Findings include: According to R92's Electronic Health Record (EHR) the resident had multiple diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes (adult onset diabetes) without complications. On 4/11/24 the physician prescribed the following insulin orders: Novolog (fast acting insulin) injection per sliding scale (varies the dose of insulin injection based on the blood sugar level) before meals and at bedtime (4 times a day) as follows; for blood sugar reading; 0-200 = zero units of insulin, 201-250 = 1 unit of insulin, 251-300 = 2 units of insulin, 301-350 = 3 units of insulin, 351-400 = 5 units of insulin, and 401- 450 = 5 units of insulin, if over 450 call the physician. The Pharmacy Recommendation for R92 dated 4/22/24 read, This resident has an order for Novolog per sliding scale four times daily. There are currently no orders for scheduled long acting or meal time insulin, nor are there any oral medications for diabetes. Most recent A1C results from April was 4.9 (normal range is below 5.7) and blood sugars for the past 10 days ranged from 94 to 169. No units of sliding scale insulin were used over the past 10 days. Please consider discontinuing the Novolog sliding scale order, as high rates of finger sticks and insulin injections may add to patient discomfort and nursing time expenditures without significant long-term benefit in patient outcomes. On 6/13/24 at 8:30 AM review of R92's EHR did not reveal any documented follow-up from the physician for the Pharmacy Recommendation on 4/22/24. There were no physician or nursing progress notes regarding the resident's blood sugar readings or lack of sliding scale coverage. R92 continued to have blood sugars checked 4 times a day for 51 consecutive days after the Pharmacist's recommendation. A review of R92's Medication Administration Records (MARs) from 4/12/24 - 6/12/24 revealed that all the resident's blood sugar readings were below 200 and no insulin had been administered.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to follow the Standards of Practice during medication administration for three of five residents (R18, R68, and R52) resulting in the potential for medication errors. Findings include: Resident 52 On 6/12/24 at 9:14 AM on the 1 North Hall, Registered Nurse (RN) H was observed standing at the medication cart looking at the computer screen. There was a medication cup with 6 white pills of various shapes sitting on top of the medication cart. There were 2 separate pills inside white plastic pharmacy packaging identified as 'Lasix 20 milligrams (mg)'. There was no resident's name on the packaging. During interview RN H said she was going to pass the 6 pills in the medication cup to R52 but the medications did not match up to what was on R52's Medications Administration Records (MAR). RN H said she had just taken the medication cart from Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) J and the pills were already in the cup. RN H confirmed she did not put the pills in the medication cup herself, did not know which resident's medications were in the cup, or which resident the two Lasix pills on top of the cart were for. At this time RN H said she was going to ask LPN J which resident's medications were in the cup and walked away from the medication cart leaving it unlocked with the computer screen open visibly displaying resident's health information and the 2 Lasix pills on top of the cart. At approximately 9:18 AM RN H returned to the medication cart with LPN J and LPN I to discuss which resident's medications were in the cup. A review of R52's MAR revealed the resident's AM dose of medications were not signed out as administered. R52 was not in the room to be interviewed. RN H could not determine if R52 had received his AM medications and placed the medication cup with the pills inside the medication cart in the section identified for R52 and proceeded to prepare medications for another resident. At approximately 9:40 AM LPN K reported to RN H that R52 was in the lobby being transported to an outside appointment and requested to have the AM medications prior to leaving the facility. LPN K observed the medications in the cup of R52's section of medication cart and said, These are not the right pills. RN H was preparing to administer medications to another resident (R18) and therefore did not administer the medication to R52 at this time. It could not be confirmed which resident's medications were in the cup and they were disposed of in the garbage bag attached to the medication cart by LPN K. On 6/12/24 at approximately 11:00 AM The Director of Nursing (DON) was asked about the medication administration protocol for the facility. The DON said the nurse who removes the medications from the pharmacy packaging and places them in the medication cup should administer those medications to the intended resident prior to handing off the medication cart to another nurse. The DON said a nurse should not administer medications to a resident unless they prepared the medications themselves. Resident 18 On 6/12/24 at 9:38 AM RN H was observed to administer all of R18's medications that were scheduled for 6/12/24 at the AM dose. On 6/13/24 at approximately 11:00 AM during reconciliation of R18's MAR it revealed that LPN J signed out the medications for R18 on 6/12/24 for the AM dose. On 6/13/24 at approximately 11:15 AM Clinical Corporate Director, RN L was asked to review R18's MAR to confirm that RN H did not sign out the medications on 6/12/24 during the AM dose. RN L reviewed the MAR and confirmed that LPN J had signed the MAR for R18 on 6/12/24 during the AM dose. RN L said, I can't explain why that happened. It is a standard of practice that the nurse who administers the medications signs them out on the MAR at the time of administration. Resident 68 On 6/12/24 at 10:15 AM during medication administration with LPN J and LPN I, LPN J was observed to crush the following medications and place in yogurt. 1) Ativan 0.5 mg two pills. 2) Senna 8.6 mg two capsules. Review of R68's MAR and physician's orders did not reveal any orders to crush the medications. During interview LPN J said she was in orientation and LPN I was observing her pass medications. LPN I said, The resident has trouble swallowing her pills whole that is why we crushed them. LPN I reviewed R68's EHR (electronic health record) and confirmed the resident did not have orders to crush the medications for administration. According to the facility's Medication Administration General Guidelines policy dated 1/2021 in part reads; Medications are administered as prescribed in accordance with manufacturers' specifications, good nursing principles and practices, and only by persons legally authorized to do so.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to utilize essential equipment to ensure a functional call light system resulting in call lights not answered in a timely manner, unmet care needs, and the potential delay in responding to emergency situations. This had the potential to affect all residents in the facility that utilize the call light. Findings include: On 6/28/23 at 10:26 a.m. during the initial pool process, R42 was observed resting in bed. The resident was alert, oriented x3, and able to make all needs known. During the interview, R42 voiced concerns with long call light response time, I have sat in bm (bowel movement) for three hours before. Sometimes I just want a cup of water and have to wait a long time. If I was having a heart attack, I could be dead before they would know. I have to flag someone down if they walk by the room to get their attention. They used to have pagers to let them know to come to the room. Now they have to look on the board at the nurse's station. R42 was asked did the facility give a hand-held bell to use. R42 stated, Do you see one . No, they didn't give me nothing. At 11:38 a.m. R42 was requested to activate the call light. The call light indicator that was located outside above the room's door and was not lit to indicate it was activated. Several minutes later, two nurse aides (identified by the color of their uniforms) were observed walking back and forth pass the room without acknowledging the residents call light being on. At 11:42 a.m. a monitor that was mounted to the wall at the nurse's station had R42's room (2 South- 4) displayed on it. There were three nurses at the nursing station. One was sitting at the desk (identified as the Assistant Director of Nursing), and the other two nurses were standing at the medication carts with their back to the monitor. After standing at the nurse's station with a clear view of the 2 South Hall for seven minutes, the nurses at the nurse's station did not look up at the monitor. Between 11:49- 11:57 am nurse aides walked pass the room without addressing the call light and housekeeper was also observed standing in the hall across from R42's room. The call light remained unanswered. At 11:58 a.m. nurse aide D responded to the call light. R42 wanted and requested a cup of water. The nurse was then queried about knowing when resident's call lights are on. Nurse Aide D stated, We used to have pagers. The Administrator was supposed to replace them. So, we just walk back and forth to the nurse's station and look at the board (monitor). It's been a while since we haven't had the pagers. I was told the pagers started disappearing because people were taking them home or losing them and not returning them especially the agency staff. On 6/28/23 at 12:08 p.m. during the initial pool R64 was observed sitting in a wheelchair at the bedside. The resident was alert, oriented x3, and able to make all needs known. During the interview, R64 voiced concerns with long call light response time. R64 stated, We used to have bells we can use but we don't even have those now. I can do a lot for myself, but my roommate will need help, so I have to get somebody's attention when they walk pass the room. We need help around here. What if something happened, we could die waiting for someone to come to the room. I'm glad I'm leaving this place on Friday. I just feel sorry for my roommate. The roommate was observed asleep and did not respond for an interview. On 6/29/23 at 11:00 a.m. the Resident Council Meeting minutes were reviewed for the months of April, May, and June. The minutes dated June 1, 2023, documented, Resident's on 1 South said that call lights are not being answered in a timely manner . The DON addressed the council concerns . Evidence of the call light concern being addressed was not provided. On 6/29/23 at 11:15 a.m. during the Confidential Resident Council meeting, there were 15 alert and oriented x3 residents in attendance. The residents that attended resided on various units within the facility (4- 1 South Hall, 4- 2 North Hall, 7- 2 South Hall). The residents on 2 South and 2 North Halls voiced most concerns with long call light response times. One resident from 2 South Hall said they had a fall and would have waited a long time if they hadn't screamed for help. This was after putting on the call light. Three residents from the 2 North Hall said they have had to wait long periods of time to get changed from toileting on themselves. Five of the residents from 2 South Hall nodded in agreement also having to wait long periods of time to get changed from toileting on themselves. The residents also voiced feeling like second class citizens in the facility. They also voiced feeling ignored by staff. The residents on 1 South Hall said they were given handheld bells once the pagers were not being used to answer the call lights. The residents on 2 North and 2 South Hall said they were not given hand-held bells. On 7/3/23 at 12:45 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and Maintenance Director were interviewed regarding the call light system. They were queried what was put in place to ensure call lights were fully functioning and answered in a timely manner. The Maintenance Director stated, The call light system works. The monitors at the nurse's station work. The call light indicators outside of the rooms do not work because they were part of the old system and could not be linked to the new system. We do have handheld bells in the building but not given to the residents. The NHA stated, We have been without pagers for a while . at least since I started here in January. Some of the pagers were lost. We have new pagers now that had to get reprogrammed. They were reprogrammed earlier this month. I have been trying to come up with a system and protocols, so they won't be lost by staff. I have also been waiting to in-service new and old staff so we could in-service them all at once. The nurses and CNAs are to pay attention to the monitors, but nothing has been put in place for sound as an indicator. I planned to implement the pager system this week. Review of the facility's policy titled Call Light Policy dated 5/1/2017 documented the following: Call lights will receive consistent and adequate response in order to best meet the individual needs of each resident . Call light activation will be identified by a light above the resident doorway and an audible alarm at/near each nursing station or a paging system with monitors . Each staff member is responsible to respond to call lights and provide assistance as their level of training allows.

On 4/27/22 at 11:27 AM, R70 was observed seated in her wheelchair with her RP seated next to her. R70's RP said, I notified the staff about it (the blister) and then something was done about it. We did not know how she got it. She still has a scar. R70's RP pointed to a darkened area of cicatrix (scar of a healed wound) that approximated 1/2 inch wide and 4 inches long on R70's left wrist and forearm. R70 was unable to be interviewed due to severely impaired cognition status. During observation R70's eyes were closed, and she was nonverbal. R70 made repetitive involuntary movements with her left and right hands/arms. R70's left arm and hand were resting at her side with her left hand over the corner edge of the wheelchair seat. Her left hand and wrist were rubbing against the bar of the wheelchair's left armrest. There was no barrier between R70's left wrist/forearm and the metal bar of the armrest. According to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) R70 had multiple diagnoses [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . A progress noted written by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 'D' dated 3/18/2022 reads, Document relevant information about the resident: resident has blisters on left hand and forearm, alert for wound care to see today. On 3/21/2022 (3 days later), the physician ordered an X-ray of R70's left forearm/hand area and prescribed: Antibiotic Ointment ([MEDICATION(S)]) apply to left hand/forearm topically two times a day and monitor blistered area twice a day. The skin assessment dated [DATE] documented; observed an intact serum filled blister L (length)=10.7 (centimeters) x W (width)=1.2 (centimeters) and a ruptured dry blister. On 4/28/22 at 11:44 AM LPN 'D' confirmed R70 had developed blisters on her left forearm/wrist area and the back of her left hand. LPN 'D' said, I'm not sure how she got them, but I think it's from the wheelchair. On 4/28/22 at 12:30 PM the Director of Nursing (DON) 'B' was asked about R70's left wrist/forearm blisters. DON B could not provide any documentation to support that a thorough investigation had been conducted for R70's blisters of unknown origin. DON 'B' said, We think it's from her reaching behind to scratch her back and rubbing her hand against the wheelchair. So, no formal investigation was done. On 4/28/22 at 4:00 PM the Regional Clinical Director (RCD) 'I' and Administrator (ADM) 'A' were asked about the facility's policy regarding 'injury of unknown origin'. RCD 'I' said that an investigation should be initiated as soon as the injury is discovered. Both RCD 'I' and ADM 'A' confirmed no investigation was done for R70's blisters. RCD 'I' said that the therapy department will assess and review R70's wheelchair for positioning, cushions, and 'sheep skin' covering of the armrest. According to the facility's 'Abuse, Neglect and/or Misappropriation of Resident Funds or Property' revised on 12/10/18; xi) Injury of Unknown Origin - is an injury that was not observed and could not be easily explained by the resident and the injury is suspicious do to the severity, location, or number of injuries at once or over time. e) Investigation i) (1) The investigation shall be initiated immediately, after the Administrator has knowledge of the incident . ii) (a) Interview the resident,,,and all witnesses.

Physician G stated, Besides the clinical picture of a history of vomiting and diarrhea, and poor dietary intake, I recommended starting IV (intravenous) fluids and encouraged (oral) fluids. I remember ordering IV fluids. During an interview on 11/4/2021 at 9:05 AM, Physician G stated, I've been following (R55) for about six years maybe more. She has a history of PEG tube and a fistula that oozes. The GI specialist said if (R55) was kept on parental nutrition that may have helped the fistula to heal but that never happened. Lately she has had CKD ([CONDITION(S)]) but is not followed by a nephrologist for that. I am monitoring her CKD. She has [CONDITION(S)]. Physician G said he couldn't explain the Hgb of 4.6. It's probably from her GI-track. She was losing weight recently. During an interview and review on 11/3/2021 at 4:00 PM of R55's clinical record conducted with Director of Nursing (DON B) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON C), the following was revealed: -In reference to R55's labs of 5/14/2021, ADON C stated, This is close to her being dehydrated. I know for a fact that she had diminished intake. ADON C added, (R55) was on [MEDICATION(S)] (at the time) which causes runny stools which is a risk factor for dehydration. A review of the nurse progress note of 5/18/2021, documented the physician was notified of R55's lab results and no new orders were put in place. ADON C stated, I would encourage fluids because I noticed she was declining. The nurses and CNAs (Certified Nurse Aides) were told to offer (R55) water. You had to hand (R55) water and assist her. ADON C said no formal order to encourage fluids was included as part of the daily CNA plan of care for R55. ADON C stated, The doctor could have written an order to encourage fluids and then it would be carried over to the Kardex (CNA plan of care). I think (R55) took in less than we thought. IV fluids would have been beneficial. -In referenced to R55's labs of 9/29/2021, ADON C stated, (R55) needed her (feeding) tube back because then we can ensure she gets what she needs. Her oral intake was declining. -DON B said R55 was not on a fluid restriction prior to her hospitalization . A review of the following progress note documented a reference to R55's fluid intake but not the sufficiency of the volume of fluids consumed. The referenced comprehensive nutrition assessments were focused primarily on R55's weight status, calorie needs, and protein needs: 1. Per DON B, the life enrichment note of 7/13/2021 documented .(R55) also likes to drink juices and eat snacks. According to ADON C, the life enrichment note did not indicate the amount of fluid R55 consumed. 2.

Interviews and review of R55's clinical record were conducted with Registered Dietitian (RD) F on 11/3/2021 at 4:43 PM and 11/4/2021 at 10:31 AM. On 11/3/2021, RD F said she did not have concerns regarding R55's hydration status because she was taking the liquid supplements. On 11/4/2021, RD F stated, (R55) was provided adequate fluids at each meal and through supplements to meet her nutritional and fluid needs. (R55's) fluid needs at the time were 1500 ml/day. RD F stated, Her fluids were coming from the juice and supplements. Per review with RD F, Nutritional Juice eight ounces once daily, Magic Cup six ounces once daily, and whole milk eight ounces once daily provided 22 ounces or 660 ml fluid daily. The facility document titled, Hydration and Electrolyte Management Program, dated 7/15/2015 was reviewed and revealed in part the following: -Sufficient fluid means the amount of fluid needed to prevent dehydration that results from output far exceeding intake. The amount of fluid needed for each resident fluctuates as the resident's condition fluctuates (e.g., fever, diarrhea, draining wounds). -Risk factors for dehydration: repeated refusal of fluid or change in food intake; weight loss; blood chemistries; draining wounds or pressure wounds. -Residents identified at risk for dehydration will receive extra fluids as clinically indicated. This information is to be placed on MAR (Medication Administration Record) This is to be evaluated with the physician and is resident specific. On 11/4/2021 at 4:55 PM during the exit conference, Nursing Home Administrator A and DON B were asked if there was any additional documentation or information that the facility would like to provide prior to the end of the survey, and they reported there was not.

BASED ON OBSERVATION, INTERVIEW AND RECORD REVIEW, THE FACILITY FAILED TO ADMINISTER PAIN MEDICATIONS TO ONE (#410) OF SIX SAMPLED RESIDENTS REVIEWED FOR PAIN FROM A TOTAL OF 15 SAMPLED RESIDENTS, RESULTING IN COMPLAINTS OF "VERY SEVERE" PAIN. FINDINGS INCLUDE: ON 2/29/12 AT 11:40 A.M., RESIDENT #410 WAS OBSERVED IN BED, POSITIONED ON HER LEFT SIDE. THE RESIDENT WAS OBSERVED TO GRIMACE UPON MOVEMENT. WHEN QUERIED, THE RESIDENT STATED, "I'M NOT GOOD." TEARS WERE OBSERVED RUNNING DOWN BOTH OF HER CHEEKS AND SHE STATED, "I'M IN F---ING PAIN AND ALL THEY GIVE ME IS F---ING [MEDICATION NAME]!" ([MEDICATION NAME] AND [MEDICATION NAME] USED TO RELIEVE MODERATE TO SEVERE PAIN). AT 12:00 P.M., RESIDENT #410'S CLINICAL RECORD WAS REVIEWED AND REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: PER THE FACE SHEET, RESIDENT #410 WAS ORIGINALLY admitted to the facility on [DATE] AND REadmitted on [DATE] WITH [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. THE ADMISSION Minimum Data Set, dated dated [DATE], INDICATED RESIDENT #410 WAS ABLE TO MAKE HER NEEDS KNOWN AND WAS CODED AS BEING COGNITIVELY INTACT. THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT (UNDATED) DOCUMENTED THAT RESIDENT #410 WAS IDENTIFIED AS BEING BEDBOUND AND REQUIRED TWO PERSON PHYSICAL ASSISTANCE WITH BED MOBILITY. THE FACILITY "PAIN ASSESSMENT," DATED 2/16/12 AND 2/17/12, INDICATED THAT RESIDENT #410 FREQUENTLY USED AND RECEIVED PRN (AS NEEDED). BASED ON THE PAIN INTENSITY SCALE (AN ASSESSMENT TOOL USED TO DESCRIBE PAIN--PAIN IS RATED ON A SCALE OF 0 TO 10. A "0" EQUALS NO PAIN, 2 = MILD PAIN, 4 = MODERATE PAIN, 6= SEVERE PAIN, 8 = VERY SEVERE PAIN AND 10 = WORST PAIN POSSIBLE). THE PAIN INTENSITY SCALE ASSESSMENT INDICATED THE RESIDENT WAS ABLE TO VERBALIZE WHEN SHE WAS EXPERIENCING PAIN. THE FORM ALSO DOCUMENTED THAT THE RESIDENT WAS OBSERVED COMPLAINING, MAKING FACIAL GRIMACES AND EXPRESSING ANGER IN RESPONSE TO PAIN. THE ASSESSMENT TOOL ALSO DOCUMENTED THAT THE RESIDENT EXPERIENCED PAIN "ALL THE TIME", ROUTINE MEDICATION AND PRN (AS NEEDED) MEDICATION WERE TO BE ADMINISTERED AND THAT A "PAIN PRESCRIPTION WAS TO BE OBTAINED." THE ADMISSION CARE PLAN, DATED 2/16/12 DIRECTED STAFF TO "ADMINISTER PAIN MEDICATIONS AND MONITOR FOR SIDE EFFECTS AS WELL AS MONITOR PAIN RESPONSE PER SCALE-- BEFORE AND AFTER MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION." THE PHYSICIAN ORDERED THE FOLLOWING MEDICATIONS FOR PAIN: 1. [MEDICATION NAME] 10/325 MG (MILLIGRAMS) ONE TABLET BY MOUTH EVERY FOUR HOURS AS NEEDED. 2. [MEDICATION NAME] SULFATE 15 MG ONE TABLET BY MOUTH EVERY 12 HOURS. 3. [MEDICATION NAME] PATCH 12.5 MCG (MICROGRAMS) EVERY THREE DAYS, TO BE APPLIED AT 6 AM. THE PRN [MEDICATION NAME] RECORD/PAIN FLOW SHEET" REVEALED RESIDENT #410 REQUESTED ADDITIONAL MEDICATION BECAUSE SHE HER PAIN WAS NOT CONTROLLED. THE FLOW SHEET REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: ON 2/17/12 AT 9:00 P.M. AND AT 12 P.M., RESIDENT RATED PAIN AT AN "8" (VERY SEVERE PAIN).

THE REASON WAS DOCUMENTED ON THE BACK OF THE MAR: "[MEDICATION NAME] UNAVAILABLE." NURSE 'A' WAS QUERIED ABOUT THE BLANK AREAS ON THE MAR FOR THE DATES OF APPLICATION (2/23/12 AND 2/26/12) AND STATED, "THE RESIDENT DIDN'T GET THEM THOSE DAYS." FOR THE DATE 2/29/12, THERE WERE "CIRCLED" INITIALS DOCUMENTED ON THE MAR. NURSE 'A' STATED, "THE CIRCLE MEANS THAT THE PATCH ([MEDICATION NAME]) WAS NOT APPLIED. MAYBE IT WASN'T AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE DOCTOR HAS TO COMPLETE A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE FORM." NURSE 'A' SAID "PAIN IS WHAT THEY (RESIDENTS) SAY IT IS" AND THAT RESIDENT #410 NEEDS HER MEDICATION BECAUSE, " SHE'S IN CONTINUOUS PAIN. " AT 1:00 P.M., NURSE 'B' WAS QUERIED REGARDING RESIDENT #410'S [MEDICATION NAME] PATCH AND REPORTED PATCHES WERE ADMINISTERED BY THE NURSE ON THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT.

I NEED SOMETHING FOR MY HEADACHE, BACKACHE,...I HAVE A MIGRAINE!" WHEN ASKED IF THE MEDICATIONS HELPED TO MANAGE THE PAIN, THE RESIDENT BECAME TEARFUL AND SAID, "THEY GIVE ME ONE ([MEDICATION NAME] SULFATE) IN THE MORNING AND ONE AT NIGHT AND I HURT THROUGH THE WHOLE DAY!" RESIDENT #410 CRIED. AT 1:30 P.M., THE CLINICAL RECORD WAS THEN REVIEWED WITH NURSE 'B'. THE PHYSICIAN'S NOTES, NURSES NOTES, "INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT'S CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE RECORDS," AND PHARMACY REVIEW SHEETS WERE EXAMINED. THERE WAS NO DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE THAT STAFF ATTEMPTED TO ACQUIRE THE [MEDICATION NAME] PATCH THAT WAS ORDERED BY THE PHYSICIAN ON 2/16/12. FURTHER REVIEW REVEALED THAT THE PHYSICIAN COMPLETED THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE FORM. NURSE 'B' STATED, 'THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE FORM WAS COMPLETED BY THE PHYSICIAN BUT IT PROBABLY WAS NOT SENT TO THE PHARMACY. WHEN ASKED HOW SHE KNEW IT WAS NOT SENT TO THE PHARMACY, NURSE 'B' STATED, "THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION LETTER." AT 2:00 P.M., THE DIRECTOR OF NURSING (DON) WAS QUERIED AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY RESIDENT #410 DID NOT RECEIVE THE [MEDICATION NAME] PATCH TO ADDRESS HER "SEVERE TO VERY SEVERE" PAIN. THE FACILITY POLICY ENTITLED, "PAIN MANAGEMENT", DATED 10/8/10 DOCUMENTED, "INITIATE IMMEDIATE INTERVENTIONS TO PROMOTE COMFORT." PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS INCLUDED, "ADMINISTRATION OF ROUTINE MEDICATIONS." POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT WAS REQUESTED; HOWEVER, NOT PROVIDED. PER THE "NURSING 2001 DRUG BOOK", SPRINGHOUSE 21ST EDITION, THE [MEDICATION NAME] SYSTEM ([MEDICATION NAME] SKIN PATCH) WAS DESIGNED TO SLOWLY RELEASE 12.5 MICROGRAMS OF [MEDICATION NAME] (OPIATE) EACH HOUR FOR 72 HOURS TO CONTROL PAIN AND PREVENT SEVERE, PROLONGED INTENSITY OF PAIN. PER THE NURSING CONSIDERATIONS, " MOST PATIENTS EXPERIENCE GOOD CONTROL OF PAIN FOR THREE DAYS (72 HOURS) WHILE WEARING THE [MEDICATION NAME] SYSTEM." ( )
