and the dressing on Resident #3's LLE was the original surgical dressing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview on 07/06/23 at 4:14 P.M. with the DON confirmed LPN #814 documented on Resident #3's TAR
that she had completed the LLE surgical wound care on 06/29/23, LPN #815 documented on Resident #3's
TAR that she had completed the LLE surgical wound care on 07/01/23 and 07/03/23. The DON confirmed
the wound care was not completed as ordered and she would launch an investigation into the concern.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 07/06/23 at 4:16 P.M. with Resident #3 confirmed staff had not changed her LLE surgical
wound dressing since her return to the facility on [DATE].
Telephone interview on 07/07/23 at 2:49 P.M. with the DON revealed she called Resident #3's surgeon, and
he did not use the type of dressing which was removed from Resident #3's leg on 07/06/23 by LPN #809.
She stated she also called LPN #815 who told her that she completed Resident #3's wound care on
07/03/23. The DON confirmed she did not provide evidence of the completion of the wound care including
staff statements or phone numbers because the facility had a surprise admission.
Review of the undated Wound Care policy indicated dry dressing protection was to follow the order or per
nursing judgement and use house stock dry dressing, Kerlix gauze, abdominal dressing, or four by four
dressings.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00143723.
