there were missing documentation in the treatment records for 12/2024, 01/2025, and 02/2025's dressing
changes for both her right and left buttock wounds and the wound vac.
Interview on 02/20/25 at 12:30 P.M. with the Physician revealed the primary physician stated due to
Resident #2's chronic medical conditions she would always be prone to having pressure ulcers. Per the
Physician, all staff are to be careful with transfers and to report any changes in the resident's skin. The
Physician stated the resident's wounds are being managed by an outside provider but stated he believed all
the treatments were appropriate and to be completed by the nursing staff.
Interview on 02/20/25 at 2:50 P.M. with LPN #100 revealed after Resident #2 returned from her wound clinic
appointment on 12/09/24 she and the previous DON assessed the resident's right buttock. LPN #100 stated
she felt the wound was Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD) and not a pressure ulcer. LPN #100
stated the previous DON contacted the primary physician for orders for the dressing care for the right
buttock before the wound clinic had sent their orders to the facility. LPN #100 verified she had documented
on the resident's left buttock the day after she returned from the wound clinic but could not recall the right
buttock's condition of wound during her assessment.
Review of the facility policy titled, Skin Care Managment, dated 11/17/22 revealed the facility staff is to
provide care for all skin breakdown to promote healing the pressure ulcers.
