If it Guides Surveyors, Should You Follow?
F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations
Expectations Screening to determine if residents
experience pain
Comprehensively assessing the pain
Identifying when pain can be anticipated
Developing and implementing a plan, using pharmacologic and non-pharm interventions to manage pain and/or try to prevent the pain consistent with the resident’s goals
![Page 3: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
F 309: Assessment Expectations
Screening Screen for pain at admission,
periodically, when change in condition, anytime pain is suspected
Recognizing pain involves multiple health care professionals, direct care staff, therapists, ancillary staff who have contact with the patient
Observation at rest and activity
Verbal and nonverbal information about pain
![Page 4: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Nursing Assistants
Often first to notice resident symptoms
Must be trained to recognize most common signs and descriptors of pain
Must be taught to report findings to the nurse for follow-up
Nurse must perform a detailed evaluation, document relevant information and report it to the practitioner (Fax It)
![Page 7: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Facility may adopt one or more standard pain scales
Different scales emphasize different aspects of pain assessment Faces pain scales Numerical rating scales Pain map Brief Pain Inventory PAINAD for non-verbal residents
![Page 10: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

F 309: Management
To the extent possible, resident should participate in developing plan of care and establishing realistic goals for treatment
Facility is expected to address pain if resident says he/she is in pain
Approach to pain management should follow appropriate clinical protocols and guidelines
![Page 13: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Interventions/Treatments should be: Preceded by an assessment Developed with respect for whether the
pain is episodic or continuous Provided or administered to meet
resident’s needs Monitored appropriately for
effectiveness and/or adverse consequences
Modified as necessary
![Page 14: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Identifies specific strategies for different levels of pain, who is to implement the care or supply the service, and what symptoms, behaviors, or consequences might indicate need for additional/ alternative approaches
![Page 15: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
F 309: Non-pharmacologic Interventions or Complementary Therapies
Depending on the nature and intensity of pain, may be more appropriate to start with these approaches
If ineffective in relieving pain, proceed to pharmacologic interventions
If not used at all, resident record should include reasons why not pertinent
May include Complementary and Alternative (CAM)
![Page 16: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Balance potential risks and side effects with benefits, including resident’s wishes
Follow a rationale approach, such as the WHO ladder
![Page 17: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
F309: Pharmacologic Interventions
All pharmacologic interventions should be combined with non-pharmacologic interventions
Persistent pain should be treated around-the-clock rather than PRN
Analgesics should be accessible in the facility and administered when needed
![Page 18: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
F309: Monitoring
Monitor the effectiveness of the medication(s) being used before adding medications or changing the medication regimen
Dose, frequency, and medication need to be reevaluated if pain not adequately controlled
Periodic use of a facility selected standardized pain assessment tool facilitates determination of success
![Page 19: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
F309: Monitoring
If no further need for pain medication, discontinuation or tapering to prevent withdrawal
Adverse consequences may be anticipated and require ongoing monitoring
Preventive approaches may be indicated
![Page 20: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
F309: Monitoring
Staff involved in care should monitor individual closely over time to identify signs/symptoms that could indicate pain and adverse medication consequences
Consistent staff assignment shown to improve pain care
If pain not adequately controlled despite repeated attempts and various approaches, referral to other resources such as a hospice program, if eligible, or pain management specialists
![Page 21: F-Tag uses evidence-based practice recommendations Expectations Screening to determine if residents experience pain Comprehensively assessing.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/56649da15503460f94a8cd11/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
