Review of the medical record for Resident #3 revealed an admission date of 03/05/22 with diagnoses including osteoarthritis, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 for Resident #3 dated 06/12/22 revealed the resident had moderate cognitive impairment with no behaviors. Resident #3 required extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. Resident #3 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. Resident #3 had an unstageable pressure ulcer with a treatment. Review of the Braden scale (used to determine risk of developing a pressure ulcer) dated 06/13/22 indicated Resident #3 was a low risk for developing pressure ulcers. Review of the pressure ulcer assessment dated [DATE] revealed the assessment to be incomplete and no indication Resident #3 had an unstageable pressure ulcer to his right heel. Review of the physician orders for June 2022 for Resident #3 revealed an order to paint right heel with betadine, wrap with kerlix daily and leave for protection. The June 2022 orders also included an order for Prevalon boots while in bed or chair to bilateral heels. Review of the treatment administration record for May 2022 and June 2022 revealed Resident #3 received the treatment to his right heel daily. Review of the pressure ulcer weekly skin assessment report/tracking log for Resident #3 revealed on 03/28/22 an unstageable pressure ulcer to right heel measured 2 centimeters (cm) by 1.5 cm with purple wound base. On 06/21/22 the unstageable pressure ulcer to right heel measured 0.5 cm by 0.2 cm with a light scab. Review of the plan of care initiated on 03/07/22 with no revisions revealed Resident #3 had the potential for pressure ulcer development related to immobility. The interventions included: cushion to wheelchair/chair dated 03/07/22, protective barrier cream to peri-anal area every shift and as needed dated 03/07/22, gel overlay to bed dated 03/07/22, inform the resident, family/caregivers of any new area of skin breakdown dated 03/07/22, may follow wound care clinic if skin issues occur dated 03/07/22 and turn and reposition every two hours and as needed for comfort as resident will allow dated 05/17/22. The plan of care did not address the actual active unstageable pressure ulcer to Resident #3's right heel.

Observations of Resident #3 on 06/22/22 at 12:04 P.M., and on 06/23/22 at 9:53 A.M. revealed the resident was not wearing the Prevalon boots as ordered to bilateral lower extremities while in bed and up in his chair. An interview on 06/23/22 at 10:22 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #280 revealed the resident had skin issues to his buttocks and right heel. The STNA said Resident #3 did not have any heel protectors such as Prevalon boots to wear while in bed or up in wheelchair. An interview on 06/24/22 at 10:34 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #100 revealed Resident #3 had a small scabbed area to right heel that was a blister. The current treatment was swab with iodine, and cover it with a foam dressing. An observation on 06/24/22 at 11:24 A.M. of Resident #3 sitting in his recliner. The resident was not wearing his Prevalon boots, and he proceeded to peel the foam dressing away from his heel. There was a dark dry scabbed area approximately 2 cm in diameter with no redness, drainage or odor noted. Resident #3 then put the dressing back over the area. The dressing was dated 06/23/22 and Resident #3 said someone would be changing it soon. An interview on 06/24/22 at 12:50 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #60 confirmed Resident #3 did not have a care plan in place for the unstageable pressure ulcer to his right heel. Review of the facility policy titled Preventative Skin Care dated 11/27/17 indicated the licensed nurse will document the resident's response to all treatments by completing a weekly progress note to include length, width, depth,odor,drainage, color, pain, and effects of treatment. The RN manager will assess the weekly progress and determine if a new treatment order is needed. Documentation will be done in the medical record and interventions will be incorporated in the resident's care plan.
Based on observations, interviews, record reviews, and online guidance, the facility failed to adequately implement care plans and interventions. This affected three residents (#3, #29, and #31) of 20 residents whose care plans were reviewed during the annual survey. The facility census was 49.
Findings include: 1. Record review for Resident #29 revealed this resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnoses including atrial fibrillation, stage three chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and systolic heart failure. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 05/03/22, revealed this resident had moderately impaired cognition evidenced by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment score of 03. This resident was assessed to require extensive assistance from one staff member for bed mobility, transfers, and toileting. Review of the active care plans for this resident revealed no care plan was implemented for wandering, being at risk for elopement, or the use of a wander guard until 06/21/22. Observation on 06/21/22 at 3:00 P.M. revealed Resident #29 was being assisted onto the elevator by family members when an alarm sounded due to the placement of a wander guard bracelet on the resident. The resident's daughter alerted staff the bracelet should probably be cut off for a while since it had been in place for a couple of weeks.

Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #60 on 06/24/22 at 11:00 A.M. verified there had not been a care plan in place for wandering, being at risk for elopement, or use of a wander guard for Resident #29 prior to 06/21/22. 2. Record review for Resident #31 revealed this resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnoses including stage four chronic kidney disease, dementia without behavioral disturbances, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. Review of the admission MDS assessment, dated 04/23/22, revealed this resident had moderately impaired cognition evidenced by a BIMS assessment score of 07. This resident was assessed to require extensive assistance from two staff members for bed mobility and extensive assistance from one staff member for transfers and toileting. Review of the care plan, dated 5/23/22, revealed this resident received dialysis. The only intervention listed was to send a sacked snack with the resident to dialysis. Interview with RN #60 on 06/24/22 at 11:00 A.M. verified the only intervention listed on the resident's care plan was to send a sacked snack with the resident to dialysis and did not contain any additional interventions detailing the plan of care the facility was to provide to the resident regarding dialysis care and treatment. Review of the online guidance from NurseJournal titled Nursing Care Plans Explained (https://nursejournal.org/articles/nursing-care-plans-explained/), modified on 04/28/2022, revealed nursing care plans were a vital part of the nursing process and provided a centralized document of the residents conditions, diagnoses, the nursing teams goals for the resident, and a measure of the residents progress. Nursing care plans were structured to capture all the important information for the nursing team in one place and ensured everything important was documented and available to all team members. Without nursing care plans, communication could become disjointed, and resident information may have been scattered across different records, or nursing staff may have had to rely on verbal handoff's which the new nurse may mishear or even forget.
