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
record review, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to adequately control Resident #38's pain
when his as needed pain medication was not administered timely on 05/31/25. This affected one (Resident
#38) of three residents reviewed for pain management. The facility census was 99.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #38 revealed an admission date of 05/29/25. Diagnoses included
sepsis, fracture of the left pubis, and wedge compression fracture of the third lumbar vertebra.
Review of the physician's order dated 05/29/25 revealed an order to administer oxycodone (opioid pain
medication) 10 milligrams (mg) by mouth every four hours as needed for pain.
Review of the admission assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #38 had intact cognition and was
aware of person, place, and time. Resident #38 reported he had severe pain.
Review of the care plan dated 05/29/25 revealed Resident #38 was at risk for alteration in comfort
secondary to bacteremia infection, closed compression fractures, and left-sided inferior pubic ramus closed
fracture. Interventions included administering medications as ordered and monitoring for effectiveness and
interventions.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for 05/31/25 revealed Resident #38 received his
oxycodone at 4:02 A.M. and did not receive his next dose until 10:49 A.M.
Interview on 06/03/25 at 8:43 A.M. with Resident #38 reported he keeps notes on everything. Review of the
progress notes on 05/31/25 revealed he activated his call button from 8:30 A.M. to 9:30 A.M. His call light
still had not been answered, so he called the main phone line reporting he wanted pain medication
because it was due at 8:30 A.M., and he needed it. Resident #38 reported the nurse did not administer his
pain medication until around 11:00 A.M. when she finally answered the call light.
Interview on 06/04/25 at 9:36 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #502 revealed that she did care for
Resident #38 on 05/31/25. It was her first day caring for him. She reported she was told in report that he
wanted his pain medications every four hours but was not told what time his next dose was due. She
confirmed she did not answer the call light until 10:40 A.M. and administered his pain medications then.
LPN #502 reported that morning was busy, but the facility did have enough staff. LPN #502 also reported
that she now is getting to know Resident #38 and is in his room every four hours if he hits the call light or
not.
Review of the undated facility policy labeled Pain Management revealed the healthcare facility recognizes
the need to identify pain and its underlying cause, as able, that will allow for a prompt response to pain.
This deficiency is an incidental finding identified during the complaint investigation.

record review, interview, review of facility investigation and policy review, the facility failed to ensure
Resident #53 received the ordered food texture resulting in her choking and requiring the Heimlich
maneuver. This affected one (Resident #53) out of three residents removed for modified food texture and

dining room at 3:18 P.M. during an activity program and began choking on a piece of sausage. Initially,
Resident #53 was able to talk but with continued coughing her airway became increasingly obstructed. The
Heimlich procedure was done with five thrusts, and Resident #53 was able to cough out the food. She was
assessed and vital signs were taken with no concerns for wheezing or shortness of breath. The physician
was notified and a new order for vital signs every four hours for 24 hours was obtained.

pointed to Contracted Behavioral Health Aide #506 and reported that she gave her a bratwurst, and
Resident #53 was not supposed to have it. Resident #66 confirmed that Resident #53 began choking, and
the nurse had to do the Heimlich maneuver to get it out. Resident #66 reported it was scary to watch.
Interview on 06/04/25 at 10:38 A.M. with Contracted Behavioral Health Aide #506 confirmed she did give
Resident #53 the bratwurst, and she did choke on it and require the Heimlich maneuver. Contracted
Behavioral Health Aide #506 reported that the facility keeps a logbook in the activity and lunchroom that
states every resident's diet, and they were to check the book before giving any food to the residents. She
reported that it was her second day at the facility, and she did not check.
Interview on 06/04/25 at 10:45 A.M. with Resident #53 confirmed she did eat the bratwurst and choked.
