F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #2 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a readmission on [DATE] after a hospital admission. Resident #2 diagnoses included End Stage Renal Disease with Dialysis, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Intestinal Fistula and multiple ulcerations of both right and left feet and toes. Residents Affected - Some A review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment completed on 09/22/2023 identified the resident as having intact cognition (Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 13/15) and four venous and/or arterial ulcers. A review of the state form AHCA-3008, dated 10/09/2023, identified three areas of concern under the section of Skin Care - Stage & Assessment. The first area listed was open on sacrum. The second and third area identified open areas on the resident's right toes and an abdominal abscess. Further review of the hospital documentation for the resident's hospital admission which ended on 10/09/2023 did not identify a new treatment order for the open area on his sacrum. Upon readmission to the facility, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) completed the Admission/readmission Nursing Evaluation form on 10/09/2023. Under the Vital Signs section of the form, the nurse added under a comment section: pressure ulcer at coccyx. The resident was identified as requiring assistance with his ADLs (activities of daily living to include bed mobility, transfers, dressing, eating, and toileting). Under the Skin Integrity section, the nurse included the pressure ulcer at the sacrum. A review of the nurse's notes from 10/09/2023 when the resident was readmitted until 10/16/2023 revealed no reference to the resident's new open area to the sacrum. Documentation by the WCP on 10/16/2023 revealed evaluation/assessment of eight areas of skin concerns, including the new pressure wound on the sacrum. The pressure wound on the sacrum was described as a deep tissue pressure injury, measuring 1.5 cm x 1.2 cm, without any measurable depth with 100% epithelial tissue. Treatment recommendations for the sacral pressure wound included twice a day zinc application. An interview was conducted with the Director of Nurses (DON) on 12/11/2023 at 3:45 p.m. The DON reported the WCP would have seen Resident #2 due to his history of multiple areas of skin breakdown to his feet and toes. She confirmed the WCP had been following Resident #2 prior to his transfer to the hospital on [DATE] and return on 10/09/2023. The DON confirmed the WCP assessed the open area to the resident's sacrum and ordered the treatment. The DON confirmed it was not apparent an RN provided (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

The DON verified there was no documentation related to the buttocks on the admission even though the first wound care note dated 10/30/2023 referred to the buttocks MASD being present on admission. The DON stated the admission was performed by the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and a Registered Nurse (RN) note was not found showing a skin assessment was performed including staging of the left heel pressure area. The DON stated the left heel and buttocks MASD should both have been considered wounds on admission.
