Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. On 2/1/23
at 9:18 AM, R26 was sitting in his wheelchair propelling himself in the hall. At 9:33 AM, R26 was assisted to
bed by V5 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) to provide catheter care. R26 had a dressing in place to his
coccyx.
Residents Affected - Few
The Nurse's Note dated 1/4/23 for R26 showed, Resident has a new skin open on coccyx or sacrum,
dressing applied
The Weekly Wound Documentation dated 1/5/23 for showed R26 had a facility acquired pressure ulcer that
was identified on 1/4/23 and was a stage III when it was identified. The sacral pressure ulcer had a large
amount of pink granulation tissue present and was 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 1 cm in size. The peri wound had
maceration. This was documented as the initial assessment and was completed by the wound nurse
practitioner.
On 2/2/23 at 11:16 AM, V6 RN (Registered Nurse) stated, The nurses and aides monitor residents skin.
The nurses are supposed to do skin assessments every week. Aides monitor the resident's skin with every
shower and monitor the perineal area every time they change the resident. They are to notify us
immediately if there is any skin problem.
On 2/2/23 at 11:25 AM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated that R26 is a resident that is usually up in his
wheelchair and doesn't have any behaviors. V2 reviewed R26's electronic medical record and stated, On
1/4/23 he had a new open area to coccyx. On 1/5/23 the wound nurse practitioner staged it as a stage 3. V2
stated R26's wound should not have become a stage III before it was found. V2 stated pressure injuries are
to be identified at a stage 1. V2 stated she did not know why R26 developed the pressure injury and the
only thing she could think of is that R26 had COVID and was in bed more.
R26's admission Record printed on 2/2/23 showed diagnoses including dementia, COVID-19, metabolic
encephalopathy, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, long term use of anticoagulants,
and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
R26's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 1/18/23 showed severe cognitive impairment; extensive assistance
needed for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
The facility's Pressure Injury Prevention and Management policy (10/2022) showed, The facility shall
establish and utilize a systematic approach for pressure injury prevention and management, including
prompt assessment and treatment; intervening to stabilize, reduce or remove underlying risk factors;
monitoring the impact of the interventions; and modifying interventions as appropriate.

Residents Affected - Few
Evidence-based interventions for prevention will be implemented for all residents who are assessed at risk
or who have pressure injury present. Basic or routine care interventions could include but are not limited to:
redistribute pressure (such as repositioning, protecting and/or offloading heels, etc.).
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement pressure relieving
interventions for a resident at risk for pressure and failed to identify pressure injuries prior to becoming
unstageable for 2 of 5 residents (R15, R26) reviewed for pressure in the sample of 15.
The findings include:
1. R15's face sheet showed a [AGE] year-old female with diagnosis of dementia, chronic kidney disease,
hypertension, and (12/10/22) palliative care.
On 1/31/23 at 12:07 PM, R15 was in the dining room in a high back reclining chair. R15's feet were
dangling unsupported, and her heels were resting against the chair's footrest. R15 had lilac-colored socks
on and no heel/foot protectors.
At 02:31 PM, R15 was lying supine in bed. R15 had white booty socks on, and her heels and feet were in
contact with the mattress. There was a foot cradle at the foot of R15's bed. R15's sheet and blanket were
under the cradle allowing the linens to rest directly on the resident. R15 was not wearing any pressure
relieving devices to her feet.
On 02/02/23 at 12:48 PM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) said the foot cradle should have the blankets and
covers over the top and not on the feet. She (R15) should have boots on and not have heels on the bed. In
the high back reclining chair, she should still have her boots on to protect her feet. The bottom of the chair
is only a leather strap and bars. I cannot really say how she acquired the 5 wounds at the same time. I do
not know why they were identified like that; she did have weekly skin checks.
R15's 1/31/23 skin check note showed right heel had a new opening sore and the left big toe had darkened
marks on the tip of the toes.
R15's 12/21/22 3:08 AM note showed her skin was intact with darkness marks on tip of the toes noted.
R15's 12/21/22 9:30 PM nurse note showed five areas of unblanchable erythema noted. The left heel area
measured 1.7 centimeters (cm) X 1.5 cm. The first toe on left foot wound measured 0.7 cm X 0.8 cm. The
second toe on the left foot wound measured 0.4 cm X 0.4 cm. The right medial foot wound measured 1.5
cm X 1.7 cm. The right heel wound measured 2.5 cm X 1 cm.
The facility's current wound document received 1/31/23 showed R15's wounds as: Stage 2 Right toe healed
1/5/23. Acquired 12/21/22. Unstageable left great toe 08. X 0.8 X UTD (unable to determine). Acquired
12/21/22 .Cleanse with NS (normal saline). Apply betadine and leave OTA (open to air) 3 times weekly. DTI
(deep tissue injury)- Right medial lateral foot 1.3 X 1 X 0 acquired 12/21/22. Apply skin prep everyday shift
3 times a week. DTI Right heel 2 X 2 X 0 acquired 12/21/22. Apply skin prep everyday shift 3 X weekly. DTI
left heel 2.0 X 1.5 X 0 Acquired 12/21/22. Apply skin prep everyday shift 3 X weekly

R15's skin integrity care plan showed she needs staff assistance for activities of daily living, heel lift
suspension boots at all times when in bed, heel lift boots at all times when in bed, and foot cradle to protect
feet from pressure from blankets. This care plan showed the following wounds: 2/26/22 unstageable on
sacrum-resolved, 12/21/22 right third toe stage 2 (healed), 12/21/22 right medial foot DTI, 12/21/22 right
calcaneus heel DTI, 12/21/22 left calcaneus heel DTI, 12/21/22 left great toe unstageable.
Residents Affected - Few
R15's physician order sheet showed a 10/4/22 order for a foot cradle and a 12/22/22 order for heel lift boots
on at all times when in bed for skin protection.
R15's 11/7/22 pressure risk assessment showed a high risk for developing a pressure injury.
R15's 12/19/22 facility assessment showed R15 had severe cognitive impairment, required extensive
assistance of two plus persons physical assist for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, and toilet use.
The facility's 10/22/22 Pressure Injury Prevention and Management Policy showed the facility is committed
to the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries, provide treatment and services to heal the pressure
ulcer/injury, and prevent the development of additional pressure ulcer/injuries. The facility shall establish
and utilize a systematic approach for pressure injury prevention and management, including prompt
assessment and treatment; intervening to stabilize, reduce or remove underlying risk factors; monitoring the
impact of the interventions; and modifying the interventions as appropriate. After completing a thorough
assessment/evaluation, the interdisciplinary team shall develop a relevant care plan that includes
measurable goals for prevention for prevention and management of pressure injuries with appropriate
interventions. Evidence based interventions for prevention will be implemented for all residents who are
assessed at risk or who have pressure injury present. The RN unit manager, or designee will review
compliance ate least weekly. Interventions on a resident's plan of care will be modified as needed.
Considerations for needed modifications include new onset or recurrent pressure injury development and
lack of progress towards healing.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure preventative measures for falls were in
place for a resident with a history of falls for 1 of 3 residents (R44) reviewed for falls in the sample of 15.
The findings include:
The Nurse's Notes dated 1/18/23 for R44 did not show any documentation of a fall. On 1/20/23 the Nurse's
Notes for R44 showed, Resident remains on fall follow up, no new injuries noted, neuro-checks in progress.
Left stump dressing clean and intact, no signs/symptoms of infection noted at this time.
R44's Care Plan with an initiation date of 12/15/22 showed she is at risk for falls related to her confusion,
deconditioning, gait/balance problems, dementia, and a new right below knee amputation. The care plan
showed on 1/18/23, R44 had a fall out of her wheelchair in her room. The interventions put in place after the
fall were to apply a foot rest to her wheelchair for her left leg use and non-slide material to her wheelchair.
The Nurse's Notes dated 1/28/23 for R44 showed, Resident leaned forward in her wheelchair and fell head
first onto the floor and rolled onto left side. Laceration above left eye with moderate bleeding. Held pressure
until bleeding was staunched to evaluate. Cleansed with normal saline and 3 steri strips were applied to
wound with a pressure bandage. Pupils are sluggish and right pupil is elongated. Resident is responsive but
has a flat affect and slow to react. 911 was called.
R44's Care Plan with an initiation date of 12/15/22 showed she is at risk for falls related to her confusion,
deconditioning, gait/balance problems, dementia, and a new right below knee amputation. The care plan
showed on 1/28/23 R44 leaned forward in her wheelchair, fell out of the wheelchair onto her right side and
sustained a laceration above her left eye. The intervention that was put in place after the fall was to have
therapy evaluate her sitting balance.
On 1/31/23 at 11:39 AM, R44 was leaning to the left while sitting in a regular wheelchair at the dining room
table. R44 did not have a foot rest in place for her left foot and had a right below knee amputation. R44 did
not have a grip sock on her left foot.
On 2/1/23 at 12:49 PM, V5 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated she is sure fall interventions for
resident's are written somewhere. V5 stated the resident has a [NAME] in the electronic medical record and
the fall interventions should be on the [NAME]. V5 stated staff have access to the [NAME].
On 2/1/23 at 12:59 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated on 1/18/23, R44 had a fall so a nonskid mat
was added to her chair and a foot rest for her left leg. V2 stated on 1/28/23, R44 fell out of her wheelchair
because R44's sitting balance was off due to her recent right below knee amputation. V2 stated she asked
therapy to evaluate R44 and they recommended changing her wheelchair to a high-backed wheelchair. V2
stated the interventions should be in place for R44 including the foot rest and high-backed wheelchair. V2
stated interventions are documented in a book and on the resident's [NAME]. V2 stated the [NAME] is in
the resident's electronic medical record.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the residents catheter tubing
was anchored and kept off the floor for 2 of 2 residents (R26, R44) reviewed for catheters in the sample of
15.
The findings include:
1. On 1/31/23 at 11:39 AM, R44 was leaning to the left while sitting in a regular wheelchair at the dining
room table. R44 had an indwelling urinary catheter with a drainage bag with a dignity cover around it. The
drainage bag was partially on the floor. R44's catheter tubing was on the floor and her left foot was touching
the top of the tubing.
On 2/1/23 at 12:59 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated catheter tubing should not be on the floor
because it is an infection control issue.
The Physician Orders for R44 showed an order dated 1/23/23 to do a bladder scan every 6 hours and if the
post void residual is > 250 ml then straight catheter x 1. If the second post void residual is > 250 ml,
the catheter is to be re-inserted.
On 2/2/23 at 9:56 AM, V2 DON stated, R44 came to us with a catheter from the hospital after a right below
knee amputation. V2 stated there was an order placed on 1/23/23 for R44 to have her indwelling urinary
catheter discontinued and for post void residuals to be done. V2 stated the nurse practitioner noticed the
order but did not schedule the order so it was not completed until the order was changed. V2 stated R44's
catheter should have been discontinued on 1/23/23. V2 stated she had to change the order and enter an
order for the catheter to be discontinued on 1/30/23. V2 stated R44's care plan was never updated to show
she had an indwelling urinary catheter and it should have been updated.
The facility's Catheter Care policy (10/20/22) showed leg drainage bags are to be placed on a resident
during the day and straps are to be snug but not tight. There were no procedures in the policy for keeping
catheter tubing off the floor or ensuring the tubing was free of any obstruction.
R44's admission Record printed on 2/1/23 showed diagnoses including dementia, cognitive communication
deficit, retention of urine, and need for assistance with personal care.
R44's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 1/22/23 showed severe cognitive impairment; extensive assistance
needed for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, eating, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
2. On 2/1/23 at 9:18 AM, R26 was propelling his wheelchair in the hall. R26 had an indwelling urinary
catheter and some of the tubing was dragging on the floor under his wheelchair. The observation was
pointed out to V5 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) who agreed R26's catheter tubing should not be on the
floor.
On 2/1/23 at 9:33 AM, R26 was taken to his room by V5 CNA for catheter care. R26 transferred to bed and
V5 took the drainage bag from the dignity bag and laid it on the resident's bed. V5 pulled R26's pants down
and R26 had a hook and loop strap to his right leg with the catheter tubing attached to it. The hook and loop
strap was extremely loose and not anchoring the catheter tubing. V5 stated

R26's dressing to the suprapubic catheter site is changed by the nurse. V5 stated the hook and loop strap
around R26's right leg was too loose and the catheter tubing was pulling. V5 stated R26 walks sometimes
and it is important that the catheter tubing is secured because if it is not done right the tubing will tug.
On 2/1/23 at 12:59 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated catheter tubing should not be on the floor
because it is an infection control issue. V2 stated there are a lot of germs on the floor. V2 stated catheter
tubing should be secured so the tubing doesn't have any pulling that can cause damage to the urethra.
The Physician Narrative Progress Note dated 12/27/22 for R26 showed he had been sick with MRSA
(methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) urinary tract infection in October 2022.
R26's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 1/18/23 showed severe cognitive impairment; extensive assistance
needed for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene.
The Physician Narrative Progress Note dated 1/23/23 for R26 showed diagnoses including dementia,
chronic kidney disease stage II, type 2 diabetes, metabolic encephalopathy, obstructive and reflux uropathy.
R26's Care Plan dated 1/26/23 showed, R26 has a supra-pubic catheter with a diagnosis of obstructive
uropathy. The care plan did not have any interventions in place for keeping the catheter tubing off of the
floor and keeping the catheter tubing secured.
The facility's Catheter Care policy (10/20/22) showed leg drainage bags are to be placed on a resident
during the day and straps are to be snug but not tight. There were no procedures in the policy for keeping
catheter tubing off the floor, keeping the drainage bag off the bed/contact surfaces, and anchoring of the
catheter tubing.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to administer oxygen to a resident as ordered for
1 of 1 resident (R48) reviewed for oxygen in the sample of 15.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
R48's face sheet showed an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R48's diagnosis
included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, need for assistance with personal care, fractured right
femur, and polyarthritis.
On 01/31/23 at 11:34 AM, V3 Registered Nurse (RN) and V4 wound nurse practitioner provided wound care
for R48. V3 and V4 were in the room for at least 15 minutes and did not notice R48's oxygen was not on.
R48's unlabeled oxygen tubing was on the floor. After wound care was provided, R48 asked V3 to get her
another nasal cannula (nc) as hers was on the floor.
At 12:00 PM, this surveyor went to check on R48. R48 had a nc in her nostrils but the end of the tubing was
not connected to the oxygen concentrator.
On 2/1/23, R48 was in her room in a wheelchair. R48 was sitting on her unlabeled oxygen tubing and the
portable oxygen tank attached to the chair was empty.
R48 said she was exhausted and didn't want to go to therapy today. V8, therapy entered the room and
confirmed the oxygen tank was empty.
On 02/02/23 at 12:48 PM, V2 Director of Nursing (DON) said I would expect someone with a continuous
order for oxygen to have it on all the time. If the nasal cannula (nc) is on the floor it should be changed out
and dated. All tubing should be dated and changed every Sunday on the night shift. As far as tanks and
portable oxygen, it is the nurse's responsibility to change them when empty. The tanks should be checked
by the aides as well to ensure they are not in the red and close to empty.
R48's physician order sheet showed a 1/20/23 order for oxygen 2-4 liters per nc continuously.
R48's care plan had no mention of oxygen administration.
R48's 1/11/23 facility assessment showed she was cognitively intact and required extensive assistance of
one-person physical assistance for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, and personal hygiene. This
surveyor requested a copy of the assessment regarding oxygen and that page was not received.
The facility's 12/2022 Oxygen Administration Policy showed oxygen is administered to residents who need
it, consistent with professional standards of practice. Oxygen is administered under orders of a physician.
The resident's care plan shall identify the interventions for oxygen therapy, based upon the resident's
assessment and orders.
