The facility failed to ensure that the correct syringe was utilized in the administration of insulin medication to Resident R1 which resulted in actual harm to Resident R1 experiencing a hypoglycemic episodes, requiring two doses of [MEDICATION NAME] injection, 1 dose of [MEDICATION NAME] intravenously and transfer to the hospital via emergency services. 28 Pa.
