Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to properly identify/assess a resident (R1) for the source of an
injury in a timely manner and failed to recognize and/or assess risk factors placing the resident at risk for
specific conditions and/or problems. 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. APS (adult
protective service) called. Wound care.
On 11/17/2024, 12:45 PM, R1 stated that she accidentally spilled hot water on herself. R1 stated it
happened during mealtime about 2-3 weeks ago. R1 is not able to remember the exact date. R1 stated that
she denies reporting it to staff when it happened. 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.
R1's current face sheet documents that R1 is an [AGE] year-old female with diagnoses not limited to: burn
of third degree of chest wall, subsequent encounter, weakness, encounter for other specified aftercare,
osteomyelitis of vertebra, sacral and sacrococcygeal region.
R1's MDS/Minimum Data Set Section C dated 10/08/2024, documents that R1 has a BIMS/Brief Interview
for Mental Status score of 12/15, indicating that R1 is moderately cognitively impaired.
R1's MDS/Minimum Data Set section GG dated 10/8/2024, documents that R1 requires setup and or
clean-up assistance for eating (the ability to use suitable utensils to bring food and/or liquid to the mouth
and swallow food and/or liquid once the meal is placed before the resident).
On 11/17/2024, 2:55 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that V15 (Wound Care Nurse) just went on
vacation this morning. Will get contact information.
On 11/17/24, 3:27 PM, V10 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated I don't know any incidents that happened. If I
did, I would have documented it in the progress notes. 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.
On 11/17/24, 5:24 PM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) stated our wound care coordinator noted her to have
a blister on her right back of her right arm. I don't know what date it was. I believe it was on the 3rd. She
developed a blister on the back of her arm. Wound care picked it up. V2 stated that V14 (Nurse Practitioner)
assessed her on Tuesday, during her rounds. V2 stated that V14 noticed the

right breast with blisters. V2 stated that V15 (Wound Care Nurse) questioned the resident (R1) what
happened, and the resident didn't know how it got there.
On 11/17/24, 4:28 PM, via telephone V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated that she worked on
11/3/2024, and she works for the facility full-time. V12 stated that she is familiar with R1. V12 stated she
(R1) normally needs to be changed, she is very alert, and she knows English, but she chooses who she
speaks to. She doesn't talk much unless she likes you. V12 stated I wasn't there for two weeks before
November 3rd, 2024. V12 stated that she does not remember R1 having any skin issues when she worked
with her that day. V12 stated I didn't notice anything on her skin because I didn't give her a bed bath or
shower, I don't just look at her breast. V12 stated that R1 was not acting any different than her usual. V12
stated she was normal, she was on the phone. I gave her hot water and her tray, she uses hot water,
because she told me that Asian women like hot water for their hands and teeth.
On 11/18/24, 12:09 PM, via telephone V14 (Nurse Practitioner) stated I was consulted to see her (R1) for a
new blister to her right upper arm and her breast on 11/5/24, from my understanding, they did a whole
investigation. V14 stated when I went in with the nursing wound care team, she does have a language
barrier and she also has dementia. When I asked her what happened, she said hot water. Again, I don't
know what's true and not true. V14 stated that for the blisters located in the breast area, there were a few
still scattered fluid filled blisters on the breast. V14 stated that the blisters were superficially opened, which
showed superficial broken skin. V14 stated that the location of the injury was essential around the areola,
below the right breast on the right abdomen area/rib cage area. V14 stated that R1 did have slight facial
grimacing when wound care applied treatment. V14 stated that R1 has very thin skin which puts her at high
risk for skin breakdown. V14 stated one of the medications that she is receiving is for cancer treatment, and
has a side effect, potentially that could have caused it. 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. V14 stated my assumption was that V2 (DON) was made aware when it first
happened.
On 11/18/24, 12:49 PM, V17 (Registered Nurse) stated she was the nurse that called and gave report to
the charge nurse at the emergency department. Surveyor questioned what information was given in the
report, and she stated, I gave her the reason she (R1) was being transferred out, her latest vital signs,
mental status at the time of transfer, her age, past medical history, and the ordering doctor that is sending
her out. She stated that she was working the evening shift. She stated that she did not receive any calls
from the ER (Emergency Room) department regarding this resident. 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.
R1's Skin/Wound Evaluation dated 11/03/2024, documents in part, right post. (posterior/back) of arm,
blister, serous (clear fluid) filled blister measure 6.5 centimeters x 4.0 centimeters.
R1's skin summary note included in R1's skin/wound evaluation dated 11/03/2024, no documentation noted
