F 0697 R2's Nurses Note dated 1/24/23 at 3:50 PM agency nurse returned keys to the facility. Level of Harm - Actual harm On 1/31/24 at 3:00 PM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated, He (R2) did not receive his medications on the morning of 1/24/24 due to not having keys to the lock box. Residents Affected - Few On 1/31/24 at 1:17 PM, V13, Dialysis Nurse, stated, When he returned from the hospital, the family decided to continue dialysis even though he is on hospice, but his pain was not in control. The treatment team decided that he would receive morphine before leaving the facility on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On the 24th of January (R2) came to dialysis, but he was complaining of pain and hollering out. I gave him Tylenol, but it did not help. He is usually in a lot of pain. I called the facility, and they stated they didn't have keys to get into the lock box to give him medications. We had to stop his treatment, because he was yelling I want to go home I'm hurting. We sent him back to the facility, but he usually carries a lot of fluid. I set up a dialysis on Saturday, but it wasn't ideal because they were only going to remove the fluid. On 2/1/24 at 11:01 AM, V15, Nurse Practitioner, stated, From my perspective yes he (R2) should have received it (pain medications). The inability to get it, they should have reached out to hospice or our office. If he didn't complete dialysis because of pain that's a problem. I don't believe it is detrimental to him (to miss dialysis). He does very well with his blood pressure and electrolytes. It's not great that he missed a day, but it's not detrimental. The Facility's Pain Policy, undated, documented, 1. To provide effective pain assessment and management that helps remove the adverse psychological and physiological effects of unrelieved pain. It continues, 4. To ensure optimal patient comfort through a proactive pain control plan, which is mutually established with the patient, family, and members of the health care team.
