etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to notify the POA (Power of Attorney) and physician of
changes in condition. This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R1) reviewed for notification of changes.
The findings include:
R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included vascular dementia,
schizophrenia, acute embolism and thrombosis of vein, muscle disorder, Covid-19, weakness. R1's MDS
(Minimum Data Set) dated 10/14/24 showed R1 had moderate cognitive impairment. R1 was transferred to
the hospital on [DATE] and was admitted .
On 12/11/24 at 10:05 AM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that she could not locate any documentation in
R1's medical record regarding the right heel DTI (Deep Tissue Injury). The nurse who discovered the right
heel DTI should have documented in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record), called the doctor/NP (nurse
practitioner) to get orders, and notified the family. With no one knowing about R1's right heel DTI, R1 could
have developed an infection or sepsis, and the skin integrity would not be maintained.
On 12/11/24 at 9:42 AM V4 (Wound Care Nurse) stated on 11/18/24 she first noticed that R1 had a black,
hard, unmeasurable, closed area to his right heel. She did not call the doctor/NP because it was not
opened. V4 stated they kept an eye on it to see if it would open or not. V4 stated she saw the right heel
again on 11/25/24, and the area was the same as before, there were no changes. V4 stated she still did not
call the doctor because it had no changes. V4 stated they did not apply a dressing or protective treatments
to the right heel, they only put socks on R1. V4 stated after 11/25/24, she never saw R1's right heel again.
V4 stated R1 never complained of pain. V4 stated the area on the right heel was a DTI. V4 stated she did
not notify R1's POA or family of the DTI to the right heel.
On 12/11/24 at 3:05 PM V6 (Nurse Practitioner) stated she was not aware of R1 having a right heel DTI. V6
stated the nurse should have informed her of the resident having a DTI to the right heel. V6 stated R1 not
having a treatment to the heel could have possibly caused a wound infection. V6 stated she was not
informed of R1's elevated heart rate on 11/30/24. An elevated heart rate is a sign of progressing infection,
R1 would have needed a further work up, and maybe an antiviral. V6 stated she expects the nurses to
notify her with any changes in conditions the residents may have so they can receive the proper treatment.
V6 stated R1 did not receive the proper treatment.
R1's Resident's Bath and Skin Report Sheet for November 2024 reviewed. The report sheet showed on
11/18/24 R1 had a blister to the right heel (DTI) that was black, hard, and closed. The same report

interview and record review, the facility failed to provide needed wound care treatment services and
manage abnormal vital signs for a resident with Covid. This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R1) reviewed for
improper nursing care.
Residents Affected - Few

R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included vascular dementia,
schizophrenia, acute embolism and thrombosis of vein, muscle disorder, Covid-19, weakness. R1's MDS
(Minimum Data Set) dated 10/14/24 showed R1 had moderate cognitive impairment. R1 was transferred to
the hospital on [DATE] and was admitted .
On 12/10/24 at 2:38 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the nurses take vital signs and do a nursing
assessment every shift for residents with Covid. The nursing assessment is documented in the progress
notes every shift. We do not have a standard assessment. V2 stated R1 should have had some
documentation regarding his condition. R1 had Covid and should have been screened. V2 stated the nurse
documented on 11/30/24 that R1 had a heart rate of 110. She did not document anything. She should have
notified the doctor or the NP (Nurse Practitioner) of the elevated heart rate. On 12/1/24 R1 was not found
unresponsive but he was hypoxic with a lot of phlegm. On 12/11/24 at 10:05 AM V2 stated that she could
not locate any documentation in R1's medical record regarding the right heel DTI (Deep Tissue Injury). The
nurse who discovered the right heel DTI should have documented in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record),

On 12/11/24 at 1:40 PM V5 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated she was the nurse taking care of R1 on
11/30/24. V5 stated R1 had a heart rate of 110 beats per minute that I documented in the EMR vitals. I did
not call the physician. I should have called the physician to give him an update on the resident. I should
have documented in the progress notes about the resident's condition. The resident could have had a heart
attack with an elevated heart rate. The Covid policy is to do vitals every four hours and document the
residents condition every shift. I should have had some form of progress notes in for the resident. V5 stated
I assessed R1 on 12/1/24 around 11:30 PM, he was very congested, had a lot of phlegm, no fever, and he
was coughing. He was alert, and not unresponsive. His oxygen saturations were 88-89 on room air. We sat
him up, applied oxygen, and called 911. 911 arrived and transported him to the hospital. Stated resident
never complained to her that his foot was in pain. V5 stated she was not aware of R1 having a DTI to his
right heel.
