F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 07/05/2024 and 2 days later, Resident #1began to complain about a lot of pain. ADON A stated after Resident #1's verbalized pain the facility advocated for an x-ray, but that Resident #1 was still walking around up to that point. ADON A stated Resident #1 always complained about her chronic knee pain. ADON A stated Resident #1 would often refuse medications and care, and to persuade Resident #1 to receive an x-ray, for her, was identical to pulling teeth. ADON A stated Resident #1 on 07/05/2024 did not show any indication of unusual pain other than her chronic knee and thigh pain. ADON A stated Resident #1 was seen on 07/06/2024, was seen wandering in the hallway. ADON A stated on 07/07/2024 Resident #1 exhibited signs of severe pain and the primary care physician was notified. ADON A stated on 07/08/2024 Resident #1 again exhibited unmanaged pain to which an x-ray was ordered, and results concluded Resident #1 had an acute fracture. ADON A stated Resident #1 was very hard to treat as Resident #1 would refuse care. ADON A stated while reviewing 07/06/2024's progress note, as LVN A described a different area of pain, the expectation would be for the nurse to notify the practitioner of the pain irregularity. ADON A stated Resident #1's complaints of knee and thigh pain were not out of character. ADON A stated, while reading LVN A's 07/06/2024 progress notes, LVN A should have notified the primary care physician as an effort to advocate for the well-being of Resident #1. ADON A stated LVN A had previously been re-educated on a separate nursing matter concerning documentation, and stated once LVN A returns she will be removed from independently caring for residents and will be retrained with another staff member. ADON A reiterated that LVN A should have notified the primary care physician of Resident #1's groin pain, and potentially compromised the resident's well-being. ADON A stated while reviewing the progress notes, the resident's pain was being managed on 07/06/2024, and it wasn't until the following day on 07/07/2024 that Resident #1 exhibited pain that was then deemed unmanageable, to which the nurses advocated for additional interventions including medications and x-rays. ADON A stated LVN A is out on maternity leave. ADON A stated while, reviewing Resident #1's progress notes if Resident #1 had a change in pain location or an increase in pain, LVN A should have notified the primary care physician to inquire about any additional interventions, and stated LVN A had been educated on notifying physicians. ADON A stated she would want to see that staff was doing something about the pain. ADON A stated she would provide those above mentioned LVN A re-trainings. During an interview on 12/16/2024 at 3:29PM the DON stated she has worked for this facility since the end of June 2024. The DON stated Resident #1 had horrible knee pain and it was difficult to see Resident #1 endure the pain while Resident #1 walked the hallway. The DON stated she does not know what LVN A was thinking or her intent on 07/06/2024, but that Resident #1 would not be able to verbalize pain. The DON stated the expectation of the facility would be to follow the professional standard of nursing and conduct a thorough head to toe exam and notify the primary care provider if any irregularities are noted. The DON stated she could not provide a definitive answer regarding if pain would be an irregular finding. The DON stated she could not give a definitive answer or what was an abnormal and normal finding regarding a pain assessment. The DON stated Resident #1 was still ambulating on 07/05/2024 and 07/06/2024, but if LVN A found something irregular during her assessment, she should have notified the primary care physician, as an effort to advocate for the well-being of Resident #1. The DON stated the groin is anatomically different from the knees and thighs, and that if she were the nurse taking care of the resident, she would have notified the physician of Resident #1's groin pain. The DON stated any unusual findings on assessment the provider would be notified. The DON stated if LVN A did not notify the physician of Resident #1's complaint of groin pain on 07/06/2024, she could have potentially compromised the well-being of Resident #1, by prolonging pain endurance.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident #1's pain was being managed, but that there appeared to be no documentation of notifying the physician of Resident #1's groin pain.
