a sense of urgency and will say I will get there when I get there.

CNA E said that she tells the nurses right away about Resident R6's Level of Harm - Minimal harm or pain, and that sometimes they are pretty quick about responding, and other times Resident R6 will have to put on her potential for actual harm call light and ask a second time for pain medication.
Residents Affected - Few On 3/20/25 at 1:51 PM, Surveyor interviewed Resident R6, who stated she was in lots of pain all over and that she was receiving morphine and diclofenac for the pain. Resident R6 explained that she has a compressed nerve in her neck and had experienced back issues most of her life. Resident R6 stated that she had a fall in her apartment before coming to the facility in which an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) damaged muscles in her groin when lifting her off the floor. Resident R6 indicated that she used to be able to walk and now cannot. Resident R6 stated, it gets depressing being in this much pain and having to just put up with it. Surveyor asked Resident R6 what her pain rating was at that moment. Resident R6 stated her pain was a 9 but that it never goes below an 8. Surveyor asked if Resident R6 had spoken with management about her pain not being well managed. Resident R6 stated she had talked to NHA A (Nursing Home Administrator) and DON B (Director of Nursing) many times. Resident R6 indicated that she cries every day because of the pain and that the medication she receives barely takes the edge off her pain.
It is important to note that Resident R6 stated she was receiving diclofenac as part of her pain regimen and was not aware that she was not actually receiving this medication.
On 3/20/25 at 2:04 PM, Surveyor notified RN K (Registered Nurse) about Resident R6 having a pain rating of 9. RN K indicated she would see what Resident R6 could get for pain, but she had already gotten a PRN morphine earlier.
On 3/20/25 at 2:40 PM, Surveyor interviewed LPN D (Licensed Practical Nurse) who stated that although Resident R6's pain varies, there are times that she is in a significant amount of pain and is tearful. Surveyor asked LPN D what she would do if a resident was in a significant amount of pain. LPN D indicated that she would assess the resident and then review the MAR to see what kind of PRN medications the resident had ordered.
On 3/20/25 at 4:18 PM, Surveyor interviewed Resident R6 who stated that both NHA A and DON B were aware that
she was in a lot of pain. Surveyor asked if staff ever offered her any non-pharmacological interventions, such as music therapy, hot or cold packs, or massage. Resident R6 stated that no one had ever offered her any non-pharmacological interventions for treatment of her pain. Resident R6 stated that most nights she can't sleep due to the pain, and just lays awake and cries.
On 3/20/25 at 4:21 PM, Surveyor interviewed MT G (Medication Technician). Surveyor asked MT G what the process would be if a resident was missing a medication. MT G stated that she would put in an order for the pharmacy and then call the pharmacy to make sure it is coming in the next shipment. Surveyor asked MT G what the process would be if the medication did not come when it was supposed to. MT G stated that she would call the pharmacy again and try to get the meds stat (immediately) but that the facility pharmacy is in Chicago, so it sometimes takes awhile to get the needed medications.
