OTR stated, What I thought was so sad was I could hear her from her room, around the corner, and into our gym. OTR stated she thought nursing staff tried to give Resident #4 pain medication prior to the procedure. She added, But I don't think they gave it enough time to kick in. OTR stated ADON told her the medication did not have enough time to take effect. OTR stated she had witnessed wound vacs being applied in other settings and she had never heard anyone express the kind of pain Resident #4 was expressing.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 06/27/24 at 03:49 PM LVN B stated she was the charge nurse who called Resident #4's PCP to get an order for pain medication the facility had on hand in the e-kit. She stated she gave Resident #4 the pain medication before the wound vac was applied. During an interview on 06/28/24 at 09:05 AM MD E stated, Some patients are more sensitive to the wound vacs than others. She stated some of Resident #4's pain was stemming from anxiety. MD E stated, She was a lot more sensitive on the stump area, even just touch sensitive. I think there was some neuropathy going on there. MD E stated she was not a witness to the first wound vac change on 05/30/24 but ADON called and told her everything they had done during the procedure. MD E stated ADON told her wipes were used to get the adhesive to loosen. MD E stated, The only thing I think they could have done differently was maybe call primary (PCP) for other/different meds for pain or anxiety. MD E stated she was in the facility for the next wound vac change and Resident #4 was very anxious to receive care. During an interview on 06/28/24 at 09:12 AM ADON stated she was the nurse changing Resident #4's wound vac on 05/30/24. She stated she knew Resident #4 was in pain because she was screaming. She stated she asked Resident #4's charge nurse LVN B to give her a pain pill but the charge nurse stated because Resident #4 was a new admit her hydrocodone was not in the facility. ADON stated she told LVN B to call the PCP and get an order for something we have in e-kit. ADON stated she told previous DON to walk with LVN B to the e-kit as they were calling the PCP to get the order so the process could be accomplished quickly. ADON said, We administered 2 Tylenol 3s (a medication consisting of acetaminophen and codeine). ADON stated LVN B was the nurse who administered the medication. She stated the medication did not seem to work. ADON stated they waited 15 minutes after the medication was administered to begin working on the wound vac application. When asked if she thought that was long enough for the medication to take effect, ADON answered, She (Resident #4) said it was okay. ADON stated as she continued with the procedure Resident #4 was waving her arm in the air and crying Lord Jesus. During an interview on 06/28/24 at 09:53 AM previous DON stated ADON was the facility wound care nurse and the facility policy was if a resident was admitted with a wound vac the facility would change the wound vac so it was compatible with the equipment the facility owned. DON stated she was in the room with ADON as the wound vac was being changed. She stated she was on standby. DON stated Resident #4 was immediately in pain when ADON began the procedure. DON stated she asked ADON if they should get Resident #4 something for the pain. DON stated she asked repeatedly if we should stop and give her time or find another way to do things. DON stated, It was hurting her (Resident #4) so bad. She was screaming and saying, 'Please help me Jesus, make the pain stop!' DON stated ADON did not use antiadhesive wipes to get the adhesive to loosen. She stated, I'm not sure she realized at that point that we had them (antiadhesive wipes). DON stated, I have never seen a patient have this much pain with removal (of a wound vac). DON stated at that point she told ADON they were going to give Resident #4 a break and she (DON) was going to call the PCP for pain medication. DON stated she left the room to get the medication from the e-kit and when she returned with the medication ADON had already pulled the packing from Resident #4's wound and was cutting the new packing to insert into the wound. DON stated she told ADON they had to give Resident #4 some time for the medication to work. DON stated ADON waited about 10 minutes and started repacking the wound. DON stated Resident #4 started to scream and holler again at that point. DON stated she told ADON they needed to give Resident #4 more time and ADON said, The faster we get it over the faster she will stop hurting and continued the procedure. DON stated she stayed with Resident #4 after the procedure and tried to verbally console (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675851 If continuation sheet Page 10 of 14 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675851 B.

F 0697 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few her. She stated Resident #4's pain began to subside 30-45 minutes after the procedure was finished. DON stated, Everything [ADON] did was appropriate to the procedure. What she failed to do was properly assess the patient's pain, call the doctor, and see if there was anything else we could do. DON stated 10 minutes was not long enough to wait for the pain medication to take effect. She stated, I think we should have waited at least 45 minutes to an hour. During an interview on 06/28/24 at 11:58 AM MD D stated 15 minutes was not long enough to wait for pain medication to take effect. He stated, It has to be absorbed and it takes longer than that. He stated the time varies for everybody but there is typically not much of an effect for 30-40 minutes.
