Level of Harm - Minimal harm

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure low air loss mattress devices were on
the correct weight setting for residents who are assessed to be at risk for developing pressure injuries. This
deficient practice affects three (R12, R38 and R43) out of four residents reviewed for pressure injury
prevention and treatment in a final sample of 22 residents. Findings Include:
Residents Affected - Few
R12 is a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted in the facility on 01/01/2025 under hospice care with
diagnoses of not limited to thalassemia minor, generalized muscle weakness and dependence on oxygen.
On 07/22/2025 at 9:55AM during unit rounds, R12 had flat sheet and disposable pad underneath her while
wearing disposable briefs. R12 was lying on low air loss mattress with setting noted at level 7.
On 07/22/2025 at 11:15AM during observation with V5 (Assistant Director of Nursing), R12 was again
noted with flat sheet and disposable pad underneath her while wearing disposable briefs. R12 was again
lying on low air loss mattress with setting noted at level 7.
On 07/22/2025 at 11:16AM during interview with V5, V5 stated that R12 should only have flat sheet and
either disposable brief or pad underneath her. V5 stated that R12's low air loss mattress is from the hospice
company, and they set it up for R12. V5 stated that there is a QR code that can be scanned on top of the
master control unit of the low air loss mattress for instructions on how to navigate the low air loss setting.
After watching the video instruction, V5 changed R12's low air loss mattress setting to 4 and performed the
hand check method as shown in the video instruction.
On 07/22/2025 at 11:21AM during interview with V3 (Wound Nurse), V3 stated that she and her assistant
checks the settings of the low air loss mattress every morning. V3 stated that the setting of the low air loss
mattress is based on the resident' weight, but V3 stated that R12's bed is from hospice and the setting is
different from the facility's low air loss mattress, so she just puts pressure on the low air loss mattress to
check the firmness of the bed.
Review of R12's Order Summary Report dated 07/23/2025 indicated order for low air loss mattress.
Review of R12's Monthly Weight Report indicated that R12's weight was 97.5 lbs.
Review of R12's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk dated 07/08/2025 indicated R12 is
moderate risk.
Review of R12's Wound Physician Notes dated 07/16/2025 indicated R12 was referred for wound consult
as requested by the primary care physician for skin ulcers/lesions at the sacrum. It also indicated that the
stage 2 sacral pressure wound was resolved on 07/16/2025.
Facility's document entitled Rhythm Multi Suggested Weight Guidelines indicated the following:
Please note that the chart below is guideline, not a rule. Because of the different body types, shapes and
height, we recommend using the hand check method to ensure that the pressure setting is optimal, and
that the patient isn't bottoming out.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their ongoing infection surveillance for one of five
residents (R4) reviewed for infection control in a sample of 22. Findings include:R4 is a [AGE] year-old male
admitted in the facility on 05/23/2025 with diagnoses of not limited to benign prostatic hyperplasia without
lower urinary tract symptoms, incontinence without sensory awareness, and Extended-Spectrum
Beta-Lactamase resistance. During record review, R4 had Infection Screening Evaluation dated 07/21/2025
which indicated that R4 presented with urinary frequency and urinary urgency, and Infection Analysis of
Suspected UTI (urinary tract infection) without indwelling catheter. R4's Order Summary Report dated
07/23/2025 indicated R4 is on contact precautions for ESBL (Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase) urine
with order date of 07/21/2025. On 07/23/2025 at 11:50AM during record review with V2 (Interim Director of
Nursing/DON), and V5 (Assistant DON), with V8 (previous DON) on the phone for infection control program,
R4's Progress Notes dated 07/15/2025 indicated that a urinalysis result was relayed to Nurse Practitioner
(NP) with recommendation to wait for the C/S (culture and sensitivity) result. R4's Progress Notes from
07/01/2025 to 07/15/2025 did not indicate any indication for urine testing. R4's electronic health record did
not indicate any assessment or physician notes to indicate the need for urine testing. On 07/23/2025 at
11:50AM during phone interview with V8, V8 stated that the Infection Screening Evaluation is completed
when the resident presents with signs and symptoms of a possible infection. V8 stated that the Infection
Screening Evaluation then appears in their electronic Infection Control Dashboard for the Infection Control
team to monitor the suspected infection. V8 stated that they collect data from staff on any change of
condition or suspected infection through but not limited to morning meetings, Infection Screening Evaluation
form, physician orders, and progress notes. On 07/23/2025 at 11:50AM during interview with V2, V2 stated
that V8 works remotely, and V2 and V5 follow up on the infection control program in-person. V2 stated that
the nurses are expected to document the signs and symptoms R4 was presenting, and the need for the
urine testing somewhere in R4's electronic health record, either on the progress notes or the assessments,
at the time of the observation, the complaint that was made by R4, and/or the urine testing order that was
made. Review of R4's Order Summary Report dated 07/24/2025 indicated R4 has order to collect urine for
UA (urinalysis) and C/S in the morning with order date of 07/14/2025. Review of facility's policy entitled
Infection Prevention and Control Program revised 09/20/2024 indicated the following:Policy: It is the policy
that this facility's Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) is based upon information from the
Facility Assessment and follows national standards and guidelines to prevent, recognize and control the
onset and spread of infection whenever possible. Intent of the Infection Prevention and Control ProgramThe
intent of this regulation is to ensure that the facility:- Establishes facility-wide systems for the prevention,
identification, investigation and control of infections of residents, staff and visitors. It must include an
ongoing system of surveillance designed to identify possible communicable diseases or infections before
they can spread to other persons in the facility and procedures for reporting possible incidents of
communicable diseases or infections; (NOTE: staff includes employees, consultants, contractors,
volunteers, caregivers who provide care and services to residents on behalf of the facility, and students in
the facilities nurse aid training programs or from affiliated academic institutions) Elements of the Program
include:4. Surveillance, including process and outcome surveillance, will include monitoring, data analysis,
documentation and communicable diseases reporting (as required by state and federal law and regulation).
Surveillance activities will be conducted to identify practice, infection trends and early identification of new
infections and potential
