The clinical record lacked a progress note related to the Post Dialysis Assessment on 3/7/25. On 3/13/25 at 9:00 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) provided a (name of dialysis center) Pre Treatment/Post Treatment form, dated 3/7/25. The form indicated the Pre Treatment Assessment was to be completed by the facility nurse and the Post Treatment Assessment was to be completed by the dialysis nurse. Both assessments were signed by the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The completed Post Treatment Assessment did not include the name of the nurse from the dialysis center that completed the assessment. On 3/13/25 at 10:15 A.M., the ADON indicated that it was her signature on both the Pre and Post Treatment Assessment forms, but she did not perform the Post Treatment Assessment herself. She indicated that she received the Post Assessment information by phone from the dialysis nurse.

A current care plan, initiated 1/10/25, indicated Resident D was at risk for falls due to cerebral infarction, neuropathy, and arthritis. A fall risk assessment, dated 2/9/25, resulted in a score of 9.0 indicating Resident D was a low fall risk (a high fall risk was a score of 10.0 or greater). The assessment indicated the resident had one to two falls in the past three months and required the use of assistive devices for mobility (wheelchair, walker, cane, furniture). A nursing progress note, dated 2/28/25, indicated Resident D had an unwitnessed fall while attempting to self-transfer from his wheelchair to the bed. A fall risk assessment, dated 2/28/25, resulted in a score of 2.0 indicating Resident D was a low fall risk. The assessment indicated the resident had no falls in the past three months and did not require the use of assistive devices for mobility. An Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Note, dated 3/3/25 at 9:10 A.M., indicated the IDT met to review Resident D's fall on 3/2/25. The clinical record lacked documentation to indicate Resident D sustained a fall on 3/2/25.

On 3/13/25 at 11:06 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated Resident D did not fall on 3/2/25 and the date was documented wrong in the IDT note. On 3/13/25 at 1:47 P.M., the DON indicated that staff needed to be re-educated on documentation. She indicated documentation that Resident D's resident representative was notified of the fall that occurred on 3/4/25 the same day, but the information in the incident report was not carried over into the clinical record. At that time, she indicated the fall risk assessments for Resident D and Resident M were filled out incorrectly resulting in an inaccurate fall risk score. The DON indicated the nurse that took blood pressures for Resident B documented the location of the blood pressure in error and did not take the blood pressure in her left arm On 3/13/25 at 1:50 P.M., the Administrator provided a current Charting and Documentation policy, revised 8/2024, that indicated The following information is to be documented in the resident medical record .Treatments or services performed; .Events, incidents or accidents involving the resident; and Progress toward or changes in the care plan goals and objectives.

F309G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to provide pain assessment and management, for 2 of 7 sampled residents reviewed for pain, in the total sample of 29, in that a resident experienced pain during Activities of Daily Living without intervention, and a resident was made to wait over an hour for requested pain medication, resulting in pain rated at a 10 (most severe) and refusal of therapy due to pain. (#114, #185) Findings include: 1. Resident #114 was observed during a bed bath and incontinence care, provided by CNA #1 on 2/14/11 at 10:30 a.m. The resident was observed to require total assistance for the bath and was observed to have upper and lower extremity contractures. Whenever the resident was turned, repositioned, and/or arms and legs stretched to provide the bath, the resident would moan and grimace. On 2/14/11 at 11:55 a.m., LPN #3 was interviewed. She indicated the resident had [MEDICATION NAME] (pain medication) that could be given to her in the mornings prior to her morning care. CNA #1 was also interviewed with the nurse and indicated, "She was better this morning, usually she's louder." On 2/16/11 at 9:30 a.m., LPN #3 was interviewed. She indicated it seemed the pain medication had helped the resident, when given in the early morning 2/15/11, and they had given it again that morning and had faxed the physician about getting something routine for pain management with Activities of Daily Living. She indicated when she had cared for the resident, providing medications through a gastrostomy tube, the resident had not shown signs of pain. "I guess the CNAs will need to be more vigilant in telling us if they are having pain with care," she stated. Resident #114's clinical record was reviewed on 2/9/11 at 2:45 p.m. The most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment, dated 1/14/11, failed to identify any pain issues. There was no indication an assessment for pain had been completed when the resident was receiving care involving turning and repositioning, or having a bath. There was no care plan for pain management. The policy and procedure for Pain Management, dated as reviewed February, 2010, was provided by the Director of Nurses on 2/15/11 at 12:50 p.m. The policy and procedure indicated the following: "Residents who are unable to self-report (pain) due to age, level of consciousness, cognitive issues or other factors will be evaluated using behavioral or neurological responses. Behavioral responses include: altered body position, moaning, sighing, grimacing, crying, restlessness, muscle twitching, decreased activity, wincing, irritability, abnormal gait, failure to move an extremity, etc....Health care professionals should recognize that pain may not be accompanied by objective symptoms and complete the pain assessment form accordingly." "Patients who cannot self-report should have interventions based on assessment findings." "In the event a resident has a treatment which may cause pain, medication to be given should be administered 30-45 minutes prior to beginning the procedure." 2. Resident #185 was observed to receive his morning medication on 2/14/11. At 7:55 a.m., LPN #5 prepared the resident's medication. At 8:00 a.m., he received his medicine while in his room. At 8:15 a.m., LPN #5 indicated the resident wanted a pain pill; the LPN stated, "I'll just wait til after breakfast." At 8:35 a.m., LPN #5 prepared another resident's medications, while standing outside Resident #185's room. The resident stated from his room, "I need something for pain." LPN #5 stated, "I'll be with you, you will be next." From the time of 8:35 a.m. to 9:10 a.m., the therapy transporter was observed to approach Resident #185 four times for therapy; he was heard to instruct her that he was waiting on his pain medicine. The therapy transporter informed the nurse of the resident's need for pain medication, after the first interaction with the resident. The nurse informed the therapy transporter he (resident #185) would be next. At 9:10 a.m., the resident was overheard telling the therapy transporter, "I don't understand, having pain and suffering, and want something for it." At 9:10 a.m., LPN #5 questioned the resident regarding rating his pain, he stated "10" (ten) the worst in his hip and foot. He requested the strongest pain pill he had ordered. At 9:15 a.m., [MEDICATION NAME] 50 mg (milligrams) one tablet was given by LPN #5. The physician's orders [REDACTED]." The last dose was recorded on 2/14/11 at 0045 (12:45 a.m.) for feet and toe pain. The resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 12/17/10, listed the following as the pain assessment: receives prn (as needed) pain medication, non medicated interventions for pain used, pain or hurting in last 5 days, frequently, hard to sleep at noc(night) due to pain, have limited day to day activity due to pain, moderate pain. 3.1-37(a)
