There were several instances where he was heard moaning and shouting out in pain. He was seen grimacing in pain.

Record review revealed that he had orders for as needed pain management, but that had not been administered due to pain assessment documentation showing as a 0 out of 10 on three separate occasions on 2/25/25.
