#23's room door was open. Resident #23's catheter bag was hanging on the bed frame uncovered and was
visible from the hallway in front of the resident's room.
Interview on 08/20/19 at 8:00 A.M. with Resident #23 revealed the resident felt 'uncomfortable' about his
catheter and preferred for the bag to not be visible to others.
Interview on 08/20/19 at 9:20 A.M. with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #201 revealed the procedure for
catheter bags was to be hung on the opposite side of the door and to be covered at all times. STNA #201
verified Resident #23's bag was uncovered and visible from the hallway of Resident #23's room.
Interview on 08/20/19 at 8:50 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #185 verified Resident #23's
catheter bag was hanging on the side of the bed facing the resident's open doorway. Per the nurse, the
procedure was to have all catheter bags covered for dignity.
2. Review of Resident #323's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE].

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
Resident #112's medical record revealed an admission date of 07/24/19. Diagnoses included abnormal
levels of serum enzymes, chronic atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Review of the
resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 07/31/19, revealed the resident had no impairment
in cognition and was always incontinent of urine and bowel. She required extensive assistance of one staff
member for bed mobility and dressing. She required extensive assistance with two staff members for
transfers. She was at risk for pressure ulcer, with no unhealed pressure ulcers. She had a pressure
reducing device for her bed.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the resident's care plan, initiated on 07/25/19 and revised on 08/02/19, revealed the resident was
at risk for skin breakdown, skin tears, bruising and pressure ulcers due to weakness, fragile skin,
decreased mobility and incontinence. Interventions included to apply a protective barrier cream as ordered,
assess and record changes in skin status, report pertinent changes to physician, minimize pressure over
bony prominence, provide/monitor effectiveness of pressure relieving or reduction device(s) (pressure
reduction mattress to bed), treatments per Treatment Administration Record (TAR), and weekly skin
assessments by nurse.
Review of the resident's admission nursing assessment, dated 07/24/19, revealed the only skin impairment
the resident had was a spine abrasion. It measured 5.0 centimeters (cm) in length by 3.0 cm wide. There
was no further description of the area.
Review of the physician's order, dated 07/25/19, revealed to apply bordered foam daily to mid back spine
area until healed for abrasion. This order was discontinued on 08/19/19.
Review of the resident's TAR revealed bordered foam daily to mid back spine area was signed off daily as
completed.
Further review of the physician's orders, dated 08/07/19, revealed to apply skin prep (a liquid that when
applied to the skin forms a protective film or barrier) to tips of bilateral great toes due to redness. On
08/09/19, an order was written to apply a foot cradle (a device that attaches to the bed to keep sheets and
blankets from touching and rubbing your legs or feet) to the end of the bed. The resident's TAR had multiple
blank entries noted for the resident's bed cradle.
Continued review of the medical record revealed no further documentation of the resident's skin impairment
to the mid back area until 08/06/19. The note indicated redness to area, skin intact. No further description
was documented. The next entry for the resident's mid back area was dated 08/19/19 and indicated the
physician wanted to discontinue the foam border to the reddened area on her back and a new order was
obtained to apply skin prep to reddened area to mid upper back daily. There was no documentation
regarding the impairment to the resident's toes.
Observation of the resident on 08/19/19 at 10:02 A.M. revealed she had a bed cradle on her bed. The
resident's sheet and blanket were under the bed cradle, touching her feet and legs.
Observation of care and interview with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #180 on 08/19/19 at 10:05
A.M. verified the bed cradle was not being used properly. Observation during care also revealed a dressing
to the resident's mid back dated 08/13/19.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Observation and interview on 08/19/19 at 10:56 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #181 revealed the
resident's right great toe was red, but blanchable. She verified there was a large bandage on the resident's
back dated 08/13/19.
Further observations of the resident on 08/21/19 at 8:35 A.M. and 9:02 A.M. revealed she was in bed with
her sheet and blankets resting on her feet and legs. The bed cradle was on the bed but not being used
properly.
Observation of the resident on 08/21/19 at 10:05 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #177 revealed
the resident had a large foam dressing on her mid back dated 08/19/19. LPN #177 verified the order for a
dressing to the resident's back had been discontinued. She stated the order was changed to skin prep on
08/21/19. The reddened area on the resident's mid-back spine area was measured at 7.0 cm by 1.0 cm and
was red and not blanchable per LPN #177. She stated the area was a Stage I pressure area. The resident's
right great toe was also observed to be red and not blanchable. It measured 1.0 cm by 1.5 cm with skin
starting to flake off the middle portion of the reddened area. LPN #177 stated this area was also a Stage I
pressure area.
Interview with RN Wound Nurse #182 on 08/21/19 at 12:22 P.M. revealed LPNs were not permitted to stage
pressure areas at their facility. She stated she assessed the resident and the area to the resident's back
was a Stage I, but the right great toe was red and blanchable per her assessment, and therefore, not a
Stage I pressure ulcer. She verified there was no documentation indicating the resident's toes were being
monitored and there was no additional documentation on the resident's back impairment.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 08/22/19 at 11:06 A.M. verified there were multiple blank entries
on the TAR for the resident's bed cradle. She also verified nurses had signed they were placing a dressing
on the resident's back from 08/13/19 through 08/19/19 when it had not been changed since 08/13/19.
Review of the facility policy titled Pressure Prevention Policy, revised on 01/05/17, revealed the geriatric
population is at risk for skin breakdown. The risk becomes greater with co-morbidities, and during times of
acute illness. The facility will ensure the nursing staff are providing preventative practices which help
decrease the risk of skin breakdown. Procedures included: assessing skin daily during activities of daily
living, weekly skin checks by nursing staff, protect skin against friction and shearing force.
Based on observation, medical record review, resident and staff interview, and review of the facility policy,
the facility failed to ensure staff provided ongoing monitoring of a resident's left heel pressure ulcer and
failed to notify the physician when the wound deteriorated/began draining. This resulted in Actual Harm to
one resident (#75) when facility staff did not provide ongoing monitoring of Resident #75's left heel
pressure ulcer including measuring/staging the wound, did not notify the physician when the wound began
to drain and Resident #75's left heel ulcer subsequently deteriorated into an unstageable pressure ulcer
(the area could not be staged due to presence of slough and/or eschar). Additionally, the facility failed to

Diagnoses included diabetes mellitus, arthritis, pressure ulcer Stage IV (full thickness tissue loss with
exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed),
muscle weakness, depression, psychotic disorder, anemia and heart disease.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 08/12/19, revealed the resident
had intact cognition and had unhealed pressure ulcers.
Review of the care plan, dated 06/10/19, revealed a focus for skin breakdown related to pressure ulcers.
Interventions for the focus included to monitor the skin, treatments per order, notify physician of changes in
skin and to complete weekly skin assessments.
Review of the physician orders, dated 06/20/19, revealed an order to wash the left heel with normal saline,
pat dry, apply Medihoney and calcium alginate. Cover with heel protector then wrap with Kerlix every
evening shift for wound care and every 24 hours as needed for wound care.
Review of the skin assessment to the resident's left heel, dated 06/26/19, revealed the left heel wound was
measured at five centimeters (cm) in length by five cm in width and noted as a pressure wound. This was
the first measurement of the resident's wound to her left heel since admission. There was no other
description of the wound and no staging of the pressure ulcer.
Review of the physician's progress notes, dated 07/16/19, revealed when Resident #75 was admitted to the
facility, the resident had bilateral heel wounds, large sacral decubitus ulcer, and myositis of the left gluteal
maximus with osteomyelitis to the left iliac bone and sacrum. Foot wounds were noted to be healing after
skin grafts applied.
Further review of Resident #75's weekly skin assessments revealed there was no documentation on the left
heel from 06/26/19 until 08/14/19. On 08/14/19, the left heel was documented as the area continued,
treatment was in place and there was moderate amount of drainage from the wound. There were no
measurements of the wound, description of the wound and what stage the pressure ulcer was.
Interview on 08/20/19 at 8:53 A.M. with Resident #75 revealed she had to go to the hospital when she had
