On 4/24/25 at 2:21PM, V14 (social service director) said he was manager on duty on 4/19/2025. V14 said
around 11:00 AM, he saw R2 yelling out in the hallway about her foot was in pain and her negative
pressure wound therapy device had come off. V14 said R2 was observed with a bath towel around her right
foot. V14 said he informed the floor nurse of R2's request to see the wound care.
On 4/25/25 253PM, V15(front desk) said she saw R2 at the front desk and she was complaining about her
foot. R2 reported the wound care nurse saw her in the hallway but did not come to see her to give her
treatment. V15 said she paged the wound care and never received a call back. V15 said she paged again
and no return call, V15 said she saw wound care nurse on the unit and just assumed she would eventually
make it to R2. V15 did not inform anyone of R2's request or do anything further for R2 request.
On 4/22/25 at 3:12PM, V7(nurse) who was assigned to R2 on the evening shift 3-11. Around 3:30, R2
reported that she wanted to go to the hospital to get her wound looked at. V7 said R2 negative pressure
wound therapy was disconnected and there was a towel around her right foot.
On 4/24/24 at 12:38PM, V13(wound care nurse) said she saw R2 in the morning around 8:00AM. R2 said
she put a transparent dressing on her foot which was intact and wound drainage container which was about
a quarter full. V13 said she did not see R2 after that encounter and did not receive any reports, concerns,
or requests about R2. V13 said if she was aware that R2 needed to be seen she would have seen R2
during her shift. V13 said sometimes they will page her, but she does not hear it when she is in a resident
room.
On 4/25/25 2:48PM, V2 (ADON) said if staff need to contact the wound care nurse on duty, they would call
them on their cell phone or call their office. They can leave a message in mailbox or email. V2 said its not
standard protocol to page staff if needed. If a resident is requesting for wound care the nurse should call
the wound care nurse. If wound care nurse is not available than they would document, and resident would
be seen by wound care next day. V2 said if R2 removed her wound vac or dressing she has an as needed
order that should have been followed.
On 4/25/25 at 1:29PM, V16 (wound nurse practitioner) said negative pressure wound therapy helps to
decrease moisture, aide with healing and help blood flow to the area. If a resident is noncompliant with
device, it may be needed to change treatments to a daily dressing. If device is removed or turned off it puts
the patient at risk for infection or wound to become larger.
R2's April's medication administration record and treatment administration record reviewed with no
documentation of any treatments provided to R2 on 4/19/25. Records reviewed do not document any
monitoring or checks to R2's negative pressure wound therapy
R2's progress note dated 4/19/25 at 6:28PM documents: Resident was noted to be non-compliant with
prescribed wound care treatment. She independently removed her wound vac device and placed a towel
over the open wound. Upon intervention, resident became visibly upset, began crying loudly, and was
inconsolable. Nursing staff administered prescribed pain and antianxiety medications for symptom
management. Despite being informed that wound care would be continued in-house, resident insisted on
being transferred to the hospital for wound treatment. AMA (Against [NAME] l Advice) paperwork was
offered; However, the resident refused to sign. Subsequently, the resident contacted 911. Paramedics
arrived and transported the resident to the hospital. There were no other documented nursing progress
notes on 4/19/25.
