Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement a person-centered comprehensive
care plan to address the resident's medical and physical needs for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 2), reviewed for pressure injury and prevention. Resident 2 who was admitted with a Stage 3
pressure injury (an open, full-thickness skin wound that extends into the fatty tissue but not into the muscle,
bone, or tendon) on his sacrum (situated just above the buttocks) and a SDTPI (suspected deep tissue
pressure injury) to the right and left heel, did not have a weekly treatment documentation from the facility's
wound doctor (WMD) nor the treatment nurse (TN) of a risk assessment, that included measurements of
each area of the skin breakdown. This deficient practice had the potential to result in the worsening of
Resident 2's pressure injuries, by not having a wound doctor evaluate the pressure injury weekly and
current treatments, which could negatively affect Resident 2's comfort and quality of life. Findings: During a
review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the resident was originally
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included metabolic
encephalopathy (a brain dysfunction caused by an underlying condition), hemiplegia and hemiparesis
(paralysis/weakness) following cerebral infarction (a blood clot or blockage restricts blood flow and oxygen
to the brain, damaging brain cells) affecting the left non-dominant side, and diabetes mellitus (blood sugar
is too high). During a review of Resident 2's facility document titled Skin Observation Tool dated 8/29/2025
(date of admission), the Skin Observation Tool indicated Resident 2 had a Stage 3 pressure injury (PI) on
his sacrum and SDTPI on the right and left heel. During a review of Resident 2's History and Physical
Examination (HPE), dated 8/31/2025, the H & P indicated Resident 2 had fluctuating capacity to
understand and make decisions During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan (CP) for Stage 3 pressure Injury
to the sacrum dated 8/29/2025, the Care Plan included the listed interventions a) Assess/record/monitor
wound healing, measure length. with and depth where possible and report improvements and declines to
the Medical Doctor (MD), b) weekly treatment documentation to include measurement of each area of skin
breakdown, width, depth, type of tissue and exudate. During a review of Resident 2's care plan (CP) for
SDTPI on left heel dated 8/29/2025, the Care Plan interventions included to: a) assess/record/monitor
wound healing, measure length. with and depth where possible and report improvements and declines to
Medical Doctor (MD), b) weekly treatment documentation to include measurement of each area of skin
breakdown, width, depth, type of tissue and exudate. During a review of Resident 2's care plan (CP) for
SDTPI on the right heel dated 8/29/2025, the Care Plan interventions included to: a) assess/record/monitor
wound healing, measure length. with and depth where possible and report improvements and declines to
the Medical Doctor (MD), b) weekly treatment documentation to include measurement of each area of skin
breakdown, width, depth, type of tissue and exudate. During a review of Resident 2's facility document titled

8/29/2025, the Braden Scale indicated Resident 2 was bedfast (confined to bed), slightly limited mobility,
and moderately at risk for pressure sore. During a review of Resident 2's facility document titled Order
Summary Report (OSR) dated 8/29/2025, indicated a physician's order for wound consult and follow up
visit by skilled wound care weekly, day shift Thursday Skilled Wound Care (SWC) (company that sends
wound MD to facilities for wound evaluation and treatment). During a review of Resident 2's Minimum Data
Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 9/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive skills
(ability to make daily decisions) were severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required
supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal cues and or touching steadying) with eating,
and substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with bathing, toileting, personal
hygiene and dressing. During an observation on 9/16/2025 at 11:30 AM while in Resident 2's room,
Resident 2 was in bed on his back, with limited mobility, verbalizing words making little or no sense. During
a concurrent interview and record review, on 9/16/2025, at 2:30 PM, with Treatment Nurse (TN) 1, the
(undated) facility binder for Skilled Wound Care (SWC) Communication Log was reviewed, the binder did
not have a weekly assessment from WMD or TN 1 of Resident 2's Stage 3 PI on the sacrum area, and the
SDTPI on Resident 2's right and left heel. TN 1 stated he did not have a weekly assessment of Resident 2's
PI ‘s because he forgot to tell the WMD. TN 1 stated Resident 2 PI's were not reported to the WMD for
evaluation, management and treatment and was not evaluated weekly by the WMD as per the plan of care.
TN 1 stated, Resident 2 missed two weekly assessments, on 9/4/2025 and 9/11/2025. TN 1 stated it is
important for WMD to assess and evaluate Resident 2's PI's to make sure if the wound is getting better or
not, and to ensure proper treatment was being used, due to potential for the PI's to worsened. During a
concurrent interview and record review, on 9/16/2025, at 3 PM, with the Director of Nurses (DON), Resident
2's electronic medical record (EMR -a collection of medical information about a person that is stored on a
computer) from 8/29/2025 until present was reviewed. EMR did not indicate Resident 2 was evaluated by
WMD or had a weekly assessment by WMD. DON stated, the facility did not have any documentation of
WMD initial wound assessment or weekly assessment of Resident 2's PI's as per plan of care. During an
interview on 9/16/2025, at 3:30 PM with the DON, the DON stated the facility did implement the plan of
care for Resident 2's PI's. The DON stated the WMD as well as TN 1 did not have a weekly assessment.
The DON stated not having a weekly assessment of Resident 2 PI's had the potential to result in the
worsening of Resident 2's PI's, by not having a WMD evaluate the pressure injury and effectiveness of
current treatments, which could affect Resident 2's quality of life. A review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P) titled, Prevention of Pressure Injuries, revised on 4/2020, indicated the following: a) the
policy's purpose is to provide information regarding identification of pressure injury risk factors and
interventions for specific risk factors, b) review the resident's care plan and identify the risk factors as well
as the interventions designed to reduce or eliminate those considered modifiable, c) assess resident on
admission for existing pressure injury risk factors, repeat the risk assessment weekly and upon changes of
condition, and evaluate, report and document potential changes in skin, review the interventions and
strategies for effectiveness on an ongoing basis. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown - Clinical Protocol, revised on 4/2020, indicated a) the nursing staff and
practitioner will assess and document an individuals significant risk factors for developing pressure ulcer, b)
the staff and the practitioner will examine the skin of newly admitted residents for evidence of existing
pressure ulcers or other skin conditions, c) the physician will help staff characterize there likelihood of
wound healing based on the review of pertinent factors, and d) the physician will identify medical
interventions related to
