Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident
assessment tool) section regarding the total number of venous ulcers (wounds caused by impaired blood
flow in the [veins] blood vessels that return blood to the heart) and arterial ulcers (wounds caused by
insufficient blood supply in the [arteries] blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the body)
was accurate for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1).
Residents Affected - Some
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a delay in necessary care and treatment.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the
resident on 3/31/2025 with diagnoses including sepsis (when the body's response to an infection damages
its own tissues and organs), metabolic encephalopathy (brain disorder that affect brain function), and acute
respiratory failure (lungs cant release enough oxygen into the blood) with hypoxia (low levels of oxygen in
the body tissues).
During a review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated that Resident 1 was cognitively (the
mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the
senses) impaired and dependent from staff for transfer, dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing.
The MDS indicated Resident 1 had a total number of zero (0) venous and arterial ulcers present.
During a review of Resident 1's Wound Weekly Monitoring Assessment Non-Pressure dated 4/1/2025, the
document indicated wound description of 12 arterial ulcers.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/15/2025 at 9:35 a.m., with the Minimum Data Set
Coordinator (MDSC), reviewed Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE] and Resident 1's Wound Weekly
Monitoring Assessment Non-Pressure dated 4/1/2025. The MDSC stated Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE]
was coded in error and should have been coded with the number of arterial ulcers present based on
Resident 1's Wound Weekly Monitoring Assessment Non-Pressure wound description, dated 4/1/2025. The
MDSC stated it was important to accurately code the MDS to ensure it reflects Resident 1's current skin
condition. The MDSC also stated the purpose of coding accurately the resident's status was to provide
necessary care and treatment.
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 10:00 a.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that
Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE] should have been coded accurately for Resident 1 to receive timely care
and treatment.
