meeting, V31 had asked for the camera and V6 immediately said no, and then said, Well it would have to be
drilled in. V31 said, The Ombudsman asked how long that would take and what the policy said, and (V6)
indicated they would get (V31) the policies by December 6, 2024, which did not happen.

As a result of this failure, R7 developed a Stage 3 pressure ulcer.
This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R7) reviewed for pressure ulcers in a sample of 10.
The findings include:
The EMR (Electronic Medical Record) shows R7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of
hemiplegia and hemiparesis, bacteremia, dependence on respiratory status, hypertension, gastrostomy
status, and tracheostomy status.
R7's POS (Physician Order Sheet), dated December 24, 2024, showed an order for Daily skin check if
moderate risk to high risk based on Braden scale- perform daily skin check if any skin issues are identified
please complete the skin assessment form, every night shift for prevention, which was ordered on October
24, 2024. The POS also showed orders dated November 1, 2024 for Weekly skin check, complete weekly
skin check in assessment one time a day every [Thursday] assessment and Weekly skin check, complete
weekly skin check in assessment one time a day every [Tuesday].
R7's care plan, dated September 13, 2024, showed R7 has potential for impairment to skin integrity
(related to) immobility and (respiratory) failure/hypoxia with a goal to maintain clean and intact skin by the
review date.
R7's admission Assessment, dated September 11, 2024, showed R7 was at moderate risk for skin
breakdown. R7 had no skin breakdown on his coccyx or buttocks upon admission.
R7's readmission Assessment, dated October 24, 2024, showed R7 was at a very high risk for skin
breakdown. R7's assessment did not show any skin breakdown on his coccyx or buttocks.

concerns the wound team was seeing him for. At 11:47 AM, V22 did a skin observation. R7's incontinence
brief was removed, and R7's skin on his buttocks had several areas of open, broken, and bloody skin. V22
said R7 did not have any skin issues before. V22 said the area needed to be treated, as it was a Stage 3
pressure ulcer and was draining a moderate amount of serosanguineous drainage. R7's buttocks did not
have any dressings in place.
On December 24, 2024 at 11:55 AM, V21 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) said she had provided
incontinence care for him earlier that morning, and she had not noticed anything when she was changing
him, but was changing him very quickly. V21 said R7 did not have a dressing on the buttocks when she had
previously cleaned him up. V21 said she should have told the nurse so they could put a dressing or apply a
cream. V21 said the previous shifts had not reported any concerns about R7's skin.
On December 24, 2024 at 12:23 PM, V25 (CNA) said she helped V21 provide incontinence care for R7 and
had not noticed any issues with his skin. V25 said she was not the one wiping his perianal area. V25 said
she had worked with R7 in the past week and had not seen any broken skin.
