or potential for actual harm
Based on clinical record review, review of select facility policies, and resident and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that pain management was provided that was consistent with
professional standards of practice for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the current facility policy entitled Pain Assessment/Management, revealed at the time of a pain
interview, if it is determined that the resident is having pain on a scale of 7 to10, or severe pain (regardless
of frequency), or is having frequent or constant pain (that the resident does not feel is tolerable), the
resident will be placed on a pain management program, unless otherwise documented on the pain
assessment. The pain management program consists of assessing/observing for pain at least every shift
and updating the physician if pain is not being managed effectively. Pain management will be documented
on the Medication Administration Record (MAR, a form utilized to document the administration of
medications) by licensed staff. The charge nurse will update the physician if the resident's pain is not being
managed effectively.
Clinical record review revealed the facility admitted Resident 1 on June 26, 2024, with diagnosis including
displaced bimalleolar fracture of right lower leg (a severe injury to the ankle joint and bones of the lower
leg) and displaced osteochondral fracture of her right patella (a break in the cartilage and bone of the
kneecap).
Nursing documentation dated January 19, 2025, at 6:15 AM revealed the registered nurse found Resident 1

Documentation revealed Resident 1 was assisted from the floor with a maxi lift and three staff. Resident 1
was noted to be yelling out in pain during the entire process. The registered nurse noted Resident 1's
verbalization of pain did not match her cathartic reaction. The registered nurse noted as needed Tylenol and
an ice pack were provided for pain relief.
Nursing documentation dated January 19, 2025, at 6:15 AM revealed the licensed practical nurse found
Resident 1 lying on the floor in her bathroom doorway complaining of severe pain.
Review of Resident 1's neurological checklist dated January 19, 2025, noted staff assessed Resident 1's
pain as a seven out of 10, noting she grimaced and showed nonverbal signs of pain.
