Summary
A medication cart inspection revealed that a Novolog insulin pen with an open date of 4/26/25 and an expiration date of 5/24/25 was still present in the cart after its expiration. During the inspection, it was confirmed by LPN #3 that the insulin pen was expired, and she acknowledged administering the expired insulin to Resident #11 earlier that morning. This indicates that the facility did not remove expired medications from availability for resident use as required.
