Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to evaluate effectiveness of pain medication consistent with professional standards for one of three
sampled residents. (Resident 3)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled, Pain Management, Last reviewed November 1, 2023, revealed that
when using medications to treat pain, nursing staff was to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication to
ensure appropriate treatment.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 3 had diagnoses that included dementia, difficulty walking,
and osteoporosis. Since September 24, 2021, the resident had an ongoing physician's order that staff
administer a pain medication (acetaminophen 650 milligrams) as needed for mild pain (pain rated 1-3 on a
scale of 1-10). On May 13, 2024, at 7:30 p.m., a nurse noted that the resident fell and was found on her left
side. According to the Medication Administration Records (MARs), that night at 10:23 p.m., a nurse
administered the acetaminophen for pain rated at a 3. There was no documentation that the nurse
assessed the resident afterwards to determine if the medication was effective. Documentation on the MAR
the following morning at 6:03 a.m., indicated that the resident's pain had worsened to a 6. The nurse again
administered the acetaminophen despite the pain being more severe than mild. Additionally, there was no
evidence that the nurse notified the physician to obtain orders for additional pain management appropriate
to the severity of the resident's pain.
During an interview on July 8, 2024, at 1:30 p.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that nursing staff
should have documented whether or not the pain medication was effective.
