F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, that facility failed to ensure that one resident (R3) was free from pain, after a suspected unwitnessed fall. This failure affected one of 7 residents reviewed for pain management. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R3 is [AGE] year old with diagnosis including but not limited to: History of falling, Intervertebral disc degeneration, Cervical disc degeneration, Muscle wasting and atrophy, Ataxic gait and Hypertension. R3 has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of 3 which indicates severe cognitive impairment. On 11/13/23 during investigation, V2 (Assistant Director of Nursing) said, R3 was discharged after going out to the hospital. She (R3) was complaining of pain and the family requested that she (R3) be sent to hospital for further evaluation. On 11/15/23 at 10:45 AM, V8 (Director of Nursing) said, I was not aware of R3 stating that she had a fall or complaining of pain. Surveyor inquired about the expectations regarding falls and pain management. On 11/15/23 at 10:45 AM, V8 said, If a resident has a suspected fall, the nurse conducts a post fall assessment, risk management, take vitals, call the family, call the Doctor and notify me (V8). For a patent that is non-verbal or cognitively impaired, a non-verbal pain scale is used to assess for facial grimacing, moaning etc. Surveyor inquired about expectations regarding pain management. On 11/15/23 at 10:50 AM, V8 said, If there is prn (as needed) pain medication it should be administered to the resident complaining of pain. If there is no order for pain medication, an order should be obtained and administered. If the resident's pain is not addressed, it could lead to anxiety, increased blood pressure, and continued pain until it's addressed. Surveyor asked how administered medications are documented. On 11/15/23 at 10:50 AM, V8 said, Pain medication is documented in the MAR (Medication Administration Record). If it is a one-time order it would also be documented on the MAR.Pain assessments are also documented on the MAR and would indicate a checkmark for no pain and a number would indicate the level of pain. On 11/15/23 at 2:50 PM, V16 (Certified Nurse Assistant/ CNA) said, I am familiar with R3. I worked with her the day that she kept saying that she fell and I told the nurse. I did not witness R3's fall, but there was a change in her (R3). I (V16) have been working at the facility for a long time and I know when there is a change in a patient. R3 kept ringing her call device and seemed uncomfortable. R3 kept saying that she fell. When the family came in, they were upset because R3 was still complaining that she had a fall days before and was complaining of leg pain.
