**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a residents bed was maintained to ensure no
hazards were present for one of three residents (R1) reviewed for injury in the sample of three. This failure
resulted in R1 experiencing a large skin tear from exposed sharp metal on the bed, requiring R1 being sent
to the local hospital and requiring 12 sutures to the wound.Findings include:R1's Face Sheet dated October
14, 2025, shows R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis of senile degeneration of the
brain. R1's Care Plan initiated September 1, 2025, shows R1 has an activity of daily living self-care
performance deficit related to dementia and anxiety disorder. The facility's State Report dated October 8,
2025, shows on October 7, 2025, a certified nursing assistant (CNA) was transferring R1 from her
wheelchair to her bed with a one-person assist per her care-plan. After R1 sat on the edge of the bed, the
CNA observed fresh blood on the floor and noted that R1 had a laceration on her right lateral leg. The
wound care nurse (WCN) assessed the area and applied pressure to control the bleeding. Once the
bleeding was controlled, further assessment revealed that sutures might be required to close the wound.
Orders were obtained for evaluation and treatment in the emergency room. Investigation determined that
the laceration occurred when R1 rubbed her leg again an exposed area of the bed frame during transfer. It
was identified that a round cap was missing from the bed frame.R1's Skin and Wound Evaluation dated
August 31, 2025, shows R1 had a laceration to her right lateral calf that measured 4.7 cm (centimeters)
long, 2.0 cm wide, and a depth of 0.4 cm. R1's laceration was draining a moderate amount of bloody
drainage.R1's local hospital record dated October 7, 2025, shows R1 was seen in the local emergency
room for a laceration received during a bed transfer. R1's wound was sutured and cleaned, however due to
significant leg swelling and lymphedema, fluid was noted to be oozing from the wound. R1 was given a
dose of intravenous antibiotic and topical antibiotic. On October 14, 2025, at 10:43 AM, V4 Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) said she was on break in her car when the certified nursing assistant (CNA) called
her. V4 said that when she got into R1's room, V3 Wound Care Nurse (WCN) was already in there. V4 said
she did not know what happened, but it happened during the transfer. V4 said the laceration was big and
deep, so R1 got sent out to the local emergency room. At 11:07 AM, V6 CNA said she took R1 to the
bathroom then transferred R1 back into bed. V6 said when R1 was sitting on the side of the bed, she
noticed that R1's leg was bleeding. V6 said R1's nurse was on break, so she called V3 WCN to come and
assess R1's leg. V6 said R1's leg was bleeding a lot. V6 said there was blood on the floor. At 12:27 PM, V3
WCN said she was the first nurse that assessed R1. V3 said there was blood on the floor and R1 was
sitting on the edge of the bed. V3 said R1 shifted her leg and exposed the metal on the bed frame. V3 said
there was a moderate amount of bleeding to R1's leg. V3 put a dressing onto R1's leg. V3 said R1's wound
was too deep to take care of at the facility, so she sent R1 to the local emergency room. V3 said R1
