F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review, resident representative interview, staff interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to notify the resident's representative of the onset of two new unstageable pressure ulcers (slough and/or eschar: known but not stageable due to coverage of wound bed by slough and/or eschar). This affected one (Resident #106) of three residents reviewed for notification of change in condition. The facility census was 104. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #106 revealed an original admission date of 02/19/18. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus (DM), vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #106 was cognitively impaired and was coded negative for the presence of pressure ulcers. The MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #106 was coded for the presence of two unstageable pressure ulcers which were not present upon admission to the facility. Review of the power of attorney (POA) paperwork revealed Resident #106 had designated Resident Representative (RR) #610 to serve as her durable POA for healthcare on 12/19/14. Review of the nursing progress note dated 05/18/23 revealed Resident #106 had an open area to her upper right thigh and all parties were made aware of the new area. Review of the wound nurse practitioner (NP) note dated 05/24/23 revealed the NP assessed Resident #106 for new unstageable pressure ulcers to the sacrum and right buttock. The unstageable pressure area to the sacrum measured eight centimeters (cm) in length by four cm in width by 0.1 cm in depth and had 25-59 percent (%) slough noted to the wound bed. The unstageable pressure ulcer to the right buttock measured five cm in length by 2.5 cm in width by 0.2 cm in depth and had one to 24 % slough and one to 24 % eschar noted to the wound bed. Review of the nurse progress notes for Resident #106 dated 05/24/23 to 06/01/23 revealed there was no documentation of notification to Resident #106's representative, RR #610, of the newly developed unstageable pressure ulcers to the resident's sacrum and buttocks. The nurse progress note dated 06/01/23 revealed Resident #106 was sent to the hospital for altered mental status and was admitted to the hospital.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of the medical record for Resident #106 dated 05/18/23 to 05/24/23 revealed there was no documentation of follow up assessment of the resident's skin either in the nursing notes or the assessments section of the electronic medical record to determine the classification of the open area to resident's skin noted by agency LPN #620 on 05/18/23. Review of the wound nurse practitioner (NP) note dated 05/24/23 revealed NP assessed Resident #106 for new unstageable pressure ulcers to the sacrum and right buttock. The unstageable pressure area to the sacrum measured eight centimeters (cm) in length by four cm in width by 0.1 cm in depth and had 25-59 percent (%) slough noted to the wound bed. The unstageable pressure ulcer to the right buttock measured five cm in length by 2.5 cm in width by 0.2 cm in depth and had one to 24% slough and one to 24% eschar noted to the wound bed. Review of the provider note per NP working with Resident #106's attending physician dated 05/23/23 revealed resident's skin was warm, dry, and intact. Interview on 07/18/23 at 3:30 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed LPN #620 identified a red open area to resident's upper thigh on 05/18/23. The DON further confirmed she had never visualized Resident #106's wounds and that she did not look at wounds. The DON confirmed none of the facility nurses had recorded an assessment of Resident #106's skin as a follow up to LPN #620's concerns identified on 05/18/23. The outside wound NP employed by the facility assessed the resident's skin on 05/24/23. The DON confirmed on 05/24/23 wound NP #625 identified unstageable pressure ulcers to the sacrum and the right buttock. Interview on 07/19/23 at 11:00 A.M. with the Administrator confirmed NP #625 was not available for interview but her supervisor, NP #605 was available for interview. Interview on 07/19/23 at 11:48 A.M. with wound NP #605 confirmed she was NP #625's supervisor and she was able to review Resident #106's record. NP #605 confirmed NP #625 assessed and identified two unstageable ulcers for Resident #106 on 05/24/23 and stated the pressure ulcers were unavoidable. NP #620 confirmed a licensed nurse from the facility should have done a thorough skin assessment on 05/18/23 or 05/19/23 to determine the stage of ulcer reported by the agency nurse on 05/18/23 and to determine if there was further skin injury and to ensure the facility's treatment plan was appropriate. NP #605 confirmed the low air loss mattress was ordered on 05/23/23 and perhaps could have been implemented sooner based upon the facility's assessment of resident's skin. Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown - Clinical Protocol, dated March 2014, revealed the facility nurse shall describe and document and report the following: full assessment of pressure sore including location, stage, length, width and depth, presence of exudate or necrotic tissue. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144009.
