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.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.
