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 and record review the facility failed to identify a pressure injury before becoming unstageable and
failed to provide treatment to moisture associated dermatitis. These failures resulted in R4 developing an
unstageable pressure injury to the sacrum. This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R4) reviewed for pressure
injuries in the sample of 11.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 3/15/24 at 11:34 AM, V10 Wound Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) said R4 has pressure injury on her
sacrum that was acquired at the facility and has been treated for a while. V10 said she is new to the facility
and was not here when R4's wound was found. V10 said nursing staff does daily skin checks on residents
during care and showers. V10 said she does weekly skin assessments for residents with wounds. V10 said
any skin issue noted should be reported to the nurse and an assessment of the wound including
measurements should be done and documented. V10 said interventions including treatments will then be
implemented.
R4's admission Skin assessment dated [DATE] shows R4 was admitted on [DATE] with blanchable redness
to her sacrum and shows R4 is at very high risk for skin impairment.
R4's admission Skin assessment dated [DATE] was done by V13 Previous Wound LPN and shows skin
intact.
R4's Care Plan dated 12/11/23 shows resident has activity of daily living self-care performance deficit

assessments on R4's skin. R4's Weekly Skin Observation Progress Note dated 12/28/23 shows new wound
noted. Wound 1 was acquired in-house. Wound 1 is a pressure injury. Wound 1 is unstageable. First
observation for wound 1. No reference prior.
R4's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for December 2023 shows an order dated 12/22/23 Cleanse
open area to right buttock with normal saline, pat dry and apply duoderm. Every day shift for right buttock
and an order dated 12/22/23 Cleanse open area to left buttock with normal saline, pat dry and apply
duoderm. Every day shift for left buttock. These orders were discontinued on 12/26/23. From 12/22/23 to
12/26/23 the treatment orders for the left and right buttock were only checked off as completed 2 days
(12/24/23-12/25/23). New orders for the right and left buttock were started on 12/26/23. (R4 had no
treatments completed on her right and left buttock 12/26/23 and 12/27/23.)
R4's Skin-Pressure/Diabetic/Venous/Arterial Wound Report dated 12/28/23 by V13 shows R4 has a new
wound to her coccyx, acquired in-house, Unstageable Pressure injury with measurements of 5.5 x 6.4 x 0.1
Centimeters. Tissue type: 60% necrotic, 10% slough, 30% granulation.
R4's Initial Wound Evaluation and Management Summary dated 12/28/23 by V14 Wound Doctor shows
Unstageable (due to necrosis) sacrum pressure measuring 5.5 x 6.4 x 0.1 centimeters, thick adherent black
necrotic tissue 30%, thick adherent devitalized necrotic tissue 30%, slough 10%, granulation tissue 30%.
R4's Wound Evaluation and Management Summary dated 1/15/24 by V14 Wound Doctor shows Addendum
to previous visit note from 1/8/24: wound was not present on admission to facility.
On 3/15/24 at 1:51 PM, V2 Director of Nursing said V13 was the wound care nurse at the time R4's wound
was found. V2 said V13 no longer works here. V2 said she was not sure how R4's unstageable wound
happened between 12/21/23 and 12/28/23. V2 said it is not typical for a wound to develop so quickly. V2
said absolutely the wound should have been identified before being unstageable. V2 said on 12/21/23, V13
noted open areas on the TAR but there were no measurements done or assessment charted, but the care
plan indicated Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD). V2 said other than the shower sheets, she could
not find any other skin assessments or notes. V2 said MASD makes a resident as risk for developing
pressure. V2 said R4's treatments for the MASD or open skin areas on the left and right buttock were not
completed as ordered on the TAR. V2 said not doing the treatments as ordered increases the risk of
developing pressure injuries also. V2 said when R4's pressure wound was found it was one large area
indicating the areas on the left and right buttocks turned into the large sacral wound.
The facility's Pressure Injury and Skin Condition Assessment Policy dated 11/2023 shows Each resident
will be observed for skin breakdown daily during care. Changes shall be promptly reported to the charge
nurse who will perform the detailed assessment. Care givers are responsible for promptly notifying the
charge nurse of skin breakdown. The initial observation of the ulcer or skin breakdown will also be
described in the nursing progress notes. Dressing will be checked daily for placement, cleanliness, and
signs and symptoms of infection.
