On 11/2/21 at 4:30 p.m., in an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) said the surgical staples can be
removed at the facility or at the follow-up appointment. The DON confirmed the facility should have
communicated with the surgeon to find out when he wanted the staples removed.
The DON said, We missed it and I will add surgical wound site management to the performance
improvement plan (PIP) I currently have for wounds. I recognize it is a problem that none of the staff
confirmed what the treatment plan was for this resident.
