F 0697 stated nursing staff was unaware how to utilize the air mattress effectively. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 06/07/23 at 8:38 A.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #437 revealed being responsible for Resident #52's medication delivery. LPN #437 stated this was their first day working at facility as an agency nurse and was unaware of Resident #52's pain interventions including air mattress application or settings. At 8:45 A.M. interview with Unit Manager Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #290 revealed residents on air mattresses are checked each shift to ensure they are in place. However, the air mattresses are set up by a durable medical equipment company most times and no instruction was given on how to ensure they are operated in accordance with manufacturer instructions. LPN #290 went on to indicate physician orders many times do not indicate specific settings for their intended use. Residents Affected - Few On 06/08/23 at 9:30 A.M. interview with the Director of Nursing verified there was no documentation contained in Resident #52's medical record indicating the operation and effective adjustments to address the comfort level for the air mattress. Additionally, no education was provided to the resident to ensure optimal comfort and assistance with pain relief. Review of the undated air mattress owners manual revealed air lines are not to be threaded through mechanical parts and check to be sure the motion of the bed does not interfere with the air lines. Comfort level selection allows selection of air cylinder firmness. Begin in softest setting, then adjust for comfort as desired. Review of the facility pain clinical protocol revised April 2007 revealed the physician will order appropriate non-pharmacologic and medication interventions to address the individuals pain. Staff will provide elements of a comforting environment and appropriate physical and complimentary interventions; for example local heat or ice, repositioning, massage, and opportunity to talk about chronic pain. The staff will discuss significant changes in levels of comfort with the physician and may include medication adjustments or possible addition of non-pharmacologic interventions.
