Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, review of the clinical record, review of facility policies and procedures and staff interview, the facility failed to maintain documentation of accurate skin evaluation and interventions to prevent the development of pressure injury for 1 (Resident #372) of 3 residents reviewed with wounds.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included: Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Pressure Injury Risk Assessment with a revision date of 1/7/20 revealed the purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the assessment and identification of residents at risk of developing pressure injury(s). The general guidelines of the policy noted Pressure injury(s) are usually formed when a resident remains in the same position for an extended period of time causing pressure or a decrease circulation (blood flow) to that area, which destroys the tissues . A pressure injury risk assessment will be completed upon admission, with each additional assessment; quarterly, annually and with significant changes .Because a resident at risk can develop a pressure injury within 2 to 6 hours of the onset of the pressure, the at-risk resident needs to be identified and have interventions implemented promptly to attempt to prevent pressure injury(s) .Skin will be assessed for the presence of developing pressure injury(s) on a weekly basis or more frequently if indicated. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #372 was admitted on [DATE] with a diagnosis of right femur fracture and weakness. Resident #372 required assistance with personal care. On 1/11/21 at 10:00 a.m., during an interview Resident #372 said she was living independently at home, had a fall and fractured her right leg. The resident said she was receiving physical and occupational therapy at the facility. Review of the admission skin assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #372 had a right hip surgical site with 17 staples. The skin assessment did not document the presence of a pressure injury. Review of the admission Braden scale (tool used to predict pressure ulcer risk) revealed Resident #372 scored a 17 indicating the resident was at risk for developing a pressure injury. The MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment with a target date of 11/9/20 revealed Resident #372 was not admitted with a pressure ulcer and required extensive physical assistance of 2 persons for bed mobility, transfer, and toilet use. The care plan (documents interventions to address the resident's needs) initiated on 11/20/20

documented Resident #372 was not able to complete activities of daily living independently due to a recent hip fracture. Review of the weekly skin observation dated 11/25/20 revealed documentation Resident #372 scored a 16 (at risk) on the current pressure ulcer risk score. The nurse documented none on the skin Treatment/Interventions. Review of the weekly skin observation dated 12/2/20 revealed documentation Resident #372 scored a 0 (very high risk) on the current pressure ulcer risk score. The nurse documented none on the skin Treatment/Interventions. Review of the physician's progress note dated 12/18/20 revealed Resident #372 developed a stage 2 (wound that expands into deeper layers of the skin) pressure ulcer on the buttocks midline measuring 1.6 centimeters (cm) in length by 0.5 cm in width and 0.1 cm in depth., with 20% of the wound covered in necrotic yellow slough (dead tissue). The physician documented excision of the necrotic (dead tissue) yellow slough. On 12/23/20 the nurse documented Resident #372 scored a 0 (very high risk) for a pressure ulcer, had no wound or red areas and had no skin treatment or intervention. The skin observation was not accurate and did not document the presence of the pressure ulcer acquired at the facility. On 1/14/21 at 9:12 a.m., in an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #372 had an in house acquired pressure wound. She provided an undated, typed paper which she signed that read Pressure relieving w/c [wheelchair] cushion on admit, house barrier cream [brand name] applied since admit, added low loss air mattress with sign of skin breakdown (split in the crease started) put on by nurse.
