Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement interventions in preventing the
reopening of a healed pressure ulcer and worsening of an existing pressure ulcer for two (R18 and R29) of
four residents in the sample of 27 reviewed for skin breakdown. This deficiency resulted in R18's healed
pressure ulcer on the sacrum reopening and being identified as a facility acquired, Stage 3 wound.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. R18 is a [AGE] year-old, male, admitted in the facility on 07/24/23. with diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
According to Skin Wound Report. dated 07/24/23, he was admitted with Stage 2 pressure injury on the
sacrum, measuring 1cm (centimeter) x 1cm x 0.1cm.
R18's Care plan on pressure ulcer to sacrum related to immobility, dated 08/23/23, documented:
Interventions: Avoid positioning the resident on sacrum; Encourage and assist with turning and
repositioning at regular intervals as allowed and tolerated every shift and when requested for comfort;
Facility follow policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown.
R18's NP (Nurse Practitioner) wound notes recorded the following:
08/30/23 - Integumentary: Wound status is healed. The wound is currently classified as a Category/Stage II
wound with etiology of pressure ulcer and is located on the sacrum. The wound measures 0cm length x
0cm width x 0cm depth.

was coming from his sacral wound. Treatment is clean with soap and water and apply (ointment) and zinc,
leave it open to air. It was noted R18's wound is open, with pinkish to reddish wound bed.
Residents Affected - Few
It was also observed 10:00 AM to 12:10 PM, R18 was lying on his back in bed, watching TV.
On 10/23/23, random observation every 15 to 30 minutes interval was conducted from 10:10 AM to 12:48
PM, which showed R18 was not repositioned, nor was his sacral wound offloaded. From 10:10 AM to 11:00
AM, R18 was observed in bed, lying on his back in a semi-sitting position. From 11:15 AM to 12:10 PM, he
was observed in bed, lying on his back, with head of bed elevated to a 90 degree-angle. From 12:35 PM to
12:48 PM, he was lying on his back again in a semi-sitting position. At 1:50 PM, he was again observed
lying on his back, in bed. R18 was asked if he is turned or repositioned while in bed. R18 stated, No, I am
not turned. When I'm asleep, I sleep on my side. But when I am awake, no, they don't turn me.
On 10/23/23 at 12:56 PM, V7 (Wound Care Nurse) stated, He is verbal; does not like to be in the
wheelchair. He was admitted with Stage 2 pressure ulcer on the sacrum on 07/24/23, healed on 08/30/23.
No hospitalizations since admission. It reopened on 09/20/23 as Stage 3, measuring 7cm x 8cm x 0.2cm. It
reopened because he is noncompliant with repositioning.
On 10/23/23 at 1:39 PM, V6 (Certified Nurse Assistant, CNA) stated, He cannot turn himself, but he is
willing to be turned. He is compliant with turning, awake and asleep. We do turning and repositioning every
two hours.
V4, Registered Nurse/RN was also asked regarding R18 and repositioning. V4 mentioned, We do side
turning every two hours. He is able and compliant.
On 10/23/23 at 4:23 PM, V9, Wound Nurse Practitioner stated, His sacral wound was healed on 08/30/23. It
reopened to Stage 3 on 9/20/23. I don't have anything documented for the opening. Scar tissues are very
fragile for reopening. After a wound is healed, it is prone to reopen. To prevent sacral pressure ulcer from
developing and worsening, in general - turning and repositioning per protocol, in general about 2-3 hours;
nutrition; use of low air loss mattress. I expect staff for early identification of skin issues and implementation
of preventative measures like use of low air loss mattress, following up of nutritional status, offloading,
turning and repositioning.
R18's NP Wound Notes, dated 10/25/23, recorded: Wound status is open. The wound is currently classified
as a Category/Stage III wound with etiology of pressure ulcer and is located on the sacrum. The wound
measures 6cm length x 9cm width x 0.1cm depth. There is a small amount of serosanguineous drainage
noted. There is medium red, pink granulation within the wound bed. The periwound skin appearance
exhibited: scarring, maceration, ecchymosis.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow professional standards of
practice by not administering medications within the scheduled times ordered, failed to have a physician
order before administering a medication, and failed to ensure that staff do not document medications as
given in the electronic medication administration record (EMAR) without administering the medications to
residents. This failure affected three residents (R18, R44 and R208) of five residents reviewed for
medication administration and have the potential to affect all 51 residents currently residing in the facility.
Findings include:
10/22/23 at 10:15AM, surveyor asked V4 (Registered Nurse/RN) if she is still passing medication, and she
said she is done with med pass. During observation of the residents on the floor, R208 stated at 10:18AM,
she has not received her morning medication. At 10:34AM, R44 also told surveyor he has not received his
medication; he does not know what the delay is. At 10:40 AM, surveyor asked V3 (Licensed Practical
Nurse/LPN) the assigned nurse for R44 and R208 if she is done with medication pass, and she said yes.
Surveyor then informed her R44 and R208 stated they have not received their morning medication and she
said, Oh, I think I have a few more residents on that end.
At 10:40AM, followed V3 (LPN) opened her electronic medication administration record in the computer,
and it showed all R208's morning medications have turned green in color. Surveyor asked V3 if the green
color indicated the medications have been given, and she said yes. V3 prepared 9 pills for R208 and gave
them to the resident, but did not sign the electronic medical administration record (EMAR) (because it was
already signed).
At 11:00AM, V3 started to prepare medications for R44, and again all his medications were already signed
out as given. V3 prepared 6 pills for R44 administered them, and did not sign the EMAR. As V3 was leaving
resident's room, he was coughing, and V3 asked him if he wanted cough syrup, resident said yes. V3 went
to her medication cart and poured 10ml of Robitusssin cough syrup and administered it to resident.
V3 was asked her why the residents' medications were signed out before being administered and she said,
I was going to come back and give it, I was just busy this morning, I know I am not supposed to sign out the
medications before giving them. The medications administered to R208 and R44 were scheduled to be
given at 9:00AM. R44 did not any physician's order for a cough syrup per record review. Review of EMAR
showed V3 signed out all the medications as given at 9:00AM.
On 10/22/23 at 1:05PM, observed V4 (RN) for medication pass for R18, and noted the three due
medications were already signed out as given before we got to the resident's room. V4 prepared three pills
and administered them to the resident, did not sign the EMAR. V4 said, Oh, I must have clicked it in error; I
am not supposed to sign the medications before they are given.
On 10/23/2023 at 3:15PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) said, Nurses must follow the five rights of
medication administration: right medication, right time, right dose, right patient, and right route. Medications
should be signed out after it is given; nurses should check the medication for the due time, administer the
medications and then sign, this is done in case the resident refuses any of the medications so the nurse
can document the refusal.4

Provide routine and 24-hour emergency dental care for each resident.
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 reviews, the facility failed to follow their policy and procedure for
providing dental services by not following up on the status of the dentist's recommendation for a tooth
extraction for a dependent resident with a loose tooth. This failure applied to one of one residents (R26)
reviewed for dental care.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R26 is an [AGE] year old female with a diagnoses history of Cerebral Ischemia (Insufficient Blood Flow to
the Brain), Apraxia Following Stroke, Parkinsonism, Abnormal Posture, Cancer of the Gastrointestinal Tract,
and Dysphasia, who was admitted to the facility 02/27/2018.
On 10/23/23 at 11:55 AM, V19 (Family Member) stated R26's loose tooth developed last year, and initially
the facility wasn't going to have it pulled; then later was supposed to acquire a dentist, but there was no
follow up to that. V19 stated he is concerned R26's loose tooth could fall out and she could accidentally
swallow it and choke. V19 lifted R26's mouth open to reveal a front upper tooth loose. R26 was physically
impaired, and unable to lift her own head up.
R26's current oral/dental care plan, initiated 06/15/2023, documents she requires assistance and
encouragement from staff with oral hygiene with interventions including discuss oral health concerns with
resident/responsible party; report changes in oral status to physician; monitor effectiveness of
medications/treatments as ordered.
R26's dental consult form, dated 11/10/2022, documents V19 (Family Member) verbally agreed to
extraction when in facility. Director of Nursing signed extraction consent form; patient understands that
extraction of upper front tooth right of midline has been recommended due to not having alternative to
extraction. Form includes both R26's son and dentist's signature.
On 10/25/23 at 1:22 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated once the Dentist comes, the facility relies on the
Dentist to schedule the extraction. V2 stated if the Dentist never schedules the extraction, she doesn't know
what would be the next step, because it's the Dentist's responsibility to schedule the extractions because
they see residents once a month.
On 10/25/23 at 1:49 PM V1 (Administrator) stated some of the Dentists will pull the teeth in the nursing
facility, and if necessary, they will refer residents out to a specialist. V1 stated maybe the Director of Nursing
should have followed up on the recommendation for R26's tooth extraction. V1 stated the Dentist the facility
informed him R26 was not able to stand long enough for the x-rays, which is why they didn't complete the
extraction. V1 stated the Dentist informed V1 they had notified V19 (Family Member) of this. V1 stated if
R26 couldn't stand, the x-ray the facility would ask what the Dentist's recommendation would be for what
would happen next, such as monitoring the tooth. V1 stated if the recommendation would be to monitor the
tooth, the facility would monitor the tooth each day. V1 stated the importance of monitoring R26's tooth
would be prevent ingesting the tooth, developing an infection in the area, or developing any pain in the
area.
The facility's Oral-Dental Care Policy, reviewed 10/25/2023, states:
The purpose is To assess for the presence of absent teeth and state of oral hygiene and need for
