Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to assess and monitor for pressure ulcers for a
resident who is at high risk for pressure ulcers. This deficiency affects one (R2) of three residents reviewed
for Pressure Ulcer Prevention Program.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
On 2/13/25 at 11:25 AM, V4 (Wound Care Nurse) said that R2 was sent to the hospital on 1/24/25 for
change in condition, R2 was observed unresponsive and abnormal vital signs. V4 said R2 only had scar
tissue to the sacral area but no open skin. When R2 returned to the facility on 1/31/25, R2 returned with an
unstageable wound that the hospital did debridement. V4 said that R2's son and husband were made
aware of resident change of condition and hospital transfer. V4 said that R2's wound care is done weekly,
and measurements are also done on a weekly basis and weekly wound rounds with MD.
On 2/13/25 at 1:45PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said that weekly skin assessments are completed during
wound care treatments and are documented on shower sheets. V2 said she was unaware of R2 having a
sacral wound, no staff verbalized any concerns for R2.
On 2/13/25 at 1:45 PM, V11(Licensed Practical Nurse) said she was the nurse that sent R2 to the hospital
at the start of her evening shift. R2 was observed with a change in condition, not her normal self. V11
notified Nurse practitioner and obtained orders to transfer to hospital. V11 said that she did wound
treatment to bilateral lower extremities, but did not do a full body assessment before R2 left to hospital. V11
notified R2's son and husband of transfer. V11 said that skin assessments are done weekly and also when
she has a shower a skin assessment is done and documented on the shower sheets.
On 2/14/24 at 12:27 PM, V16 (Nurse Practitioner) said that on 1/24/25 when R2 was transferred to the
hospital she was unaware of any wounds to the sacral area. R2 had multiple wounds on her legs, but not
sacral area, V16 said that her expectations of the facility generally should be doing skin assessments on
residents that are high at risk for developing ulcers more frequently than weekly skin assessments.
R2 was initially admitted on [DATE] and was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnosis listed in part but not
limited to: CVA with left hemiparesis, Cognitive Communication deficit, muscle weakness with atrophy, PVD,
epilepsy, dysphagia, metabolic encephalopathy, GERD, pulmonary nodule, anemia, T2DM, protein calorie
malnutrition, Vit D deficiency, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, CKD, Encounter for change or removal of
surgical wound dressing. admission and current Braden/skin assessment indicated that she is at high risk
for developing pressure ulcers/skin impairments. Active physician order sheet

beside, CNA may apply. Pressure redistribution mattress, ProStat 30ml twice a day, Reposition as needed,
Skin assessment weekly on shower days. Wound Care: Sacrum: Cleanse with Normal Saline, pat dry, apply
Medi Honey with gauze to wound bed, gently fill wound space with fluffed gauze; apply Medi Honey gauze
to open Peri wound areas, cover with Border gauze daily and as needed one time day. Comprehensive care
plan indicates that she has pressure ulcer which increases her potential for additional pressure ulcer
development. Intervention: Follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown.
R2 wound care observation made with V4 and V11.
R2 medical record reviewed, Wound measurements, skin assessments, dietary notes, Progress notes, and
Care plan.
Wound Report from 7/2024 to 2/11/2025, Prevention of Pressure Wounds Policy, Accidents/Incidents logs
from 10/2024 to 1/2025 and Shower Sheets from 11/01/24 to 1/25/25.
Facility's policy on Prevention of Pressure Wounds. Effective March 2024.Purpose: The purpose of this
procedure is to provide information regarding identification of pressure injury risk factors and interventions
for specific risk factors.
9. Routinely assess and document the condition of the resident's skin per facility wound and skin care
program for any signs and symptoms of irritation or breakdown.
3. For those unable to change own position, change position at least every 1 hour.
9. A healed injury. The history of a healed pressure injury and its stage (if known) is important, since areas
of healed Stage III or IV pressure injuries are more likely to have recurrent breakdown.
1. Tools for assessing skin and pressure injury risk:
a. Braden Risk Assessment Form
b. Intervention Prevention Measures.
