The wound was a Stage III pressure wound to his coccyx. V16 said R2's coccyx pressure wound was acquired in the facility. V16 said it had yellow slough and was not sure why it was not found sooner. V16 said it (healing) was difficult at first because R2 did not like his low air loss mattress, and he was only moving when staff moved him.On 1/17/26 at 11:40 AM, V8, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said it's important she informs V16 and the (floor) nurse about any changes in the residents' skin right away.R2's Admission/readmission Alteration in Skin Integrity form dated 12/17/25 shows R2 has no open areas or skin breakdown. R2's Weekly Wound Evaluation dated 12/18/25 shows R2 has blanchable redness to his buttocks with no open areas present. No redness or open areas were noted to his coccyx.

R2's Braden Scale(s) for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk dated 12/17/25, 12/25/25, 1/2/26 and 1/9/26 all show R2 is a low risk. R2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] shows R2 is cognitively intact and has no rejection of care behaviors.The facility's Guidelines for Prevention/Treatment of Pressure Injuries (dated 10/9/23) show that a Risk Assessment is considered the starting point for prevention of pressure injury. The earlier any risk factors can be identified, the more quickly they can be addressed. The at risk resident must be identified because they can develop a pressure injury within hours of the onset of pressure. CNAs should immediately report any new skin concern, or complaint of a painful area of skin to the nurse for assessment.
