Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pressure ulcer (localized damage to the skin and/or
underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence) care for one of three sampled residents (Resident
1), when staff:
Residents Affected - Few
1. did not notify the provider to obtain wound treatments for nine days,
2. did not provide Resident 1 with a low air loss mattress (LAL mattress, pressure relieving device to
prevent skin and tissue breakdown) for four days and,
3. did not complete a care plan for Resident 1 ' s sacral pressure ulcer.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 ' s sacral pressure ulcer growing from one by 1.5 centimeters (cm, a unit
of measurement) to seven by six cm over nine days.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE] to the facility for
stroke (death of an area of brain tissue when a blocked blood vessel prevents delivery of an adequate blood
and oxygen supply to the brain), hemiplegia (the loss of muscle function on one side of the body),
hemiparesis (a relatively mild loss of strength in the arm, leg, and sometimes face on one side of the body),
type 2 diabetes (chronic disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood) and
dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s admission minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool to guide
resident care), dated 10/20/24, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had upper and lower extremity impairment
and was completely dependent on staff for bed mobility (turning and repositioning in bed) and activities of
daily living such as toileting, eating and transferring out of bed. The MDS also indicated Resident 1 was at
high risk of developing pressure ulcers and did not have any pressure ulcers.
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s skin assessment record titled, Braden Scale (assessment score to
predict risk of pressure sore development with a score of 13-14 indicating moderate risk for pressure
ulcers) for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk, dated 10/16/24, the record indicated Resident 1 had a Braden
Score of 13.
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s physician order set titled, Order Summary Report, dated 12/30/24,
the order set indicated Resident 1 had wound care orders for: Low air loss mattress, check for functionality
every shift, dated 11/7/24, and Sacral-coccyx-cleanse with wound cleaner, pat dry,
