F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop a plan of care and assure that one resident (R1) at high risk for skin breakdown received the treatment and services to prevent the development and worsening of a new pressure ulcer. This failure resulted in R1's development and deterioration of a unstageable pressure ulcer, requiring hospitalization and surgical intervention for Sacral ulcer with underlying destruction of the coccyx.Findings include:R1's medical diagnoses include but are not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, cognitive communication deficit, depression, essential hypertension. R1 admitted to the facility on [DATE].R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] has a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 12, indicating R1's cognition is moderately intact.

V3 stated that R1 would sit in her chair for greater than 2 hours at a time. V3 stated that R1 was compliant with care and did not refuse to be cared for.0n 09/22/25 at 11:31am V4 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated that R1 was dependent on staff to be cleaned and repositioned.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few would try to put her back to bed after lunch and she would refuse.On 09/23/25 at 11:00am V9 (Wound Care Nurse) stated that R1 had no wound to her sacrum upon admission on [DATE]. V9 stated that R1 developed an unstageable pressure ulcer to her sacrum while at the facility. V9 stated that R1 was a high risk for skin breakdown due to being incontinent, immobile, and sitting up for 4 hours instead of 2 hours. V9 stated that R1's daughter informed him that she felt the R1 was not being repositioned enough. V9 stated that he began to bathe and reposition R1 himself to make sure that R1 was being cleaned and turned. V9 stated that he was on vacation from 08/06/25 through 08/18/25, and R1's sacrum wound had necrotic tissue, but was stable before his vacation. V9 said for R1 preventive measures in place for her included turn and reposition. V9 said I put an order for her to be turned and repositioned under physician orders. V9 said I informed the staff to make sure that she was not sitting up in the chair when I wasn't here. V9 said the purpose of interventions are to help and resolve any skin integrity issues. On 09/22/25 at 3:44pm V5, CNA, said sometimes R1 would be in her chair when she came on shift at 3:00PM. V5 said R1 would stay up until around 6:15PM (greater than 2 hours).On 09/24/25 at 10:43am V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that it is the expectation of the facility for the nurses to follow the physician orders. V2 said it is my expectation that staff reposition the residents at least every 2 hours or more. They should clean the residents when they come in in the morning time, and at least every 2 hours they should be checking the for incontinent episodes. V2 said a care plan should be in place if a resident refuses care. If should be documented first by the nurse if a resident refuses care. V2 said for a resident with wounds interventions should include repositioning and not sitting up too long on the wound. V2 said if a resident develops a new wound that means that the preventive measures are not working. V2 said when wounds are not changed as scheduled, they could deteriorate, and the nurse is not following the doctor's orders. V2 said I am not aware that R1 had no new interventions once she developed the new wound. V2 said R1's wound care plan is not complete and is the interventions are not individualized. On 09/24/25 at 11:58am V11, LPN, said for charting in the record, normally when I press 7, it's because the wound was already done by wound care nurse. I don't know if that was a generated note. I do recall changing the sacrum dressing before and changing the groin one week before. V11 said R1's wound was so painful to her she used to scream when we had to try to clean it.On 09/24/25 at 08:52am, V18 (Wound care doctor) stated that if R1 would have been turning herself in bed, that would have helped the MASD and prevented the sacrum wound from worsening.On 9/24/25 at 1:05pm V12, Social Service director said I never was told that R1 refused care or had behaviors. V12 said social services is notified of resident care refusals. Review of R1's record shows no documentation of sacrum wound before 08/03/25.
