Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the necessary care and services were provided to prevent the development or worsening of pressure injuries (damage to the skin and underlying tissue from prolonged pressure, often over bony areas) for one of two final sampled residents (Resident 69) reviewed for pressure injuries. * The facility failed to ensure Resident 69 had weekly assessments documented for a Stage 2 pressure injury (partial-thickness skin loss where the epidermis and part of the dermis are damaged) to the coccyx. This had the potential for Resident 69's Stage 2 pressure injury to worsen and not provided appropriate care.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Pressure Injuries Overview revised February 2024 showed a Stage 2 pressure injury is partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis. The wound bed is viable, pink or red, moist, and may also present as an intact or ruptured serum-intact blister. Adipose (fat) is not visible and deeper tissues are not visible. Granulation tissue, slough and eschar are not present. Commonly result from adverse microclimate and shear in the skin over the pelvis and shear in the heel. This stage should not be used to describe moisture-associated skin damage including continence-associated dermatitis, intertriginous dermatitis, medical adhesive-related skin injury, or traumatic wounds (skin tears, burns, abrasions). Review of the facility's P&P titled Charting and Documentation revised July 2017 showed all services provided to the resident, progress toward the care plan goals, or any changes in the resident's medical, physical, functional or psychosocial condition, shall be documented in the resident's medical record. Documentation in the medical record will be objective (not opinionated or speculative), complete, and accurate. Documentation of procedures and treatments will include care-specific details, including: the date and time the procedure/treatment was provided; the name and title of the individual(s) who provided the care; the assessment data and/or any unusual findings obtained during the procedure/treatment; how the resident tolerated the procedure/treatment; whether the resident refused the procedure/treatment; notification of family, physician or other staff, if indicated; and the signature and title of the individual documenting. Review of the facility's P&P titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown - Clinical Protocol revised April 2018 showed the nurse shall describe and document/report the following: full assessment of pressure sore including location, stage, length, width and depth, presence of exudates or necrotic tissue; pain assessment; resident's mobility status' current treatments, including support surfaces, and all active diagnoses. Medical record review for Resident 69 was initiated on 12/16/25. Resident 69 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 69's Admission/readmission Data Tool dated 11/12/25 at 1651 hours, showed the resident had a sacrococcyx Stage 2 pressure injury, measuring 4.0 cm by 2.0 cm by x 0.1cm. The description showed the pressure injury was a shallow open wound with red wound bed, no drainage and no signs and symptoms of infection. Review of Resident 69's progress note dated 12/14/25, showed the MD was notified regarding the evaluation on the sacrococcyx Stage 2 pressure injury's improvement with no signs and symptoms of infection. The progress note showed Resident 69 had denied pain or discomfort during wound treatment and a new order from the physician was obtained to continue the current treatment to the sacrococcyx Stage 2 pressure injury as follows: to cleanse with normal saline, pat dry, apply zinc oxide cream (over the counter skin protectant) and cover with foam dressing daily for 30 days. However, further review of Resident 69's progress note dated 12/14/25, failed to show documented assessment of the pressure injury, including the measurements for length, width and depth, presence of exudates or necrotic tissue as per the facility's P&P.
