**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide specialized mattress for a resident
with worsening acquired pressure injury wound in accordance with wound care practitioner
recommendation and their policy.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R54) reviewed for pressure injury wounds in the sample of 27.
The findings include:
R54's medical record showed R54 admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including
hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, presence of malignant neoplasm of the breast,
presence of cardiac pacemaker, osteoarthritis of the hip, and bilateral nuclear cataract and open angle
glaucoma.
R54's MDS (Minimum Date Set) dated October 10, 2024, showed R54 was moderately cognitively
impaired, and required assistance with ADL (activities of daily living) care including set up assistance with
eating and oral hygiene, partial assistance with upper body dressing, personal hygiene and rolling right and
left in bed, and substantial assistance with bed mobility, transfer, lower body dressing, toileting and bathing.
R54's Braden risk assessment dated [DATE], showed R54 was at high risk for developing a pressure injury
wound.
R54's wound care progress note dated November 19, 2024, showed R54 had developed a pressure injury
to the bilateral glute (upper buttock), assessed to be a stage 2 and measured 1.5 cm (centimeter) X 1.1 cm
X 1 cm, with a surface area of 1.65 square cm. The wound base contained 10% epithelial tissue, and 90%
granulation tissue.
On January 8, 2025, at 10:03 AM, wound dressing change was observed on R54. V20 LPN (Licensed
Practical Nurse/ wound care nurse) and V21 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) repositioned R54 to her left
side on the bed and V20 changed the dressing to the bilateral glute. V20 described the mattress in use for
R54 as a two-tone pressure redistribution mattress. V20 stated R54 needs more help repositioning now
because she is weaker and could use a low air loss mattress. R54's wound bed contained slough and V20
validated the wound had progressed to a stage 3.
R54's most recent wound care progress note dated January 2, 2025, showed R54's bilateral glute wound
measured 1.3 cm X 1.1 cm X 0.01 cm with calculated surface area of 1.43 cm and was assessed to be a
stage 3 pressure injury wound. The wound care progress note of January 2, 2024, also showed R54 would
benefit from an alternating air/low air loss mattress for pressure redistribution.
The facility's policy titled Skin Regimen and Treatment Formulary dated January 24, 2024, showed
.Procedures .9. Residents with Stage III and/or IV pressure injuries will be placed in specialized air
mattresses like Low Air Loss mattress with an incontinence brief only .

Diabetes, Dementia, and Personal History of Transient Ischemic Attack. R41's MDS dated [DATE] showed
R41 to be cognitively impaired and that R41 required substantial/maximal assistance for upper body
dressing.
R41's physician order summary dated September 26, 2024 showed the following: Apply rolled gauze to
right hand contracture. There was no mention of the left hand contracture.
On January 6, 2025 at 10:17 AM, R41's left hand appeared contracted and closed. R41 was not holding
anything in her left hand.
On January 6, 2025 at 12:26 PM, R41 was not holding anything in her right or left hands. R41's left hand
appeared contracted and closed. V19 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated R41 needs a towel in her left hand.
On January 7, 2025 at 2:35 AM, R41 was not holding anything in her left hand.
On January 7, 2025 at 3:39 PM, R41 did not have anything in her left hand that appeared contracted. When
surveyor asked R41 if anyone put a towel or anything in her left hand in the last couple days, R41 shook
her head left to right, no. When R41 was asked how long has it been since she had placed anything in her
left hand, R41 shrugged her shoulders. When asked has it been a while since she has had anything in her
hand, R41 shook her head up and down, yes. V18 stated that R41 should have rolled gauze in her left
hand. V18 tried to open R41's left contracted hand and R41 screamed in pain.

apply Roll wash cloth to bilateral hand. Then was changed and read: Nursing Restorative Program as
indicated, Apply Rolled gauze to left hand after AM ADL care and remove during meal and bedtime.
On January 9, 2025 at 9:15 AM, V18 stated that R17 and R41's orders for rolled gauze to be placed in their
contracted hands is a treatment to soften or loosen the contractures. V18 stated that having the gauze in
the hand is also a more comfortable position for the resident's hands, and it helps to prevent worsening of
the contractures.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure accurate and timely
accounting of controlled medications and failed to ensure that blister packs containing controlled
medications are maintained intact to ensure safe and effective use of the medications.
This applies to 5 of 5 residents (R23, R49, R52, R81 and R103) reviewed for controlled medications in the
sample of 27.
The findings include:
1. On January 7, 2025 at 10:44 AM with V13 (Assistant Director of Nursing), the Restorative Hall
medication cart shift change accountability record for controlled substances showed that the first shift on
and off nurses' initials for January 7, 2025 were not documented by both the in-coming and out-going shift
nurses to ensure that all controlled medications were accounted at the start of the shift. Inside the
controlled medication compartment, multiple controlled medications were observed including:
- R49's blister pack of Pregabalin 25 mg (milligram), dispensed by the pharmacy on January 2, 2025
originally containing 30 tablets. The said blister pack of Pregabalin 25 mg had 28 tablets remaining that
were intact and sealed (from #1 through #28). Review of R49's controlled drug administration record form
for the Pregabalin 25 mg showed that there should be 29 tablets remaining in the blister pack. V14
(Registered Nurse) stated that she (in-coming nurse) and the evening out-going nurse completed the
shift-to-shift narcotics/controlled substance count that morning and acknowledged that they did not sign the
shift change accountability record for controlled substances for January 7, 2025. V14 stated that there was
one missing Pregabalin tablet because she did not sign out on R49's controlled drug administration record
form when she gave the resident's medication that morning during the medication pass.
- R49's blister pack of Hydrocodone-APAP (Acetaminophen) 5-325 mg, dispensed by the pharmacy on
June 4, 2024 originally containing 30 tablets. The said blister pack of Hydrocodone-APAP 5-325 mg had 30
tablets remaining that were intact and sealed (from #1 through #7, from #9 through #15, from #17 through
#22 and from #24 through #30), while there were 3 additional tablets with broken seal at the back (#8, #16
and #23). V13 stated that the blister pack seal of any controlled medication should be kept intact to ensure
its integrity and if the seal is broken the controlled medication should be wasted and witnessed by another
nurse.
2. On January 7, 2025 at 11:10 AM with V13 the 500 Hall medication cart was observed with multiple
controlled medications including:
- R52's blister pack of Tramadol 50 mg, dispensed by the pharmacy on December 19, 2024 originally
containing 30 tablets. The said blister pack of Tramadol 50 mg had 27 tablets remaining that were intact and
sealed (from #1 through #27). Review of R52's controlled drug administration record form for the Tramadol
50 mg showed that there should be 28 tablets remaining in the blister pack. V15 (Registered Nurse) stated
that there was one missing Tramadol tablet because she did not sign out on R52's controlled drug
administration record form when she gave the resident's medication that morning at around 9:00 AM.
Review of R52's medication administration audit report showed that the resident received Tramadol 50 mg
on January 7, 2025 at 9:00 AM, administered by V15.

gave one (1) tablet of Lorazepam 0.5 mg to R23 at around 9:20 AM that morning during the medication
pass but cannot explain why there were still 30 tablets remaining in the blister pack. Review R23's
medication administration audit report showed that the resident did not receive her Lorazepam 0.5 mg on
January 7, 2025 during V15's shift.
3. On January 7, 2025 at 11:40 AM with V13, the 300 Hall medication cart was observed with multiple
controlled medications, including R81's blister pack of Alprazolam 0.5 mg, dispensed by the pharmacy on

(8) tablets remaining that were intact and sealed (from #1 through #5, #7 and from #9 through #10), while
there were two (2) additional tablets with broken seal at the back (#6 and #8).
On January 7, 2025 at 5:06 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the nurse should immediately sign the
controlled drug administration record form after the controlled medication was taken out of the blister pack
or container to properly account the medication and to prevent discrepancies. V2 stated that the seal of the
controlled medication blister packs should not be broken to ensure medication integrity. According to V2, if
the controlled medication's seal has been broken it should be discarded/wasted and signed out by 2 nurses
to prevent potential diversion of medication. During the same interview V2 stated that the incoming and the
outgoing nurses should sign or initial the shift change accountability record for controlled substances to
ensure that the narcotics/controlled substances are all accounted and documented.
The facility's policy regarding Controlled Medications Count last reviewed and revised by the facility on July
26, 2024 showed, It is the policy of the facility to maintain an accurate count of Scheduled II controlled
medications. The same policy under procedure showed in-part, 1. After removing the controlled medication
from the bingo card or individual packet, the nurse will sign off the accompanying medication sheet
indicating the medication is taken. 2. After administration of the controlled medication, the nurse will sign off
the eMAR (electronic Medication Administration Record). 3. If the controlled medication needs to be
wasted, another nurse should witness the wasting of the controlled medication.
