F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to identify a pressure wound prior to becoming a stage 3 for a resident at risk for pressure ulcers (R1) and failed to ensure pressure relieving interventions were implemented for 2 of 3 residents (R1, R4) reviewed for pressure ulcers in the sample of 7.The findings include:1. R1's face sheet showed she was admitted to the facility 1/30/23 with diagnoses to include hemiplegia and hemiparesis, arthritis, secondary gout, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism, stage 3 chronic kidney disease, depressive episodes, Parkinson's disease, and pressure ulcer of left buttock. R1's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed she had severe cognitive deficits, was dependent on staff for most cares, and was at risk for developing pressure ulcers. Residents Affected - Few R1's 1/15/26 Weekly Wound Evaluation showed, . Sacrum. Pressure Injury (In-House Acquired) . Stage 3. Length: 5 cm. Width: 1.5 cm. Depth: UTD (unable to determine) . R1's care plan initiated 7/31/24 showed, [R1] has the potential and actual impairment to skin integrity of the sacrum related to fragile skin, incontinence; Pressure area to sacrum (1/15/26) . R1's care plan initiated 2/15/23 showed, [R1] is at risk for skin breakdown related to hemiplegia/hemiparesis, impaired mobility. Assess for and provide appropriate pressure relieving devices. Assess for changes in skin condition each shift. On 2/22/26 at 9:35 AM, R1 was lying in her bed. R1's tan inflatable heel protector boots were observed to be under the edge of the dresser nearby R1's bed. R1's heels were lying directly on R1's air mattress. On 2/22/26 at 12:54 PM, R1 was receiving wound care by V6 (Wound Care Nurse). V8 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) was assisting V6 to position R1. R1 was lying in bed during care, she was observed to be wearing blue heel protector boots on both feet. V6 said R1 does not have any wounds on her heels. V6 said there is no order for R1 to wear heel protector boots, but she feels R1 should wear heel protector boots due to her condition and that is the reason the boots are in place. The tan heel protector boots were no longer under the dresser. V6 said she brought R1 new heel protector boots because her old ones were dirty. On 2/22/26 at 1:24 PM, V12 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse/Treatment Nurse) said R1's sacral wound was identified when a CNA was getting R1 up for the day and told me she had a wound on her bottom. V12 said it is her understanding that the nurses should be documenting a weekly skin check. The reason to do weekly assessments is to make sure people aren't developing wounds and do to add more preventative measures. We would want to know about the wound right away so if the staff see breakdown happening, we will want to address it rapidly. V12 said she doesn't believe R1 wears heel protectors.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 2/22/26 at 2:57, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) said, . I would prefer the wounds be identified as soon as possible to prevent them from getting worse. I would expect her to have the low air loss mattress, heel protector boots. If she is bed bound, I don't think it would hurt her to wear hell protectors or have her heels floated.

Procedure: Positioning pillows and/or specialty devices may be used between two skin surfaces or to slightly elevate bony prominences/pressure areas off of the mattress. Offloading must be provided as indicated to provide pressure relief. Heels Up or specialty ordered therapeutic boots may be used to protect heels on those residents identified as being high risk for potential skin breakdown.

On 2/22/26 at 11:13 AM, V6 (Wound Care Nurse) was at R4's bedside providing wound care to an unstageable wound to his coccyx. R4 was on an air mattress that was set to firm. R4 had a pressure relief cushion in his wheelchair that was flattened and torn with the foam inside coming out. V6 confirmed the cushion was worn and stated she would replace it. V6 stated the cushion was for pressure relief. V6 was asked to check R4's mattress and she stated it was set too high; it was set on firm and should be set to his weight.
