Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that pain management was provided to
residents who required such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the
comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' goals and preferences for one (Residents #1)
of six residents reviewed for pain management.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was assessed, monitored and received effective pain
management by LVN A after Resident #1 was found on the floor with indications of pain when mumbling
and grumbling during transfer at time of unwitnessed fall on 02/24/24 at 12:17 AM. Resident #1 received no
pain management from LVN A.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 received pain medication until after a 9 hour delay after the an
unwitnessed fall. Resident #1 exhibited increasing signs of pain indicated by facial grimacing, moaning and
holding her left hip. LVN B failed to follow Resident #1's prn physician order of administering Tylenol 500 mg
before the 4 hours and failed to notify the physician of Resident #1's pain medication not being effective.
3. The facility failed to ensure effective pain management was provided to Resident #1 resulting in
increased indicators of pain which resulted in 911 being called after Resident #1's POA intervention to
contact Physician. Resident #1 was admitted to the hospital (19 hour delay since pain onset) for a left
displaced hip fracture and had surgery to repair the fracture
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 07/17/24. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on

scope of pattern and severity level of potential for more than minimal harm because all staff had not been
trained on pain management.
These failures placed residents at risk of experiencing significant pain, discomfort and hospitalization.
Findings include:

admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] from the hospital.

pillow propped under her knee. POA said it seemed like the resident could not get comfortable because
when she would make any movement with the left leg she would cry and grab it. She stated Resident #1

nurse said they needed to call the doctor to get an order and that the nurse would call. The POA checked a
few minutes later and the nurse was helping a different resident and the POA and family member stated
they would call 911 and nurse said no, she would do it immediately. The POA stated that she was frustrated
that it seemed to take another 45 minutes before they had the call from Physician C to send resident to
hospital via ambulance. The POA stated that the resident ended up having a fracture and had hip surgery.

why Resident #1 received Tylenol 500 mg on 02/24/2024 at 9 am and then at 12:24 pm because it was too
soon for another dose that if contacted he would have ordered a Tylenol #3 which is slightly stronger to
manage the pain. Physician C stated that his expectation was if a resident's pain was not controlled then he
would be called and he would either order stronger pain medication or send the resident to the hospital.

a suspicion of injury or the resident had uncontrolled pain, then they can send her to the ER themselves.

stated that the Administrator stated she knew and understood and had turned it in [to HHSC].
Interview on 07/16/2024 at 2:42 PM via phone with Physician C revealed he was notified in the middle of
the night on 02/24/2024 that Resident #1 had a fall with some pain with movement and he ordered a STAT
x-ray. He stated he thought he was called again later in the morning about the resident having some pain
and he ordered Tylenol 500 mg every 4 hours as needed and asked about the status of the x-ray and was
told they were waiting for x-ray to arrive. He stated he did not know Resident #1 was experiencing
increasing pain until later into the evening when he was contacted by facility and informed that the family
requested Resident #1 be sent to the emergency room (ER) due to her pain levels. He instructed that
Resident #1 be sent to the hospital for an evaluation due to the level of pain resident had and the results of
the x-ray were still pending. Physician C stated he reviewed the nurse's progress notes and did not know
why Resident #1 received Tylenol 500 mg on 02/24/2024 at 9 am and then at 12:24 pm because it was too
soon for another dose that if contacted he would have ordered a Tylenol #3 which is slightly stronger to
manage the pain. Physician C stated that his expectation was if a resident's pain was not controlled then he
would be called and he would either order stronger pain medication or send the resident to the hospital.
Physician C stated that he expected the nurses to use their judgement and if a resident fell, and there was
a suspicion of injury or the resident had uncontrolled pain, then they can send her to the ER themselves.

to be in much pain but only mumbled and grumbled during transfer back into bed. She states she notified
the doctor and the POA and an x-ray was ordered STAT by physician due to resident having some pain.
LVN A stated she did not remember giving any pain medication to Resident #1 on her shift. LVN A stated
she noticed later into her shift that Resident #1 was having more pain and discomfort when moving her
lower extremities. She stated she contacted x-ray company about the STAT x-ray by phone but could not
recall when she called the STAT x-ray in. LVN A stated she notified LVN B at shift change of Resident #1
