Module 5 Continuation for Millie Larsen (Medication Reconciliation):

Following Millie`s lab work assessment, revealing a blood glucose level of 350 mg/dL, it`s evident she requires careful medication management. With a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus, Millie was prescribed insulin; however, due to poor communication and documentation, her insulin therapy was overlooked upon admission.
