R1's Wound Summary, dated 4/9/2025 at 1:18 PM, documents Stage 2 pressure ulcer on resident's right
buttocks measured 1.30 centimeters (cm) x 1.8 cm x 0.1 cm. Skin intact with 90% epithelial tissue and 10%
pink or red tissue with scant serosanguineous exudate. The wound summary documents the Stage 2
pressure ulcer date identified was 4/1/2025 and it was present on admission.
On 4/17/2025 at 11:46 AM R1 sat up in a regular wheelchair and stated he has a wound on his butt but
declined observation from survey team.
On 4/18/2025 at 10:22 AM V5, (Licensed Practical Nurse) LPN stated she started as the wound nurse on
4/7/2025. V5 stated they have a lot of agency nurses that work here and they skip the admission
assessment and sometimes document the skin admission in the resident's nurse progress notes if it's not
there she doesn't know where it is. Nurse's document on the resident's TAR that weekly skin assessment
are completed but there is no where in the computer system to document the weekly skin assessment,
some nurse's document the weekly skin assessment in the resident's progress notes. When a resident is
initially admitted to the facility she expects the admission nurse to assess the resident's skin within 2 hours
and to document the skin assessment in the resident's medical record and then she assesses new
admission residents skin within 24 hours of admission to the facility during the week and 72 hours of arrival
if admitted on the weekend. When a resident is initially admitted to the facility the admitting nurse is
expected to do a skin assessment and document all skin abnormalities including wounds and the
documentation should include the location of the wound, measurement and what the wound looked like.
On 4/18/2025 at 11:56 AM V2, DON stated upon initial admission the admitting nurse should document the
resident's skin assessment in the nurse admission assessment or at least document it in the resident's
progress notes. The admission skin assessment should be completed within the same shift the resident is
admitted to the facility and the admitting nurse is expected to document the location of any wounds
including pressure ulcers and to document a description of the wound. If the resident is admitted to the
facility in the morning she expects the wound nurse to assess the resident's skin the same day and if the
resident is admitted in the afternoon she expects the wound nurse to assess the resident's skin the next
day. The admitting nurse is not responsible for documenting the wound measurements, the wound nurse is
responsible for taking a picture of the wound and assessing and documenting the wound measurements.
On 4/1/2025 the facility did a full house skin sweep and that was when she signed off on R1's skin
assessment that documented he had a Stage 2 pressure ulcer on his buttocks. She handed the documents
for the residents that had pressure ulcers to the former wound nurse and she expected her to assess each
resident's pressure ulcer, take a picture of it, document the assessment in the resident's medical record,
notify the physician of the pressure ulcer and get a treatment for it. V2 stated after they found out the former
wound nurse didn't document or assess resident's pressure ulcers after the 4/1/2025 facility skin sweep she
was removed from the wound nurse position and is currently a floor nurse.
On 4/18/2025 at 12:20 PM V4, Regional Nurse stated she knows there are issues with (R1's) pressure
ulcer. The admission skin assessment was completed and there is no skin assessment documented until
4/9/2025. V4 stated her and V1 have discussed these issues in a quality assurance meeting the other day
and they are hiring a admission nurse to do admission assessments which includes a head to toe skin
assessment. V4 stated she doesn't know why (R1's) skin wasn't assessed upon admission the facility but
she is putting corrective measures in place so resident's skin is assessed upon admission from here on out.

assessment will be completed at the time of admission. Resident identified will have a weekly skin
assessment by a licensed nurse. A wound assessment will be initiated and documented in the resident
chart when pressure are identified by licensed nurse. At the earliest sign of a pressure injury the resident,
legal representative, and attending physician will be notified. The initial observation of the ulcer will also be
described in the nursing progress notes. Pressure injuries will be measured at least weekly and recorded in
centimeters in the resident's clinical record. A wound assessment for each identified open area will be
completed and will include site location, size (length x width x depth) stage of pressure ulcer, odor,
drainage, description, date and initials of the individual performing the assessment. The resident's care plan
will be revised as appropriate, to reflect alteration of skin integrity, approaches and goals for care.
