The Treatment Administration Record dated April 2023 shows that a treatment order was initiated on 4/27/23 (2 days after the wound was identified and assessed) for the left great toe. This same document shows that the facility has an order for daily skin checks for R1 on the day shift. On 5/10/23 at 3:30 PM, V3 (Wound Care RN) stated, I noticed his toe was turning black and I knew (V12Wound MD) (was coming the next day. Since I am new and don't always know how to assess and categorize wounds, I thought I would just wait for him to come. It happened over the weekend, and I found it when I came in on Monday. I do daily skin assessments and they are supposed to do them over the weekend too, but he is not easy to care for, especially when you have to remove his socks. If another nurse saw the toe, then they should have documented it. Page 1 of 3 145712 145712 05/17/2023 Pavilion on Main Street, The 515 North Main Sandwich, IL 60548

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few the resident and then I go in and assess it. I saw him (R1) previously a few months back and that wound healed, so I didn't see him again. When they presented him to me this time, he had developed several new pressure injuries. When I saw the wounds, I began to question his vascular issues. I made a referral to the vascular surgeon which I don't think he ever saw, and then he got septic and went on to be diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. If they found them early, they could have deteriorated to a Stage 3 by the time I saw him because I only come once a week. 145712 Page 3 of 3
