**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to provide timely treatment of a resident's left lower back and left hip skin tears. The facility also failed to update the resident's skin care plan with the facility acquired skin tears. These failures affected one (R3) out of three residents reviewed for Accidents in a sample list of three residents. Findings include:R3's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R3 as severely cognitively impaired. This same MDS documents R3 is dependent on staff for oral hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, bed mobility and transfers. R3's Skin Integrity Care plan initiated 2/17/25 does not include updated interventions for R3's Left Lower Back and Left Hip skin tears obtained at facility on 7/3/25. R3's Physician Order Set (POS) dated July 2025 documents a physician order starting 7/7/25 to monitor R3's Left Hip skin tear for decrease in size/severity and signs and symptoms (s/s) of infection (increased warmth, drainage, smell, decreased function) daily until healed. This same POS documents a physician order starting on 7/10/25 with no end date to apply Zinc cream every shift to R3's Left Hip skin tear. This same POS documents a physician order starting 7/7/25 and ending 7/10/25 to cleanse R3's Left Lower Back skin tear and cover with dry dressing daily and as needed. R3's Wound Assessment and Plan dated 7/3/25 documents R3's Left Lower Back skin tear as measuring 4.0 centimeters (cm) long by 4.0 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep with an onset date of 7/3/25. This same assessment documents R3's Left Hip skin tear as measuring 4.0 cm long by 1.6 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep with an onset date of 7/3/25. This same wound assessment documents physician orders to cleanse R3's Left Hip and Left Lower Back skin tears, cover with a dry dressing daily and as needed. R3's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated July 2025 documents R3's treatments for skin tears starting 7/7/25. There is no physician orders documented on R3's TAR prior to 7/7/25 for the treatment of R3's skin tears. On 8/1/25 at 12:15 PM V9 (Wound Nurse/Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated R3 obtained his Left Lower Back and Left Hip skin tears at the facility. V9 stated she first noted R3's two skin tears on 7/3/25 when rounding with V10 (Wound Physician Assistant/PA). V9 stated she received orders for treatment on 7/3/25 but did not enter V10's verbal orders until 7/7/25 when she received V10's written orders. V9 (Wound Nurse/LPN) stated she should have entered R3's wound treatment orders on 7/3/25. V9 stated R3's two skin tears were caused by staff pulling on R3's incontinence brief or linens too hard when providing incontinence cares causing a shearing effect. V9 stated she should have completed an incident report or risk management but did not. V9 stated R3's care plan should have been updated with his two new facility acquired skin tears to help prevent further incidents.
