indicated intact cognition. The assessment showed resident #5 had one Stage 2 and one Stage 3 pressure
ulcers.
A stage 2 pressure injury is a partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis. Adipose (fat) is not visible
and deeper tissues are not visible. Granulation tissue, slough and eschar are not present. (Retrieved on
6/30/23 from www.npuap.org).
Review of resident #5's medical record revealed a care plan for actual skin breakdown related to one Stage
3 pressure ulcer of the right heel and one Stage 2 pressure ulcer of the coccyx revised on 6/07/23.
Interventions included to perform Wound care as ordered, see current treatment record and physician's

Review of resident #1's physician orders revealed the following wound care orders:
*Coccyx - Cleanse with wound cleanser, pat dry apply zinc oxide paste and leave open to air every day shift
dated 5/23/23.
*Right heel - Cleanse with wound cleanser, pat dry apply honey fiber to wound bed secure with border foam
daily every day shift dated 6/08/23.
Review of the TAR for June 2023 showed wound care was not performed on the right heel on 6/14 and on
the coccyx on 6/8, 6/9 and 6/14. There was no documentation in resident #5's medical record explaining

was performed or residents refused the treatments on the above noted days. She stated nurses were
expected to document the wound care performed and follow the physician's orders.
