Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, observation, staff and resident interviews, review of facility policy and review of guidelines
from the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), the facility failed to adequately assess residents'
skin, initiate prompt and timely treatment for residents' with pressure ulcers (a pressure ulcer is a localized
injury of the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or
pressure in combination with shear and/or friction), provide ongoing monitoring of pressure ulcers and
failed to timely implement physician ordered interventions to prevent the development of pressure ulcers
and/or aid in the healing of existing pressure ulcers. This resulted in Actual Harm when two Residents (#75
and #05) were admitted to the facility without pressure ulcers but were at risk for the development of
pressure ulcers and subsequently developed avoidable, facility acquired pressure ulcers which were not
identified until they had reached an advanced stage. Resident #75 developed a pressure ulcer on 06/04/24
which was first identified as a stage III (full-thickness skin loss in which adipose [fat] is visible) pressure
ulcer on his right heel. Resident #75 developed another pressure ulcer on 08/20/24 which was first
identified as a stage III pressure ulcer on his right flank. Resident #75 developed a third avoidable pressure
ulcer on 09/11/24 which was first identified as a stage III pressure ulcer on the resident's sacrum.
Additionally, Resident #05 was noted with skin breakdown by the licensed nurses on 07/13/24 and
07/16/24, and was not evaluated by the wound physician until 07/30/24 when Wound Care Physician
(WCP) #198 diagnosed the resident with a stage III pressure ulcer on the resident's sacrum. This affected
two (#75 and #05) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility identified six residents with
pressure ulcers. The facility census was 84.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1) Review of the medical record for Resident #75 revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses
included dementia, chronic kidney disease stage IV, diabetes mellitus type II and protein-calorie
malnutrition.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #75, revealed the
resident was cognitively impaired, was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs), Section M
(Skin Conditions) revealed Resident #75 did not have a pressure ulcer/injury, was at risk of developing
pressure ulcers/injuries and needed pressure relieving devices for the chair and bed.
Review of the medical record for Resident #75 from 03/05/24 through 06/01/24, revealed no documentation
of a plan of care, any skin risk assessments completed, and physician or Non-Physician Provider (NPP)
visits completed for the resident.
Review of a nurse progress note dated 06/01/24 for Resident #75 and authored by Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) #410, revealed the resident had an area to the right heel measuring 7 centimeters (cm) in
length by 4 cm in width by no depth. The area was dark brown in color and the surrounding tissue was red
and blanchable with no warmth. The Medical Director (MD) #199 and Wound Care Nurse (WCN) #490 were
notified. An order was received to apply skin prep to the resident's right heel two times a day and the doctor
would be in on Monday. WCN #490 relayed the resident would be placed on the next weekly wound
physician rounds. Treatment was applied, the resident was repositioned, and the family was notified.

verified there was no documented evidence Resident #75 had been evaluated by therapy for the off-loading
needs.
Follow-up interview with the Interim DON on 12/04/24 at 4:42 P.M., verified Resident #75 was ordered to
have a therapy consultation for off-loading needs on 08/20/24 by WCP #198. Interim DON verified the
facility did not have any therapy records for Resident #75 prior to the 11/11/24 transition because the
therapy records did not transition over to the new therapy provider. The Interim DON stated the facility
recently parted ways with WCP #198 due to several issues and it was not an amicable departure.
2) Review of the medical record for Resident #05 revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE]. The
resident was discharged to the hospital on [DATE] and readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses

on the coccyx. RN #397 stated he had no recollection of the resident's wounds.
Review of the facility policy titled, Skin Condition Assessment and Monitoring-Pressure and Non-Pressure,
last updated October 2024, revealed the purpose of the policy is to establish guidelines for assessing,
monitoring and documenting the presence of skin breakdown, pressure injuries and other non-pressure
skin conditions and assuring interventions are implemented. Guidelines include pressure and other ulcers
(diabetic, arterial, venous) will be assessed and measured at least weekly by licensed nurse and
documented in the resident's clinical record. The facility policy also states that residents identified will have
a weekly skin assessment completed by a licensed nurse.
Review of the NPIAP, 2019 edition, pages 75 to 81, indicate skin and soft tissue assessment is the basis of
pressure injury prevention and treatment. Skin and tissue assessment is an essential component of any
pressure injury risk assessment and should be conducted as soon as possible after admission, as a
component of a full risk assessment (see the guideline chapter on Risk Factors and Risk Assessment).
Each time the individual's clinical condition changes, a comprehensive skin and tissue assessment should
be conducted to identify any alterations to skin characteristics or integrity, and to identify any new pressure
injury risk factors. Finally, a comprehensive skin and soft tissue assessment should be conducted on
discharge, to ensure that an appropriate pressure injury prevention and treatment plan is in place. A
comprehensive skin and soft tissue assessment consists of a head-to-toe assessment with particular focus
on skin overlying bony prominence's including the sacrum, ischial tuberosities, greater trochanters and
heels. In addition to comprehensive skin assessment, a brief skin assessment of the pressure points should
be undertaken during repositioning. Check the pressure points on which the individual has been positioned
to identify any alterations in condition and to evaluate the effectiveness of the repositioning regimen.
Presence of persistent erythema can indicate a need to increase frequency of repositioning. Check
pressure points onto which the individual will be repositioned to ensure that the skin and tissue has fully
recovered from previous loading. The NPIAP Pressure Injury Stages, revealed if necrotic tissue,
subcutaneous tissue, granulation tissue, fascia, muscle, or other underlying structures are visible, this
indicates a full thickness pressure injury (Unstageable, Stage 3 or Stage 4).

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, staff interview, resident interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure food was
served warm and palatable. This had the potential to affect all but two Residents (#32 and #75) who did not
receive food from the facility's kitchen. The facility census was 84.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of the medical record revealed Resident #73 was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included
hypertension, osteoarthritis, unspecified dementia, peripheral vascular disease and protein-calorie
malnutrition.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) quarterly assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #73 had
intact cognition and was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The resident required no assistance with
eating.
Review of the dinner menu for 11/04/24 revealed the residents received chili mac, cornbread, salad and
peaches.
Observation of meal line service on 11/04/24 from 4:55 P.M. to 5:11 P.M., revealed the dinner meal
consisted of chili mac, cornbread, salad, green beans, and carrots. Cooking temperatures obtained at this
time by using a facility thermometer reveled the chili mac was at 190 degrees Fahrenheit, cornbread at 140
degrees Fahrenheit, green beans at 181 degrees Fahrenheit and carrots at 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Food
and beverage items prepared for this meal were confirmed to be consistent with the printed menu. Further
observation continued as dietary staff plated the dinner meal from a steam table in the kitchen. As the tray
line neared an end, the surveyor requested a test tray be prepared and placed on the Fountains nursing
unit food cart. Observation was made as the test tray was prepared, placed on the cart at 5:11 P.M., and
transported by Dietary Aide #605 to the Fountains nursing unit where it arrived at 5:13 P.M. The test tray
remained on the cart in view of the surveyor, until all other trays were distributed to residents. The test tray
was removed from the cart at 5:36 P.M. by Dietary Manager #600 who used a facility thermometer that
confirmed the temperatures of the chili mac, cornbread, and milk. The chili mac was 96 degrees Fahrenheit,
cornbread 92 degrees Fahrenheit and milk 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Dietary Manager #600 verified the test
tray temperatures and the surveyor and Dietary Manager #600 taste-tested the chili mac and cornbread
which were found to be at an unsatisfactory temperature, bland in taste and presentation of food items on
the plate was not pleasing to the eye. Dietary Manager #600 verified the chili mac and cornbread were not
hot by the time the test tray was served, and the plating was not pleasing to the eye.
Interview on 11/04/24 from 5:50 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. with Residents #50, #73 and #18 verified their chili mac
was cold and bland.
