F 0686 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.

Measurements were 2.7 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.7 cm in width by 0.1 cm in depth and minimal exudate (drainage) was present with no signs or symptoms of infection. WCP #198 gave orders for daily treatment of the wound and recommended the use of a low air loss (LAL) mattress and consult with physical therapy/occupational therapy for wound offloading needs of the resident's heels while in a wheelchair. Review of a physician order in the electronic medical record (EMR) dated 06/14/24 for Resident #75 by MD #199, revealed an order for Resident #75 to have an LAL mattress.

The MAR and TAR revealed no documented evidence that the heel protectors ordered on 06/03/24 and the LAL mattress ordered on 06/14/24 were ever implemented. Review of the weekly wound round visits by WCP #198, revealed Resident #75 was not assessed again by WCP #198 until 08/20/24, when the resident was evaluated for a newly acquired pressure ulcer.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview via phone with RN #397 on 12/03/24 at 2:28 P.M. verified there was no documented evidence that the physician or the facility administration was notified when he observed Resident #05's skin breakdown 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).
