Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure clinical records were complete and accurate for one of three sampled residents, (Resident 1). Residents Affected - Few This failure had potential to result in under- and over-medicating a resident for pain. Findings: During an interview on 3/5/24 at 2:30 p.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated on Friday night 3/1/24, she had pain seven-eight (7-8)/10 (pain scale with 10 being the most pain) in right knee, and pressed the call light at 3 a.m. In between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m., a nurse came in with two Tylenol® (a medication commonly used for pain relief) pills, did not turn on the light, did not offer Resident 1 water, and turned off the call light. Resident 1 further stated she did not know the name of the nurse and described them as an African American nurse. A review of Resident 1's Medication Administration Record (MAR), dated March 2024, indicated on 3/1/24, for 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. administration time, the licensed nurse did not sign the administering Tylenol® to Resident 1 for pain. A review of Resident 1's Case Management Progress Notes, dated March 2024, indicated, On 3/2/24 at 9:05 a.m., DON [Director of Nursing] came to address the resident's concerns regarding the call light not being answered timely from last night .She said she pressed her call light 3 times and when someone (not sure if a nurse or CNA) came to give her the pain meds, the person touched the wall for the reset button . During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/24 at 3:35 p.m. with the DON, Resident 1's MAR, dated March 2024, was reviewed. The MAR indicated, on 3/1/24 for 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. administration time, there was no Licensed Nurse initials in the box for Resident 1's Tylenol® pills, to demonstrate the medication was administered. The DON stated the MARs were missing documentation of administering Tylenol® pills to Resident 1 in between 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. The DON stated that a nurse told her she gave Tylenol for pain around that time. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/5/24 at 3:45 p.m. with DON, the facility's Nursing Daily Assignment and Sign-in Sheet, dated March 2024 was reviewed. The Nursing Daily Assignment and Sign-in Sheet indicated, on 3/1/24 for the night shift, a nurse matched the description given by Resident 1. DON confirmed that she was Resident 1's night shift Licensed Nurse.
