the status of R1's right leg wound/treatment.On 11/23/25 at 10:27 AM, R1 stated that a wound doctor
checked her right leg wound in September and put a dressing. R1 said that her right leg wound treatment
was supposed to be done daily, but on 9/23/25, it was not done. R1 said, I don't know what happened that
day, but it was not changed. I did not go out that day or refuse the wound care treatment. [V15 (Licensed
Practical Nurse/LPN)] does my wound dressing. [V15] does it when she's here. [V15] was my nurse, but I
don't know what happened that day. [V15] was probably got caught with something. I told [V10 (LPN) that it
was not changed in the morning, but he did not do it. [V10] was the second shift nurse. R1's right leg was
noted wrapped with dressing. R1 refused for the dressing to be removed.On 11/23/25 at 1:29 PM, V15
(Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, that the nurses are doing the residents' wound treatments. V15 said,
After I finish passing meds then I do my treatment. I follow the doctor's order. If the treatment is ordered
once a day in the morning, the treatment should be done in the morning shift. From 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
After I do the treatment, I sign the TAR that it's done. If I don't sign the TAR, it means I did not do it. I make
sure I sign it off before I leave for the day at the end of my shift. [R1] prefers to do the wound treatment in
the hospital. I can't remember what really happened in September.On 11/23/25 at 1:45 PM, a phone
interview was conducted with V10 (Licensed Practical Nurse) and stated, I do wound treatments if it's
assigned to me. I haven't done any wound

treatment for [R1] because the treatment order is not assigned to me. I don't remember it being assigned
maybe it was done the day before. I don't remember her [R1] asking me to do the wound treatment.On
11/23/25 at 12:10 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the nurses are doing the residents' wound care
treatments and V11 comes weekly to monitor the wounds and see if the treatments are appropriate. V2 said
that the nurses change the dressing, they document that the dressing is changed and what they assess on
the wound. In progress notes they will document. V2 said if the dressing is done, it should be documented
in the TAR. It should be signed off. In the TAR it should be signed that it's done. V2 said if the resident
refuses, it should also be documented in the progress notes. V2 said that if it's not signed off in the TAR it
means, it's not done; and the documentation should also be part of the progress notes.On 11/23/25 at 1:52
PM, a phone interview was conducted with V11 (Wound Care Nurse Practitioner). V11 stated, I cannot
really tell if [R1's] wound is getting worse. I don't have my notes with me. If there is a change in
measurement and if it's getting bigger then I would say it's getting worse. I do my initial assessment and I
do weekly follow up if I'm consulted. If I have a treatment recommendation I would include it in my wound
notes. I talk to the nurse and I will send the process notes to the [V2] to make sure my recommendations
are carried out. It's important that my wound treatment recommendations are followed because if it's not
followed the wound will get worsen. The wound treatment order for [R1] is daily dressing so that the nurses
can check and see the status of her wound. They can inform me if there is a change in the wound. If they
don't follow the order, it can make the wound worse. It should be done everyday and when it's soaked it's
done as needed.The facility's PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF PRESSURE INJURY AND OTHER
SKIN ALTERATIONS policy and procedure dated 3/2/21 documents in part: Implement preventative
measures and appropriate treatment modalities for pressure injuries and/or skin alterations through
individualized resident care plan. At least daily, staff should remain alert for potential changes in the skin
condition during resident care.The facility's Staff Nurse (Registered Nurse/License Practical Nurse) Job
Description documents in part: Prepare and administer medications and treatments if appropriate as
ordered by the physician.
