F 0697 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 closed medical record review, staff interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to implement pain management interventions timely to address resident pain. This affected one (#78) of three residents reviewed for pain management. The facility census was 77.Findings include:Review of the closed medical record for Resident #78 revealed an admission date of 01/02/26 and a discharge date of 01/14/26.

On 01/03/26, Resident #78 was discharged to the facility with an order for oxycodone five milligrams (mg) by mouth every eight hours, if needed, for pain for up to three days.Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #78 had intact cognition, as evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. Further review of the MDS revealed Resident #78 was on opioid medication.Review of the care plan dated 01/04/25 revealed Resident #78 was at risk for pain due to lumbago (pain and stiffness in the lower back) with sciatica and neuropathy. Interventions included administering analgesics as ordered by the doctor, offering non-pharmacological pain interventions, and notifying the physician if interventions were unsuccessful or if current complaint was a significant change from resident's past experience of pain.Review of the physician orders for Resident #78 revealed orders dated 01/02/26 to assess pain and discomfort every shift and oxycodone five mg, give one tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed for pain.Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for January 2026 revealed oxycodone five mg was not administered from 01/02/26 through 01/05/26. Review of Pain Level Summary revealed Resident #78 had a pain level of two and four on 01/02/26, a pain level of three and four on 01/03/26, a pain level of 4 on 01/04/26, and a pain level of three, four, and six on 01/05/26.Interview on 01/21/26 at 9:54 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #78 was admitted to the facility with a prescription for oxycodone. The DON stated Resident #78's prescription was not faxed to the pharmacy upon admission, so the medication was not received by the facility. The DON further stated that Resident #78's daughter was often in the building, or on the phone with Resident #78, and would tell the DON that Resident #78 was in pain. The DON stated on 01/05/26, it was discovered that the oxycodone prescription was never sent to the pharmacy and nursing was made aware and instructed to pull from the contingency box (c-box; on hand supply of medications for immediate use). The DON stated on 01/06/26, Resident #78 was in her room crying from pain. The DON asked Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #138 if the medication was available and LPN #138 stated that it did not come in the tote (from the pharmacy) and LPN #138 did not call to pull the medication (authorization needed from the pharmacy to remove narcotic medications from the c-box). The DON confirmed oxycodone was available for administration to Resident #78 to help manage her pain, but nursing staff did not access it from the c-box for administration. Additionally, the DON stated Resident #78 requested an ice pack to help ease her pain and nursing staff told the resident there were no ice packs available, adding there were multiple ice packs available at each nurses' station. The DON verified Resident #78 was not provided neither pain medication or non-pharmacological interventions to manager her pain from 01/02/26 through 01/05/26. Review of the facility policy titled, Pain Management, dated 04/28/25, revealed the facility must ensure that pain management was provided to residents who required such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences. Non-pharmacological interventions would include, but not limited to, physical modalities such as cold compress.This deficiency represents Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 365737 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 5 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 365737 B.
