Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide pain management for one of three
residents (R34) reviewed for pain management in the sample of 27. This failure resulted in R34
experiencing severe pain and Physical Therapy shortening therapy with R34 on 5/15/23.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The Facility Policy: Management of Pain dated 4/4/12, documents Our mission is to facilitate resident
independence, promote resident comfort and preserve resident dignity. The purpose of this policy is to
accomplish that mission through an effective pain management program, providing our residents the means
to receive necessary comfort, exercise greater independence, and enhance dignity and life involvement. A
standard format for assessing, monitoring, and documenting pain in both cognitively intact and cognitively
impaired residents will be utilized. As part of a comprehensive approach to pain assessment and
management, pain will be considered the fifth vital sign at the facility, along with temperature, pulse,
respiration, and blood pressure. For the purpose of this policy, pain is defined as whatever the experiencing
person says it is, existing whenever the experiencing person says it does.
On 05/15/23 11:30 AM, R34 was sitting in her wheelchair with a frown on her face. (R34) stated (R34) was
having severe pain in (R34's) side and is supposed to be getting Norco (Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen oral
tab 5-325 milligrams/mg), but the facility does not have Norco. R34 also stated I know they have it (Norco)
in a convenience box (C-Box), but they need authority to get in the box. I am hoping they will get it today but
none so far. I have therapy every day, but I couldn't do it today because I hurt too bad. I was told it may be
8:00 PM before they get the medication. I took Tylenol earlier this morning, but it doesn't work as well as the
Norco.
On 5/15/23 at 11:35 AM, V3 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated that V34's Norco was increased due to V34
having chronic pain. V34 ran out of the Norco last night (5/14/23). We asked V6 (R34's Primary Physician)
to send an order to the pharmacy. Once the pharmacy gets the order, they will call us, and we can get the
medication out of the Convenience Box.
On 5/17/213 at 10:15 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that on 5/12/23 at 5:45 PM, R34's Norco order
was changed from one tab to two tabs. The last Norco the facility had available for R34 was given to R34 on
5/15/23 at 12:15 AM. The facility policy is that the pharmacy must verify the order before we can pull it from
the convenience box. There was Norco in the convenience box, but the facility was not allowed to take it
from the C-Box without permission. The next time R34 got Norco was on 5/15/23 at 1:37 PM. V2 also stated
We should have contacted (V6/R34's Primary Physician) sooner to get the medication here so (R34) would
not have had pain.
