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
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident's pain was managed before
providing care and changing the dressing on his wound.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 15 residents (R24) reviewed for pain management in a sample of 15.
The findings include:
On 8/8/23 at 10:05 AM V6, V7, and V8 (CNAs) assisted R24 with his personal care by rolling him back and
forth in the bed. With each roll R24 moaned with pain. V8 repeated over and over, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. R24
was asked if he was in pain and he stated, yeah. The CNAs continued by turning R24 and placed him onto
his right side. V9(RN) entered the room to change the soiled dressing on R24's coccyx. V9 removed the old
dressing and R24 yelled out with pain. V8 and V9 both told R24 that they were sorry. V9 cleaned the wound
and R24 continued moaning with pain. When all care was completed R24 was positioned on his back and
stated that his right leg was hurting. V6 looked at R24's leg, stated that is was positioned ok and covered
R24 with the sheet. Surveyor spoke with R24 and he stated that he has pain all the time but more with
movement. R24 was asked where his pain was and he stated he had pain in his back. R24 was asked if the
staff offered him pain medication. R24 stated, Not today. R24 was asked if he wanted something for pain
and R24 stated, yes.
At 10:35 AM, V9(RN) stated that R24 has an order for Oxycodone 10 mg every 6 hours PRN (as needed)
and the last time he had received it was on 8/6/23 (2 days prior).
On 8/09/23 at 8:59 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, (V9) said (R24) absolutely didn't need a pain pill
yesterday. The humming and the moaning that he does is just a behavior. He gets a scheduled Tylenol and
scheduled Alprazolam (Antianxiety), His moaning is a self comforting behavior and he also has Tourette's
so you can't tell by his facial expressions if he is having pain. (V9) said she thought it would be easier if she
could just give him something before his treatment.
R24's Physician's Order Sheet dated 8/9/23 shows that R24 has diagnoses including Quadriplegia,
Tourette's Syndrome, Pressure Ulcer of the Sacral Region and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
R24's Pain assessment dated [DATE] states, What makes pain worse? Movement/repositioning and
Describe all methods of alleviating pain and their effectiveness: Immobility and pain meds are effective
when left alone/not moving.
R24's Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] shows that R24 has no short term or long term
memory problems and that R24 is totally dependent on two staff for bed mobility.
The undated facility policy entitled, Management of Pain states, Our mission is to facilitate residents'
independence, promote resident comfort and preserve resident dignity. The purpose of the 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.
