Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to prevent, identify, assess, monitor, implement
progressive interventions, and to handle soiled pressure ulcer dressings appropriately to prevent pressure
ulcers and encourage healing for 2 of 3 residents (R2, R3) reviewed for pressure ulcers in the sample of 6.
This failure resulted in R2 going for 9 days without a treatment in place for a left heel pressure ulcer and R3
having one pressure ulcer on the left medial foot that was unknown by staff, one pressure ulcer on the left
great toe that did not receive treatment or a full assessment for 9 days and R3 developing osteomyelitis
requiring Intravenous Antibiotics.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. On 9/3/24 at 8:41 AM, V7, Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA) and V8 CNA are in R3's room in the middle of
cleaning her up. R3 is lying on her left side. R3 has a visible sacrum pressure ulcer approximately 4 inches
(in) by (x) 3 in x 2.5 in deep. The old dressing has yellow brown drainage on it. The dressing is on the bed
near R3's mid back. The dressing is dated 9/3/24. The pressure ulcer has packing that has come out of the
pressure ulcer that is lying on the bed. V8 removed all of the dressing packing, crumpled into her gloved
hand, placed it back into the pressure ulcer wound bed, and reapplied the old dressing. R3 did not have
pressure relieving boots on her feet.
On 9/3/24 at 8:49 AM, V7 and V8 were questioned how long R3 has had the pressure ulcer, V7 stated, She
has had it for a while. It requires multiple changes a day because it drains so much.
On 9/3/24 at 9:27 AM, V4, Wound Nurse, stated, I helped for 4 weeks (as wound nurse) and then I asked to
step down. This morning, I have accepted to take on the role again. I have not seen the wound recently. She
has been seen by Infectious Disease (ID) and Plastics for debridement. The last time I saw it, it was full of
slough, so it was hard to tell how deep it was. V4 removed the old dressing and packing, cleansed the
wound bed with wound cleanser, packed the wound bed with gauze soaked in normal saline, and covered it
with an abdominal pad. The periwound has an extended area around the wound bed that is light red with
splotchy darker red areas. V4 stated, I think that (reddened periwound) was caused by the previous
dressing we were using. The wound bed is light red with a minimal amount of slough. V4 was questioned if
she thought the pressure ulcer was approximately 4 in (10.16 centimeters (cm)) x 3 in. (7.62 cm) x 2.5 in.
(6.35 cm), V4 agreed to the approximate size.
On 9/3/24 at 9:45 AM, V4, stated, (V8) should have not removed the packing or put the old dressing back
on.
On 9/3/24 at 1:31 PM, V2, Interim Director of Nurses, was questioned if she could go to R3's room so R3's
feet could be observed. R3 was lying on her right side, there is a pillow between her knees,

her right lateral foot and left medial foot are lying directly on the mattress. R3's left Great toe on the medial
side has a necrotic pressure ulcer approximately 1 cm by 0.5 cm and the left medial foot below the toe has
a necrotic pressure ulcer approximately 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm. The 2 pressure ulcers did not have any dressings
on them. R3 was not wearing any pressure relieving boots on her feet.
Residents Affected - Few
On 9/3/24 at 3:10 PM, V7, CNA, was questioned how long R3 had pressure ulcers on her left foot, V7
stated, It's been a while. I lose track of my days, but she has had them for a while. They come and go. V7
pointed out that the right foot has red blotches on them, V7 stated, They get worse the more contracted she
becomes.
On 9/3/24 at 3:29 PM, V3, Licensed Practical Nurse / Minimum Data Set Nurse (LPN/MDS), stated, (R3's)
pressure ulcer started out on the left ischial tuberosity. It was almost healed. I was off for the weekend and
when I came back it had opened back up and had gotten progressively worse. It started out small and
turned into a larger area and that is when we started calling it a sacrum wound. I believe the wound doctor
was seeing her the entire time. We had a team of nurses come from (a sister facility) and do a house wide
sweep of resident's skin on 8/14/24. I was given a list of residents that had pressure ulcers that were not
identified previously. She was on that list with a pressure ulcer on her left foot. I was not in charge of
pressure ulcers at the time (V4) was. I was told just to enter the information into her chart and did not follow
up. On 8/16/24 I got an email telling me that (V4) had stepped down from the position of wound nurse. On
8/19/24, I was told that I was put back in charge of wounds. I just never followed up on her foot pressure
ulcer. V3 further stated that R3 did see ID (Infectious Disease) doctor last Tuesday (8/27/24) for her
pressure ulcer and then she went to Plastics for a debridement the same day.
On 9/5/24 at 2:00 PM, V2 and V11 Director of Clinical Operations both stated that all wounds should be
charted on and measured when they are found and both R2 and R3 should have pressure relieving devices
on their feet. V11 stated that CNAs should not be doing any treatment to the pressure ulcers. They should
only let the nurse know that a dressing is off, or it needs to be replaced.

unresponsive with fevers. The medical term for this is: Sepsis, osteomyelitis.
On 9/16/24 at 12:30 PM, V2, was questioned as to why the observation of R3's sacrum pressure ulcer size
on 9/3/24 was so different than the measurements documented on the Wound Evaluation of 9/4/24, V2
stated our pressure ulcer documentation is that the nurse will put a sticker near the ulcer and then take a
picture. The system then does all the measurements, so the nurses do not do any measuring it is all
calculated in the computer system. V2 further stated that every pressure ulcer should be measured and
described when found and then again weekly.
On 9/17/24 at 11:55 AM, V4, Wound Nurse, was questioned why R3 did not have an assessment for her left
medial foot pressure ulcer, V4 stated that she did not realize that she did not and that she would put one in.
V4 stated that the left medial foot pressure ulcers should have been identified and treated sooner. V4 stated
that R3 should have had pressure reducing foot boots on. V4 also stated that she is still learning the
computer system for wounds and how to get the camera to take good measurements. V4 did agree that
what you see is not what is being charted because of the computer system. V4 was questioned about R3's
sacral pressure ulcer and it's decline, V4 stated that she believes she has so many bodily fluids that would
contaminate the dressing and the wound and R3 was just not cleaned up timely or the dressing changed
timely, and the infection set in, and the pressure ulcer deteriorated.

once a week until healed. Assessment is to include: a. Characteristics: (i.e. (for example)) size, depth, color,
drainage) b. presence of granulation tissue, necrotic tissue. c. Treatment and response to treatment. d.
