Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, record review and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a low air loss
mattress was properly inflated to promote healing of a pressure ulcer. This affected one (Resident #5)of
three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 48.

Findings include:
Review of Resident #5's medical record revealed an admission date of 10/22/21 and a re-entry date of
04/07/22. Resident #5's diagnoses included fracture of shaft of left fibula, need for assistance with personal
care, Parkinson's Disease, type two diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy and bipolar disorder.
Review of Resident #5's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 04/19/23, revealed
Resident #5 was cognitively intact. Resident #5 required extensive assistance of one staff member for bed
mobility, extensive assistance of two staff members for transfers, and had total dependence of one staff
member for toilet use. Resident #5 was always incontinent of bowel. Resident #5 had a pressure ulcer.
Review of Resident #5's wound care notes dated 05/10/23 and written by Wound Nurse Practitioner (WNP)
#463 revealed Resident #5 had a Stage III sacral pressure ulcer, tissue bed was 75 percent granular and
25 percent slough, and measurements were a length of 1.5 centimeters (cm), width 1.0 cm and depth 0.1
cm. Resident #5 had a left heel stage three pressure ulcer, wound bed was 100 percent granular, and
measurements were length of 4.0 cm, width of 2.0 cm, and depth 0.1 cm.
During observation on 05/11/23 at 12:32 P.M., Resident #5 was lying at an angle in bed, her right leg
hanging off the side of the bed and the head of bed was elevated about 30 degrees. Resident #5 stated her

mattress was not turned on and inflated. Resident #5 was resting on the uninflated mattress on a steel bed
frame. STNA #412 confirmed the low air loss mattress was not on, stated Resident #5 was recently moved

back on once the move was complete. STNA #412 stated she did not notice the mattress was not turned on

During interview on 05/11/23 at 2:30 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she did not know what time

During observation on 05/17/23 at 11:06 A.M., WP #464 and WN #430 revealed Resident #5 was lying in
bed and her heels were resting directly on the low air loss mattress and were not offloaded. Observation of
Resident #5's left heel revealed a known pressure injury found when Resident #5 was readmitted to the
facility from the hospital and a new area, dark red in color and about the size of a dime. WP #464 stated the
new area of the left heel was a blood blister deep tissue pressure injury and length was 1.5 cm, width 3.0
cm and depth unable to be determined. WP #464 stated heels should be offloaded and an offloading boot
should be used. Observation revealed an offloading boot was in Resident #5's room and WP #464 placed it
on her left foot after treatment was completed.
Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Injury Prevention and Management revised 08/22/22 included
the facility was committed to the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries, unless clinically unavoidable,
and to provide treatment and services to heal pressure ulcer, injury, prevent infection and the development
of additional pressure ulcers, injuries. Evidence-based interventions for prevention would be implemented
for all residents who were at risk or who had a pressure injury present. Basic or routine care interventions
could include, but were not limited to redistribute pressure, provide appropriate, pressure-redistributing
support surfaces.
Review of Owners Manual for PressureGuard APM2 and PressureGuard APM2 Safety Supreme air therapy
support surface undated, included the PressureGuard APM2 models were powered, flotation therapy
mattresses providing a pressure management surface for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
The inflation system consists of four urethane air cylinders in standard models that run head to foot
underneath the body and the foam topper. These cylinders perform the alternating pressure therapy and
the lateral rotation therapy. Cylinders inflate and deflate in a fixed ten minute cycle. The cycles and inflation
levels were designed to provide and maintain low interface pressures throughout the mattress, and to
redistribute peak interface pressure points during the alternating cycle. Comfort level selection allowed
selection of air cylinder firmness within a relatively small range. Press softer or firmer button to achieve
desired setting. Begin in the softest setting, then adjust for comfort as desired.
This is an incidental deficiency discovered during the course of this complaint investigation.
