Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' pressure ulcers (injuries to the skin
and the tissue below the skin that are due to pressure on the skin for a long time) had weekly assessment
for four of seven residents (1, 2, 3, and 4). This failure resulted in undetermined wound status and had the
potential to negatively affect the healing of the wounds and/or to cause the deterioration of the wounds.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
Review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including severe obesity, muscle weakness, and cognitive communication deficit.
Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated she had a pressure ulcer stage 2 (a partial-thickness skin
loss that appears as a shallow, open wound with a red or pink wound bed) on her sacrum (a large,
triangular bone at the base of the spine), but her sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/8/24 to
12/2/24.
Review of Resident 2's admission Record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, and
dementia (loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to
interfere with daily life).
Review of Resident 2's clinical record indicated he had an unstageable pressure ulcer (a full-thickness
pressure injury in which the base is obscured by soft, yellow, white and/or thick, dry, black, brown dead
tissue) on his sacrum, but his sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24.
Review of Resident 3's admission Record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including severe obesity, muscle weakness, and peripheral vascular disease (the reduced
circulation of blood to a body part, other than the brain or heart, due to a narrowed or blocked blood
vessel).
Review of Resident 3's clinical record indicated she had a deep tissue pressure injury (DTPI, a serious form
of pressure injuries; the condition remains invisible for up to 48 hours and then progresses rapidly to
full-thickness skin and soft tissue loss) on her right lateral foot, but her right lateral foot DTPI was not
assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24.
Review of Resident 4's admission Record indicated he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with

Residents Affected - Some
diagnoses including muscle weakness, difficulty in walking, and sepsis (a serious condition in which the
body responds improperly to an infection; the infection-fighting processes turn on the body, causing the
organs to work poorly).
Review of Resident 4's clinical record indicated he had a pressure ulcer stage 3 (pressure injury extends
through the skin into deeper tissue and fat) on his sacrum, but his sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed
from 8/13/24 to 8/29/24, from 8/31/24 to 9/12/24, and from 9/14/24 to 10/21/24.
During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 12/10/24, at 3:30p.m., he reviewed Resident 1's,
Resident 2's, Resident 3's, and Resident 4's clinical records and confirmed that Resident 1's sacral
pressure ulcer was not assessed from 11/8/24 to 12/2/24; Resident 2's sacral pressure ulcer was not
assessed from 11/13/24 to 12/2/24; Resident 3's right lateral foot DTPI was not assessed from 11/13/24 to
12/2/24; and Resident 4's sacral pressure ulcer was not assessed from 8/13/24 to 8/29/24, from 8/31/24 to
9/12/24, and from 9/14/24 to 10/21/24. The DON stated the residents' pressure ulcers should be assessed
every week.
Review of the progress notes of the physician assistant-certified (PA-C) from Professional Wound
Specialists organization where the facility sent its residents for pressure ulcer treatments indicated that the
residents' pressure ulcers needed to be followed up, assessed, and evaluated in seven days.
