Level of Harm - Minimal harm

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Inform family of the development of stage 2 (partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or
both and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater) pressure injury (injury to skin and/or
underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure or friction on the skin) at sacral (lower back area) area
for one of one sampled resident (Resident 1).
2. Explain the risk and benefits and obtain consent prior to performing wound debridement for the stage 2
pressure injury on one of one sampled resident (Resident 1).
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1's family not notified with Resident 1's pressure injury status
and physician performing a procedure without Resident 1's family consent.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P, a formal and complete assessment of the
patient and the problem), dated 12/17/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses with stroke (CVA - stroke; damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply), ventilator
(an appliance for artificial breathing) dependent respiratory failure (condition in which not enough oxygen
passes from the lungs into the blood), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), diabetes mellitus type II (a group of
diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood) and hypertension (high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment and screening
tool) - Section M - Skin Conditions, dated 12/22/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had no pressure
injuries.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/17/2024 at 5 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's wound photo of sacral, dated 1/9/2024 was reviewed. The photo indicated, stage 2 sacral
wound. DON stated Resident 1 acquired pressure injury at the facility. DON stated it was considered
change of condition and family should have been notified. DON stated there was no documentation to
support Resident 1's family was notified with Resident 1's development of stage 2 pressure injury.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/17/2024 at 5:03 p.m. with DON, Resident 1's Wound
Care Evaluation and Treatment (progress notes, completed by wound care specialist who is a physician
specialized in wound care and treatment) dated 1/9/2024 was reviewed. The progress notes indicated
Resident 1 had a stage 2 pressure injury to sacral area and it was excisional debrided through

subcutaneous tissue. DON stated it was a bedside debridement procedure which is considered as invasive
procedure. DON state the wound care specialist (Physician 1) needed to explain risk and benefits of the
invasive procedure and obtain consents from Resident 1's family prior the procedure. DON stated she
(DON) did not see Resident 1's family consent was documented in Physician 1's progress notes. DON
stated it was violation of Resident 1's rights to perform invasive procedure without informed consent.

During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Resident's Rights and Responsibilities,
dated 11/2023, the P&P indicated, To ensure that all employees and contractors of [the facility] fully support
and ensure the rights of residents when providing service, in accordance with the combined state and
federal regulations and requirements . The resident has the right to be fully informed in language that he or
she can understand of his or her total health status, including but not limited to, his or her medical condition
. A facility must immediately inform the resident, consult with the resident's physician; and if known, notify
the resident's legal representative or an interested family member when there is - a significant change in
the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial status (i.e., a deterioration in health, mental or psychosocial
status in either life-threatening conditions or clinical complications.) a need to alter treatment significantly.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
Based on Interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure its nursing staff develop a comprehensive
care plan (provides a framework for evaluating and providing resident care needs related to the nursing
process) to address the pressure injury on one of one sampled resident (Resident 1) when Patient 1
developed stage 2 (partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both and presents clinically as
an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater) pressure injury (injury to skin and/or underlying tissue resulting from
prolonged pressure or friction on the skin) at sacral (lower back) area.
This deficient practice had resulted in nursing staff failing to provide adequate intervention and care to
Resident 1 and led to Resident 1's sacral pressure injury to worsen and progressed to Stage 3 (full
thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P, a formal and complete assessment of the
patient and the problem), dated 12/17/2023, the H&P indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses with stroke (CVA - stroke; damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply), ventilator
(an appliance for artificial breathing) dependent respiratory failure (condition in which not enough oxygen
passes from the lungs into the blood), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), diabetes mellitus type II (a group of
diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood) and hypertension (high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a comprehensive assessment and screening
tool) - Section M - Skin Conditions, dated 12/22/2023, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had no pressure
injuries.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/17/2024 at 5 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's wound photo of sacral, dated 1/9/2024 was reviewed. The photo indicated, stage 2 sacral
wound. DON stated Resident 1 acquired pressure injury at the facility.
During an interview on 4/17/2024 at 5:33 p.m. with DON, DON stated there was no care plan developed on
1/9/2024 when Resident 1's pressure injury was discovered. DON stated a care plan is needed to address
how to provide care for the pressure injury, without a care plan, care could be delayed and wound could get
worse.
During a review of Resident 1's general acute care hospital record wound photo/assessment (photographic
documentation for wound), dated 1/13/2024, the wound photo/assessment indicated Resident 1 had stage
3 (full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed)
sacral pressure injury.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Wound Care: Assessment and
Documentation, dated 11/2023, the P&P indicated, Care Plan should be individualized and initiated within
12 hours of admission for patients at risk for or with existing open or pressure wounds . It should provide a
guideline to maintain or improve tissue tolerance in order to prevent injury and to protect against the
adverse effects of mechanical forces.
