In a correctional nursing setting, medication administration and monitoring for insulin, long-acting injectables, and detox patients is done manually via paper records due to connectivity issues, leading to frequent errors and missed treatments.

Cerner is not used at the bedside due to poor connectivity, forcing reliance on paper records that cause medication errors and missed injections.
