Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure timely assessment, treatment, and
notification to the physician and resident representative of a new skin impairment for 2 of 3 sampled
residents reviewed for skin issues (Residents #18 and #65).
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
1. Review of the record revealed Resident #18 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and moved to her
current room on 08/04/20. Review of the current Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated
[DATE] documented Resident #18 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 7, on a 0 to 15
scale, indicating the resident had moderate cognitive impairment.
During an observation on 10/04/21 at 11:16 AM, Resident #18 was sitting up in her wheelchair at bedside.
A gauze boarder dressing dated 09/29/21 was noted to the resident's left outer lower leg. When asked
about the area, Resident #18 was unable to recall what happened. During a subsequent observation on
10/05/21 at 11:27 AM, the same gauze dressing dated 09/29/21 remained on the resident's left leg.
On 10/06/21 at 9:39 AM, a new dressing dated 10/05/21 was noted at the same location on Resident #18's
left leg.
Review of the current physician orders, the treatment administration record (TAR) for September 2021, the
progress notes, and the assessments, lacked any documented evidence of any skin impairment to the left
lower leg as of the date on the gauze dressing, 09/29/21. Further review of the progress notes revealed a
note by the Wound Care Nurse dated 10/05/21 at 12:24 PM, that documented she observed a skin tear to
the resident's left leg, with a small amount of drainage, and a beefy red wound bed. The note documented
the Wound Care Nurse called the physician, received a telephone order for treatment to the skin tear, and
notified the resident's representative.
Review of the current care plans for Resident #18 documented, as of 03/31/20, with the most current
revision on 07/25/21, that Resident #18 was at risk for an alteration in skin integrity related to immobility
and the use of blood thinning medications. One of the interventions was to observe for signs and symptoms
of alteration in skin and report.
During an interview on 10/06/21 at 11:24 AM, the Wound Care Nurse was asked how she identified the skin
tear on the left lower leg of Resident #18 on 10/05/21. The Wound Care Nurse stated it was brought to her
attention by one of the corporate nurses, that she was not aware of the skin tear previously, and agreed the
date on the gauze dressing she removed was 09/29/21. When asked the process if a nurse identifies a new
area of skin impairment, the Wound Care Nurse explained the nurse should notify the physician for an
order, notify the family, and complete a change in condition assessment or progress note. The Wound Care
Nurse stated she would also expect the nurse to either notify her directly of the new area or through a
supervisor, so that she can do weekly measurements and follow the progress. The Wound Care Nurse also
explained the standard protocol for a skin tear would be to provide a physician ordered treatment three
times weekly, unless the skin tear was really bad. The Wound Care Nurse was asked to provide any written
protocol or policy related to identification of a new skin impairment or any related to skin tears.

During a subsequent interview on 10/06/21 at 1:51 PM, the Wound Care Nurse stated there was no written
policy or protocol as requested.
Final review of the record revealed the order, dated 10/05/21, for the skilled nurse to cleanse the left lower
leg with normal saline, pat dry, apply adeptic (a non-adherent mess-like dressing), then calcium alginate
with silver, and cover with a dry dressing, three times a week. The skin grid form, dated 10/05/21 and
completed by the Wound Care Nurse, documented the skin tear was 2 centimeters (cm) long by 2 cm wide
by 0.3 cm deep.
2. Review of the record revealed Resident #65 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of the current
Annual MDS assessment documented the resident had a BIMS score of 7, on a 0 to 15 scale, indicating
the resident had moderate cognitive impairment.
During an observation on 10/05/21 at 12:05 PM, a gauze boarder dressing, that was peeling off around the
edges, was noted on the right forearm of Resident #65. The gauze dressing was dated 09/08/21. During a
subsequent observation on 10/06/21 at approximately 9:20 AM, the same gauze dressing dated 09/08/21
was noted on the right forearm of Resident #65.
During an interview on 10/06/21 at 10:43 AM, Staff B, the Registered Nurse (RN) assigned to care for
Resident #65, stated she was not aware of any skin impairment for the resident. The RN was also asked
about the facility process for weekly skin checks, and Staff B explained the computer prompts the nurse
when the weekly skin check is due for each resident, and then the nurse is to do a head to toe skin
assessment and document the findings on the weekly skin evaluation form in the computer. When asked
the process if she would identify a new area of concern, Staff B stated she would put in a Risk
Management note into the computer, call the physician and the family, and would notify the Wound Care
Nurse. When asked if there was any Risk Management note in the computer for Resident #65 for the past
month, the RN reviewed the electronic record and stated there was not.
During the continued interview on 10/06/21 at 10:48 AM, the surveyor asked to do an observation of
Resident #65 with the nurse. Staff B confirmed the dressing on the right forearm of Resident #65, and
agreed with the date of 09/08/21. The RN removed the dressing and noted a dried scab approximately 0.5
cm long. The Regional Nurse arrived in the room, observed the area and stated, Oh, It's a pinpoint area.
The surveyor questioned her as to the size, and the Regional Nurse did not comment.
During an observation on 10/06/21 at 2:13 PM, the Wound Care Nurse observed the area on the right
forearm of Resident #65 with the surveyor. A 2 cm healed skin tear was noted, with a 0.5 cm dried scab.
Review of the weekly skin assessments documented on 08/31/21 that the resident's skin was intact, and
then lacked a weekly skin assessment for two consecutive weeks. The weekly skin assessment dated
[DATE] documented the resident's skin was impaired with documented skin tears to her left and right lower
legs but none to the right arm, and then documented on 09/28/21 that the resident's skin was intact.
Review of the current physician orders documented as of 03/31/21, to complete weekly skin check
evaluations every evening shift on Tuesday. The current orders lacked any treatment order for the resident's
right forearm. Review of the September 2021 treatment administration record (TAR) lacked any
documented care to the resident's right forearm. This TAR documented all weekly skin evaluations were
completed, as evidenced by a checkmark, but two corresponding weekly skin assessments on 09/07/21

revealed the facility had three 75 mg (milligram) Fentanyl patches available at the time of the survey.
