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 review the facility failed to identify, assess, and implement treatment for a pressure ulcer before developing into a stage three pressure ulcer for 1 of 6 residents (R6) reviewed for pressure ulcers in the sample of 17.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include: On 8/5/24 at 10:25 AM, V12 (Wound Licensed Practical Nurse) performed a dressing change to R6's pressure wound to her left buttock. V12 removed the dressing and R6 had a pressure ulcer present measuring 2.6 centimeters (cm) x 1.8 cm x 0.1 cm. R6's Weekly Skin assessment dated [DATE] shows that she has discolored excoriation to her left buttock area. R6's Shower Assessment Sheet dated 7/17/24 shows a circle around her buttock area and it documents, ointment on. On 8/7/24 at 9:07 AM, V15 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) said that she was the CNA that filled out the shower sheet on 7/17/24. V15 said that she circled the buttocks area because there was a dressing on her buttock and wrote ointment on because there was redness around the dressing that she put ointment on. R6's Wound Observation Tool dated 7/19/24 shows that a stage 3 pressure ulcer on her left buttock was identified that measured 1.5 cm x 2 cm x 0.2 cm. No other assessment of the pressure wound were provided prior to 7/19/24. On 8/7/24 at 9:05 AM, V12 said that she saw the open pressure ulcer when she toileted R6 on 7/19/24. V12 said that when she saw it, it was a stage three open pressure ulcer. V12 said that the staff should have told her about the open wound once it happened but no one notified her. V12 said that when the wound was found, she asked the staff why no one reported it to her and she said that every one said that they thought that she already knew about it. The facility's undated Pressure Injury Prevention and Management Policy shows, Licensed nurses will conduct a full body skin assessment on all residents upon admission/re-admission, weekly, and after any newly identified pressure injury. Findings will be documented in the medical record .Nursing assistants will inspect skin during bath and will report any concern to the resident's nurse immediately after the task.
