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** Based on
closed medical record review, review of skin and wound notes, facility policy review and interview, the
facility failed to ensure individualized care planned interventions were developed and followed to prevent
Resident #165 from developing in-house pressure ulcers within 30 days of admission and failed to ensure
the pressure ulcer was properly treated, and interventions were initiated to promote healing and to prevent
Resident #165 from developing an additional full thickness wound to the left buttock from incontinence
associated dermatitis.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual Harm occurred on 09/12/24 when Resident #165, who was at risk for developing pressure ulcers,
was dependent on staff for bed mobility and incontinence care, and had in-house acquired Stage III
pressure ulcers (full-thickness loss of skin that extended to the subcutaneous tissue, but did not cross the
fascia beneath it) on her sacral area, developed a new new full thickness (extend deeper than the skin's
epidermis and dermis layers and can reach the subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bone or tendons) wound to
the left buttock with a primary etiology of incontinence associated dermatitis (a combination of chemical
and physical irritation to the skin from prolonged exposure to urine and/or feces). Resident #165's family
voiced concerns staff did not provide timely assistance with turning and repositioning, off-loading and timely
incontinence care believed to be a contributing factor to the development. The facility census was 160.
Findings include
Review of Resident #165's closed medical record revealed an admission date of 08/03/24 with diagnoses
including cerebral infarction due to unspecified occlusion or stenosis of right middle cerebral artery,
hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting the left dominant side, and cognitive
communication deficit. Resident #165 was discharged from the facility on 09/16/24.
Review of Resident #165's Nursing admission Evaluation, Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk
dated 08/03/24 revealed Resident #165 was at high risk for developing a pressure ulcer/injury.
Review of Resident #165's care plan dated 08/03/24 and revised on 09/24/24 included Resident #165 had
impaired skin integrity or was at risk for altered skin integrity. Revision on 09/24/24 (Resident #165 was
discharged from the facility on 09/16/24) revealed Resident #165 had a bilateral buttock, coccyx pressure
injury and on 09/12/24 developed a pressure injury to her left buttock. The goal developed was for Resident
#165 to have improved or maintain current skin status through the next review date. Interventions included
to complete weekly skin checks; intervention initiated on 08/03/24 was encourage Resident #165 to turn
and reposition or assist as needed as resident allowed; intervention initiated on 08/05/24 was encourage
Resident #165 to turn and reposition every two hours and as needed as tolerated; provide peri care as
needed to avoid skin breakdown due to incontinence.

Review of Resident #165's medical record including physician orders, progress notes and Treatment
Administration Record (TAR) from 08/03/24 through 08/17/24 did not reveal evidence Resident #165 was
turned and repositioned every two hours and as needed or encouraged to turn and reposition.
Review of Resident #165's admission Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#165 had severe cognitive impairment. Resident #165 was dependent for toileting, personal hygiene,
bathing, dressing, rolling left and right from lying on her back, sit to lying, and lying to sitting. Resident #165
was frequently incontinent of urine and bowel. Resident #165 was at risk for developing pressure
ulcers/injuries, and Resident #165 did not have a pressure ulcer/injury at this time.
Review of Resident #165's progress notes dated 08/11/24 at 10:00 P.M. and written by Registered Nurse
(RN) #809 revealed she was called into Resident #165's room by an unidentified State Tested Nursing
Assistant (STNA) and RN #809 identified several skin tears on Resident #165's right and left buttock. The
area was cleansed with normal saline and covered with a foam dressing. Telehealth was contacted and
asked to follow up with wound care.
Review of Resident #165's progress notes dated 08/11/24 at 10:07 P.M. and written by a Telehealth
Provider revealed the Telehealth Provider was notified Resident #165 had a Stage II (partial-thickness loss
of skin with exposed dermis, presenting as a shallow open ulcer. The wound bed is viable, pink or red,
moist, and may also present as an intact or open/ruptured blister) pressure ulcer. Resident #165 did not
ambulate, and off load to prevent worsening. The progress note did not include treatment orders being
implemented and to have the wound care nurse evaluate the area.
Review of Resident #165's physician orders on 08/11/24 did not reveal treatment orders for Resident
#165's pressure ulcer at this time.
Review of Resident #165's Skin Grid Pressure dated 08/11/24 at 11:38 P.M. included Resident #165 had a
new pressure area, in-house acquired, risk factors were impaired and the resident had decreased mobility.
Resident #165's right buttock had a Stage II pressure injury and measurements were length 1.0 cm, width
1.0 cm and depth 0. The edges were distinct, outlined clearly visible, attached and even with the wound
base. The wound bed had granulation tissue present, the wound bed was pink, reddened and had no
drainage. There were no measurements for Resident #165's left buttock or evaluation of the wound
appearance at this time.
Review of Resident #165's progress notes dated 08/12/24 revealed her sister (guardian) was aware of skin
areas and new orders and Resident #165 was evaluated by Wound Nurse Practitioner (WNP) #815.
Review of Resident #165's skin and wound progress notes dated 08/12/24 at 4:42 P.M. written by WNP
#815 included Resident #165 was seen for a new Stage III pressure injury of the sacrum (investigation
noted this to be the same area previously identified by facility staff on 08/11/24) and measurements
included length 3.0 cm, width 5.0 cm and depth 0.1 cm. The wound edges were attached, exposed tissue
was subcutaneous, wound base 90 percent granulation, 10 percent epithelial and a moderate amount of
serosanguineous drainage was noted. A sharp debridement was not performed due to patient, family
refusal. Treatment recommendations were cleanse with normal saline, apply silver alginate to base of the
wound, secure with bordered foam dressing, and change twice a day (BID) and as needed (PRN).
Recommend ongoing pressure reduction and turning/repositioning per protocol, including pressure
reduction to the heels and all bony prominences. All prevention measures were discussed with the staff at
the time of the visit. Use appropriate moisture barrier creams per approved list, to provide thorough skin
care for each incontinent episode. Resident #165 was recommended for a nutritional consult

Resident #165 had a surgical sacral wound debridement of her Stage III pressure ulcer, it was improving
without complications, and pre-debridement measurements were length 4.5 cm, width 7.0 cm and depth
0.1 cm and 100 percent of the wound was debrided and indications for the debridement were removal of
biofilm (bacteria form aggregates, or communities of slow-growing cells) causing delayed wound closure,
stimulate acute healing response. A surgical excisional debridement of devitalized subcutaneous (tissue
that was no longer living or was weak and could be detrimental to healing) was performed. Tissue removal
including but not limited to biofilm was performed to keep the wound in an active state of healing. Post
debridement measurements were length 4.5 cm, width 7.0 cm and depth 0.2 cm. Treatment was cleanse
with normal saline, apply silver alginate to the base of the wound, secure with bordered foam and change
twice a day and as needed. Resident #165 was recommended for a nutritional consult for the presence of a
wound and reevaluation of current supplementation.
Review of Resident #165's weight change progress notes dated 09/09/24 at 5:15 P.M. included meals and
supplements meet re-estimated needs of 2032 to 2370 kcal (kilocalories) and 88 to 95 gm (gram) of protein

Review of Resident #165's TAR dated 09/12/24 through 09/16/24 did not reveal evidence treatments for
Resident #165's sacral Stage III pressure ulcer and full thickness wound of her left buttock were completed
as ordered.
Interview on 09/25/24 at 11:01 A.M. with Guardian #818 revealed Resident #165 was admitted to the facility
and did not have any open areas on her skin. Guardian #818 stated sometime between 08/03/24 and
08/10/24 Resident #165 developed bedsores on her bottom, and she knew this because on 08/10/24
Resident #165 was soaking wet and was lying on soaking wet, brown stained sheets and she saw wounds
on Resident #165's sacral area when the aides changed her. Guardian #818 stated she was really upset,
was crying and talked to the Director of Nursing (DON) about the aides not changing Resident #165 timely.
Guardian #818 stated Resident #165 was mildly retarded and she sat in a wheelchair all day long in the
same position without taking the pressure off her bottom and did not get changed by staff (related to
incontinence). Guardian #818 indicated Resident #165 told her that her butt hurt from bedsores. Guardian
#818 stated Resident #165 was neglected at the facility.
Interview on 09/25/24 at 5:03 P.M. with WNP #815 and the DON confirmed Resident #165's sacral Stage III
pressure ulcer was not evaluated on 08/20/24. WNP #815 stated Resident #165 was not available, she did
not know why she was not available and did not have to document why Resident #165 was not available for
wound rounds even though Resident #165 was in the facility at the time of wound rounds. WNP #815 stated
Resident #165 could have been at therapy or eating or with her family and it happened sometimes. WNP
#815 stated she was not aware Resident #165's nutritional consult was not completed until 09/09/24
(although it was documented a nutritional consult needed completed on 08/12/24, 08/27/24 and 09/03/24 in
the skin and wound notes).
Interview on 09/26/24 at 7:45 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #809 revealed an STNA initially told her
about Resident #165's buttocks and when she looked at the areas it looked like she had skin tears. RN
#809 stated there was what looked like a skin tear on both the right and left buttock, she called the
Telehealth provider, and the provider thought the areas looked like pressure injuries. RN #809 indicated she
measured the right and left buttock areas, documented them in Resident #165's nurses notes; the wounds
were pink and there was no drainage (record review revealed only the right buttock had measurements and
appearance documented).
Interview on 09/26/24 at 3:01 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse/Unit Manager/Infection Preventionist
(LPN/UM/IP) #800 confirmed Resident #165 did not have her sacral Stage III pressure ulcer evaluated on
08/20/24. LPN/UM/IP #800 stated the Unit Manager should have evaluated the wound if WNP #815 did not
evaluate it and should have completed a pressure skin grid and documented measurements and
appearance of the wound. LPN/UM/IP #800 stated each Unit Manager was responsible for the residents
with wounds who resided on their nursing units, and not all Unit Managers did the same thing. LPN/UM/IP
#800 stated the nurse's cleansed the new area with normal saline, put a foam dressing on, completed a
skin grid and notified the Unit Managers, WNP #815 or a facility Nurse Practitioner, and if it was after hours
the Telehealth provider was contacted for treatment orders.
Interview on 09/27/24 at 2:06 P.M. with the DON and Registered Dietician (RD) #817 revealed RD #817
stated he worked on site at the facility Monday through Friday and all his documentation for the residents
could be found in their electronic records. RD #817 stated he was familiar with Resident #165 and met with
her a few times after she was admitted on [DATE]. RD #817 stated when he was notified a resident had a
pressure ulcer, he would complete a nutritional evaluation with in about a week of the notification. RD #817

Review of the facility undated policy titled Skin Care and Wound Management Overview included facility
staff strived to prevent resident skin impairment and to promote the healing of existing wounds. The
interdisciplinary team worked with the resident and/or family/responsible party to identify and implement
interventions to prevent and treat potential skin integrity issues. The interdisciplinary team evaluated and
documented identified skin impairments and pre-existing signs to determine the type of impairment,
underlying condition(s) contributing to it and description of impairment to determine appropriate treatment.
Each resident was evaluated upon admission and weekly thereafter for changes in skin condition. Resident
skin condition was also re-evaluated with change in clinical condition, prior to transfer to the hospital and
upon return from the hospital. Skin care and wound management program included implementation of
prevention strategies to decrease the potential for developing pressure ulcers. Develop a care plan with
individualized interventions to address risk factors, communicate risk factors and interventions to the care
giving team. For treatment select and complete the appropriate form, pressure ulcer documentation,
complete for all pressure ulcers, review and select the appropriate treatment for the identified skin
impairment, obtain a physician's order.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review and review of the facility policy the facility failed to ensure Resident's
#28 and Resident#127 were provided incontinence care timely. This affected two residents (Resident's #28
and #127) out of four residents reviewed for incontinence care. The facility census was 160.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #28's medical record revealed an admission date of 09/30/20 and diagnoses
included Alzheimer's Disease, vascular dementia, and other speech and language deficits following
unspecified cerebrovascular disease.
Review of Resident #28's care plan dated 10/20/21 and revised on 08/07/24 included Resident #28 was
incontinent of bowel and bladder related to impaired cognition, impaired mobility. Resident #28 would
remain free of skin break down due to incontinence. Interventions included to check Resident #28 for
incontinence and wash, rinse and dry perineum, and changed clothing as needed after incontinence
episodes; Resident #28 used disposable briefs, change as needed.
Review of Resident #28's Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #28 had severe cognitive impairment. Resident #28 was dependent for personal and toileting
