F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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).
