The DON said the MDS nurse or the floor nurse could add this to the resident's care plan. She said the risk of harm to the residents if a leg anchor for the urinary catheter was not on the care plan would be pulling on the urinary catheter which could cause trauma to the resident, resulting in bleeding and/or pulling out the catheter. Record review on 05/31/2024 at 01:00 PM, revealed that resident did not have any care plan regarding use of a leg anchor for her urinary catheter.

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 interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that pain management was provided to residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice and the residents' goals and preferences for one (Resident #49) of 12 residents reviewed for pain control . Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure that Resident #49's request, and physician's order to administer Tylenol 4 (Acetaminophen-Codeine Oral Tablet 300-60 MG) were carried out in a timely manner. This failure could put residents at increased risk for pain and decreased quality of life. Findings included: Record review of Resident #49's face sheet dated 05/31/2024 revealed she was [AGE] years old and was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #49's History and Physical dated 4/4/2024 revealed she had a past medical history of chronic pain in her lower extremities (legs). She had paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) and polyneuropathy (damaged nerves) for which she was prescribed Lyrica and Ibuprofen. Record review of Resident #49's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 13 (cognitively intact). She had experienced pain frequently over the five lookback days that frequently affected her sleep. Her pain had caused her to occasionally limit her day-to-day activities. Her worst pain over the previous five days had been at an 8 on a zero to ten scale, with zero being no pain and ten as the worst pain. Record review of Resident #49's MAR dated 5/5/2024 revealed she received 3 Gabapentin capsules (300 MG each) three times a day to address autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage that can cause pain); 600 MG of Ibuprofen every 6 hours as needed for pain, and Tylenol with Codeine #3 300- 30 MG every 4 hours as needed for pain. In interviews on 05/28/2024 at 8:15 AM and on 05/29/24 at 09:49 AM , Resident #49 expressed concern that the facility had not been responsive to her requests for more effective pain medications. She said she had been taking Tylenol 3 but had asked the doctor for Tylenol 4. She said the doctor said it would be ordered, but she had never received it. In an interview on 05/29/24 at 09:49 AM Resident #49 she said she asked the doctor for Tylenol 4 for her pain. She said the doctor said it would be ordered, but it had been a week or two since she had asked the doctor for the increase in medications . She said she wanted to change to a different doctor because her current physician was not responding to her needs. Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 4/11/24 at 1:31 PM revealed the resident had informed Physician O that the Tylenol #3 was not working and wanted Tylenol #4.

No medication was documented as having been administered. Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 4/16/24 at 9:34 AM revealed a new order was received from Physician O's nurse practitioner to discontinue the Tylenol #4 order and switch back to the Tylenol #3 order as before. The note did not give a reason for the change. Record review of Resident #49's physician orders revealed an order dated 05/15/2024 and discontinued on 05/21/2024 for Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-60 MG Tablet to be given every four hours as needed for pain. Resident #49 had another order for Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-60 MG Tablet to be given every four hours as needed for pain dated 05/26/2024 and 5/28/24. Review of Resident #49's MAR for May revealed that Acetaminophen-Codeine 300-60 MG Tablets were not administered during those time periods. Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 5/21/24 revealed an order was received from Physician O's nurse practitioner to discontinue the Tylenol #4 at that time. Record review of Resident #49's nursing progress note by LVN F dated 05/30/2024, revealed she spoke to Physician O who asked the nurse to contact the pharmacy to see if they need a triplicate or a signed prescription on a prescription pad, and that the LVN learned from the pharmacy that the pharmacy was unable to get Tylenol #4 because it had been on back order for months and unaware when will be able to get it. LVN F's note indicated that she informed Physician O of this issue. In an interview on 05/30/2024 at 12:00 PM, Physician O stated he had written an order for Resident #49's Tylenol #4 but was just told that it was on back-order the past two months per pharmacy. He stated that Resident #49had been on Tylenol III but wanted Tylenol IV . In an interview on 05/31/24 at 09:34 AM, LVN F revealed she had received Resident #49's Physician order for Tylenol #4 and that she had entered the order, and it should appear on Resident #49's April 2024 MAR. She stated that the status right now was that the order was discontinued. She said she called the pharmacy on 05/30/2024 to see if the pharmacy needed a prescription or a triplicate and was told the medication was on back order. LVN F said the resident was sent to the pain center and had been getting Tylenol 3 as needed. The LVN said the Tylenol 3 was usually effective not in alleviating the pain but in dropping the level of the pain. She said she had spoken to the ADON, with a corporate level staff member, and with the DON about the issue in getting the resident the Tylenol 4. LVN F stated that the potential impact on the resident was that she could lose confidence in the facility and doctor (now she wants to switch). She said she did not know if the resident's pain control would be better. She said the resident could have depression due to being in constant pain and less motivation for movement or activities. In an interview on 5/31/24 at 3:34 PM, the DON revealed that the nurses should have been following up to see what the delay was in obtaining Tylenol #4 for Resident #49. If they had followed up, they might have received the pain medication or heard sooner it was on back order and sought a solution. The DON said that the risk to the resident was that her pain may not have been as well-controlled as it could have been. A policy and procedure on pain management was requested .
