This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on staff interview, record review and policy and procedure review, the facility failed to ensure 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident A) did not develop an avoidable pressure ulcer when: 1. A care plan was not developed to prevent skin breakdown. 2. Policies and procedures related to wound and skin management were not implemented. These failures lead to the development of a Stage II pressure ulcer on Resident A's left lateral (outer) ankle which progressed to a Stage 4 (Full thickness loss of skin with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon, joint capsule, etc.). Findings: Resident A was admitted to the facility on 3/4/15 and diagnosis included cardiovascular disease (refers to a group of conditions that affect the supply of blood to the brain, causing limited or no blood flow to the affected areas), hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of kidney function over time) and congestive heart failure (the heart is unable to pump to sufficiently to meet the body's needs).

The MDS described Resident A as having no signs or symptoms of delirium or behavioral symptoms. The MDS also described Resident A as needing extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on the unit, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene. The MDS further described Resident A as having impairment on one side of his upper and lower extremity. Review of the CAA (Care Area Assessment) Worksheet (part of the MDS), dated 3/17/15, indicated under section "2. Cognitive Loss/Dementia" that "Res (resident) requires max to total assist w/ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), non-ambulatory and requires staff assist for locomotion." It also indicated, "Res is at risk for pressure ulcer development d/t (due to) above risk factors and also d/t impaired mobility/balance, left hemiplegia (complete paralysis on one side of body), incontinence and meds (medications) (particularly antianxiety, antidepressants, and narcotics)." Review of the CAA Worksheet, dated 3/17/15, under section "16. Pressure Ulcer" indicated, "Proceed to care plan to minimize complications r/t (related to) risk factors."
