F 0677 Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on medical record review, resident and staff interview, review of the facility's shower schedules, shower/bath body audit sheets, and review of the state tested nurse aide (STNA) job summary, the facility failed to provide routine showers to a resident who was totally dependent on staff for bathing. This affected one (#15) of one resident reviewed for activities of daily living (ADLs). The facility census was 45. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #15 revealed an admission date of 04/09/21 with diagnoses of fracture of the right fibula, chronic kidney disease, depression and heart failure. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 04/13/21, revealed Resident #15 was cognitively intact. She required extensive assistance to total assistance for activities of daily living (ADLs), including extensive assistance of two staff for dressing and personal hygiene. She was totally dependent on staff for bathing. Review of the plan of care revealed Resident #15 had an impaired ability to perform or complete activities of daily living for herself including dressing and bathing. Interventions included to assist as needed to complete ADLs and encourage independence. Provide hygiene while in bed (due to Resident #15 had a knee immobilizer.) Review of the facility's shower schedules from 04/14/21 to 05/24/21 revealed Resident #15 had showers on Wednesday and Sunday on first shift. After 05/24/21, Resident #15's scheduled shower days were changed to Monday and Thursday on first shift. Review of the tasks documentation for Resident #15 revealed physical assistance with bathing was provided once in the last 30 days (from 05/09/21 to 06/08/21) on 06/05/21. Review of the Shower/Bath Body Audit sheets for 30 days from 05/09/21 to 06/08/21 revealed Resident #15 was bathed on 05/31/21, 06/03/21 and 06/05/21. Review of the South Hall 24-hour Report Sheet, which was not a part of the medical record, revealed Resident #15 was showered on 05/16/21 and 05/23/21 and documented Resident #15 refused a shower on 05/18/21. These showers were not documented anywhere in Resident #15's medical record and no refusals of showers were documented anywhere in Resident #15's medical record. There was no evidence Resident #15 received showers or a bed bath on her scheduled shower days on 05/09/21, 05/12/21, 05/19/21, 05/24/21, 05/27/21 or 06/07/21. Resident #15 was not bathed for a week from 05/09/21 to 05/16/21 and not bathed for a week from 05/23/21 to 05/31/21.

F 0684 Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals. 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, observation, resident and staff interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure non-pressure skin impairments were accurately assessed and routinely monitored. This affected one (#15) of two residents reviewed for non-pressure skin impairments. The facility census was 45. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #15 revealed an admission date of 04/09/21 with diagnoses of fracture of the right fibula, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. Review of the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 04/13/21, revealed surgical wounds were present upon admission for Resident #15. Review of the nurse progress notes from admission on [DATE] to 06/07/21 revealed no information about a new wound on her right leg at any time. Review of the physician orders, dated 04/09/21, revealed a dry dressing change to the right lower extremity daily. Skin checks to the right lower extremity every shift was ordered on 04/09/21. An immobilizer to the right lower extremity at all times was ordered on 04/10/21. Review of the medical record revealed the facility was using a photographing imaging wound assessment tool and Skin and Wound Evaluation form for Resident #15. Resident #15 had no initial surgical wound assessments upon admission. The first documentation of any wound assessment was a photograph dated 04/19/21 at 6:51 P.M. identified as wound #4, undiagnosed, body location was not set, age was unknown and where the wound was acquired was not set. Dimensions were 71.21 cm area, 23.87 cm length and 10.77 cm width. The image revealed four surgical wounds, one each at the lateral knee, lateral shin, medial knee and medial shin with staples intact. The four surgical wounds were not documented separately. Review of the assessment/photograph, dated 04/20/21 at 1:04 P.M., revealed wound #4 was a surgical wound with staples and the incision was approximated, six days old and present upon admission (eleven days prior). The location of the wound was not identified. Dimensions were 14.2 cm area, (80 percent improvement in one day), 20.92 cm length (12 percent improvement) and 9.77 cm width (9 percent improvement). The four surgical wounds, one each at the lateral knee, lateral shin, medial knee and medial shin with staples intact continued to be evaluated as one wound. The next assessment, dated 04/25/21 at 3:34 P.M., revealed wound #4 was 100 percent healed with zero area, length and width. The location was not identified. The wound was approximated with staples. Treatment included to wash with soap and water and no dressing was ordered. the image revealed staples were still present at the lateral shin, medial shin and medial knee surgical incisions. The lateral knee surgical incision was poorly visualized and the status of staples were unknown visually. No scabbing was visually noted at any of the four surgical wounds. Wound #4 was re-evaluated on 05/01/21 at 10:22 A.M., again identified as surgical with staples, approximated, present upon admission and with no location identified. Dimensions were 47.19 cm area, (232 percent increase), 22.27 cm length and 9.8 cm width.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few undetermined number and with scabbing noted at the lateral shin, medial knee and medial shin. Wound #4 was the only assessment for the four surgical wounds. Wound #4 assessment one day later on 05/02/21 remained essentially the same as the assessment dated [DATE], however the dimensions were 15.55 cm area (67 percent improved), 22.27 cm length and 9.37 cm width. The next assessment was ten days later on 05/12/21 at 6:53 P.M. for wound #4. The location was still not identified, the four surgical wounds were still being evaluated as one wound. The image revealed increase scabbing at the lateral shin about three or four inches in length and about half an inch wide with irregular edges. The next assessment was eleven days later dated 05/23/21 at 3:53 P.M. for wound #4 identified to be surgical with staples at the right calf, well approximated and with zero area, length or width and 100 percent closed. Review of the corresponding wound photograph dated 05/23/21 revealed there were no staples on the four surgical wounds. The medial side of her right knee had two scabbed areas, each about an inch long. The medial side of her calf had one area which appeared to be scabbed about one inch long and half inch wide. Resident #15's lateral shin had a large area which appeared to be scabbed about three to five inches long and about an inch wide, increased in size from 05/12/21. No open areas were visually noted in the photograph. There was no further assessment of the wound from 05/23/21 to 06/08/21. The four surgical wounds were never evaluated separately. The first wound assessment identified as wound #4 was not completed until ten days after admission. There was no weekly wound assessment completed for ten days from 05/02/21 to 05/12/21. Interview with Resident #15 on 06/07/21 at 9:28 A.M. stated she had a wound under her right leg immobilizer. She verified she had surgical wounds from the repair of her fractured fibula and she wore a knee immobilizer. Resident #15 stated there were new wounds on her shin/ankle area in the front. The (unnamed) nurse found the wounds a couple of days ago but did not do anything to it when it was found. The nurse told her that the physician would need to be contacted for a new treatment. The nurse did cover the wound with a dry pad which was an existing treatment for the surgical wound near the location of the new wounds. Resident #15 stated that yesterday (06/06/21), the dry pad was sticking to the wound. The (unnamed) nurse did put a treatment on the new wounds on 06/06/21 then again covered the entire area with the dry pad. Resident #15 stated the staff were not routinely removing the knee immobilizer and not routinely completing dressing changes for the surgical wounds. Observation on 06/07/21 at 9:28 A.M. revealed Resident #15 was wearing a removable knee immobilizer on her right leg from her ankle to above her knee. The knee immobilizer had Velcro straps holding it in place. Observation on 06/08/21 at 2:20 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #49 revealed she removed Resident #15's knee immobilizer from her right leg. There were two abdominal (ABD) pads across her shin/calf area, not secured with any tape. LPN #49 removed the two pads revealing another small dressing which looked like adaptic approximately one inch square under the ABD pad at the medial mid-calf area. LPN #49 verified there was some sort of dressing about one inch square under the ABD pad and near an open wound. She removed it and verified it looked like an adaptic dressing. LPN #49 verified there was no order for adaptic, only a dry dressing was ordered. Further observation revealed three wounds at the medial mid-calf area. The most distal area appeared to be about 0.5 centimeters (cm.)

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few long and 0.1 cm. and scabbed. The center wound appeared to be about 2.0 cm. long and 0.5 cm. wide, open with scant drainage. The periwound area was red. The third most proximal area was about 2.0 cm. long and 0.5 cm. and scabbed. LPN #49 verified the middle wound at the medial mid-calf area appeared to have been caused by rubbing and was not surgical a wound. LPN #49 verified she had not noted the open wound during her skin inspection that morning and she did not see the adaptic dressing during her skin inspection that morning. LPN #49 verified Resident #15's medial mid-calf had a new non-surgical wound previously covered with an adaptic dressing. She could not say how long the wound had been there. LPN #49 verified the open wound was draining and may need separate treatment and she would update the physician. Further observation of the right lower leg revealed a healed surgical incision lateral to the knee. The surgical incision medial to the shin had scabbed areas; the surgical incision medial to the knee had small scabbed areas. The surgical incision lateral to the shin was covered with a large irregular scabbed area three to five inches long and about an inch wide. LPN #49 verified Resident #15 still had these scabbed areas at three of the four surgical incision areas. Interview on 06/09/21 from 9:56 A.M. to 2:38 P.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #36 verified there was no initial assessment of Resident #15's surgical wound incisions upon admission. The four surgical incisions were never evaluated separately but were documented and evaluated as a single surgical wound. The first wound assessment identified as wound #4 was not completed until ten days after admission. Weekly wound assessments were not completed. ADON #36 verified the wounds were documented as 100 percent closed on 04/25/21 and on 05/23/21. ADON #36 verified that was not accurate as evidenced by the photographic images dated 04/25/21 and 05/23/21, showed there was still scabbing present at Resident #15's shin and knee. ADON #36 verified there was no wound assessment completed since 05/23/21 to 06/08/21. ADON #36 viewed the photograph of Resident #15's right leg taken on 05/23/21 and the new photograph taken by LPN #49 on 06/08/21 showing the new wound at her medial mid-calf. ADON #36 verified there was a new wound on the photo dated 06/08/21 which not present on 05/23/21. ADON #36 verified she was not aware of the new open area, there was no documentation of the new open area at her medial mid-calf, no physician notification and no new order for adaptic or any other treatment of the new wound.

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on medical record review, observation, staff interview and review of the facility's policy, the facility failed to accurately assess and routinely monitor residents with pressure ulcers. This affected two (#4 and #25) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility identified four residents with pressure ulcers. The facility census was 45. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #4 revealed an admission date of 03/05/21. Diagnoses included stage four pressure ulcer to sacral region (Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed.), mononeuropathy, protein calorie nutrition, dementia with behavioral disturbance, muscle weakness, and colostomy. Review of Resident #4's plan of care, dated 03/10/21, revealed the pressure wound was to be assessed and monitored with length, width and depth when possible. The wound perimeter, wound bed and healing process was to be documented with improvements and declines in wound healing reported to the physician accordingly. Review of Resident #4's five-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/11/21, revealed the resident was rarely/never understood with long and short term memory problems. The resident required assistance with bed mobility, transfers and toileting. The resident was admitted to the facility with a stage four pressure ulcer. Review of Resident #4's wound record revealed on 03/05/21, the resident was admitted with a stage four pressure ulcer to the sacrum which measured 11.9 centimeters (cm.) in length by 3.34 cm. in width. There were no measurements documented on 03/10/21, 03/17/21, 04/21/21, 05/21/21 and 06/08/21. The last documented wound measurement was dated 05/26/21 and measured 2.66 cm. in length by 1.83 cm. in width. Continued review of Resident #4's wound documentation revealed it to be silent for documented wound characteristics on 03/05/21, 03/07/21, 03/24/21, 03/31/21, 04/07/21, 04/14/21, 04/28/21, 05/05/21, 05/12/21, 05/14/21 and 05/25/21. Interview on 06/09/21 at 8:50 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed there to be a lack of wound measurements documented for Resident #4 on 03/10/21, 03/17/21, 04/21/21, 05/21/21 and 06/08/21. The facility uploads photos, however, the measurements were not calculated on the above dates through the computerized system. The DON also confirmed there was a lack of documented wound characteristics documented for Resident #4 on 03/05/21, 03/07/21, 03/24/21, 03/31/21, 04/07/21, 04/14/21, 04/28/21, 05/05/21, 05/12/21, 05/14/21, 05/26/1 and 06/08/21. The DON confirmed Resident #4 was followed by an infectious disease physician for his wound. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 04/06/21. Diagnoses included acute and chronic respiratory failure, stage three pressure ulcer of sacrum (Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fate may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed), obesity, protein calorie malnutrition, muscle weakness, pressure ulcer right buttock - unstageable (slough and/or eschar: Known but not stageable due to coverage of wound bed by slough and/or eschar), cognitive communication deficit, dysphonia, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, and an unstageable sacral region pressure ulcer.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #25's plan of care, initiated on 04/06/21, revealed the pressure wounds were to be monitored for effectiveness and to notify the advanced level provider as needed if the area worsens or does not respond. Review of Resident #25's five-day MDS assessment, dated 04/13/21, revealed the resident had intact cognition. The resident required extensive assistance of staff for bed mobility, transfers and toileting. The resident was identified to be at risk for pressure ulcers with a documented unhealed stage three present upon admission. Review of Resident #25's wound record revealed on 04/09/21 the resident was admitted with a stage three pressure ulcer to the coccygeal which measured 7.54 centimeters (cm.) in length by 4.43 cm. in width. The assessment was silent for documented wound characteristics on this date. Continued review of the wound record revealed there were no wound characteristics documented on 04/27/21, 05/04/21 and 05/18/21. Review of the wound record revealed on 06/09/21 the wound was documented as being 2.45 cm. in length and 0.38 cm. in width with 60% slough, moderate serosanguineous drainage with attached epithelial erythema and fragility surrounding the wound site. Observation of wound care for Resident #25 on 06/09/21 at 7:45 A.M. with LPN #30 revealed the resident to have two small pea sized open areas on the right buttock and one pea size open area near the sacral region. Interview on 06/09/21 with LPN #30 confirmed the resident was admitted with the open areas to the sacral and buttock areas. Interview on 06/09/21 at 8:50 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the lack of wound characteristics being documented for 04/09/21, 04/27/21, 05/04/21 and 05/18/21. The DON confirmed the resident to have documented open areas to right buttock that were being monitored as one wound site with one measurement as the wound initially entailed one area. The facility did a house sweep on 06/08/21 and realized they have issues with documentation of skin wounds and were putting a plan of action in place along with staff training. The DON confirmed Resident #25 was being followed by an infectious disease physician and surgeon for her wounds. Interview on 06/09/21 at 1:05 P.M. with Regional Administrator #150 confirmed the facility was lacking in required weekly wound documentation along with lack of documented wound characteristics which they have identified at the time of this survey in progress. Review of the facility's policy titled, Skin Care Management, with a revision date of 11/02/18, revealed with dressing changes or at least weekly at a minimum, documentation should include the date observed, location and staging, size inclusive of length and width of the wound, exudate (odor, color and approximate amount), pain, description of the wound bed to include color and type of tissue (granulation, necrosis, slough or eschar), and description of the wound edges and surrounding tissue.
