Mistreatment, abuse, and neglect in nursing facilities are often the result of the nursing staff or other caregivers not providing the resident care according to established standards of quality.

The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to administer pain medication according to Physician’s orders.” The investigation involved a resident who “had pain related to joint replacement surgery.”
The state investigators interviewed a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who stated, “if a resident was in pain, she would estimate the rate of pain on a scale of 1-10. The LPN stated she would administer pain medications based on ordered parameters.”
The Director of Nursing stated that “before pain medication is administered, the nurse should assess the patient, check the order, and administer the pain medication according to the order pain scale. The Director stated that her expectation is that staff administers pain medication according to Physician’s orders.”
The facility “failed to provide care and services for one resident with a left ankle wound and failed to consistently assess and monitor multiple bruised areas for [another resident].”
In one case, a resident had “an open area on the left ankle.” The Skin Assessment on the left ankle indicated it was an open area. However, review of the clinical record revealed “no documented evidence that the left ankle open area had been assessed, the type of wound was identified, that the Physician had been notified, or that a treatment order had been obtained and provided.”
The state investigators interviewed a Registered Nurse (RN) “who following a review of the clinical record stated that no additional documentation was able to be located regarding the left ankle open area. She stated the licensed nurse should have documented descriptions of the open area, notified the Physician, and obtained and documented a treatment order if prescribed.”
The facility Wound Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) present during the interview stated that “Per the previous Director of Nursing, the facility had seventy-two hours after admission to provide a complete Wound Assessment.” The LPN stated that “the resident had been admitted on a Friday, and therefore, she would not have assessed the resident until Monday. However, the resident was discharged on Monday.”
