This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the prescribed wound treatment was provided to a resident with stage 4 pressure ulcer. This applies to 1 of 3 (R4) residents reviewed for wounds in the sample of 5. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: On 4/14/25 at 10:55 AM, R4 was observed lying in bed. On 4/14/25 at 10:24 AM, V2 (DON) said she was informed R4's packing strips for his wound treatment were running low on Thursday (4/10/25). She placed the order for the gauze packing strips (iodoform) and deliveries come on Thursday. She asked V4 (Wound Nurse) the wound nurse to call the physician to obtain new orders to pack the wound. V2 said she does not know if V4 obtained new treatment orders and they do not have an inventory process for supplies. On 4/14/25 at 10:52 AM, V4 (Wound Nurse) said the floor nurses provide the wound treatments and she rounds with the wound physician. V4 said they have packing strips for R4's wound. This surveyor and V4 checked the wound treatment cart. The treatment cart did not not have R4's gauze packing strips (iodoform). V4 checked the nursing supply room, there were no gauze packing strips found. V4 stated, we must be out then. Nursing should report when they are low on supplies and the wound physician should be notified to obtain new wound treatment orders. V4 confirmed she did not contact the wound physician for new treatment orders. On 4/14/25 at 10:55 AM, V5 (LPN-Licensed Practical Nurse) said she changed R4's wound dressing today. She did not use the gauze packing strips because they did not have any. V4 told me to use alginate 4x4 dressing for the packing. Is there something wrong. They have been out of the packing strips for several days. She usually works nights and is not familiar how the process works for re-ordering supplies. R4's Wound Physician Progress notes dated 3/28/25 shows R4 has a stage 4 pressure ulcer to the left ischium full thickness measuring 0.4 cm (centimeters) x 0.2 cm x 2.2 cm with undermining 1.8 cm at 7 o'clock with light serous drainage. R4's Physician Order Sheets shows orders to wound site left ishium-cleanse area with dakins 0.125%, apply skin prep to peri wound, pack wound with iodoform 5% packing strips, apply zinc oxide to excoriated peri wound and cover with bordered gauze. The facility's Vendor Invoice form shows order placed on 4/14/25 for gauze packing strips.
