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 observation, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure that pain management is provided to residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for 1 out of 4 residents (Resident #6) reviewed for pain management. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to adequately assess and treat Resident #6's pain prior to or during wound care. This failure could place residents at risk for unnecessary pain, discomfort, and decreased quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #6's admission Record, dated 2/22/25, revealed the resident was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: Alzheimer's Disease (disease affecting memory and other important mental functions) , Peripheral Vascular Disease (circulatory condition in which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs) , chronic pain, Dementia (group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), and Cognitive Communication Deficit (difficulty with thinking and language) . Record review of Resident #6's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/18/24, revealed she had a BIMS score of 5, severe cognitive impairment.

F 0697 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few steri-strips and dressing, redness, and edema to the peri-wound area. Further observation revealed Resident #6 seemed to express pain during the procedure by repeatedly saying ay, ay and reached for her right calf. RN L continued with treatment and Resident #6 continued to complain of pain and reached for her right calf. RN L said she did not know if Resident #6 was complaining of pain or was scared and continued with the treatment. RN L completed the treatment and Resident #6 continued to complain of pain, repeatedly saying ay, ay. At 3:48 pm, RN L asked Resident #6 if she had pain and needed pain medication, Resident #6 said yes. During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:00 pm, RN L said Resident #6 was not medicated for pain prior to wound care treatment. During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:07 pm, RN L said she assessed Resident #6 for pain when she explained the procedure and the resident said no and then said no se (I do not know). RN L further stated she did not know if Resident #6 was saying I don't know because she did not know what RN L was asking or if she had pain. RN L said she normally stopped treatments if a resident knew what she was saying. RN L further stated she tried to be gentle because she did not know if Resident #6 was hurting, and she offered pain medication after she was done with the treatment. RN L said Resident #6 was not saying ouch, she was saying ay as in pain or ahi as in there, in Spanish. RN L further stated she did not stop the treatment because she was very gentle and knew that she was not causing the resident pain. RN L said Resident #6 was saying ay, ay but she did not see any frowning or gestures suggesting Resident #6 was hurting, RN L further stated resident #6 kept putting her hand near the wound area, and it seemed like the resident wanted to scratch, not stop RN L. RN L said normally residents say they were in pain or she could see that they were hurting. RN L said Resident #6 could not have been in pain during wound care because she was being gentle during the treatment to Resident #6's right calf and the resident was not frowning. RN L further stated signs expressed by residents unable to use words to express their feelings included: frowning, moaning, and guarding the affected area. RN L further stated that she only stopped treatments when residents specifically said stop. RN L further stated Resident #6 was reaching for her right calf but thought she reached to scratch more than protecting the area. During an interview on 2/24/25 at 2:19 pm, LVN M said she did not know Spanish but every time Resident #6 was moved she said ay. LVN M further stated it was hard to tell when Resident #6 was in pain but thought when the resident said ay she was in pain. LVN M said when Resident #6 reached down for her leg she probably wanted the treatment to be stopped, did not want to be touched. LVN M further stated some non-verbal pain cues included guarding, grimacing, pushing, striking out, and tensing up. LVN M said Resident #6 expressed the tension, guarding, and she was trying to push RN L's hand away while she assisted RN L with wound care on 2/22/25. LVN M said the facility's expectation was to medicate prior to wound care if needed. LVN M further stated the nurse was asked to medicate Resident #6, but this was done after the treatment was completed. LVN M said she would have stopped the treatment and asked the nurse to medicate Resident #6 when she seemed to be in pain. LVN M further stated it was important to medicate resident prior to wound care when needed to decrease pain and the resident did not suffer or experience distress during treatments. LVN M said she did not think Resident #6 had pain medication ordered to be administered prior to treatments but added she had PRN Tylenol ordered for pain. During an interview on 2/25/25 at 4:59 pm, the DON said the facility policy stated to assess residents for pain when treatments were provided but it did not address when the assessment should be completed.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments for 1 of 6 medication carts (Treatment Cart) reviewed for medication storage. The facility failed to ensure the Treatment Cart was locked when unattended on (3) occasions. This failure could place residents at risk of medication misuse and drug diversion. Findings included: Observation on 2/22/25 beginning at 3:19 pm, RN L entered Resident #2's room, closed the door, and prepared to provide wound care leaving the treatment cart unlocked. Further observation revealed the treatment cart was unlocked when RN L opened Resident #2's room door after the treatment was completed. Observation revealed there were two CNAs on the hall when RN L exited the room. Further observation revealed RN L re-entered Resident #2's room, leaving the treatment cart unlocked. RN L was observed entering the resident's room to wash her hands, leaving the treatment cart unlocked. Further observation revealed a nurse at the far end of the hall preparing medications, a resident and unlicensed staff on the hall at the time of observation. During an interview on 2/22/25 at 4:00 pm, RN L said she was not allowed to leave the treatment cart unlocked because it was a risk, and anyone can access the cart including residents. RN L further stated residents could get hurt because they did not know what it was, and they can get into it. RN L said the cart contained treatments, such as betadine, alcohol pads, triple antibiotic ointment, and other treatments. RN L further stated there were ambulatory residents on hall the treatment cart was on. RN L said the facility policy was that the carts were locked whenever her back was turned to it. RN L said she guessed she overlooked locking the cart. During an interview on 2/25/25 at 12:17 pm, the DON said she expected medication/treatments carts to be locked when unattended. The DON further stated leaving carts unlocked when unattended was a safety issue because the facility had confused residents that could gain access to what is stored in the carts, such as, medications and treatments. The DON said it was the facility's policy that carts were locked when unattended.
