She stated, Yes, if I have anyone who needs wound care. When asked if she knew which residents needed wound care.

When asked how wound care is documented after it is completed. She stated, We check it off on the eTAR. Write a nurses note if anything unusual or worsening wound and let the wound care nurse know. When asked how often the wound care nurse does the wound care for residents. She stated, He does them weekly with the wound PA, and he does wound treatments here and there, but he doesn't do all of them. I think some people think he does all the wound care, but he doesn't, and everybody should know that he doesn't do all the treatments every day. When asked if some staff think the wound care nurse will do the wound care and then they don't do the wound care. She stated, Yes, I hear both agency and staff nurses say they aren't doing the wound care because there's a wound care nurse to do them.

She stated, Yes, to be honest with you, I have seen that. When asked what she does when that occurs. She stated, I try and get it done.
