Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse for one of one
resident (Resident 1).
This deficient practice violated Resident 1's right and had the potential for delay in abuse investigation.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the
resident on 3/14/24, with diagnoses that included myocardial infarction (heart attack), hemiplegia and
hemiparesis (total paralysis and weakness of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same side of the body).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, resident assessment tool) dated 9/16/24, the
MDS indicated Resident 1 was able to express ideas and wants and was able to understand verbal content.
The MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required
maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with bed mobility including rolling left and right,
sit to lying and lying to sitting.
During a review of Resident 1's Radiology Interpretation dated 11/2/24, the Radiology Interpretation
indicated a pathologic fracture to the left and right humerus (bone in the upper arm, located between the
elbow and the shoulder.)
During a review of Resident 1's Oncology Consultation dated 11/18/24, the Oncology Consultation notes
indicated pathologic fracture to both arms with plan to conduct a PET/CT (an imaging scan to determine
the extent of the disease.
During a review of Resident 1's care plan dated 10/30/24, the care plan indicated Resident 1 made
accusation that someone hurt Resident 1 and broke Resident 1's arm.
During a concurrent interview and observation on 11/19/24 at 10:31 am, Resident 1 stated a water bottle
fell on Resident 1's right arm when asked how Resident 1 broke the resident's arm. Resident 1 stated
Resident had very brittle bones. Resident 1 had both right arm and left arm wrapped with a soft wrap and
both arms were elevated on a pillow. Resident 1's right hand was swollen.
During an interview on 11/19/24 at 2:05 pm, Resident 1 stated Resident 1 could not recall reporting

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents
(Resident 1) did not develop pressure ulcers-injury [PU/PI, localized injury to the skin and or underlying
tissue usually over a bony prominence as result of pressure or pressure in combination with shear
[mechanical force that cause the skin to break off] and/or friction [movement of one surface of the skin
against the others]) as indicated in the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Pressure Injury
Prevention and Management, by failing to ensure:
Residents Affected - Few
1.A comprehensive care plan (CP) was developed to address the risk for PIs after Resident 1's readmission
to the facility on [DATE].
2.A pressure injury wound risk assessment was conducted for Resident 1 upon readmission on [DATE].
3. Resident 1's physician order that indicated the use of a low air loss (LAL, a mattress designed to
distribute body weight and prevent and treat pressure wounds) mattress for Resident 1 included a mattress
setting. Additionally, the LAL did not have the correct setting when the LAL was set on static (a firm
mattress surface that makes it easier for the resident to transfer or reposition and prevents from bottoming
out when in a sitting position) mode instead of alternating (used for pressure relief and circulation, a surface
that regularly redistributes the pressure under the body) mode.
These deficient practices resulted in the development of a stage 3 PI (full-thickness loss of skin in which
adipose/fat is visible in the ulcer/open sore) on Resident 3's sacrococcyx area (sacral [a triangular shaped
bone at the bottom of the spine] coccyx [tailbone]) and had the potential to lead to further skin breakdown
and delayed wound healing to Resident 1.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility originally admitted
Resident 1 on 3/14/24, with diagnoses that included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (muscle weakness or
partial paralysis on one side of the body that can affect the arms, legs, and facial muscles) myocardial
infarction (heart attack).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
dated 9/16/24, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderate cognitive (ability to understand and process
information) impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required maximal assistance (helper does more
than half the effort) with bed mobility including rolling left and right, sit to lying, and lying to sitting.
During a review of Resident 1's Radiology Interpretation (RI), date of exam 11/2/24, the RI indicated a
pathologic fracture (a break in a bone caused by an underlying disease) to the left and right humerus (long
bone that runs from the shoulder and shoulder blade to the elbow).
During a review of Resident 1's Resident Transfer Record, the record indicated Resident 1 was transferred
to General Acute Hospital 1 (GACH 1) on 11/2/24.
1.During a review of Resident 1's CPs. There were CPs in Resident 1's medical record for risk for
developing PIs and alteration in skin integrity, dated 3/15/24, revised 6/17/24 and on 9/18/24. The

CPs were not revised upon Resident 1's readmission on [DATE] and there were no active CPs that
addressed Resident 1's redness on the sacrococcyx area or addressed Resident 1 being at risk for
developing PIs.
During a review of Resident 1's Nurse's Admitting Record, dated 11/3/24, the record indicated redness on
the sacrococcyx area.
During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR), active physician orders as of 11/19/24, the
OSR included an order, dated 11/3/24, the order indicated to Lift for care, minimal turning due to further
fractures every shift.
During a review of Resident 1's OSR, active physician orders as of 11/19/24, the OSR included an order,
dated 11/13/24, that indicated treatment for Resident 1's sacrococcyx area for a stage 3 PI, the order
indicated to cleanse with normal saline (solution, mixture of water and salt and used to cleanse wounds),
pat dry, and apply santyl ointment (medicine used to remove dead tissue form wounds so they can start
healing), then cover with dry dressing every day and as needed for 21 days.
During a review of Resident 1's OSR, active physician orders as of 11/19/24, the OSR included an order,
dated 11/14/24, the order indicated Resident 1 may have LAL mattress to aid [with] wound maintenance.
The order did not indicate a setting for the LAL mattress.
During a review of Resident 1's Preliminary Wound Report dated 11/14/24, the report indicated a wound
located on the sacrococcyx that measured 4.8 centimeter (cm, unit of measurement) in length, 4.9 cm in
width, and 0.1 cm in diameter. The wound report indicated 20% slough (a layer of dead tissue) and 80%
granulation tissue (reddish connective tissue that forms on the surface of a wound when the wound is
healing).
During an interview on 11/19/24 at 3:01 pm, with the Treatment Nurse (TN), the TN stated the MDS Nurse
was responsible for developing a plan of care for a resident's (in general) risk for developing PIs. The TN
stated the TN developed plans of care for resident's that had actual skin integrity issue [like PIs]. The TN
stated when Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with sacrococcyx redness. The TN stated
the TN did not develop a CP that addressed the redness on Resident 1's sacrococcyx and the TN needed
to develop a plan of care to prevent the progression of the redness.
During an interview on 11/19/24 at 4:59 pm, with Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) stated when residents (in
general) were readmitted from a hospitalization, RN 1 stated the licensed nurse needed to perform a
head-to-toe assessment. RN 1 stated if the resident had a significant change upon readmission, the
licensed nurse needed to develop or revise the CP. RN 1 stated we [the facility] needed to do an
interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a team of health care professions who work together to establish plans of care
for residents) CP meeting and involve other departments such as rehabilitation, dietary, and nursing. RN 1
stated the rehabilitation department needed to be involved since there was an order that indicated minimal
turning for Resident 1.
During an interview on 11/20/24 at 10:40 am, with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated
[when Resident 1 was readmitted on [DATE]] there was no CNA who asked the DSD how to reposition
Resident 1. The DSD stated we really did not want to turn Resident 1 too much, we would just prop up the
buttocks area instead of turning to Resident 1 to the sides.
2.During a concurrent interview and review of Resident 1's medical record on 11/20/24 at 12:27 pm,

with the TN, there was no readmission wound risk assessment completed for Resident 1 in Resident 1's
medical record. The TN stated there was no readmission skin risk assessment done and the skin risk
assessment could trigger if there was a need to develop a specific plan of care for Resident 1. The TN
stated, if a skin risk assessment was completed for Resident 1 and if the risk assessment placed Resident
1 at risk for the development of PIs, the TN could have suggested to put Resident 1 on an alternating
pressure pad (APP mattress pad, system that utilizes air-filled cells within a mattress, the pump regulates
the inflation and deflations of the cells to alternate pressure between different areas of the body). The TN
stated, the TN examined Resident 1 on 11/12/24, it was difficult to put Resident 1 in a position to examine
the skin on Resident 1's buttock area well. The TN stated at that time they were still figuring out a plan on
how to turn Resident 1. The TN stated, the TN discussed with the acting Director of Nursing (DON) how
difficult it was to get Resident 1 in a position to clearly assess Resident 1's buttock area. The TN stated
when staff turned Resident 1, Resident 1 pushed back, Resident 1 was hesitant to allow [staff] to move
Resident 1 because Resident 1 did not want to be in pain. The TN stated the physician's order that
indicated minimal turning meant not to turn Resident 1 too many times, but [staff] did not how many times
to turn Resident 1. The TN stated the TN did not clarify the order that indicated minimal turning for Resident
1 with Resident 1's physician and the order needed to be clarified. The TN stated staff needed clear
interventions involving Resident 1's care that involved Resident 1, Resident 1's family, and the rest of the
care team.
During an interview on 11/20/24 at 1:27 pm, RN 2 stated Resident 1's bilateral (both) arm fractures
impaired Resident 1's mobility (movement) because pain led to Resident 1 refusing repositioning and
Resident 1 not wanting to be touched. RN 2 stated a pressure ulcer risk assessment when completed,
identified Resident 1 as high risk for the development of a PI. RN 2 stated when risk assessments were
completed, the care team proceeded and conducted an IDT meeting to plan evidence-based interventions
for the prevention of PIs such as using a sliding sheet or using an APP mattress.
During an interview on 11/20/24 at 3:46 pm, with Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2), CNA 2 stated on
the day of 11/3/2024 (Resident 1's readmission), the licensed nurse (unidentified) had informed CNA 2
Resident 1 had limited movement because of Resident 1's bilateral arm fractures. CNA 2 stated Resident 1
was in so much pain that to check if Resident 1's adult brief, CNA 2 inserted CNA 2's hand, pressed the
mattress downward [to help change the adult brief] and Resident 1's mattress got deep. The next day on
11/4/24, CNA 2 stated the previous shift had informed CNA 2 Resident 1 refused to turn. CNA 2 stated
CNAs (in general) limited moving Resident 1 because that was the direction CNAs received from the
licensed nurses.
3. During a concurrent observation and interview on 11/19/24 at 2:10 pm, with the TN. Resident 1's LAL
mattress was set at static. The TN stated the LAL mattress was set at static and the company who
delivered the mattress was responsible for setting up the mode on the LAL mattress to static.
During an interview on 11/19/24 at 5:06 pm, RN 1 stated the LAL mattress needed to be set at alternating
mode and not static mode because alternating pressure provided pressure relief to a resident [who was at
risk for developing PIs] on a LAL mattress.
During an interview on 11/20/24 at 10:40 am, with the DSD, the DSD stated when the LAL mattress was
set at static mode, this made the mattress firm for staff to do patient care. The DSD stated when the LAL
mattress was on alternating mode, there was air movement on the mattress. The DSD stated the DSD did
not know what the setting needed to be for Resident 1 and for prevention of PIs, the DSD did not know if
the LAL setting for Resident 1 needed to be in alternating or static mode.

During a review of the facility's P&P, titled Pressure Injury Prevention and Management date reviewed
9/26/2022, the P&P indicated the facility shall establish and utilize a systematic approach for pressure
injury prevention and management, including prompt assessment and treatment, intervening to stabilize,
reduce or remove underlying risk factors; monitoring the impact of the interventions; and modifying the
interventions as appropriate. The P&P indicated licensed nurse will conduct a pressure injury risk
assessment on all residents upon admission/readmission, weekly X 4 weeks, then quarterly or whenever
the resident's condition changes significantly. The P&P indicated interventions on a resident's plan of care
will be modified as needed. Considerations for needed modifications included: changes in resident's degree
of risk for developing a pressure injury, new onset or recurrent pressure injury development, resident
non-compliance and changes in the resident's goals and preferences, such as at end-of life or in
accordance with his/her rights.
During a review of the undated LAL Manufacturer's manual, the manual indicated to turn the switch to
alternating to turn on the alternating pressure function. Turn the switch to static to turn on the static mode.
The manual indicated, in static mode, the mattress provides a firm surface that makes it easier for the
patient to transfer or reposition and prevents the patient from bottoming out when in a sitting position. The
manual indicated the mattress was designed for bed sore (PIs) and wound care therapy treatment and
prevention, which may occur during an extended hospital stay and nursing home/long term care
environment.
