Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards.
Based on record review, staff interview, and resident observation, the facility failed to maintain accurate medical records for Resident #21. This affected one (Resident #21) out of 24 residents whose medical records were reviewed. The facility census was 81.
Findings include: Review of Resident #21 ' s medical record revealed an admission date of 12/29/23 with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, anxiety disorder, cognitive communication deficit, essential tremor, cerebral infarction (unspecified), history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), history of other diseases of the nervous system, muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and need for assistance with personal care. Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, completed on 01/01/25, documented a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Review of physician orders for Resident #21 revealed an order for honey zinc cream to the buttocks every four hours and with incontinence episodes, with a start date of 09/14/24. Review of progress notes revealed a skin note dated 09/12/24 at 4:09 P.M., documenting that a restorative certified nursing aide (CNA) called a nurse into Resident #21 ' s room to assess a newly identified area on the left buttock. The note described a Stage II (partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed, without slough or bruising. May also present as an intact or open/ ruptured blister) pressure ulcer on the left buttock measuring 3.8 cm x 2.2 cm x 0.1 cm, with blanchable redness to the surrounding area and right buttock. Review of skin assessments showed that weekly skin assessments were completed on 09/23/24, 09/30/24, 10/07/24, 10/14/24, 10/21/24, 10/28/24, 11/04/24, 11/11/24, 11/18/24, 11/25/24, 12/02/24, 12/09/24, 12/16/24, 12/26/24, 12/30/24, 01/09/25, 01/13/25, 01/20/25, and 01/27/25. Each of these assessments documented the Stage II pressure ulcer with the same measurements (3.8 cm x 2.2 cm x 0.1 cm) and described it as a partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis. Interview on 02/05/25 at 2:28 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #169 revealed that Resident #21 ' s pressure ulcer had healed within a few days of its identification in September and was reclassified as Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD) by the week of 09/16/24. RN #169 stated she was unsure why the weekly skin assessments continued to document an active Stage II pressure ulcer. She confirmed that the continued documentation of an unhealed Stage II pressure ulcer in the medical record was inaccurate. Observation on 02/05/25 at 3:00 P.M. by a surveyor confirmed that Resident #21 did not have an active pressure ulcer. The surveyor observed redness on the buttocks, and a nurse applied honey zinc cream per physician orders.
