extremity, venous, insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and
Alzheimer's disease.
R6's Care Plan, dated 8/23/23, documents R6 has a potential for impairment of skin integrity related to
fragile skin, impaired mobility, and incontinence.
The Change of Condition Evaluation, dated 8/27/23, documents R6 had a change in condition of a skin
wound and this occurred in the afternoon. R6 had no changes in mental status observed. There were no
other changes of condition documented besides a skin tear to the right knee.
The Hospital Records, dated 8/27/23, documents R6 was sent to the hospital when staff noted a linear
laceration to the right knee. R6 does not have any pain and does not recall how this occurred. Staff denied
any falls or witnesses to the injury. R6 was alert and oriented times two. The laceration to the right knee
was 2.5 cm horizontally. R6 received seven sutures to the right knee during a laceration repair.
On 9/6/23 at 5:35PM, V9 (Wound Nurse Practitioner) stated the older a resident becomes the more fragile
skin becomes. V9 endorsed if a resident has a disease related to lack of circulation then wounds can
develop easier than residents who don't have circulation issues. V1 stated the facility should be monitoring
residents as best as they can to prevent any wounds.
On 9/7/23 at 1:48PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated when V14 (CNA) got R6 in bed, a skin tear was
found to R6's right knee. V2 endorsed R6 was not able to say what happened. V2 reported assuming R6
bumped R6's leg, but was not able to confidentially say how the wound occurred. V1 stated the skin tear
was about one to two inches long. V2 reported R6 was sent the hospital because of the skin tear and
increased confusion. Per the documentation, R6 did not have any changes in mental status. V2 stated
seeing a blood stain on R6's pants once R6 was in bed but was not able to see the blood stain before due
to R6 having dark pants.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their abuse policy by not reporting an injury of
unknown origin to the regulatory agency. This affected one of three (R6) residents reviewed for abuse policy
reporting.
Findings Include:
R6 is a [AGE] year old with the following diagnosis: chronic venous hypertension with ulcer of the left lower
extremity, venous, insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and
Alzheimer's disease.
The Change of Condition Evaluation, dated 8/27/23, documents R6 had a change in condition of a skin
wound and this occurred in the afternoon. There were no other changes of condition documented besides a
skin tear to the right knee.
The Hospital Records, dated 8/27/23, documents R6 was sent to the hospital when staff noted a linear

On 9/7/23 at 1:48PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated when V14 (CNA) got R6 in bed, a skin tear was
found to R6's right knee. V2 endorsed R6 was not able to say what happened. V2 reported R6 was sent the
hospital because of the skin tear. V2 stated, I reported it to the doctor and the Administrator. It didn't need to
be reported to IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) because it wasn't a fall.
On 9/8/23 at 12:42PM, V1 (Administrator) stated R6 was sent to the hospital after obtaining a new skin tear
in the facility. When asked what an injury of unknown origin is, V1 replied, It's an injury that can't be
explained how it happened by the resident or staff. V1 endorsed a risk management investigation is
completed within the facility, but is not sent to IDPH. V1 stated, We didn't need to send an incident report to
IDPH because it was a skin tear. Skin tears do not need to be reported. You might not know how a skin tear
happened so it doesn't need to be reported. V1 denied R6 being able to explain how the skin tear
happened.
There is no documentation the facility notified the IDPH Regional Office of the injury of unknown origin for
R6.
