Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident 1) of
three sampled residents received care which met services provided to meet professional standards when
nursing assessments related to changes in Resident 1's skin integrity (skin health) was not documented in
Resident 1's medical record.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in inaccurate assessment documentation which had the potential to prevent Resident
1's skin integrity from further impairment.

syncope (fainting or passing out) and collapse, muscle weakness, abnormalities of gait (a manner of
walking) and mobility, presence of right and left artificial knee joint (knee replacement), and schizophrenia
(a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought).
A review of a Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 4/9/25,
indicated Resident 1:
· No memory impairment,
· Risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries (localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue
usually over a bony prominence),
· Impairment on one side lower extremity (hip, knee, ankle, foot),
· Substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) sit to lying, sit to stand,
chair/bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, tub/shower transfer,
· Unable to walk 10 feet,
· Wheelchair independent and,
· Always incontinent (lack of voluntary control over urination or defecation) of urinary and bowel.
A review of Resident 1's discontinued orders 3/25-4/25, indicated a phone order was received on 4/10/25 at
3:19 p.m., by License Nurse 1 (LN 1). The order summary indicated, LAL (low-air loss mattress [a
