This failure was for one (R1) resident out of three residents reviewed for injury of unknown origin in the sample of four. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R1's hospital record dated 11/13/2024, documents in part, multiple wounds/burns. pt-patient (R1) has significant burn marks/bruising on R (right) side, stated hot water was spilled on her at facility.

R1 stated that she denies any staff hurting her and denies any staff spilling hot water on her. R1 stated that she likes hot water, and she had gotten it before the incident.

V10 stated that she usually works on the set where R1's room was located. V10 stated I know when I readmitted her the other night, I was writing extra wounds that I didn't see, then I saw a right burn to the right side and around her abdominal area, I did a head-to-toe assessment. V10 stated that she denies any nursing staff reporting to her that R1 was noted with any burns. V10 stated I would have reported it right away to the Director of Nursing and administration, because that could be a sign of abuse. V10 stated that when R1 returned from the hospital, she did not ask R1 what happened to the areas. V10 stated during report from the hospital, I was informed from them that she had burns. I readmitted her. I think she is cognitively intact to be able to say what happened.

V14 stated in regard, to the hot water, I don't know for sure if that was a cause, because of the internal, she doesn't receive hot water. V14 stated that blisters can be a sign of a burn.

She stated that she was made aware that R1 had some skin issues which were already addressed in the morning. She stated, her skin was intact, but I think she had blister on her chest. She stated that she didn't report anything about her skin, just the reason she was being transferred to the hospital for low hemoglobin. V17 stated that I didn't think it was relevant, because that was not the reason she was being sent out. They did not call me and ask me about the blisters.
