There was no evidence the right ankle wound dressing was done on 5/9/19 and 5/16/19,"PM" (afternoon) shift; 1b. There was no evidence the wound dressings were done on 6/11/19, "AM" (morning) shift for all three (3) wounds on the left distal leg, on the left anterior (front of the body) leg and on the right malleolus (ankle) with unstageable ulcer. 1c. There was no evidence the wound dressing was done on 7/9/19, AM shift for all three (3) wounds on the left distal leg, on the left anterior (front of the body) leg and on the right malleolus (ankle) with unstageable ulcer. These failures had the potential for bacterial growth to develop and could cause delay in wound healing. 2. Pain Medications were not administered as ordered by the physician when: (a) Two tablets of Oxycodone and Norco (strong opioid pain medications, classified under Controlled Substance II [CS, are drugs that have a high potential for abuse which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence] were given for moderate pain instead of one tablet. Failure to follow medication orders had the potential to place resident's care and safety at risk for harm. (b) Two (2) tablets of Tylenol (also known as Acetaminophen, a pain medication) were administered for moderate pain. The order is to give one Tylenol for mild pain.
