**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.

Interview on 07/18/23 at 2:17 P.M. with RR #610 confirmed a nurse told her Resident #106 had an open
area to her upper thigh on 05/18/23 but was not told it was a pressure ulcer. RR #610 confirmed no one
from the facility notified her Resident #106 had developed unstageable pressure ulcers to her sacrum and
buttocks. RR #610 confirmed when Resident #106 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE], the hospital
nurse told her Resident #106 had unstageable pressure ulcers which were present upon admission to the
hospital.
Interview on 07/19/23 at 8:30 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the facility had no
documentation that RR #610 had been notified of Resident #106's two unstageable pressure ulcers
identified by the wound NP on 05/24/23. The DON confirmed RR #610 was resident's representative/power
of attorney for healthcare, and Resident #106 was unable to make medical decisions for herself. The DON
confirmed RR #610 should have been notified of the new onset of unstageable pressures identified by the
wound NP on 05/24/23.
Review of the facility policy titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status, dated February 2021,
revealed a nurse will notify the resident's representative when there is a significant change in the resident's
physical, mental, or psychosocial status.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144009.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to thoroughly assess the
resident's skin for newly developed open areas. This affected one (Resident #106) of three residents

Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #106 was cognitively
impaired and required extensive assistance from staff with activities of daily living (ADLs). Resident #106
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 (slough and/or eschar:
known but not stageable due to coverage of wound bed by slough and/or eschar) which were not present
upon admission to the facility.
Review of the pressure ulcer risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #106 was at risk for the
development of pressure ulcers.
Review of the care plan revealed Resident #106 was at risk for skin breakdown related to incontinence,

Review of the weekly skin check for Resident #106 dated 05/12/23 revealed no areas of skin impairment
were noted.
Review of weekly skin check for Resident #106 dated 05/18/23 completed by agency nurse, Licensed

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.
