**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional standards of practice, to prevent pressure ulcers (localized, pressure-related damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence) for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) when:
Residents Affected - Few
1) Daily skin checks were not documented, 2) Bowel and bladder care were not provided at regular intervals. These failures resulted in Resident 1 developing Stage 2 pressure ulcers (partial-thickness loss of skin, presenting as a shallow open sore or wound) on Resident 1's left and right buttocks.
Findings: During a review of Resident 1's face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident), the face sheet indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility December 2024 with multiple diagnoses which included Diabetes Mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing). During a review of Resident 1's admission Comprehensive Skin Assessment/Evaluation, dated 12/5/24, the Comprehensive Skin Assessment/Evaluation, indicated, .buttocks .clear of any skin breakdown .additional care .incontinence (loss of bowel and bladder control) management . During a review of Resident 1's care plan, initiated 12/5/24, the care plan indicated, .Resident at risk for skin breakdown .check skin daily .notify physician of abnormal findings .keep skin clean and dry to the extent possible . During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 12/11/24, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers and did not have any pressure ulcers. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 1/15/25 at 10:09 a.m., the DON stated Resident 1 obtained two facility acquired Stage 2 pressure ulcers while residing in the facility. The DON further stated the pressure ulcers were preventable. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/15/25 at 10:38 a.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), Resident 1's Bowel Continence and Bladder Continence logs dated 12/17/24 through 12/25/24 were reviewed.
