R2's Treatment Administration Record dated 3/6/25 does not document a nurse's initials on 3/5/25, to
indicate R2's Pressure Ulcer treatments were completed.
On 3/6/25 at 2:20 pm an Enhanced Barrier Precaution/Contact Isolation See Nurse sign was on R2's door.
Personal Protective Equipment supplies and hand sanitizer were present in the door caddy. V4, Wound LPN
set-up a clean, draped field with R2's wound dressing supplies on a bedside table and placed it next to R2's
bed. V4 used hand sanitizer and donned gloves and a gown and entered R2's room to complete R2's
Pressure Ulcer Dressing changes. R2 was able to position himself using the left bedside rail to a partial left
side side lying position. R2's Right Trochanter (hip region) was clearly visible. R2 had a heavily saturated
bordered gauze dressing that was seeping beige drainage from the distal aspect of the right Trochanter
Stage III Pressure ulcer wound dressing. R2's dressing was dated 3/4/25 and had V4's initials. V4 stated I
guess nobody changed his dressings yesterday. I did it Tuesday (3/4/25) when I did rounds and
measurement with (V8, Wound Nurse Practitioner). R2 then stated I waited and waited, expecting one of
the nurses to come in and change these (pressure ulcer dressings) yesterday. I finally went to sleep and
forgot all about it till this morning when you (surveyor) came in. V4, Wound LPN removed R2's right
Trochanter bordered gauze dressing, absorbent pad and the wound bed strips. R2's right Trochanter was
approximately a half dollar sized open wound. V4 removed and discarded the soiled dressings and then
went into the bathroom and washed her hands with soap and water, donned new gloves and cleansed R2's
right Trochanter Stage III pressure ulcer with four inch by four inch cotton pads and wound cleanser. V4
patted the areas dry, using a cotton tip to push the gauze under the edges of R2's Stage III wound. V4
stated R2 has undermining from three o'clock all the way around to nine o'clock. V4 removed gloves,
washed hands in the bathroom and donned new gloves. V4 cut opti-gell fiber gelling material in a spiral like
fashion, applied Santyl to the wound bed and inserted the spiraled material into the wound bed and tucked
it below the undermining tissue. V4 applied Sureprep around the outside of the pressure ulcer, applied a
thick cotton dressing and secured the dressing with dated bordered gauze. V4 removed gloves, washed her
hands with soap and water, donned new gloves and assisted R2 to lay completely over, face and left
abdomen down to expose R2's coccyx pressure ulcer dressing. R2's pressure ulcer dressing was dated
3/04/25 and had V4's initials to indicate when it was last changed. V4 stated (R2's) dressings need to be
changed every day. (R2) is currently on antibiotic for Osteomyelitis, caused by these wounds. V4, Wound
LPN removed R2's Coccyx Stage IV Pressure Ulcer Dressing bordered gauze dressing, absorbent pad and
the wound bed strips. R2's coccyx had two, half-moon shaped, approximately two and a half inch opened
wounds, connected by a half inch of healthy tissue. V4 stated The wound is connected, it is all one. The skin
you see is like a bridge. V4 removed and discarded the soiled dressings, washed hands, and donned new
gloves and cleansed R2's coccyx Stage IV pressure ulcer with four inch by four inch cotton pads and
wound cleanser. V4 used a cotton swab to guide a piece of the gauze with wound cleanser under the
bridged skin showing it is one Stage IV pressure ulcer. V4 patted the areas dry. V4 washed her hands
donned new gloves. V4 cut opti-gel fiber material in a spiral like fashion, applied Santyl to the wound bed
and inserted the spiraled material into the wound bed and tucked below the undermining tissue. V4 applied
Sureprep around the outside of the coccyx pressure ulcer, applied an thick cotton dressing and secured the
dressing with dated bordered gauze.
On 3/6/25 at 2:55 pm V4, Wound/Licensed Practical Nurse stated We had some problems with the floor
nurses doing the treatments. I thought we fixed the problem, but apparently not.
On 3/6/25 at 3:05 pm V2, Director of Nursing (DON) provided the facility policy Pressure Injury Assessment
