Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
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 identify and treat the cause of new pain in left arm; failed to
timely review x-ray results; failed to relay x-ray results to physician; failed to obtain verbal or telephone order
from physician for pain patch for one resident (R4) in a total sample of 3 residents (R4, R5, and R6). These
deficient practices resulted in harm for R4 experiencing new onset left arm pain for 34 days with limited
mobility due to a left humerus fracture diagnosed at an outside hospital.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 08/13/24 at 12:48pm V19 Medical Doctor (MD) stated, R4 came to the emergency room (ER) unable to
move his (R4) left arm and was found to have a subacute fracture to the left humerus. We (medical staff)
think the fracture is a pathologic fracture from the cancer, but the problem is how long did he (R4) have this
fracture without it being treated. He (R4) was admitted with acute kidney injury (AKI), fecal impaction,
dehydration, subacute fracture and pneumonia.
R4's hospital note dated 07/30/24 documents in part that R4 has a diagnosis of metastatic cancer of
unknow origin (present on admission), and also noted that R4 had significant left arm pain. R4 was unable
to move arm on exam .X-ray of the left humerus showed subacute fracture of the proximal left humerus.
R4's diagnosis includes but are not limited to Major depressive disorder, Chronic respiratory failure, Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, Morbid obesity, Venous insufficiency, Sleep Apnea.
R4's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] has a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13
which indicates R4's cognition is intact.
On 08/12/24 at 12:01pm V20 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, (R4) did complain of pain to his (R4)
left arm. (R4) complained of arm pain for about a week or so before (R4) left. At first, (R4) wasn't
complaining about the arm then (R4) started complaining of arm pain. (R4) told me (V20) that the lady
came to draw (R4's) blood and (R4's) arm had been hurting ever since then. (R4) couldn't lift (R4's) arm
anymore, (R4) said the arm hurt to lift. (R4) would use (R4's) right hand to lift (R4's) left arm because the
left hurt (R4) too bad to try to move. The DON (Director of Nursing) and the doctor both knew about the
pain in (R4's) arm. I'm (V20) not sure if they (DON and Doctor) did anything about the pain, possibly an
x-ray.
Record review of R4's physicians orders show that an x-ray of R4's left shoulder was ordered on 06/25/24
due to pain.

Record review of radiology results of R4's x-ray to left shoulder taken on 06/26/24 show that V2 reviewed
R4's left shoulder x-ray results on 07/19/24.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of R4's progress notes show that no documentation of x-ray results was communicated to
V22 until 07/19/24 by V2.
On 08/13/24 at 2:00pm V2 Director of Nursing (DON) stated that R4 was having new pain and R4 denied
anything happened to his arm. V2 stated that V2 was auditing the chart on 07/19/24 and noted that there
was no documentation about R4's x-ray done on 6/26/24, so V2 notified V22 medical doctor.
On 08/13/24 at 1:15pm V13 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) affirmed that R4 started complaining of pain
to R4's left arm approximately 2 weeks before R4 left the facility. V13 stated that V13 told the nurse that R4
was complaining of pain to R4's left arm.
On 08/13/24 at 2:22pm V16 CNA stated that R4 complained of pain to his (R4) left arm starting a few
weeks before R4 left the facility. V15 told the nurse that R4 was complaining of pain and the nurse gave R4
Hydrocodone.
On 08/14/24 at 10:30am V22 MD stated, I (V22) don't remember ordering lidocaine patch for (R4), the
nurses might have just put the order in my (V22) name. I (V22) don't recall anyone informing me (V22) of
any x-ray results. In my (V22) practice I (V22) usually don't order Lidocaine. That order I (V22) did not give. I
(V22) usually look at what causes the pain instead of just ordering a patch. I (V22) don't have a memory of
the DON calling me (V22). The nursing home has their own specific nurse practitioner (NP). I don't have an
NP. It's not normal for staff to put an order in my name and I (V22) expect staff to call me (V22). My (V22)
name is on (R4's ) chart as the attending, so the nurse probably just picked my (V22) name for the
lidocaine order.
On 08/14/24 at 10:55am V2 stated, Residents with pain need to be assessed to find out where the pain is
and the level of pain and then give them (residents) PRN (as needed) pain medications. New pain is
considered a change of condition. Some residents have psychological pain. For new pain an SBAR
(situation, background, assessment and recommendation) should be done, the doctor should be notified
and the family of the resident if the resident is not alert, and then give the resident whatever the doctor
orders. For severe pain we (nurses) should send the resident to the hospital. We (nurses) check for swelling
and bruising in the area of pain, and for safety purposes do an x-ray.
R4's progress notes dated 06/25/24 through 07/29/24, show no SBAR for new pain, no documentation that
physician was notified of new pain, and no documentation of next of kin notification of new pain for R4
found as V2 stated in above interview should be completed for new pain.
On 08/14/24 at 1:55pm V23 LPN stated, I (V23) am not familiar with R4. I (V23) don't know how my (V23)
name can be on an order for R4 because I (V23) don't ever take care of R4. R4 was in room with others
and sometimes when R4 would put the call light on, I (V23) would answer the call light and R4 would ask
me (V23) to tell R4's nurse (R4) needs pain medication, water or that (R4's) oxygen wasn't working but
that's it. I (V23) don't know how the order was entered under my (V23) name.
On 08/14/24 at 2:41pm V1 Administrator stated, Staff are not allowed to share passwords. The nurse
should transcribe the order correctly. With any change in condition the nurse is to notify the doctor. The
nurse cannot enter an order without contacting the doctor.

On 08/14/24 at 2:50pm V24 RN stated, Actually there was a time when R4 came from an appointment, and
I (V24) saw a prescription for lidocaine patch to his (R4) left arm. Normally nurses have to advise the doctor
or the NP if we (nurses) get an order from a resident's appointment. I (V24) don't know when the pain in
R4's arm started. Normally R4 would just ask for the Norco for pain but then one day R4 wanted the Norco
and the lidocaine patch.
