F 0686 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 identify a new skin alteration for a resident who is at risk for developing pressure wounds which applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for pressure wounds in a sample of 3. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R1 facility assessment dated [DATE] showed R1 is a [AGE] year-old cognitive male resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which include a history of traumatic brain injury, bilateral lower leg amputation, lack of coordination, and unspecified dementia. This assessment showed R1 is dependent or needs maximum assistance with activities of daily living which include transferring, bed mobility, showering/bathing, and getting dressed. On 7/1/25 at 10:30 AM, V2 Director of Nursing performed a skin check on R1. During the skin check, two open areas were identified. One on the right and left lower buttocks. The right open area was measured at 1.2 x 0.5 x 0.1 centimeters (cm). The left buttock open area was measured at 0.75 x 2.0 x 0.1 cm. Both open areas were light red with slight, thin, clear exudate. Both open areas were over previously healed pressure wounds. The facility's undated list of residents with pressure wounds provided on 7/1/25 did not have R1 listed as a resident with current pressure wounds. The facility's scheduling calendar and sign out log show R1 had an appointment with a new primary care provider (PCP) on 6/26/25. These documents showed R1 left the faciity on 6/26/25 at 9:30 AM and returned to the facility at 12:12 PM. R1's shower sheet dated 6/26/25 showed R1 received a complete bed bath with discoloration on buttocks. This document showed no new identified open areas. On 7/1/25 at 10:15 AM, V12 PCP office nurse stated during R1's office visit (6/26/25) two open areas were identified on R1 lower buttocks. R1's medical record showed no new orders, skin assessments, or progress notes related to new open skin areas. R1's current care plan showed R1 is at risk for skin breakdown with interventions which include routine skin checks being done daily with cares and weekly with bath or shower schedules. Any new skin issues or concerns should be relayed to the charge nurse for further assessments and or treatments.
