complaints of pain after not receiving their ordered medications. She stated she was aware of a potential diversion of narcotic medications, and residents might not have received medications as ordered. However, NP2 stated given the same circumstances, she would make the same call.
During additional interview with the DON on 11/14/2025 at 10:43 AM, she stated it was important that residents received their scheduled pain medications on time because if doses were missed or given late, it was harder to bring the pain back under control. Then, she stated, the resident might require more medication to achieve relief. She stated she expected staff to document thoroughly and timely residents' reports of pain and staff observations of residents' pain so the facility could review, respond, and address concerns promptly rather than allowing residents to wait in pain.
During an interview with the Administrator on 11/14/2025 at 11:15 AM, she stated she expected staff to manage residents' pain in accordance with physician orders. She stated if a resident reported pain, medication should be provided. Additionally, she stated staff should request additional pain management from the physician as needed, and when medication could not be given, they should use non-pharmacological interventions such as heat, cold, or therapy. She stated it was important to follow physician orders and manage pain for the physical well-being of the resident.
