Resident #1's pain medication all day on 7/06/23. The DON said it was important to manage resident's pain
so the residents were pain free. The DON said if something was not charted the only way to prove it had
been done would be ask the physician.
During an interview on 7/12/23 at 3:41 p.m. the Medical Director said he was familiar with Resident #1. The
Medical Director said he had not seen Resident #1 in person yet. The Medical Director said the facility had
notified him on 7/06/23 regarding Resident #1's pain. The Medical Director said he could not verify what
time he was notified of Resident #1's pain. The Medical Director said he sent the controlled medication
order to the pharmacy for Resident #1's morphine sulfate and hydrocodone on 7/06/23. The Medical
Director said he could not verify the time the controlled medication orders for these medications was sent to
the pharmacy. The Medical Director said the facility had standing orders from him for residents to receive
Tylenol for pain.
During an observation and interview on 7/13/23 beginning at 12:15 p.m. Resident #1 was lying in the
hospital bed resting. Resident #1 said she did not feel good at all. Resident #1 said she did not remember
speaking to the surveyor last week or her admission to the facility.
During an interview on 7/13/23 at 2:32 p.m. LVN G said she was the nurse who admitted Resident #1 on
7/05/23. LVN G said Resident #1 complained of pain of 9 out of 10. LVN G she had 3 admissions the night

B told her in report that she had to contact the pharmacy after the first pharmacy run regarding Resident
#1's pain medication and reached out to the physician regarding sending the controlled medication order to
the pharmacy. LVN G said that she assumed in the facility's EMR it could be seen when the assessments
had been completed. LVN G said she actually never completed the admission evaluation and locked it due
to not having Resident #1's height and weight. LVN G said there was no way to prove she had administered
Tylenol to Resident #1 due to it not being charted. LVN G said when she came on shift 7/05/23 at 6:00 p.m.
the day shift nurse had already taken report from the hospital on Resident #1. LVN G said the report sheet
it indicated Resident #1's narcotics order had already been sent to the pharmacy. LVN G said she did not
contact the physician regarding Resident #1's pain medication due to being told in report it had been sent
to the pharmacy. LVN G said she did not call the pharmacy to verify the narcotics orders were there
because she had 3 admissions (3 new residents transferred to the facility from home, the hospital, or
another nursing facility) and did not have the time. LVN G said it was important to administer scheduled
pain medication to help keep their pain under control and not let it get to an excruciating level.

On 7/14/2023 the surveyor confirmed the facility implemented their plan of removal sufficiently to remove
the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) by:
Interviews with staff on 7/14/23 between 10:53 a.m. and 11:25 am (LVN A, LVN B, RN C, LVN D, LVN E,
LVN F) were performed. All staff interviewed were able to name types of non-verbal pain indicators,
non-pharmacological pain interventions, when to notify the physician, how to obtain pain medication for
newly admitted residents, what information should be documented in the resident EMR, and proper
medication administration and documentation.
A random sample of resident EMR's were reviewed to ensure pain assessments had been completed on
7/13/23.
Record review of QAPI meeting sign-in sheet dated 7/13/23 indicated appropriate staff in attendance.
Record review of the DON's signed statement indicated pain medication audit and verification had been
completed on all residents receiving pain medication.
While the IJ was removed on 7/14/23, the facility remained out of compliance at actual harm that is not
immediate jeopardy with a scope identified as isolated due to the facility's need to complete in-service
training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
