The findings include:
On May 14, 2024, at 10:10 AM, R1 was lying in bed. The entire top of her head/scalp was dry with
yellow/red crusty scabs. Her hair appeared greasy and/or wet. She stated, They say it's eczema on my
head. It's been there for a while.
On May 14, 2024, at 10:56 AM, V3 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated, R1's head has been like that
for 2-3 months. They are not doing anything for it. She has been putting A&D ointment on it until R1's friend
(V5 power of attorney of financial (POA)) brought her a medicated shampoo. She was washing her hair with
regular shampoo, but it was drying it out more. She didn't know what it was on her head. It started off small
and has gotten bigger. When she tries to scrape off the crusty scabs, R1 says it hurts so she doesn't scrub
it too hard.
On May 14, 2024, at 10:58 AM, V5 R1's POA was visiting her. She stated, her head has been like this since
December. She showed this surveyor a picture taken on December 13, 2023, of R1's head. It had a small
round yellow crusty scab on the top of her head. It was approximately the size of a quarter. (The yellow
crusty area now covers the entire top of her scalp/head). There were two red/purple lines on each side of
the yellow scab. It looked like scratches. She stated, they told her it was psoriasis. So, she went and bought
her a medicated shampoo. R1 had a bottle of [NAME] psoriasis shampoo in her room that was purchased
by V5. They have only been putting on ointment (A&D ointment) and using the medicated shampoo V5
bought her last week. V5 also showed this surveyor another picture she took last Thursday (May 9, 2024) of
R1's head. R1's head had a thick yellow, red crusty scabs all over the top of her head.
On May 14, 2024, at 11:00 AM, V8 Wound Care Nurse and V7 Wound Care Nurse Practitioner (WCNP)
were seeing residents in the facility. V8 stated, he didn't know about R1's head until last week when V10
Social Services reported it to him. V7 stated, he first saw R1's head last week on May 8th. He
recommended a medicated shampoo (Ketoconazole). V7 stated, he has been seeing her weekly because
she has a rash on her back and coccyx. He has not been seeing her for her head/scalp. At 2:15 PM, V7
stated, A&D ointment is a petroleum ointment. He would not recommend that because it acts like a barrier.
She needs the medicated shampoo.
On May 14, 2024, at 11:10 AM, V9 Registered Nurse (RN) stated, she was the full-time nurse on day
