Reference F686Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure physician orders were
implemented on 11/29/2025 and 12/1/2025 for five out of five sampled residents (Resident 1, Resident 2,
Resident 3, Resident 4, and Resident 5), who required daily treatment for wound (a physical injury to the
body, like a cut or tear in the skin) management to maintain the highest practicable physical well-being.This
failure resulted in lack of daily wound treatment for:a. Resident 1's stoma (a surgically created opening in
the body, usually on the abdomen, that connects an internal organ (like the bowel or urinary system) to the
outside, allowing waste (urine or feces) to exit into a collection bag), left ischium (the curved bone forming
the base of each half of the pelvis), perineal area (the diamond-shaped region of skin and muscle between
the anus and the genitals, extending from the pubic bone to the tailbone), scrotum, and sacrococcyx (lower
part of the spine and tail bone). b. Resident 2's prevention of wound injuryc. Resident 3's bilateral
extremitiesd. Resident 4's left arm caste. Resident 5's left foot, left plantar, right heel, right ischium, right
lateral foot stumpplacing the residents at risk for delayed wound healing and further skin breakdown. A
review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses of quadriplegia (The complete inability to move due to sever disability frailty caused by another
medical condition without physical injury or damage to the spinal cord), colostomy (a surgical procedure
where a surgeon creates an opening in the abdominal wall so that stool can leave the body through he
abdomen instead of the rectum) status, and open wound of left buttock. A review of Resident 1's Minimum
Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool) dated 11/1/2025, indicated Resident 1 had intact cognition
(the mental ability to think, remember and reason) for decisions of daily living, and required maximal
assistance (Helper does MORE THAN HALF the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides
more than half the effort) for eating. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (Helper does ALL of the
effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or, the assistance of 2 or more helpers is
required for the resident to complete the activity) on staff for toileting, lower body dressing, putting on/off
footwear, and showering, rolling left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed, and transferring to
the shower. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was at risk of developing pressure injuries (an injury that breaks
down the skin and underlying tissue when an area of skin is placed under pressure). A review of Resident
1's Order Summary, dated 6/17/2025, indicated for Resident 1, to cleanse with normal saline (NS- a
mixture of sodium chloride and water that is used to clean wounds), pat dry apply skin prep around stoma,
apply colostomy bag everyday shift for colostomy management. Apply Santyl collagenase (is a prescription
medication used to remove dead or damaged tissue from chronic skin ulcers and severe burns. This

Resident 5 was dependent on staff for oral hygiene, toileting, showering, upper and lower body dressing,
putting on taking off footwear, personal hygiene, rolling left and right, sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of
bed. The MDS indicated Resident 5 was at risk of developing pressure injuries. A review of Resident 5's
Order Summary, dated 11/6/2025, indicated cleanse gastrostomy site with NS and apply dry dressing daily
every shift. Apply Santyl ointment to left foot, left plantar, right heel, right ischium, right lateral foot stump,
topically every day for 30 days. Monitor functionality of LAL mattress every shift for wound management,
and provide catheter care (A catheter which is inserted into the bladder, via the urethra or abdomen and
remains in place to drain urine) every shift. A review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR), dated
11/29/2025 and 12/1/2025, the TAR indicated physician-ordered daily wound care was not provided on
scheduled days for Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 1:27 PM with the
Treatment Nurse (TN), the TN stated he is the only full time TN at the facility, and was scheduled to work on
12/1/2025 but was unable to attend his shift. The TN verified treatments provided to residents on
11/29/2025 and 12/1/2025 on the electronic medical record and stated Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 had not
been provided treatment on those days per physician's order. The TN stated there was no documentation
indicating treatment was completed, refused, or held. During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 1:58 PM with
the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), the RNS stated he worked on 12/1/2025 and was aware there was
no assigned treatment nurse during the shift. The RNS stated he did not provide the ordered treatments,
did not reassign another licensed nurse to complete treatments, nor was informed of residents who didn't
receive treatment. The RNS also verified that treatments for residents on 11/29/2025 was not provided by
the treatment nurse assigned that day. The RNS stated the treatment nurse on 11/29/2025 did not report
the missed treatments to anyone, including the physician. During an interview on 12/15/2025 at 2:15 PM
with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the facility failed to assign a treatment nurse on
12/1/2025 which resulted in Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 not receiving treatment as ordered per physician.
The DON stated she assigned herself to provide treatment on 12/1/2025 because she could not find
anyone to provide treatment despite having licensed nurses in the facility that day. The DON stated she did
not prioritize residents who required extensive treatment, or had more complicated wounds, hoping she
could provide treatment to all residents with physician orders, but failed to complete treatments for at least
five residents. The DON stated it is important to follow physician's orders to ensure residents are being
provided with the necessary treatment and services to treat resident's diagnosis based on the clinical
judgment of the ordering physician. The DON stated this failure placed residents at risk for deteriorating
skin integrity. A review of the facility policy and procedures (P&P) titled Medication and Treatment Orders
dated 7/2016, indicated, Medications and treatments shall be administered only upon the written order of a
person licensed and authorized to prescribe such medications and treatments. A review of the facility P&P
titled Competency of Nursing Staff dated 11/2025, indicated, Licensed nurses will demonstrate
competencies deemed necessary to care for the needs of residents as identified through resident
assessments and described in the plans of care. The staff development and training program is created by
the nursing leadership, with input from the medical director, and is designed to train nursing staff to deliver
individualized, safe, quality care and services for the residents. Competency in skills and techniques
necessary to care for residents' needs includes but is not limited to competencies in areas such as skin and
wound care.
