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 and treat pressure wounds for 3 (R1,
R2, and R3) of 4 residents reviewed for pressure wounds in the sample of 6.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. R1's Resident Face Sheet documented an admission date of 10/12/24 with diagnoses including:
extradural and subdural abscess, anorexia, dysphasia, generalized epilepsy, non traumatic intracranial
hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, benign neoplasm of the meninges. R1's 12/9/24 Minimum Data Set (MDS)
documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 5, indicating severe cognitive impairment.
R1's 12/9/24 MDS section M documented R1 was at risk to develop pressure ulcers/ injuries and R1 had 1
or more unhealed pressure ulcers/ injuries.
R1's 12/6/25 admission Observation documented in part . Alterations in Skin . MASD- Moisture- Associated
Skin Damage Describe each skin integrity condition checked in detail . right buttock, redness, and two open
areas 1.0 cm long x 0.5 wide .
On 1/30/25 at 12:16 PM, V4 (Registered Nurse/ RN) said she completed R1's skin assessment on 12/6/24
when R1 returned from the hospital. V4 said R1 had open wounds to his sacrum and V4 documented it in
her assessment. V4 said when a resident has a new wound staff are supposed to take a picture of the
wound and upload it into the electronic communication system for the medical providers to give treatment
orders. V4 said she did not recall if she had notified the medical provider of R1's new wounds and V4 said
she did not know how to upload pictures in the electronic communication system. V4 said she did not recall
if she had notified V3 (Wound Nurse/ Licensed Practical Nurse) or V2 (Director of Nursing/ DON) of R1's
new wounds. V4 said after she had documented R1's new wounds she had not noticed that no treatments
were ordered for R1 during her shifts post discovery. V4 said she did not recall if she had notified R1's
family on R1's wounds on 12/6/24 and could not recall if R1's family had asked if R1 had any wounds.
On 1/30/25 at 12:16 PM, V3 said she was not notified of R1 having any wounds by any staff until 12/25/25.
V3 said prior to V5 (Wound Physician) arriving at the facility every week V3 will speak to the floor nurses to
ask if any resident has any new wounds V5 needs to assess. V3 said if the nurses don't tell her of any new
wounds the only other way she would be notified was if the nurse made a new event in the resident's
Electronic Medical Record (EMR). V3 said no event had been opened on 12/6/24 for R1. V3 said no wound
treatments had been completed for R1 until 12/25/24 when he was seen by V5.
On 1/29/25 at 3:10 PM, V5 said he was not made aware of R1's wounds until 12/25/24 when he arrived

treatment would be Dakin's solution for odor control. V5 said if he had been notified on 12/6/24 when they
were discovered he would have ordered Dakin's Solution but the treatment would not have changed the

when he arrived in the facility to make rounds if it was found the day before he was to arrive to make

V3 when V5 was rounding and V3 answered yes. V3 was asked why she did not put the orders in the EMR
after rounding with V5 and V3 answered it was possible V5 would give a verbal order that was different than

not send his notes for 2 to 3 days after rounding and would those residents not receive wound treatments,
V3 answered she would call V5 to ask him to send his notes but was not sure if the residents would receive
wound treatments due to no orders being in the resident's EMR. V3 said she was not sure why R2's 1/22/25
wound treatment orders had not been placed in R2's EMR. V3 said R2 did not have any wound treatments
completed from R2 admission on [DATE] through 1/28/25.
