The IDT indicated, Resident 12 was at risk for further skin breakdown due to anticoagulant (blood thinner) therapy, poor fluid/dietary intake, aging process, fragile skin, impaired balance, impaired mobility, poor safety awareness, impaired vision, and ambulating without assistance. During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/13/2024 at 1:46 PM., with Resident 12 in Resident 12's room, Resident 12 was ambulating (walking) slowly independently. Resident 12's legs were open to air, appearing light purple in color, had edema (more edema on the left side) on both legs, and had minimal weeping. Resident 12 had a bandage on the left inner ankle and stated, the facility was not doing anything about Resident 12's legs and Resident 12 was disappointed, concerned, and felt the staff had neglected the edema on her legs. Resident 12 asked, What are they doing? Why is it not healing? Resident 12 stated, the swelling was small when Resident 12 was admitted to the facility but got worse and was not better. Resident 12 stated, it's been a month and thought Resident 12 should see a dermatologist (a medical doctor who specializes in treating the skin, hair, and nails).

Resident 12's legs were swollen, open to air, with the left side worse than the right side. Resident 12 stated, nobody had checked on Resident 12's swollen legs and the evening [shift] staff would look at it they always pass it on. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/15/2024 at 9:58 AM., with the Quality Assurance Nurse (QAN), Resident 12's Physician Orders (PO), were reviewed. The PO indicated, Geri (skin) sleeves [were] to be applied to the legs daily and removed at bedtime every day and during the evening shift for Skin Maintenance ordered on 5/3/2024. The QAN stated, Resident 12 did not have a geri sleeve on and this was important to protect Resident 12's skin. During an observation on 5/15/2024 at 10:26 AM., with the QAN, Resident 12's legs were observed. Resident 12 had no geri sleeves on. Resident 12's legs were swollen, the left leg had a dry kerlix (dressing used to cover wounds) dressing wrapped around the left ankle, and the dressing was constricting the area. The QAN removed the kerlix dressing and Resident 12's left leg had a dark purplish, blackish discolored section with a skin tear/wound and scanty weeping.

RN 1 stated, RN 1 was aware of Resident 12's edema and skin tear on Resident 12's left ankle. RN 1 stated, the order for a geri sleeve was not carried out. RN 1 stated, it was important to carry out the PO because the geri sleeve was an extra layer [added] to protect Resident 12's skin. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/15/2024 at 11:51 AM., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Resident 12's medical records (MR), were reviewed. The ADON stated, there was no skin assessment done on Resident 12 and a skin assessment should have been done for a skin tear that was either not responding well to the treatment or worsening. The ADON stated, Resident 12's skin tear should have been assessed due to not responding to the treatment, change in edema, and [the staff] should have reached out to the doctor [to obtain] further recommendations. The ADON stated, the geri sleeve could have minimized further skin [breakdown] and for protection. During a review of the facility's undated P&P titled, Skin-Open Wound, Skin Tears, Bruises, Abrasions, Edema and Minor Breaks, Care Of, the P&P indicated, the purpose of the P&P procedure was to guide the prevention and treatment of abrasions, skin tears, bruises, edema, swelling and minor breaks in the skin. The P&P indicated, to review the resident's care plan, current orders, and diagnoses to determine resident needs. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Quality of Care - Quality of Life, dated 2015, the P&P indicated, OBRA (Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987) emphasized the need for all health care providers to follow and uphold the Residents Rights which stresses Quality of Care for residents.
