Jan 9 by Sun0408That is high, how much time lapsed from the check to getting the insulin?? Not enough info to really answer, what other issues were going on during that time frame..Did the nurse ask for help and the supervisor declined.. I mean if the supervisor was unaware, I don't see how they are at fault. - Guide

Not supervisors fault. Were the orders on MAR clear and correct?
Med error goes to nurse....
