SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
During an interview on 11/21/25 at 12:45 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON) who was asked about pain assessments for R7 and why nursing was not completing the pain assessments over the last month when staff verbalized that R7's pain was present during wound dressing changes and increased extensively over the last week.
The DON stated, Pain assessments should be completed each shift.
There should be an order in place for nursing to complete a pain assessment. I am not sure why there is not an order to do so. If he (R7) was having pain, then nursing should have at least been giving acetaminophen from the standing orders and if that did not help then the provider should have been contacted related to pain during dressing changes.
The DON agreed that a premedication prior to dressing changes would be beneficial for R7.Review of policy titled, Pain Assessment and Management, date revised March 2015, read in part, Purpose: Support consistent pain assessment and documentation and promote safe treatment and follow up.
