Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain a complete medical record for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1) when:
1. The facility treated a wound to Resident 1's coccyx (tailbone) that was present upon admission, but did
not document that they obtained a physician's order for wound treatment until eight days after admission;
2. The facility did not document treatments of Resident 1's coccyx wound until eight days after admission;
and,
3. There was one week during which the facility did not document the assessment of Resident 1's coccyx
wound.
These failures had the potential to compromise the facility's ability to ensure Resident 1's wound was
treated and monitored.
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's medical record indicated she was admitted on [DATE] and had diagnoses including
overactive bladder (a condition that causes the sudden urge to urinate) and enterocolitis due to clostridium
difficile (inflammation of the intestines that causes watery stools).
Review of Resident 1's nursing admission assessment, dated 10/3/24, indicated Resident 1 had non
blanchable redness (redness that does not turn white when pressed) with open skin on the coccyx.
During an interview with Resident 1's family member (FM) on 1/24/25 at 3:10 p.m., the FM confirmed
Resident 1's coccyx wound was present upon admission. The FM explained that once the facility saw the
wound was present, they implemented routine wound treatments.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the wound treatment nurse (WTN) on 1/27/25 at
9:55 a.m., the WTN explained that if a resident has a wound upon admission, the admitting nurse should
obtain a physician's order for wound treatment, and the wound treatments should be documented on the
treatment administration record (TAR). The WTN further explained that for residents with wounds, there
should be wound assessments documented in the medical record weekly. The WTN reviewed Resident 1's
medical record and confirmed the resident had a coccyx wound upon admission. The WTN confirmed there
was no documentation that the facility obtained a wound treatment order, and no

documentation that wound treatments were performed until 10/11/25. The WTN also confirmed there was
no documentation of weekly wound assessments in Resident 1's electronic health record, but stated he
would check with the assistant director of nursing (ADON) to see if she had the assessments.
During an interview and concurrent record review with the ADON on 1/27/25 at 2:12 p.m., the ADON
presented weekly wound assessments for Resident 1's coccyx wound. The wound assessments indicated
Resident 1's wound was classified as moisture-associated skin damage (caused by prolonged exposure to
various sources of moisture, including urine or stool). There was no weekly wound assessment for the week
after Resident 1's admission to the facility. The ADON confirmed there were no weekly wound assessments
for Resident 1 until 10/17/24 (two weeks after the resident was admitted to the facility).
The facility's policy titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown – Clinical Protocol, dated 2001, indicated
the physician will authorize pertinent orders related to wound treatments.
The facility's policy titled Charting and Documentation, revised 12/2019, indicated the services provided to
the resident should be documented in the resident's medical record. The policy further indicated
documentation of procedures and treatments includes details such as the date and time the
procedure/treatment was provided, the name and title of the individual who provided the care, assessment
data, and physician notification.
