Based on medical record review, interview, and policy review the facility failed to administer pain relieving
medications as ordered. This affected one (Resident #8) of three residents reviewed who received pain
medications. The census was 120.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #8 revealed an admission date of 01/14/25. Diagnoses included
Crohn's disease of large intestine with fistula, intervertebral disc degeneration, and chronic pain.
Review of the comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/21/25, revealed Resident
#8 had intact cognition and chronic pain.
Review of the plan of care dated 02/02/25 revealed Resident #8 had complaint of acute/chronic pain related
to Crohn's disease, intervertebral disc degeneration, lumbosacral region, abdominal pain, and other chronic
pain. Interventions included attempting non-pharmacological interventions, complete pain assessments,
follow physician orders, and observe for pain every shift.
Interview on 03/07/25 at 10:38 A.M. with the Administrator revealed on 02/25/25 Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON) #205 was upset and had an attitude because she had to work the floor due to a call off.
ADON #205 was not familiar with the resident medication administration on that unit. The Administrator
heard concerns from staff, residents, and family that ADON #205 was not administering medications in a
timely manner on that date. The Administrator sent the unit manager (Unit Manager #204) to investigate the
concerns around 3:00 P.M. Unit Manager #204 reported back there were concerns. The Administrator
assumed the concerns were addressed/resolved.
Interview on 03/07/25 at 11:35 A.M. with Resident #8 revealed she received pain medication every four
hours and she asked ADON #205 for her pain medication, hydromorphone (opioid analgesic). Resident #8
stated she knew it was time for another dose so she asked ADON #205 who stated, you will have to wait
because I am not going to stop passing medications for you. Resident #8 reported she was in pain and
crying because she was very upset.
Interview on 03/07/25 at 11:56 A.M. with Unit Manager #204 revealed on 02/25/25 she was sent to
investigate complaints from staff, residents, and family regarding residents not receiving their medications
on the hall where Resident #8 resided. Unit Manager #204 took over the medication administration from
ADON #205 and immediately gave Resident #8 the pain medication (hydromorphone) she had requested
and did not receive. Unit Manager #204 stated Resident #8 waited at least an hour for the pain medication
(hydromorphone).
