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
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper care was provided to prevent a right heel
pressure ulcer (an injury to the skin or underlying tissue that develop from prolonged pressure), for one of
three sampled residents (Resident 1).This failure had the potential to place Resident 1, a clinically
compromised resident, at risk for further skin breakdown, which could affect his health and
safety.Findings:During a review of Residents 1's admission Record (general demographics), the document
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included muscle wasting
and atrophy (a condition with shrinking and loss of muscle), major depressive disorder (a condition with
feeling of sadness and hopelessness), fracture of unspecified part of right clavicle ( broken right collarbone
where the specific location of the break has not been detailed), fracture of right ilium (a break in the upper
largest part of the hip bone), spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on spinal
cords and nerve), spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (affective all four limbs due to abnormal brain
development or damage before, during or after birth), cervicalgia ( neck pain), alcohol abuse ( impaired
ability to stop or control alcohol use ), and hypertension (high blood pressure, polyp of colon (growth on the
inner lining of the large intestine or rectum), dorsalgia (back pain).During an interview on September 25,
2025, at 12:00 PM, with the Wound Treatment Nurse (WTN), WTN stated Resident 1's admission
assessment, did not include a pressure sore, injury, or wound on the right heel. WTN further stated that on
June 22,2025 while WTN was doing wound care, Resident 1 started complaining of pain on right heel. WTN
assessed and noted a darkened area to the right heel, measuring 5.0 cm X 5.0 cm X UTD (unstageable),
100% necrosis (death of body tissue).During an interview on September 25, 2025, at 12:45 PM, with the
Physical Therapist (PT), PT stated, Resident 1 was evaluated during admission on [DATE], as totally
dependent with maximum assist. Both lower extremities are impaired, and he was unable to move without
assistance. PT stated, there should have been a care plan initiated for offloading both feet off the bed to
prevent pressure sore on admission.During an interview on September 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with the
Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated the pressure wound on right heel was identified and assessed on
June 22, 2025. Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation (SBAR), Change of Condition
(COC) were completed that day. Treatment was ordered by the primary physician (PP) and initiated by WTN
on the same day on June 22, 20225. DON was asked if there was a care plan initiated on admission to
prevent Resident 1's pressure injury by offloading both feet and a daily skin assessment. DON stated, No
and was not able to provide documentation. DON further stated they implemented daily skin assessment
once a shift for all residents, and care plan was initiated for Resident 1 on June 23, 2025, for offloading and
bilateral boots for heel protectors.A review of the following clinical records for Resident 1 indicated:a.
