**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a care plan meeting was scheduled in a timely
manner to allow the resident and/or resident representative involvement in developing comprehensive,
person-centered plans of care for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for participation in care planning, of a total
sample of 40 residents, (#71 & #70).
Findings:
1. Clinical record review revealed resident #71 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
including influenza and Alzheimer's disease.
The resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with assessment reference date (ARD) of
6/18/22 revealed the resident's cognition was severely impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status
(BIMS) score of 7/15. The assessment indicated the resident required extensive assistance from one
person for bed mobility and toilet use. The resident required limited assistance with transfers, dressing, and
personal hygiene.
On 7/11/22 at 11:46 AM, resident #71's responsible party stated during the four weeks since the resident's
admission, no care plan meeting was held. She verbalized she had to request a meeting which was then
scheduled for 7/12/22.
On 7/13/22 at 9:58 AM, the MDS Coordinator explained the process for care plan meetings included
preparing a list of residents whose care plan meetings were coming due. This list would be provided to the
Receptionist, who would then send out invitation letters to the residents or the responsible parties. She
explained when the Receptionist received responses, she would schedule meetings per the preference of
residents or their family. The MDS Coordinator stated a care plan meeting for resident #71 should have
been held on 6/28/22. She could not say why the meeting was not held, and could not ascertain if the
resident/responsible party were provided with or received an invitation letter for their care plan meeting.
On 7/13/22 at 1:43 PM, the Receptionist confirmed the process for scheduling a care plan meeting included
sending out care plan invitation letters based on a list provided by the MDS Coordinator. She explained the
letters were then uploaded to each resident's electronic medical record and a care plan meeting would be
scheduled per the preference of the resident and/or family. The Receptionist stated the only reason an
invitation letter would not be sent, would be if the resident was discharged from the facility, or if she called
and scheduled the care plan meeting via phone. The resident's clinical records were reviewed with the
Receptionist, and she validated there was no care plan invitation letter, which indicated an invitation was
never sent to the resident or representative.
2. On 7/11/22 at 3:45 PM, resident #70 stated she had not been offered any opportunities to participate in
her care planning process, but she wished to do so.
A review of the resident's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her
diagnoses included Sepsis, Acute Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia, and Severe Protein-Calorie
Malnutrition. The MDS admission Assessment with ARD of 6/17/22 noted a BIMS score of 15 which

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pain management services in accordance with the
comprehensive care plan, and the resident's goals for care and preferences for 1 of 2 residents reviewed
for pain management, of a total sample of 40 residents, (#164).
Residents Affected - Few
The facility's failure to provide pain medications as requested by the resident, per physician's orders, and
consistent with the plan of care and accepted standards of practice, resulted in actual harm from prolonged
periods of unmanaged pain.
Findings:
Clinical record review revealed resident #164 was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility
on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness, dysarthria and anarthria, post
laminectomy syndrome, and myelopathy. The resident's History and Physical, dated 6/26/22, revealed
diagnoses including chronic back pain syndrome. The document indicated the resident had multiple prior
back surgeries and surgical revision with laminectomy on 6/20/22.
A laminectomy is a type of back surgery used to relieve compression on the spinal cord . performed when
less invasive treatments have failed. (Retrieved on 7/21/22 from www.healthline.com).
Anarthria is a severe form of dysarthria. Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that occurs when someone
can't coordinate or control the muscles used for speaking. (Retrieved on 7/28/22 from www.healthline.com).
Myelopathy is an injury to the spinal cord due to severe compression. (Retrieved on 7/28/22 from
www.hopkinsmedicine.org).
The resident's admission readmission Nursing Packet, dated 6/25/22, revealed on admission, resident #164
had pain to her sacrum, a vertical spinal surgical site, and complained of a burning sensation to her right
lower leg. The assessment noted the resident described her pain as severe, sharp, radiating at level 10 on
a pain scale of 1 to 10. The assessment identified the most likely cause of the resident's pain was her
post-operative incision, and pain relief was achieved with pain medications.
Review of the physician's orders for resident #164 revealed she was prescribed Fentanyl patch 75
microgram (mcg)/hour every 72 hours for chronic pain, and Percocet 10-325 milligram (mg) every 4 hours
as needed for pain levels of 5 to 10.
Fentanyl belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your
body feels and responds to pain. Percocet is a combination medication used to help relieve moderate to
severe pain. (Retrieved on 7/21/22 from www.webmd.com).
The resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with assessment reference date of 7/02/22
revealed the resident's cognition was moderately impaired with a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of
8/15. The assessment indicated the resident received scheduled and as needed pain medications for
frequent pain of moderate intensity.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
On 7/11/22 at 4:38 PM, resident #164 stated she was sutured from T3 to L5-6, the Thoracic to Lumbar
spine region, and had issues with her spine that caused both chronic and acute pain. She recalled on the
day she was admitted to the facility, transportation from the hospital took over one hour. The resident stated
by the time she arrived at the facility, her pain level was 10/10 and she had to wait for one hour to get pain
medication. Resident #164 stated nursing staff explained there was a pharmacy problem as a nurse had
not entered her prescribed medications into the computer system. She recounted another incident on
7/09/22 when she went without pain medications for eight hours. The resident said, It was not pretty. She
described vomiting as she suffered high levels of pain. The resident's husband said, It was really bad! He
explained that while his wife was vomiting, she was unable to get any medication. The resident and her
husband stated the facility needed to be more consistent with administration of pain medications. Resident
#164 stated she had informed a couple of Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) of her concerns, and she was
told they would get caught up on her pain medication and/or pass her concerns to the next shift. The
resident explained she usually tried to get pain medication prior to therapy but these requests were not
always honored.
Review of the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for 7/09/22 revealed Percocet 10-325 mg
was administered at 4:05 AM, 10:01 AM, 2:09 PM, and 6:36 PM. The document revealed a period of
approximately 9 hours elapsed before the next dose was administered on 7/10/22 at 3:22 AM, as reported
by the resident.
On 7/12/22 at 3:42 PM, LPN J stated resident #164 was a post-surgical patient who received pain
medication as scheduled and as needed. LPN J explained the resident's care needs included medication
administration and pain management.
On 7/13/22 at 11:41 AM, the resident stated last night, 7/12/22, was a bad night with pain as there was
some problem with narcotic medications. She explained at 10:00 PM, a nurse told her the pharmacy would
deliver her Percocet tablets no later than midnight. The resident stated she told her assigned nurse that the
nurse on the 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM shift had promised her the Percocet tablets would arrive by 10:00 PM.
Resident #164 stated the 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM nurse responded, I am not the pharmacy. The resident
reported the nurse, whose name she could not recall, told her to lay off the call light as she had reached
her limit for pain medication. The resident stated the nurse informed her she would not call the physician or
the pharmacy to obtain the code to access the facility's emergency medication supply. Resident #164
stated at about 5:00 AM this morning, 7/13/22, the night nurse entered her room, placed a cup with a tablet
on the tray table, and walked away.
On 7/13/22 at 5:58 PM, in a telephone interview, LPN H stated she was regularly assigned to resident #164
on the 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift and was aware of the resident's condition. She verbalized the resident
normally requested Percocet every 4 hours. She recalled during the change of shift report, the previous
nurse, LPN J, informed her she had to retrieve Percocet for the resident from the facility's Emergency Drug
Kit (EDK). She stated LPN J told her the pharmacy would deliver narcotics for the resident on the next
scheduled pharmacy run. LPN H stated the resident received her last dose of Percocet on 7/12/22 at
approximately 5:00 PM. She verbalized the resident asked for pain medication between 9:30 PM to 10:00
PM on 7/12/22 and reported her pain level at that time as 7 on a pain scale of 1 to 10. LPN H stated she
told the resident she would get her medication when the pharmacy delivered it. LPN H explained that when
a medication was not available, the facility's process included either checking if it could be obtained from
the EDK or calling the pharmacy for a stat or rush

delivery. LPN H stated she could not obtain a code from the pharmacy to access the EDK because the
previous nurse had already used a code, retrieved and administered one tablet to the resident. LPN H
further explained if the pharmacy delivery was in transit, she could not obtain a code for emergency
medication. She acknowledged she did not notify the physician or request any additional medication to
address the resident's report of level 7 pain and lack of access to as needed medications for breakthrough
pain. LPN H stated she rounded on the resident at 3:00 AM and she was asleep. However, LPN H
verbalized she did not actually enter the resident's room to assess her pain level, but observed the resident
from the hallway. She confirmed resident #164 requested pain medication at 9:30 PM but did not receive
Percocet for pain until 8 hours later at 5:30 AM on 7/13/22.
Review of the facility's job description for Licensed Practical Nurse revealed the LPN was responsible for
the optimal quality of care for residents, and his/her responsibilities included administration of medication
and treatments according to the physician's orders and assumes responsibility for ordering medications.
On 7/14/22 at 9:43 AM, the Montecito Unit Manager (UM) stated the goal of pain management was for pain
to be treated and managed appropriately. She stated the facility had an Automated Dispensing System
(ADS) and all LPN H had to do was submit another request to the pharmacy to obtain Percocet from the
ADS. The UM stated the physician should have been notified that the medication was not available, and an
order obtained for breakthrough pain medication. She said, Ultimately, the nurse should have obtained
medication from the ADS. The UM stated it was not acceptable for the resident to be in pain and not receive
medication as ordered. She validated the resident's pain was not managed adequately.
On 7/14/22 at 10:12 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the facility had an ADS, and the process was
for the physician to contact the pharmacy to authorize dispensing of medication. The nurse would then
contact the pharmacy to obtain a code to access the ADS, and two nurses would retrieve the medication
from the ADS using the code. The DON stated he was not aware the nurses could not obtain a code if a
pharmacy delivery was in transit as described by LPN H. He verbalized the physician should have been
informed the medication was not available, and LPN H should have then repeated the process used by the
previous nurse to obtain the medication from the ADS. The DON stated the expectation was for the nurse to
follow the physician's order and utilize the ADS to obtain medications that were not available in the
medication carts. The DON stated if a resident requested pain medication, it should be administered within
a reasonable timeframe. He confirmed LPN H should have contacted the physician and obtained orders to
address resident #164's pain in a timely manner.
Review of the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the period 7/01/22 to 7/12/22 revealed
the resident requested and received Percocet 10-325 mg routinely around the clock, approximately every 4
hours. The MAR showed on 7/12/22, Percocet 10-325 mg was administered at 5:24 PM and the next dose
was not given until 7/13/22 at 5:32 AM, approximately 12 hours between doses and 8 hours after the
medication was requested. During review of the MAR with the DON and the Montecito UM on 7/14/22 at
10:12 AM and 7/14/22 at 9:43 AM respectively, they acknowledged the findings.

On 7/13/22 at 12:42 PM, resident #105 was seated in front of her meal tray. She stated she ordered a Chef
salad and removed the lid that covered her plate to show she received only lettuce, cucumbers and
tomatoes. The resident explained she had been at the facility for one year and despite discussions in care
plan meetings regarding her food concerns, nothing ever got fixed.
On 7/13/22 at 1:00 PM, the Dietary Manager explained resident #105 did not receive the Chef salad she
requested as the facility had not received the delivery of the meat and cheese required for the Chef salad.
She stated she prepared chicken as a substitute meat for the Chef salad. The Dietary Manager could not
explain why the person who was responsible for checking trays had not checked the Chef salad before it
was sent out to the resident. The Dietary Manager said, A regular salad does not have the same nutritional
value as a Chef salad.
On 7/13/22 at 1:30 PM, a meeting was held with the Kitchen Manager, Regional Dietary Manager,
Registered Dietitian and Assistant Kitchen Manager. The Dietary Manager acknowledged resident #105
should have received the Chef salad she ordered. The Dietary manager said, I have no excuse for the
kitchen staff not making sure that the meal was correct. The Regional Dietary Manager confirmed resident
#105 had not received a substitute salad which was of equal or greater nutritional value.
On 7/14/22 at 5:01 PM, the Administrator explained the facility identified issues with resident preferences
during the Resident Council meetings. The Administrator stated a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)
was developed on 6/02/22 because residents stated they were not getting the food that they had requested
and the dietary staff were substituting food items that the residents did not like. The Administrator explained
that a Food Satisfactory Survey with a 1 to 5 coding system was distributed to only the residents who had
voiced numerous food concerns. She stated the PIP was on-going for three months and the survey scores
had improved. The Administrator confirmed the Food Satisfactory Survey had not been distributed to all
residents who received meals to obtain their input, and staff assigned to visit residents were not inquiring
about the quality of the food. The Administrator was informed that despite the facility's PIP, there were
current identified concerns related to residents not receiving requested meals, substitutions being made by
the kitchen staff and resident preferences not being added to their electronic Resident Detail form which
generated the meal tickets. The Administrator responded, We need to get this corrected and we will get it
right for the residents.
Review of the Facility's Menus Policy, revised October 2017, read, . Menus are developed and prepared to
