F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor a resident's skin for breakdown. This failure resulted in a pressure injury not being identified until it was a stage 3, which delayed treatment, and the wound became infected. The facility also failed to implement pressure ulcer care plan interventions. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R108) reviewed for pressure injury in a sample of 32. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 03/18/2025, observations made at 10:18 AM, 11:01 AM, 12:17 PM, 1:04 PM, and 2:35 PM, showed R108 was visible from his doorway and was lying in bed on his back on a regular mattress. R108 appeared frail and lethargic. The sign on R108's door showed he was on contact and droplet isolation precautions. R108's 3/17/2025 antibiotic care plan showed he was on the antibiotic because of a MRSA (multi-drug resistant organism)/Strep A infection in his wound. On 03/19/2025, observations made at 10:02 AM, 10:58 AM, 12:53 PM, and 2:06 PM again showed R108 lying on his back on a regular mattress. R108's 3/12/2025 Weekly Skin Assessment Tool (effective 10:54 PM) showed R108 had no skin concerns and no new skin issues were noted. R108's 3/17/2025 Wound Assessment Detail report showed his sacral pressure ulcer was a facility-acquired stage 3 pressure ulcer, and it had been identified on 3/13/2025 as a stage 3. The report showed the wound presented with 30% white fibrinous slough, and it measured (in centimeters) 1.5 x 0.5 x 0.1 cm (for length x width x depth). The report showed R108's Braden scale showed he was only at mild risk for skin breakdown. On 3/19/2025 at 3:20 PM, V6 LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse, Wound Care Nurse) measured R108's pressure ulcer. The wound measurements showed the size of R108's sacral ulcer had deteriorated to 1.8 x 0.9 with an unknown depth due to slough. On 3/18/2025 at 2:00 PM, V6 (LPN- Wound Care Nurse) was asked why R108 was on a regular mattress and why he had not been turned or why pressure had not been offloaded from his wound site. V6 stated R108 did not have a stage 3 pressure ulcer and instead it was a stage 2 pressure ulcer, and a low air-loss mattress was not required. V6 stated positions should be changed as frequently as possible or at least every two hours, and pressure areas should be offloaded. On 03/21/2025 at 9:28 AM, V15 (Nurse Practitioner- Wound Care) said his expectations of the facility are to implement all preventative measures to prevent acquired pressure injuries. V15 stated he recommended using an air-loss mattress, even if a pressure injury is stage 2, shifting weight as frequently as possible but at least every two hours, and offloading pressure areas to prevent facility-acquired pressure injuries. V15 stated regular skin inspections help to identify skin problems earlier in their development. On 03/18/2025 at 2:30 PM, V21 (Certified Nursing Assistant) said they should reposition residents at least every two hours and offload the pressure.
