F 0697 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the NP note dated 11/14/23 revealed Resident #35's pain was not well managed. The resident was working with therapy at times but was limited due to pain. The NP discussed with family at bedside about pain control concerns. During the evaluation, the resident had muscle spasm attack causing pain all over and discussed Oxycodone medication effects last about four hours. The Oxycodone was changed to every four hours and muscle spasm medication was scheduled twice daily. If spasms continued, NP planned to increase Flexeril or switch to Robaxin. Interview on 02/05/24 at 11:28 A.M. with NP #200 revealed her expectations for staff would include giving pain medications or interventions and checking back with the resident in about 45 minutes to see the effectiveness of the interventions. If the interventions were not effective, NP revealed they could make changes to medications or would possibly request staff to reach out to the surgeon's office for recommendations or get a follow up appointment. NP revealed she would expect staff to complete rechecks and if pain control was not maintained, the staff should reach out to the medical team for next steps. The NP reviewed Resident #35's pain levels and confirmed the resident had several pain levels at eight, nine and 10 without documented timely rechecks. The NP stated the medical team did not just want to increase pain medications and were trying to make small adjustments at a time. NP #200 confirmed the facility had difficulty in managing residents' pain level which was confirmed in her notes. Interview on 02/05/24 at 12:49 P.M. with Physician #250 revealed Resident #35's pain was difficult to manage. The physician revealed he had spoken with the resident's family about concerns that staff were not offering pain medications timely and discussed options for pain control. The physician stated he wanted to slowly adjust medications due to side effects in the elderly population. The physician revealed his expectations that staff offer medication timely and check back to ensure the interventions were effective. Interviews on 04/08/24 from 1:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. with the Administrator and Director of Nursing stated the MAR included documentation of the pain medication effectiveness. The DON confirmed the scheduled medications dated 11/08/23 to 11/15/23 had no notation in the MAR if the medication was effective for Resident #35. The DON stated the facility identified an issue with order transcription and found orders were being put in without having the effectiveness notation. The DON and Administration acknowledged the importance for staff to check back in after giving pain medication. The DON stated I don't have the staffing to do that but at the same time acknowledged if the orders were transcribed incorrectly, the expectation was that staff should verify if pain levels had improved after interventions or medications were given. The DON and Administrator confirmed Resident #35 was hospitalized from complications with pain during a follow up visit with the surgery team on 11/15/23. Review of the facility policy titled Pain Management Program, dated 01/2016, revealed each resident's response to pain is different and resident should be monitored for pain. The facility shall use a pain scale to determine the effectiveness of intervention. The facility shall address goals and reduce pain through assessment, implementation of interventions and through monitoring the resident's response to interventions. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00152034.
