Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #20 was cognitively intact. Resident #20 required extensive assistance for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and had surgical wounds.

Review of physician orders for Resident #20 revealed orders for nursing staff to change wound vac every Wednesday and Friday, place bridge between wounds and place suction in the middle of the bridge per wound clinic and wound clinic to change dressings.

Order received from wound clinic to change wound vac on Thursday and Saturday this week.

Wound vac was signed off as held on 03/06/24. Starting 03/11/24, wound vac started to be changed by the wound clinic on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
