Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include: Review of Resident #67's medical record revealed an admission date of 06/01/22. Diagnoses included hemiplegia, right heart failure, and unspecified malnutrition. Review of a wound physician assessment, dated 01/03/24, revealed Resident #67 had moisture associated skin damage (MASD) to the buttocks, which had improved since its development on 12/27/23, and measured 3 centimeters (cm) by 1.5 cm with a depth of 0.2 cm. The assessment called for a treatment of honey alginate (a mesh dressing mixed with honey gel) covered by a foam dressing to be changed daily. Review of a physician order dated 12/27/23 confirmed there was an active order in place for this treatment. Observation of wound care for Resident #67 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #501 on 01/09/24 at 10:45 A.M. revealed she performed the dressing care by washing the wound with normal saline, drying it with gauze, applying Medihoney gel, then a foam dressing. The wound itself appeared consisted of a small pink area with a very small open red area within with no obvious drainage or sign of infection. Observation of the Medihoney gel container revealed no evidence it contained alginate. Interview with LPN #501 on 01/09/24 at 11:01 A.M. confirmed she did not use honey alginate on the wound as ordered. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00149356.
