interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their policy to obtain measurements of a pressure
injury during a wound evaluation. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for pressure injuries in the
sample of 6. The findings include:R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, congestive
heart failure, pressure-induced deep tissue damage of right buttock, unstageable pressure ulcer of sacral
region, and unstageable pressure ulcer of left buttock. R1's skin integrity care plan dated January 13, 2026,
[R1] has an actual impairment to skin integrity related to sacral and bilateral buttock wound unstageable
pressure ulcer. The care plan continued to show multiple interventions dated January 13, 2026, including
Monitor/document location, size and treatment of skin injury. Report abnormalities, failure to heal, signs and
symptoms of infection, maceration, etc. to physician. On January 27, 2026, at 10:43 AM, V3 (Wound Nurse)
said she assesses newly admitted residents for skin impairments with 24 hours of admission. V3 said if she
is unsure how to measure the wound then she will wait for the next time the wound nurse practitioner
comes to that facility. V3 said she did not measure R1's buttock pressure injuries and she is unsure why she
did not measure R1's pressure injuries on her buttocks. V3 said sometimes she does not measure pressure
injuries because she does not want to measure incorrectly and measure the pressure injury as larger than
it is. A Skin/Wound Evaluation dated January 14, 2026, at 5:01 PM, by V3 showed R1 had a suspected
deep tissue injury to the bilateral buttocks. The documentation does not show measurements of R1's
bilateral buttock pressure injury. A Nursing-Admission/readmission assessment dated [DATE], at 3:57 PM,
did not show measurements of R1's bilateral buttocks pressure injuries. A wound assessment report dated
January 19, 2026, by V16 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) showed Date of Service: January 16, 2026. Wound 2,
Location: Left glute, Primary Etiology: Pressure Ulcer/Injury, Stage/Severity: DTI (Deep Tissue Injury),
Wound Status: Present on admission, Size: 6.7 cm (centimeters) by 3.9 cm by 0 cm. Calculated area is
26.13 square cm. Wound Base: 100% (percent) epithelial, Periwond: Intact, Fragile. Wound 3, Location:
Right glute, Primary Etiology: Pressure Ulcer/Injury, Stage/Severity: DTI, Wound Status: Present on
Admission, Size: 9.3 cm by 5.3 cm by 0 cm. Calculated area is 49.29 square cm, Wound Base: 100%
epithelial, Wound Edges: Attached, Periwound: Intact, fragile. On January 27, 2026, at 3:12 PM, V2
(Director of Nursing) said when a resident is admitted to the facility, the admitting nurse will assess the
resident for wounds and document what they see. V2 said V3 then comes within 24 hours to assess the
resident's skin. V2 said she would think as a nurse, the pressure injuries should be measured when being
assessed. V2 said without admission wound measurements, V2 cannot say if a wound had gotten larger
between the time the resident was admitted to the facility and when the wound nurse practitioner comes in
to assess the resident. V2 said staff should follow the policy for wound care guidelines. The facility's policy
titled Wound Care Guidelines dated January 24, 2025, showed Overview of the Program: This

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's bed had protective pieces
in place for the resident's safety. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for resident injury in the
sample of 6. The findings include:R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, congestive
heart failure, pressure-induced deep tissue damage of right buttock, unstageable pressure ulcer of sacral
region, and unstageable pressure ulcer of left buttock. R1's ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) care plan dated
January 14, 2026, showed [R1] has an ADL self-care performance deficit requiring assistance in
completing daily needs related to impaired mobility, pain. The care plan continued to show multiple
interventions dated January 14, 2026, including Transfer: [R1] requires partial staff assist with sit to stand,
chair-bed-to-chair transfer and max staff participation with toilet transfers. On January 28, 2026, at 10:18
AM, V14 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) said she gave R1 a shower on January 19, 2026, and R1
wanted to be transferred back to bed immediately after her shower. V14 said she transferred R1 back to
bed and noticed some redness on R1's left lower leg. V14 said she inspected the shower chair and R1's
bed for the cause. V14 said she saw there were some square pieces on the middle of the bed frame which
were missing the plastic protective pieces. A Skin Alteration Nursing Evaluation dated January 19, 2026, at
