The facility must ensure that pain management is provided to residents who require such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents’ goals and preferences. (l) Dialysis. The facility must ensure that residents who require dialysis receive such services, consistent with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents’ goals and preferences. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide necessary care and services to maintain Resident 1's highest physical level of well-being when a treatment was not done resulting in an infection of a wound. A wound V.A.C. (Vacuum Assisted Closure) (a mechanical suctioning device (machine) used with a foam dressing for wound treatment and healing) treatment for one (Resident 1) of two residents receiving this treatment, was not changed according to physician orders. The treatment was signed by Licensed Staff A as completed. Licensed Staff A stated she had not actually completed the treatment. The failure to perform the ordered treatment resulted in an infection in Resident 1's wound. Resident 1 had to be re-admitted to the local hospital due to the infection. This failed practice has the potential for other treatments not being performed as ordered and causing other residents in the facility harm.

This "neglect" had resulted in an infection in Resident 1's wound. The wound had been "draining green purulent material", resulting in another hospitalization for Resident 1. Review of a document titled, "Admission-Clinical Admission Combined", dated 12/08/16, revealed Resident 1 was a 78 year old male who was admitted to the facility on 12/08/16. Resident 1 had abdominal surgery to repair a widening of the aorta (artery that carries blood to the stomach, pelvis, and legs). The surgery left Resident 1 with a wound in his right groin, which needed nursing care, and for which the wound V.A.C. treatment had been ordered. Resident 1's clinical record included a physician order in the "Treatment Administration History: 12/08/16- 01/04/17" to apply "Santly (collagenase clostridium histo.) (a medication) ointment; 250 units/gram; topical (onto the skin) once a day on Mon, Wed, Fri ", with Special instructions "white foam base, then black foam (used with the wound V.A.C.) continue to apply Santly to area of slough (whitish colored dead tissue) with dressing changes." The start date for the order was 12/28/16. The document revealed Licensed Staff A's initials on the page for 12/28/16 and 01/02/17. The document revealed a note by Licensed Staff A written on 01/02/17 at 18:33 (6:33 p.m.) "Comment: Done on time at 15:30 (3:30 p.m.)."

Licensed Staff A stated she had "signed it for other nurses" who told her that they were going to change it, "like (name), the treatment nurse, or support nurses." Licensed Staff A was asked who had changed the wound V.A.C. on 01/02/17 or 12/28/16, the two days she had initialed the wound V.A.C. change and treatment as being done. Licensed Staff A stated she was "not sure." Licensed Staff A stated "someone told me they would (change the wound V.A.C. and do the treatment) and I signed it. I'm not doing it any longer because I don't know if it gets done unless I put my hands on it or see it." Licensed Staff A stated she had learned her "lesson". Licensed Staff A confirmed there was no nursing progress note written on 01/02/17. During an interview on 03/09/17 at 2:35 p.m., Management Staff B stated the facility did not have a policy regarding the wound V.A.C.
