The lack of timely and appropriate interventions resulted in Resident #6 developing a new unstageable pressure ulcer on her right heel as well as a worsening of her previously resolved pressure ulcer on her right heel. Resident #6 now has 2 unstageable facility acquired pressure ulcers. Residents Affected - Few The findings included: On 4/25/24 at 9:50 a.m., during a wound care observation for Resident #6 performed by RN Staff C the resident was observed in bed laying slightly on her right side. Resident was awake and stated that she was ok with the nurse doing her wound care treatment at the time. Resident feet were uncovered and her left foot was observed to be laying on one pillow with her heal just slightly elevated off the bed. There was a small adhesive dressing that was coming off the left heel at the time of the observation.

A nurse and CNA staff B, who was assisting, lifted the resident heel up further so that it could be assessed. The nurse removed the dressing and started to assess the area. The area was noted to have a large area of redness that encompassed the entire heel. Then in the dorsal area of the heel an area about the size of a quarter was deeper red, boggy and non-blanchable. The nurse stated that she was going to call the wound care doctor and give him a report on the condition of the left heel and ask for a change in dressing. After this she got a new order she cleaned the area with normal saline apply skin prep, covered the area with a betadine-soaked dressing, covered with ABD pad (absorbant dressing) and wrap with Kerlex. After the nurse completed dressing and had it secured she plumped up the pillow under the resident lower leg so the foot would not be pressing on the bed. Next it was observed that the residents right foot was lying flat on the bed with no elevation of the foot. The nurse was asked if the right foot and heal could be looked at.
