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 prevent, identify, report and treat a new
pressure ulcer wound for one resident (R1) who assessed at risk for developing pressure ulcers in the
sample of 3 residents reviewed for pressure ulcer prevention. Findings include:On 12/5/2025 at 10:14 AM,
R1 observed in bed with a gown, covered with a blanket. R1 stated that R1 prefers to stay in bed and does
not like to be up in R1's wheelchair. R1 stated that R1 does have a bed sore on (R1's) butt, and R1 needs
help to from staff to change R1's incontinence brief and turn in bed. R1 agreed to this surveyor's request for
a skin check. On 12/5/2025 at 10:34 AM, V5 (Certified Nursing Assistant, CNA) is in R1's room and
confirmed that V5 is the CNA for R1. V5 pulls back the blanket and unfastens R1's incontinence brief. V5
crosses R1's legs and log rolls R1 to the left side as R1's reaching over with upper body to hold onto the
bed siderail. V5 pulled back the incontinence brief from R1's buttocks showing white barrier cream on R1's
sacrum and perineum. This surveyor observed an open skin area on the sacrum, approximately 2 by 2
inches, with epidermis (top skin layer) opened with the red wound base visibly noted. V5 stated that there is
no dressing on it, and V5, as the CNA, just puts the white barrier cream over R1's open sacral wound after
V5 cleans R1. On 12/5/2025 at 10:43 AM, this surveyor stepped out of R1's room into the hallway, and V8
(Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) was present. When asked if R1 has an identified wound or is being seen
by the wound care team, R1 stated no. On 12/5/2025 at 10:45 AM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing,
ADON) is observed on R1's floor. When asked if R1 has a pressure ulcer wound or is being seen by the
wound care team, V3 stated that V3 doesn't believe that R1 has a wound and will check V3's laptop to
confirm. This surveyor and V3 go to nurses' station where V3 looks in the electronic health record (EHR) for
R1, and V3 states that R1 has no skin openings and is receiving barrier cream for prevention of
wounds.R1's admission Record documents, in part, diagnoses of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following
cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, heart failure, history of falling, sciatica, fibromyalgia,
hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, sleep apnea, visual disturbance, weakness, conversion disorder with
seizures or convulsions, pain, and long-term use of aspirin.R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE],
documents, in part, a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 which indicates that R1 has
moderate cognitive impairment. R1's Behavior is assessed with no rejection of care or other behaviors. R1's
Functional Abilities for bed mobility (rolling left and right) is assessed substantial/maximal assistance where
the staff perform more than half of the effort in rolling R1 from side to side in bed. R1's Skin Conditions are
assessed with R1 at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries, and R1 has zero (0) unhealed pressure
ulcers/injuries, venous and arterial ulcers or other ulcers, wounds or skin problems. On 12/5/2025 at 2:34
PM, V5 (CNA) stated that V5 works different floors in the facility but, when V5 works on R1's floor, R1 is
V5's regularly assigned resident. V5 stated that R1 is alert, oriented and does not have bouts of confusion.
V5 stated that R1 is a one person assist for bed mobility and a

two-person, mechanical transfer lift out of bed. V5 stated that V5 assesses R1's skin whenever V5 is
performing incontinence care or bathing of R1. V5 stated that if V5 sees a new skin opening on a resident,
V5 must report it right away to the nurse. This surveyor asked V5 that with the observation of this surveyor
and V5 viewing R1's sacral pressure ulcer wound with barrier cream on it (on 12/5/2025 at 10:34 AM), was
this the first time that V5 had seen R1's sacral wound, and V5 stated no. V5 stated that V5 saw R1's open
sacral wound yesterday (12/4/2025) with the white barrier cream on it and reported it to the nurse. V5
stated that V5 forgot the name of the nurse, but R1's sacral skin was open and there was white cream over
it on 12/4/2025. V5 reiterated again that V5 could not recall who the nurse was that V5 reported R1's sacral
wound to on 12/4/2025. This surveyor informed V5 that surveyor will identify the nurse working with R1 on
12/4/2025 and speak with the nurse about V5 reporting R1's sacral pressure ulcer wound. V5 then stated
that V5 did not report it to the nurse and V5 doesn't want to be lying. V5 stated that when V5 saw R1's
sacral open wound on 12/4/2025 with barrier cream on it, V5 stated, I (V5) assumed that someone had
reported it to the nurse, and V5 did not report R1's sacral skin opening. On 12/5/2025 at 2:27 PM, V8 (LPN)
stated that V8 works different floors in the facility but, when V8 works on R1's floor, R1 is V5's regularly
assigned resident. V8 stated that skin assessments are done weekly by the nurse, and they are done daily
by the CNA during incontinence care and bathing care. V8 stated that if a CNA finds anything abnormal
with the resident's skin, the CNA must report it right away to the nurse. V8 stated it could be a red spot on
the skin, skin turgor being poor or any opening in the skin. V8 stated that the importance of the direct care
staff (CNAs) reporting it to the nurse is so the nurse can follow up immediately before it gets worse. V8
stated that the nurse will contact the wound care team and the doctor so they will start treatment as
ordered. V8 stated that the staff does not want the skin opening to advance any further if untreated. V8
stated that general precautions to prevent pressure ulcer wounds from forming are to turning and offloading
so pressure is relieved on the body from being in one position for too long. When asked prior to today,
12/5/2025, had it been reported to V8 that R1 had a sacral pressure ulcer, V8 stated yes but that V8 can't
remember the date or exactly what was said. V8 stated that if there is a new skin change, like an open
pressure ulcer wound, reported to V8, V8 would document it in the resident's HER. This surveyor informed
V8 that upon review of R1's progress notes and skin assessments prior to 12/5/2025, there is no
documentation that R1 had a new skin opening. V8 then stated that V8 is really not sure yes or no if it was
reported to V8 about R1's sacral pressure ulcer and that V8 just can't remember.On 12/5/2025 at 11:55
AM, V14 (LPN, Wound Care Nurse) stated that V14 was made aware today, 12/5/2025, of R1's open area
to the sacrum and went and assessed R1. V14 stated that the sacral wound measured 4.8 centimeters
(cm) in length, 3.8 cm in width, and 0.1 cm in depth with slight serosanguineous drainage, and is a stage 2
pressure ulcer. V14 stated that V14 notified R1's doctor who ordered for a cleansing with normal saline and
a foam dressing with a daily and whenever needed change. V14 stated that the dry foam dressing will allow
for urine or stool not to contaminate the wound.On 12/5/2025 at 3:18 PM, V15 (Wound Care Coordinator)
stated that for when a new skin alteration is noted on a resident, the floor nurse is notified, and the floor
nurse will then notify V15. V15 stated that V15 (or other wound care nurse, V14) will do a head to toe skin
check. V15 stated that skin alterations can be breaks in the skin, rashes, or anything that looks abnormal or
the resident did not have previously. V15 stated that the nurse will call the doctor to see what treatment
needs to be in place. V15 stated that it's important to start this process immediately so there is not
worsening skin problem want to skin intact not get any worse. V15 stated that CNAs are constantly looking
at skin and must notify the floor nurse if there are changes in a resident's

skin. V15 stated that R1's sacral pressure wound was not reported to V15 prior to 12/5/2025.On 12/5/2025
at 3:27 PM, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing, ADON) stated that V2 (Director of Nursing) is currently on
vacation and that V3 is responsible for the nursing department and staff. V3 stated that the importance of a
CNA directly informing the floor nurse when a new skin opening is noted on a resident, like R1's sacral
wound, is that it's extremely important because (skin) breakdown happens so fast. It's effective
communication V3 stated that when a new skin opening is reported to the floor nurse, the floor nurse will
notify the wound care coordinator (V15) who will perform a full head to toe assessment. V3 stated that the
nurse will notify the doctor of the findings and receive treatment orders to be rendered. V3 stated that every
day, CNAs are looking at residents' skin during activities of daily living care and bathing care and are a
crucial component to identifying changes in a resident's skin condition. V3 stated that a foam dressing
treatment order for a sacral pressure ulcer can protect the wound as it heals and help with pain as well. V3
stated that urine and feces can irritate or burn an open sacral pressure ulcer wound and also prevents
sheering of the sacral skin. R1's WASA (Wound Area Severity Assessment) Form, effective 12/5/2025 at
11:36 am (after this surveyor's observation on 12/5/2025 of R1's sacral pressure ulcer), V14 (LPN, Wound
