When there is a new wound, we do a COC, we monitor for 3 days, update the careplan, call the doctor and

family. Resident 1 did develop the Sacrococcyx wound in facility, he was on the heavier side, and be pushed
back when we tried to reposition him. He was not able to reposition himself. I can agree the family was not
notified and we should have continued with follow up call to inform.

started.
