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 identify two areas of pressure until becoming unstageable.
This failure resulted in one of the wounds requiring debridement and becoming a stage 4 pressure ulcer.
This applies to one of three residents (R1) reviewed for pressure in the sample of three.The findings
include:The facility face sheet shows R1 to have diagnoses to include Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, peripheral
vascular disease, stage three pressure ulcer of left buttock and stage four pressure ulcer of the right
buttock. The facility assessment dated [DATE] shows R1 to be cognitively intact and requires moderate
assistance with his personal hygiene. The Physician Order Record (MAR) shows an order dated 2/3/2025
for a skin check to be completed two times per week.The wound assessment details report dated
4/19/2025 shows a new area of pressure was identified to R1's left buttock measuring 4 by 2.25 by 0.25
centimeters (CM) and was listed as unstageable and facility acquired. A second wound assessment details
report dated 4/19/2025 shows another area of pressure was identified to R1's right buttock measuring 6.5
by 6 by 0.25 CM with soft necrotic (dead tissue) present and was listed as unstageable and facility
acquired.The wound evaluation and management summary dated 4/23/2025 completed by the wound care
Physician shows R1 to have two new areas of pressure to his left and right buttock. The right buttock wound
was debrided by the Physician and a note was added showing [the previously unstageable necrotic wound
has revealed the underlying deep tissue at the muscle/fascia level which had been obscured by necrosis
prior to this point. This wound has now revealed itself to be a stage four pressure injury.] The wound
measures 6.7 by 7.8 by 1.9 CM. The same summary shows the left buttock to have a stage three pressure
injury measuring 3.2 by 2.6 by 0.1 CM.On 9/11/2025 at 12:00 PM, V3 Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)
said she was the nurse who was first alerted by staff that R1 had new sores to his buttocks. V3 said R1
always wanted to sit up in his wheelchair and would use the bed pan in his wheelchair to have a bowel
movement. R1 would sit on the bed pan for long periods of time and when he was done, he would lift up
and the staff would help him to wipe. V3 said the staff would not have been able to see the skin to R1's
buttocks this way. V3 said R1 refused showers and would sit up all day and only get into bed late at night.
V3 said the new pressure ulcers should have been found before becoming a stage three and a stage
four.On 9/11/2025 at 4:00 PM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) said the purpose of skin checks are to check
the skin for redness, ulcers and to check the healing of any skin issues. V2 said the staff providing care for
R1 are the ones responsible for doing the skin checks.On 9/11/2025 at 2:30 PM, V4 Wound Care Physician
said The reason he has the pressure ulcer is due to the fact he is always up. He refuses to lie in bed. Plus,
he has so much pain to his hips and it's worse during transfers, so he is reluctant to move much. Certainly,
when he is cleaned up after using the bathroom the staff could have seen changes to his skin. I can't say
they should have seen it or how quickly a wound can become necrotic. If you look at my notes, you will see
the wound was very advanced when I first saw it. Every time I am there and see him, he is up in his
