facility failed to allow a resident to have medications provided by a pharmacy of choice. This affected one
(Resident #5) of three residents reviewed for pharmacy preferences. The facility's census was 44.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/27/21. Diagnoses included
chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, sedative dependence, obstructive sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, and
a history of breast cancer.
Review of Resident #5's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the

regarding the Resident #5's outstanding bill. The social worker encouraged Resident #5 to reach out to the
pharmacy if she had questions.
Family interview on 11/20/22 at 4:10 P.M. revealed the facility stated the family could supply Resident #5
with their own medication from their preferred pharmacy, but the medications must be pre-packaged in
chronological packets by a pharmacy and not in individual bottles. The family wanted to use an outside
pharmacy because the resident was self-pay and the facility's pharmacy was expensive.
Interview on 11/22/22 at 1:53 P.M. the Administrator verified there had been multiple discussions with
Resident #5's family stating they could bring in their own medications as long as they were prepackaged in
packets. The Administrator verified Resident #5 was receiving medications from the facility's pharmacy.
Review of the facility admission Packet revealed residents had the right to the pharmacist of the resident's
choice and the right to receive pharmaceutical supplies and services at reasonable prices not exceeding
applicable and normally accepted prices for comparably packaged pharmaceutical supplies and services
within the community.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00137172.

pressure ulcer measuring 3.5 cm x 4.0 cm x 0.1 cm with wound bed slough, necrotic (death of tissue), and
granulation tissue. Further review revealed orders to cleanse bilateral heels with mild soap and water, apply
Vaseline then Adaptic (dressing), cover with foam and change daily, bilateral waffle boots, and elevate
bilateral lower extremities and float heels.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the re-admission screen, dated 11/10/22, revealed Resident #39 re-admitted to the facility from
the hospital. The assessment identified Resident #39 had right heel, left heel, and right toe blisters. There
were no measurements or assessments completed of the resident's pressure ulcers upon re-admission.
The hospital discharge orders contained no orders for treatments to the areas.
Review of the wound care note by the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP), dated 11/15/22, revealed
Resident #39 had four wounds. Wound #1 was located on the left posterior heel and was identified as a
resolved area. Wound #2 was located on the left medial heel, identified as an unstageable pressure ulcer
measuring 3.5 cm x 5.0 cm x 0.1 cm, and further described as having 25% eschar (dry, dark scab), 25%
necrotic tissue, and a small amount of serous exudate (clean, thin, watery substance). The note revealed
the CNP documented wound care orders for the left medial heel included: clean with wound cleanser, apply
silver alginate and foam, change every other day, and as needed. Wound #3 was identified as a stage III
pressure ulcer to the right medial heel measuring 4.9 cm x 2.0 x 0.1 cm and described as having 10%
slough with a small amount of serosanguinous exudate (wound drainage). Wound care orders for the right
medial heel included: clean with wound cleanser, apply silver alginate and foam cover dressing, change
every other day, and as needed and offload. Wound #4 was identified as a stage II pressure ulcer to the left
medial ankle measuring 1.0 cm x 1.0 cm x 0.1 cm and described as having 100% dermis with a scant
amount of serosanguineous exudate. Wound care orders for the left medial ankle included: clean with
wound cleanser, apply foam, change every other day, and as needed. The note revealed adjacent tissue of
wounds #2, #3, and #4 were at risk for further breakdown.
Review of physician orders revealed the orders listed in the CNP's wound care note from 11/15/22 were not
listed.
Review of Resident #39's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for November 2022 and the medical
record revealed no evidence of any treatments being applied to Resident #39's pressure ulcers since
readmission from the hospital.
The care plan was updated on 11/20/22 due to Resident #39 having actual impairment to skin integrity,
including an unstageable left medial heel pressure ulcer, a stage III right medial heel pressure ulcer, and a
stage II left medial ankle pressure ulcer. Interventions included pressure reducing devices as ordered, staff
to encourage and assist with frequent turning and repositioning, treatment as ordered and wear slippers
instead of Crocs.
Review of physician orders dated 11/21/22 revealed to cleanse left medial ankle with wound cleanser and
cover with foam dressing every other day; cleanse left medial heel with wound cleanser, apply silver
alginate to wound bed and cover with foam dressing every other day; and cleanse right medial heel with
wound cleanser, apply silver alginate to wound bed and cover with foam dressing every other day.
Interview on 11/20/22 at 4:19 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #101 verified there were no wound
care orders in place for Resident #39's unstageable pressure ulcer to the left medial heel, stage III pressure
ulcer to the right medial heel, or stage II pressure ulcer to the left medial ankle.

Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 11/21/22 at 7:33 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the wound treatment orders
from the wound care visit on 11/15/22 were not included in Resident #39's orders. The DON stated she
caught the discrepancy this morning and she had nursing apply dressings per physician orders. The DON
claimed nursing staff were following the treatment orders in the wound care note, despite the orders no
orders being written. The DON did not have an explanation on how nursing staff would know how to
complete the treatments if they were not included in the resident's orders or on the TAR.
Interview on 11/21/22 at 9:33 A.M. with LPN #104 (an agency staff member) verified if treatments were not
included in the resident's physician's orders she would not know if a treatment was even ordered or how to
complete the treatment.
Interview on 11/21/22 at 1:06 P.M. with Clinical Regional Nurse (CRN) #306 revealed Resident #39 had a
left heel blister, which had resolved, prior to her hospitalization on 11/08/22. When Resident #39 returned
from the hospital on [DATE], the resident had pressure ulcers on her left heel, right heel, and left medial
ankle. Nursing completed the readmission screen on 11/10/22 and noted each of the pressure ulcers as
blisters. CRN #306 stated the nurses were not comfortable measuring and staging wounds and noted them
as blisters on the readmission screen. CRN #306 verified the wound treatment orders from the 11/15/22
wound care visit were not implemented until 11/20/22.
Follow up interview on 11/21/22 at 3:27 P.M. with CRN #306 verified the treatments in the wound care
notes from Resident #39's hospital admission were not ordered upon the resident's return to the facility.
Resident #39 did not have any treatment orders implemented from 11/10/22 until 11/20/22 for the
unstageable pressure ulcer to the left medial heel, stage III pressure ulcer to the right medial heel and the
stage II pressure ulcer to the left medial ankle.
Observation on 11/21/22 at 4:50 P.M. of Resident #39's wound care completed by LPN #104 revealed LPN
#104 refused to complete wound measurements. The surveyor requested further assistance from CRN
#306 and the observation was completed with CRN #306. Observation of Wound #2, located on the left
medial heel, revealed measurements of 2.8 cm x 3.4 cm x 0.1 cm of necrotic tissue. Adjoining the area of
necrotic tissue to the left of the wound, was an area measuring 2.2 cm x 2.9 cm x 0/unable to be
determined, which was described as a healing deep tissue injury. The area was 100% necrotic tissue,
indicating an increase of 75% necrotic tissue from the 11/09/22 hospital wound care note and the 11/15/22
wound care note. Due to the necrotic tissue, the depth of the wound was unable to be determined.
Observation of Wound #3, located on the right medial heel, revealed measurements of 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 0
and was noted to be healing. Wound #4 was observed to measure 0.9 cm x 0.7 cm. Each of the wound
treatments were completed per physician order.
Review of the facility policy titled, Skin Care Assessment, revised 11/02/18 revealed all areas identified
should be measured and recorded in the electronic medical record (EMR) and initiate the Skin Care
Management Policy for any open areas or areas of concern due to pressure points.
Review of policy titled Skin Care Management Procedure, dated 11/02/18, revealed upon admission a full
skin assessment should be conducted within two to six hours of arrival and documented in the EMR.
Additionally, monitoring included with each dressing change or at least weekly at a minimum,
documentation should include the date observed, location and staging, size, exudates, pain, wound bed
color and type of tissue/character including evidence of healing or necrosis and percentage of tissue and a
description of wound edges and surrounding tissue. Dressing and treatments were determined based upon
individual practitioner's clinical judgements.

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure pneumococcal
vaccinations were administered. This affected one (Resident #35) of five residents reviewed for
pneumococcal vaccination. The facility census was 44.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #35's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/20/22. Diagnoses included
disorientation, acute kidney failure, major depressive disorder, sepsis, hypertension and atrial fibrillation.
Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #35 was
moderately cognitively impaired and was not up to date on the pneumococcal vaccination.
Review of Resident #35's immunizations revealed the resident received the influenza vaccine on 10/26/22,
declined the COVID-19 vaccination on 10/26/22 and the Prevnar 20 (pneumococcal vaccine) was required.
Review of a consent form signed 09/20/22 revealed Resident #35 consented to the pneumococcal
vaccination.
Interview on 11/22/22 at 10:09 A.M. of Clinical Registered Nurse (CRN) #306 verified Resident #35 had
signed a consent on 09/20/22 to receive the pneumococcal vaccination and did not receive it. CRN #306
stated she contacted the pharmacy and the vaccination had been ordered but Resident #35's insurance did
not cover it and the Resident would have had to cover the cost. CRN #306 confirmed there was no
evidence the facility followed up with either Resident #35 or the Resident's representative regarding the
vaccination.
Review of facility policy titled, Influenza and Pneumococcal Immunization, revised 06/19/19, revealed each
resident, upon admission, would be offered the pneumococcal immunization. The resident or their legal
representative would receive education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of the immunization
prior to administration. The resident or their representative have the right to refuse the immunization.
