**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to follow the facility policy of documenting identified changes
in the sacral skin condition for 1 of 1 sampled resident reviewed for pressure ulcers, Resident #1.The
findings included:Review of facility's policy, titled, Wound Prevention, Skin Observation, with an effective
date of 10/19/05, and a revision date of 11/21/17, documented that 'the nurse would evaluate and
document identified changes in the weekly skin check section of the electronic medical record.' Record
review documented Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] after a surgical operation of the right
knee. The resident had history of Vancomycin induced Acute Kidney Injury, Atrial Fibrillation and
Hypertension. The resident was discharged to a hospital on [DATE]. Review of the admission Minimum
Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 02/02/26, documented Resident #1 had a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS) score of 14 indicating he had good cognitive function.Section M revealed a presence of one
Stage I pressure ulcer or injury. Review of nursing progress notes, dated 01/27 26 at 9:35 PM and on
01/28/26 at 10:11 AM, documented Resident #1 had redness and/or sacral rashes with no signs and
symptoms of infection noted. The notes added that the sacral rashes were present on admission. After
01/28/26, there were no further nursing progress notes about the redness or sacral rashes. The daily
general skin assessment documented the skin was warm and dry, with several documentations regarding
the right knee surgical site skin conditions on these dates: 02/09/26, 02/03/26, 02/02/26, 01/28/26, and
01/27/26. In an interview conducted with Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 02/12/26 at
approximately 11:13 AM, she was asked their process of admitting new resident. She responded they help
the resident in the room and perform skin assessment with the nurses. Staff A stated the nurses document
all the findings, and they both agreed that if there are skin conditions they must be reported to the doctor.
She stated she continually performs skin assessments when she performs daily care to the resident and
then reports to the nurse if there are new skin conditions observed or if the former skin condition is
worsening. In an interview conducted with Staff B, Registered Nurse, on 02/12/26 at 12:43 PM, when she
was asked her admission process, she responded that she and the assigned CNA perform the head-to-toe
assessment to ensure all skin areas are assessed. She takes notes of any redness, or open skin areas,
notifies the doctor and documents all her findings in the progress notes. Staff B added that the staff
performed weekly skin assessment for Resident #1 to makes sure the redness in the sacral area was
improving. She stated she remembered applying cream to that area. When she was asked if she monitored
and measured the sacral redness / rashes after the initial admission assessment, she responded, no. She
stated she did not monitor or measure the area because the wound care nurse does the monitoring and
measuring. Staff B stated the wound care nurse documented all the skin conditions for the resident after the
staff nurses make the skin referral. In an interview conducted with Staff D, Wound Care Nurse on 02/12/26
at approximately 11:26 AM when asked if she assessed and monitored

the sacral area with redness/rashes for Resident #1, she responded that she saw it on admission, a cream
was ordered by the physician, and the nurses applied the cream daily as ordered. Staff D stated, the
resident was in a 'turning every 2 hours program', but no, she did not monitor the sacral area, and only
monitored and documented updates regarding Resident #1's right knee surgical area. She stated she
thought the staff nurses were monitoring and documenting the sacral area redness and rashes.In
continuing interviews with the nurses, they stated that skin conditions are documented upon admission, and
weekly thereafter, but when they were asked to provide the documentation for Resident #1, they stated they
did not document the weekly skin assessment of the sacral area. They stated they thought the Wound Care
Nurse is responsible for the weekly documentation of the sacral area for Resident #1. Review of Resident
#1's nursing care plan revealed the sacral area would show evidence of healing by 02/13/26. The
interventions revealed to monitor, measure and document wound status on a weekly basis until healed.
Additional record reviews revealed no documentation in the nursing progress notes regarding monitoring,
measuring, and documenting the wound status on a weekly basis. In an interview conducted with the
Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) at approximately 4:30 PM, when informed that staff nurses thought
that only the Wound Care Nurse was documenting, measuring and monitoring Resident #1's sacral area,
she responded that all staff nurses received Health Stream (the facility's online continuing education
flatform) training regarding documentation of pressure ulcers. She did not understand why the facility
nurses were not documenting according to the training and their policy.
