Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
closed medical record review, review of the wound nurse practitioner (NP) progress notes, and interviews
the facility failed to ensure wound notes were accurately documented to reflect current treatment orders for
skin alterations. This affected one resident (#1) of three record reviewed.
Findings included:
1. a. Closed medical record revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility initially on 03/07/24 and
re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including tracheostomy, embolism and thrombosis of deep veins of
left upper extremity, acute respiratory failure, quadriplegia, dependence on respirator, and Raynaud's.
Review of Resident #1's Wound NP #500's progress note dated 07/26/24 revealed new orders to cleanse
the right scapula wound with 3% acetic acid.
Review of Resident #1's orders revealed no evidence 3% acetic acid was ordered to cleanse the wound.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 4:35 P.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Wound Licensed Practical
Nurse (WLPN) #224 revealed the facility never received the order for 3% acetic acid. The WLPN #224 and
DON reported the Wound NP #500 gives staff verbal orders and the staff enter the orders into the
electronic medical record. The DON reported some of the orders were signed by the Wound NP #500,
however some were signed by the resident's physician.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 4:45 P.M., with Wound NP #500 revealed she gets distracted and may have
documented the order inaccurately and would probably go by the orders the staff had entered more likely.
b. Review of Resident #1's Wound NP #500's progress note dated 07/26/24, 08/02/24, and 08/09/24
revealed the resident had venous ulcers on left lateral lower leg proximal and left lower leg distal. New
orders written to wrap with ace bandages daily as tolerated.
Review of Resident #1's orders revealed no evidence ace bandages to the lower extremities was ever
ordered.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 4:35 P.M., with the DON and WLPN #224 revealed the facility never received the
order to wrap the lower legs with ace bandages daily.
