Residents Affected - Some
Findings:
1. Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for skilled nursing and wound care services. Her
diagnoses included infected unstageable pressure ulcer on her right heel, chronic bilateral leg edema,
diabetes, breast cancer, vascular dementia, and history of strokes.
According to the admission Nursing Data Collection dated 4/25/23 at 10:51 PM, the resident was admitted

Review of resident #1's medical record noted she was readmitted to the hospital for worsening of the right
heel pressure wound on 5/18/23 and was discharged from the facility. Review of the resident's April and
May 2023 Medication Administration Records (MARs) and Treatment Administration Records (TARs)
revealed there was no orders for the IV midline dressing to be changed. There was not any documented
evidence to indicate the IV midline dressing had been changed for 23 days while the resident remained in
the facility from 4/25/23 until 5/18/23
On 5/20/23 at 5:45 PM, the interim Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged there were no orders or any
documentation to show resident #1's IV midline dressing had been changed while at the facility. She did not
have an explanation as to what had happened.
2. Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included Parkinson's disease,
diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, urinary tract infection (UTI), hydronephrosis, and post-surgical

Nurse (LPN) E. The clear adhesive dressing was loose on the inner side of the arm and dried reddish
brown residue was visible under the dressing. The edge of the dressing on the inner aspect of his arm was
peeled up and a reddish brown discolored two inch by two inch (2 x 2) gauze dressing

coved the insertion site. The date on the dressing was 5/15/23 indicating the last time the dressing was
changed. LPN E stated the dressing needed to be changed. She explained the protocol was to change
midline dressings at least weekly and as needed if soiled or loose.
Review of resident #2's medical record with LPN E on 5/30/23 at 1:05 PM, revealed the midline IV was
inserted in to his left upper arm on 5/15/23. There were no physician orders for the IV dressing to be
changed. There was no documented evidence in the medical record, the MAR or the TAR to indicate the IV
dressing had been changed since it was inserted 15 days ago. LPN E confirmed this finding and did not
have an explanation as to why the dressing change order had not been obtained or placed on the TAR.
3. Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of late Alzheimer's disease, stroke with
hemiparesis, diabetes, and history of UTIs.
On 5/30/23 at 4:15 PM, the Unit Coordinator for Nursing Units 1 & 2 reported resident #3 had a midline IV
for antibiotics and fluids inserted 5/25/23. At 4:40 PM, resident #3's left upper arm midline dressing was
observed with a clear adhesive dressing and gauze dressing underneath. The adhesive dressing was
peeled and dirty on all edges and was dated as having last been changed on 5/25/23. There was dried
reddish brown residue under the dressing and on the gauze. The Unit Coordinator acknowledged the
dressing needed to be changed as it was soiled and peeling off. She was not certain if the dressing had
been changed since the IV's insertion.
Resident #3's May 2023 TAR revealed that after insertion of the IV midline on 5/25/23, the IV dressing had
not been changed. There was no order to change the dressing in 2 days as per protocol when a gauze
dressing was used under the clear adhesive dressing. The only order on the TAR was for the IV midline
dressing to be changed every 7 days dated 5/25/23. The Unit Coordinator acknowledged that an order
needed to have been obtained to change the IV dressing 2 days after the IV insertion because of the gauze
dressing underneath the clear adhesive dressing that covered the insertion site.
The facility's policy and procedure titled, Intravenous Therapy included the following information related to
IV site dressing changes: Dressing Change - Use either sterile transparent semipermeable or sterile gauze
dressing to cover the catheter site. If the patient is diaphoretic or if the site is bleeding or oozing, use a
gauze dressing until this is resolved. Change gauze dressing for both central and peripheral sites every 2
days and if they are damp, loosened or visibly soiled. Note: a gauze dressing under a transparent
semipermeable dressing is considered a gauze dressing and needs to be changed at least every 2 days.
For central and midline catheter sites: .Change transparent dressings every 7 days and if: Dressing is
loose, soiled or compromised in any way. Site is obscured or no longer visible. Dressing appears to be
saturated or overly swollen.

www.drugs.com/cg/midline-catheter.html
Review of the Infectious Disease consultant physician notes dated 5/4/23 noted the resident went for a
follow-up visit for the right heel pressure wound. The physician ordered IV Cefepime 1 gram to be continued
every 8 hours for two more weeks from 5/4/23 to 5/18/23.
Review of the resident's medical record revealed no physician orders documented to continue Cefepime IV
for two more weeks. Review of progress notes and the MAR for May 2023 noted no transcription of IV
Cefepime or any indication the IV antibiotic was given. There was no documented evidence the resident
received IV Cefepime from 5/4/23 through 5/18/23 as ordered by the Infectious Disease physician for the
infected right heel pressure wound.
On 5/30/23 at 2:36 PM, a voicemail was left for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) C who accompanied
resident #1 for the follow up visit with the Infectious Disease physician on 5/4/23. On 5/31/23 2:41 PM, CNA
C returned the call and confirmed she accompanied resident #1 on 5/4/23 to the follow up appointment.

take back to the facility. She said they returned to the facility between 5 PM and 6 PM. She stated she
handed the visit paperwork to the resident's nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A. CNA C reiterated she
gave the paperwork directly to the nurse, then left.

she was in the room with the resident during the assessments. CNA D stated the doctor jumped back when
she took the dressing off the resident's foot and made a face like it smelled really bad. She indicated the
doctor told the resident the wound was more infected and she was sending the resident to the hospital to
be admitted and said, you are not going back to the facility. CNA D explained the doctor was very upset with
the nursing home and told the resident, I'm sorry because I was the one who sent you to that place and you
aren't going back, The CNA said the doctor was asked her if there really was a wound physician at our
facility and she replied, yes and he visited every week. CNA D said her sense of smell was not good but
she smelled the odor from the resident's right heel when the dressing was removed which meant that it
must have smelled really bad.
An Infectious Disease physician's visit note dated 5/18/23 noted resident #1 went for a second follow-up
visit. During this visit, the resident was transferred to the hospital from the physician's office. In emails dated
5/18/23 to the facility, the hospital's nurse and Licensed Certified Social Worker indicated the resident was
readmitted to the hospital due to malodorous and worsening right foot pressure ulcer.
On 5/30/23 at 9:56 AM, the facility's Social Worker, Risk Manager, Administrator and acting Director of
Nursing (DON) acknowledged the facility nurse failed to review the orders the Infectious Disease physician
sent from the 5/4/23 follow up visit. They acknowledged the orders to continue the IV antibiotic were not
transcribed to the MAR and the resident did not receive the IV Cefepime for the additional two weeks as
ordered. The Social Worker stated she had received emails and calls from the hospital's nurse and Social
Worker on 5/18/23 informing them of the Infectious Disease physician's concerns about the resident's
worsening right heel pressure ulcer. The Social Worker stated they were informed the right heel ulcer had a
very odorous smell and looked worse. She said she was informed the resident was readmitted to the
hospital for testing and IV antibiotics. She stated she immediately informed the DON at that time and an
investigation was started.
On 5/30/23 at 2:20 PM, telephone calls were made to the hospital's Social Worker (SW) and voicemails
were left inquiring about resident #1. The hospital's SW called back on 6/2/23 at 9:47 AM and reported she
had received permission from the resident to speak about her condition. She explained the resident had
received more intensive IV antibiotic therapy, had multiple other tests done including Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) and wound cultures. She reported the right heel wound cultures done on 5/18/23 revealed
infection with two different bacteria. She noted the resident was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] and
remained there as of 6/2/23.
A facility policy and procedure (P/P) titled, Physician/Practitioner Orders - Rehab/Skilled was reviewed. It
