**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

Review of the nursing progress notes revealed the following:
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 11/03/2023, Skin Observation progress note showed resident had existing skin impairment. Resident
being followed by wound care.
Residents Affected - Some
On 11/06/2023, an Interdisciplinary team meeting occurred, the resident was currently on therapy services.
She was non-weight bearing to the right lower extremity and partial weight bearing to the left lower
extremity.
An interview was conducted with the Wound Care Physician (WCP), the Nursing Home Administrator
(NHA) and the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/11/20223 at 1:25 p.m. The WCP stated she saw Resident
#1 twice. The resident had a cast on her right leg and a removable boot on her left leg. The WCP stated she
does not see post-surgical wounds for at least 90 days post operative. For the first 90 days the resident
belongs to the surgeon. The WCP stated she does not change the surgeon's orders or give any orders
related to the surgical site. The surgeon will evaluate the surgical site and give any new or changed orders.
The DON stated Resident #1 was admitted on [DATE] and verified there were no wound care orders for the
wounds until 11/01/2023. The DON verified after reviewing the medical record there was no documentation
of an assessment or description of the left heel on admission except the left heel had some redness. 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. The DON stated there was not an assessment nor orders put into place for the heel or buttocks
from 10/25/23 to 10/31/23. The DON verified she was unable to find any reference to the boot on the left
lower extremity on the admission. There was no documentation regarding the boot or cast on her lower
extremities.
Continuing the interview with the DON at 3:30 p.m. she stated the nurse performing the admission should
be assessing the wound / pressure ulcer, including describing it at the time and obtaining wound care
orders. If an LPN performs the admission, then an RN should reassess for staging of the wound. The DON
stated, We have an RN in the building every day. She stated when a wound needed consultation, a referral
was sent to the WCP, including the face sheet and an order was put into place for the wound consultation.
She stated they discuss all admissions in the morning meetings and a wound admission would generate a
wound care consult order.
Review of the facility's policy, Wound Treatment Management, implemented on 08/25/2022 showed that to
promote wound healing of various types of wounds, it is the policy of this facility to provide evidence-based
treatments in accordance with current standards of practice and physician orders. Policy Explanation and
Compliance Guidelines:
1. Wound treatments will be provided in accordance with physician orders, including the cleansing method,
type of dressing, and frequency of dressing change.
2. In the absence of treatment orders, the licensed nurse will notify physician to obtain treatment orders.
This may be the treatment nurse, or the assigned licensed nurse in the absence of the treatment nurse.
