03/31/24 Resident #1's pain level range was recorded as: 0-7/10.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Further record review of the facility's two (2) computerized Controlled Substance Utilization
Record/Narcotic sign-off sheets only contained nurse signature-offs from 03/13/24 until 03/26/24 for only
the generic Oxycodone with Acetaminophen Oral Tablet dosage 5-325 mg to be given one (1) tablet by
mouth every six (6) hours (PRN) as needed for Pain, which was received by the facility on 03/13/24 and
03/23/24.
Residents Affected - Few
In contrast, record review of the (MAR) reflected that from 03/21/24 until 03/26/24, facility staff nurses
documented as if Resident #1 was administered Percocet/generic Oxycodone with Acetaminophen oral
tablet 7.5/325 mg give one (1) tablet by mouth one time a day for pain one (1) hour prior to Physical
Therapy (PT). However, there was no current Orthopedic Surgeon's order in place signifying an increase for
the Percocet to 7.5/325mg. Neither were there any corresponding Controlled Substance Utilization
Record/Narcotic sign-off sheets to match or reflect those particular dates of service.
It was noted that Resident #1 had two (2) scheduled visits in which he was seen by his Orthopedic
surgeon: 1) Wednesday March 20th and 2) again on Wednesday March 27th.
During a subsequent computerized record review of Resident #1's uploaded facility documentation, it was
noted that there was an un-dated prescription from Resident #1's Orthopedic Surgeon for Percocet 7.5/325
mg one (1) tablet by mouth three times (TID) (PRN) as needed, non-acute pain which had not been
uploaded by the facility until 03/26/24.
On 07/11/24 at 3:20 PM, during an interview with Staff A, a Registered Nurse (RN), she revealed that she
contacted Resident #1's PCP first, and she said that she was directed by the PCP to contact Resident #1's
Orthopedic Surgeon to have him to write a prescription for an increase in the resident's Percocet pain
management order. Staff A then explained that she then followed-up and called the Orthopedic Surgeon's
office, prior to ending her work shift and she spoke with the office nurse there. She then proceeded to give
the Orthopedic Surgeon's office nurse the facility's fax number. Next, Staff A said that she was told by the
office that they would fax over the new increased Percocet pain medication order. Staff A stated that when
she returned to work on the 25th that she did call the Orthopedic Surgeon's office again about the
prescription. But, Staff A also admitted to this Surveyor that she did not follow-through to ensure that a
prescription had been received back from Resident #1's Orthopedic Surgeon office. Staff A said that she
had indicated, with a #9 indicator in the facility's MAR, that a nurses' note was written referencing the status
of Resident #1's Percocet 7.5-325 mg tablet for that day. However, a side-by-side computerized record
review conducted by Staff A and this Surveyor of the nurses' notes, did not reflect any entries pertaining to
the Percocet 7.5-325mg tablet. Staff A ultimately acknowledged that she did not document any prior
communication or conversation in the record, with Resident #1's PCP regarding the Percocet 7.5-325mg
increase.
There was no documentation in any of the facility's nurses' progress notes to indicate that a physician's
order was ever obtained or secured from the Orthopedic Surgeon by Resident #1's nurse.
On 07/11/24 at 3:43 PM an interview was conducted with Staff B, an RN, in which she acknowledged that
she was following what had been previously recorded in the resident's MAR and she also said that she had
indicated with a #9 that a nurses' note was written with regard to the Percocet 7.5-325mg tablet that day on
the MAR, however, side-by-side computerized record review of the nurses' notes, did not reflect any entries
pertaining to the Percocet 7.5-325mg tablet.

Neither Staff C, an RN, nor Staff D, an RN were available for interview. But, during a side-by-side
computerized record review with the DON, it was revealed that both nurses had signed off the MAR on
Friday 22nd and Sunday the 24th of March in error with the resident not having been administered the
Percocet 7.5-325mg tablet either day.
In summary, there was no Controlled Substance Utilization Record for the dates-of-service (DOS) March
21st through March 26th due to the fact that there was no physician's order obtained, nor was there any
documentation in the associated physician progress notes identifying an increase Percocet 7.5/325; this
medication was not received according to the Narcotic sheet until March 26th.
The DON further recognized and acknowledged after reviewing the MAR that on 07/12/24 at 4:20 PM there
was a PCP order, but no prescription order from Resident #1's Orthopedic Surgeon to validate the increase
in the Percocet dosage and further the Percocet 7.5-325mg tablet had been signed off as administered on
both days by the nursing staff, when in fact, it should not have been.
