19 at 12:00 p.m.: [MEDICATION NAME]2 units administered at 2:16 p.m. 8/15/19 at 8:00 a.m.: [MEDICATION NAME]2 units administered at 9:15 a.m. Manufacturer directions for [MEDICATION NAME]was retrieved from the website rapidactinginsulin.com on 8/19/19 at 3:30 p.m. which indicated the following: [MEDICATION NAME]should be injected 5-10 minutes before a meal. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] is the most common adverse effect of [MEDICATION NAME] insulin. Dosage adjustments may be needed with changes in physical activity, changes in meal patterns, changes in kidney or liver function, and during acute illness. On 8/19/19 at 12:31 P.M., the Executive Director (ED) and Director of Nursing (DON) were interviewed. During the interview, both indicated LPN 4 and LPN 6 were re-educated to sign off the MAR's at the time medications/insulin were administered. The DON indicated all nursing staff were to be re-educated about signing off the MAR's on this date during their scheduled monthly nurse meeting. When questioned why the resident's Humalog 75/25-60 units SC had been administered at 7:10 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. as scheduled in the MAR, the DON indicated they were in the process of hiring a full-time nurse for that particular hallway so nurse's would not have to cover more than one assigned hall. Both indicated they did not have a facility or pharmacy policy that indicated the time frames insulin should be administered according to the type of insulin, onset of action, duration of effects, and administration times around meals. During the interview, the DON indicated the facility did not have a policy that resident's who received insulin would have a corresponding order for [MEDICATION NAME] to be available. The facility EDK had had only one dose of [MEDICATION NAME] available when the medication error occurred. On 8/19/19 at 12:50 P.M., the DON provided a current copy of the facility policy titled Timely Administration of Insulin which stated the following: It is the policy of (facility name) to provide timely administration of insulin in order to meet the needs of each resident and to prevent effects on a resident's condition .Procedure: 1.All insulin will be administered in accordance with physician orders [REDACTED].Administer insulin at appropriate times. Document on the medication administration record the time and location of the insulin injection The facility policy did not indicate what appropriate times were for insulin administration.
