Inspection Findings
During an interview on 11/13/2025 with the Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, during my rounding visits this morning, Resident 2 asked for pain medications, when I informed the medication nurse (LVN 2), LVN 2 stated, Resident 2 is asking for pain medication before the due time. I have informed LVN 2 to contact the physician. I have called the pain doctor to assess and adjust the pain medication orders. DON stated, it is the assigned licensed staff responsibility to notify the DON and physician when pain is not managed and change of conditions. It is not according to the standard of practice not to address pain and residents' requests.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Pain Management revised 12/16/2024, the P&P indicated, Residents receiving interventions for pain will be monitored for the effectiveness and side effects (e.g., constipation, sedation) in providing pain relief.
