This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a laceration (a deep, jagged tear or cut in the skin, often caused by a sharp object or blunt trauma, resulting in an irregular wound that could bleed significantly) to his right hand between his right thumb and right pointer finger, that required eight sutures (a stitch or row of stitches holding together the edges of a wound or surgical incision) and abrasions (a minor injury to the skin that occurs when the skin is rubbed or scraped) to his right forearm, right knee and left knee. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnosis including metabolic encephalopathy (a brain disorder that occurs when there is a chemical imbalance in the blood caused by an illness), and gait and mobility abnormalities (changes in a person's walking patterns or balance that occur because of problems in the body). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 1/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was able to make decisions that were consistent and reasonable, and he was independent ambulating (the act of walking and moving about) and transferring from bed/chair to chair in the facility.

The COC indicated Resident 1 complained of pain rated two out of 10 on a pain rating scale (an eleven-point scale where pain is rated from zero to 10; 0=no pain, 1-3=mild pain, 4-6=moderate pain, and 7-10=severe pain, and 10=worst imaginable pain), to his right hand. During a review of Resident 1's Transfer Form dated 2/18/2025 and timed at 10:54 a.m., the Transfer Form indicated Resident 1 was transferred to a General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) because of a cut on his right hand between his thumb and second digit (finger).
