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 three sampled residents
(Resident 1), who had an existing pressure ulcer ([PU] localized damage to the skin and/or underlying
tissue usually over a bony prominence) was turned and repositioned at least every two hours. This deficient
practice resulted in Resident 2 being left in the same position on his left side for over four hours and had
the potential for new PUs to develop and a delay in healing for Resident 1's existing PU.Findings: During a
review of Resident 2's admission Record (Face Sheet) the Face Sheet indicated Resident 2 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes
mellitus ([DM] a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing) without
complications, unspecified (a condition where symptoms match a general category, but there is insufficient
information or documentation to classify it more specifically) severe protein-calorie malnutrition (inadequate
intake of protein and calories causing muscle weakness), and a stage 4 PU (a full-thickness skin and tissue
loss with exposed muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, or bone) in the sacral region (area above the
buttocks). During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated
6/27/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent (resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity) on staff to roll from left to right. During a review of Resident 2's Braden Scale for Predicting
Pressure Sore Risk assessment dated [DATE] and 12/25/2026, the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure
Sore Risk assessment indicated Resident 2 scored nine (a score of 12 or below represent a high risk of
developing PUs, placing Resident 2 at high risk for PUs. During a review of Resident 2's Weekly Pressure
Injury Record dated 1/27/2026, the Weekly Pressure Injury Record indicated Resident 2 had a PU to the
sacrococcyx measuring 5.7 centimeters ([cm] a unit of measurement) x 3.6 cm x 2.5 cm. During a review of
Resident 2's Care Plan dated 2/4/2026, the Care Plan indicated Resident 1 had an alteration in skin
integrity with an actual stage 4 pressure injury to the sacrococcyx (area above the buttock) related to
immobility. The Care Plan's interventions indicated to turn and reposition Resident 2 at least every two
hours and to utilize pillows as repositioning devices. During an observation of Resident 2 on 2/3/2026 at
10:25 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 2:45 p.m., Resident 2 was observed lying on a low air
loss mattress (a specialized therapeutic support surface often featuring alternating, inflating, and deflating
air cells, designed to prevent and treat pressure ulcers) positioned on his left side and a wedge under his
right buttock. During an interview on 2/3/2026 at 2:45 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 stated
Resident 1 could not turn himself and relied on him (CNA 1) to assist him to turn and reposition at least
every two hours to prevent skin breakdown. During an interview on 2/3/2026 at 3:30 p.m., Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 stated the Treatment Nurse (TN) and the Charge Nurses (CN) were responsible
to make sure the residents were turned and repositioned every two hours and as needed. During an
interview on 2/4/2026 at 4:12 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated licensed nurses

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 implement infection control measures for one
of two sampled residents (Resident 2) by failing to:1. Ensure Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)1 and
Registered Nurse (RN)1 wore required personal protective equipment (PPE- clothing and equipment that is
worn or used to provide protection against hazardous substances and/or environments) before entering
Resident 2's room who was on contact isolation ( a set of safety steps used in the facility to stop the spread
of germs that are passed by touching a patient or contaminated items in the resident's room).This failure
had the potential to spread and transmit infections to all residents, staff and visitors.Findings:During an
observation and interview on 2/4/2026 in Resident 2's room with CNA1, CNA 1 and RN 1 were inside the
room without wearing an isolation gown, and gloves. Resident 2 was observed sitting on his wheelchair
while CNA1 and RN 1 held the wheelchair with their bare hands. A sign for Contact Isolation was observed
posted on the wall before entering Resident 2's room. CNA 1 stated they were about to put Resident 2 back
to bed. CNA 1 stated Resident 2 was on contact precautions because of an urinary tract infection (UTI- an
infection in the bladder/ urinary tract).During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission
Record indicated the Resident 2 was initially admitted on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] to the
facility. Resident 2 had diagnoses including UTI, extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL-group of
bacteria that are resistant to common antibiotic and difficult to treat), depression (common, serious medical
illness characterized by a persistent low mood, sadness, and loss of interest in daily activities) and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD-progressive lung disease that causes inflammation, damaging the
airway and make it difficult to breathe).During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS- resident
assessment tool) dated 12/30/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 had moderately impaired cognitive skills
( a person had trouble remembering, learning, making decisions which make daily life challenging) and
required substantial/ maximal assistance ( helper does more than half the effort) with transferring to and
from a bed to a chair, bathing and toileting hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident was incontinent (unable to
control bladder or bowels resulting in leaking urine accidentally) of urine.During a review of Resident 2's
Care Plan titled, Resident on Isolation Precautions related to ESBL, dated 2/2/2026, the Care Plan
interventions included maintaining contact isolation precautions as indicated and monitoring for signs and
symptoms of infection.During a review of Resident 2 SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment,
Recommendation- provides a framework for communication between members of the healthcare team
about a resident's condition) Communication Form dated 2/2/2026, the SBAR Communication Form
indicated Resident 2 urine culture (a laboratory test that detects and identifies bacteria or yeast in a urine
sample to diagnose UTI) was positive for ESBL and the physician was notified.During an interview on
2/4/2026 at 2:42 p.m. with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated he forgot Resident 2 was on contact isolation that's why he
did not wear the isolation gown and gloves in the room. CNA1 stated the staff should wear an isolation
gown, gloves and mask before entering Resident 2's room because he was on contact isolation.During an
interview on 2/4/2026 at 2:59 p.m. with RN 1, RN 1 stated she forgot Resident 2 was on contact isolation
and it was a mistake not wearing the proper PPE. RN 1 stated Resident 2 was on contact isolation because
of the presence of ESBL in the urine.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/4/2026 at 3:10
p.m. with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), Resident 2's urine culture and SBAR dated 2/2/2026 were
reviewed. The IPN stated Resident 2's urine culture had ESBL in the urine and required contact isolation.
The IPN stated CNA 1 and RN 1 should have worn PPE like gloves and isolation gown before entering the
room. The IPN stated every time a staff member enters Resident 2's room, the staff

should practice hand hygiene, wear isolation gown and gloves to prevent cross contamination (the transfer
of bacteria, viruses, microorganisms, or other harmful substances from one surface to another through
improper or unsanitary equipment, procedures, or products) and spread of infection among residents and
staff. During an interview on 2/4/2026 at 5:00 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated not
practicing contact precautions on Resident 2 could cause spread of infection to other residents and can
result in an outbreak (sudden, unexpected increase in the number of disease cases in a specific localized
area or group).During a review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Infection Control- Transmission
Based Precautions, revised 2/2018,the P&P indicated Contact Precautions are intended to prevent
transmission of infections that are spread by direct ( person-to-person) or indirect contact with the resident
or environment and require the use of gown and gloves upon entering the resident's room.
