Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to provide appropriate wound care by not following professional standards of care for one resident (#87) of three residents sampled for non-pressure related skin conditions.Findings included: On 08/12/25 at 1:45 PM an interview was conducted with Resident #87, who said he was here at the facility due to a wound on the right foot that became infected prior to admission to the facility. Observation of the resident's right foot revealed the right foot was covered in a gauze dressing and dated 08/12/25. Resident #87 said the dressing had been changed earlier today.An observation was conducted on 08/13/25 at 12:00 PM of Resident #87's right foot covered in a gauze dressing dated 08/13/25. Review of Resident #87's electronic medical record revealed a wound care physician order dated 07/29/25 for wound care-right hallux/plantar-apply collagen then apply calcium alginate-wrap with (gauze) and then (self-adherent bandage) daily and as needed. The physician order for the right heel dated 07/30/25 revealed wound care-right heel-cleanse with normal-saline pat dry-apply collagen-then apply calcium alginate-cover with dry dressing every day and as needed. Review of the physician order dated 07/06/25 for Resident #87's right foot revealed Medi honey wound/burn dressing external gel apply to open area right foot. On 08/14/25 at approximately 2:30 PM an observation of wound care for Resident #87's right foot was conducted provided by Nurse F, a Licensed Practical Nurse. Nurse F was observed to perform hand hygiene and don a gown and gloves prior to removing the soiled dressing from Resident #87's right foot. Nurse F then removed gloves and did not perform hand hygiene before donning new gloves and proceeded to clean the right plantar wound. Nurse F then cleaned the wound to the resident's right heel without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene. Nurse F was then observed to apply collagen and dry dressing to the right heel and then applied Medi honey and collagen to the right plantar wound without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene and covered both wounds with (gauze) dressing and secured with tape. Nurse F then removed the gloves and gown and performed hand hygiene. On 08/14/25 at 2:40 PM an interview was conducted with Nurse F who confirmed hand hygiene was not performed after removing the soiled dressing and applying clean gloves, and further confirmed gloves were not changed and hand hygiene was not performed between the two different wounds on Resident #87's right foot and that would be considered an infection control issue. After reviewing the physician orders for wound care for Resident #87 with Nurse F, Nurse F indicated the treatment order was not followed because the calcium alginate was not applied to either wound nor was the wound covered with (self-adherent bandage). On 08/14/25 at approximately 2:50 PM an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) who said the expectation was that the nurse follows the physician orders for treatments and use good infection control practices and hand hygiene in between each step of the wound care process and in between each wound as well.
