or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the Pressure Ulcer
Prevention Policy by using a flat sheet and draw sheet on an air mattress. This failure affected 1 resident
(R85) of 6 residents reviewed for pressure sores in a total sample of 29.

Findings include:
On 02-14-23 at 12:00 PM, R85, V10 (LPN) and V11 (CNA) verified R85 was laying on air mattress with a
flat sheet, draw sheet, and disposable brief. R85 is nonverbal and unable to make her needs known.

may use incontinent briefs when residents' are incontinent with bowel and bladder. The facility uses one
sheet per manufacturers recommendation to facilitate wound healing. The facility incorporated this in the

only a flat sheet. You may also use a single diaper or incontinence pad. The more layers are more risk for
potential skin breakdown. R85 has an unstageable wound and the facility should use minimal layers on the
air mattress.
On 02/14/23 at 12:00 PM, V10 (LPN) said a resident on an air mattress should be using only a flat sheet.
On 02/14/23 at 12:20 PM, V11 (CNA) said the staff uses flat sheet and draw sheet for residents on an air

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement an appropriate isolation
precaution for one covid-19 positive resident (R73) out of two residents reviewed for covid-19 positive
droplet/contact precautions in a sample of 29. This failure has the potential to affect all the ambulatory
residents, and all the staff that walk pass R73's room.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
On 2/14/2023 at 11:07 AM, surveyor observed with V5 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) that R73's door was
left wide open. R73 is a confirmed COVID-19 positive resident who has a signage on her door that says
isolation: contact and droplets precautions.

On 2/14/2023 at 11:15 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing), said that R73's door should be closed at all times.
On 2/15/2023 at 11:50 AM, surveyor observed with V11 (Registered Nurse), that R73's door was left open.
On 2/15/2023 at 11:50 AM, V11 said that the door should be closed, but added that R73 is non-compliant.
On 2/15/2023 at 02:42 PM, V4 (Infection Preventionist) said R73's door should remain closed except if R73
is at risk for falls.
R73 is an 89 year female with a diagnosis not limited to COVID-19, personal history of COVID-19, and
congestive heart failure.
Review of R73's diagnosis did not indicate that R73 is at risk for fall or has a history of falls to justify leaving
R73's door open.
Review of progress notes dated 2/9/2023 documents: Patient is ambulatory and walks with walker.
R73's room is in the middle of resident's rooms on that wing of the facility. All the ambulatory residents

R73's door.
