F 0697 to situation. Level of Harm - Actual harm On 12/16/24 at 9:43 A.M., R2 was up in a wheelchair in her room, at the bedside, crying and moaning, clutching her right knee. R2 stated her right knee hurts, and the pain is excruciating R2 rated the pain as a 10:10. R2 stated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] at 1:00 PM and was supposed to receive Norco as needed for pain, but facility staff have told her they don't have her Norco. R2 stated she has only received Tylenol for the pain one time, and it doesn't help at all. R2 stated she has been in pain since she arrived at facility, and no one is doing anything about it. R2 also states she is supposed to have the ice machine on her knee to help with pain, but staff never fill up the machine with ice. Ice machine observed and only contains water. R2 states she unable to sleep due to pain and is unable to eat, also. R2 requesting help with getting pain medication addressed immediately. Residents Affected - Few On 12/16/24 at 9:51 A.M., V3/Registered Nurse states resident told her she was in excruciating pain and as soon as she finished her medication pass, she was going to call the doctor and pharmacy. On 12/16/24 at 4:00 P.M., V8/Licensed Practical Nurse stated, (R2) was my patient this past weekend. I worked second shift both Saturday and Sunday night. R2 was having pain and I noticed she still didn't have her (narcotic) pain meds (medications). I called (V2/Director of Nurses) and she instructed me to call (V11/Physician) and let him know. When I came in the next night, (R2) still didn't have her pain medications, so I called the Pharmacy and asked them if (V11/Physician) had called in the script and they said he hadn't. I called (V2/DON) again that night and she told me to fax the information to (V11's) office, which I did. On 12/17/24 at 9:45 A.M., V7/Nurse Practitioner stated, I work in the facility Monday through Friday. I usually arrive around 7:00 A.M., I didn't work last Friday (12/14/24) and didn't see (R2) for the first time, until yesterday morning. When I assessed her, (R2) told me she had been having excruciating pain since admission and (facility) staff kept telling her they didn't have her pain medication in. Also, she didn't receive the polar ice to her knee. Polar ice provides continuous ice therapy for a patient that has undergone knee replacement surgery. It helps significantly with pain and swelling and allows a patient to move around to take care of themselves and participate in therapy. On 12/17/24 at 10:10 A.M., V2/Director of Nurses stated, (V8/Licensed Practical Nurse) called me on (12/14/24 and 12/15/24) to let me know that R2 had not received her pain medication, as it wasn't in the facility. (V8) said that (R2) was admitted and she didn't have a (hard) prescription for the narcotics, so Pharmacy couldn't fill it. I told her to call (R2's) doctor and to tell him to call the Pharmacy and he could send an E-Prescription (electronic prescription) to the pharmacy, and they could immediately take the pain medication from our facility convenience box. I thought that's what (V8/LPN) did. When she called me back on (12/15/24) and said that (R2) still didn't have her pain medication, I told her to call the doctor back and to send a fax to his office. On 12/17/24 at 10:15 A.M., V9/Pharmacist verified he was the Pharmacist for the facility. V9 stated when a resident is admitted to the facility with a narcotic medication, the facility faxes over the order and the order gets processed. V9 states once the pharmacy receives a copy of the prescription, they will release a code to the nurse, who then can withdraw the medication from the facility convenience box, which is located in the medication room. At this time, V9/Pharmacist confirmed the pharmacy did not receive a prescription for R2's pain medication until 12/16/24 at approximately 10:30 A.M.
