32 | Allegation: Facility did not administer medication to resident.
During the course of the investigation for the above allegation, the department conducted interviews and record reviews. LPA interviewed staff and residents in care and learned that R1 had medication orders for insulin injections twice daily (one in morning for breakfast and one before dinner). Based on Title 22, 87629(a), the licensee shall be permitted to accept or retain a resident who requires intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intradermal injections if the injections are administered by the resident or by an appropriately skilled professional. Based on records review and staff interviews, R1 was unable to perform their own insulin injections therefore the injections need to be provided by an appropriate skilled professional. Based on facility staffing records, the facility has a skilled medical professional on duty who can perform injections based on their scope of practice. From record reviews and staff interviews, it has been concluded that on 4/22/23, 5/19/23, and 5/28/23, the facility skilled medical professional was not working at the facility therefore R1 did not received their insulin injection based on medication orders. Based on this information, LPA finds allegation to be Substantiated - A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. The deficiencies are cited on 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6.
