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** Based on observation, record review, review of the facility's protocol, Resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to implement preventive measures to prevent the development of pressure ulcers for 1 (Resident #13) of 1 resident at risk for pressure ulcer.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included: The facility's Pressure Ulcer Treatment and Prevention Protocol, revised in November 2022, noted the protocol provides guidelines for the assessment of skin integrity; interventions for the prevention and treatment of impaired skin integrity; and the evaluation and modification of the plan of care related to the resident's skin integrity. Prevention and intervention measures are placed in the resident plan of care. The protocol listed the following risk factors that increase the resident's susceptibility to develop or have impaired-healing pressure injuries: Impaired/decreased mobility; co-morbid conditions; drugs that affect wound healing; impaired diffuse or localized blood flow; resident refusal of some aspects of care and treatment; cognitive impairment; exposure of skin to urinary and fecal incontinence; under nutrition, malnutrition, and hydration deficits, and a history of a healed pressure injury and its stage. Residents are assessed for pressure injury risk factors using the Braden Scale for predicting pressure sore risk. The pressure injury prevention intervention should be initiated on residents with a Braden Scale of 18 or less and/or found at high risk for pressure injury. Recommended Nursing Interventions included: Assess for nutrition and rehabilitation needs and discuss obtaining consults; Utilize repositioning techniques, heel protection, special positioning devices, and specialty beds; Provide supportive devices to support position changes; Frequency of repositioning is based on resident condition and tolerance; Protect heels and elbows with dressings or pads; The health care provider is notified and asked to reevaluate any non-healing wound after a two week period; Document reasons why interventions were not appropriate or feasible. Review of the clinical record for Resident #13 revealed an admission date of 2/2/2022 with diagnoses including but not limited to heart disease, heart failure, and high blood pressure. Upon admission, Resident #13 scored 18 on the Braden scale indicating the resident was at risk for development of pressure ulcers. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date of 2/5/22, and the quarterly MDS dated [DATE] noted the resident's skin was intact but she was at risk for development of pressure ulcers. Resident #13 required extensive physical assistance of two persons for bed mobility (how resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed or alternate sleep furniture). Resident #13's cognition was intact. The care plan initiated on 2/2/22 noted Resident #13 was at risk for skin breakdown (history of skin tears/fragile skin, needs extensive to total assistance with positioning, incontinent of bowel and bladder). The approaches as of 2/2/22 included to monitor the skin during routine care and toileting, report any concerns to the charge nurse or the physician for follow up; Weekly skin checks during
