Per chart notes resident complained of pain approximately 5 hours later and was given medication. The next chart note was written two days later and indicates that R2 complained of pain and was given medication. Per interview with Administrator, resident's complaints of pain were not consistent and did not reach a level where staff believed that resident should be sent to the hospital.
