the resident's abrasion to the left lateral hip on 02/21/23 and assessed as a new wound. Review of the
medical at the time of interview verified the record lacked documentation regarding the physician being
notified of the skin injury and a physician ordered treatment to the wound.
Interview on 03/16/23 at 8:10 A.M. with the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) verified no
additional information was available indicating Resident #7's left hip wound (abrasion) was reported to the
physician.
Review of the facility's wound treatment guidelines last revised 06/01/21 revealed wound treatments will be
provided in accordance with physician orders, including the cleansing method, dressing type, and
frequency of dressing change. In the absence of treatment orders, the licensed nurse will notify the
physician to obtain treatment orders.
Based on medical record review, staff interview, and review of the facility guideline, the facility failed to
notify the physician when a resident tested positive for COVID-19 and when a resident sustained an
abrasion. This affected two residents (#6 and #7) of two residents reviewed for notification of change. The
facility census was 79.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #6's medical record revealed an admission date of 08/04/21. Diagnoses included
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atherosclerotic heart disease, and congestive heart failure.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #6 was
cognitively intact.
Review of a nursing progress note dated 02/04/23 revealed Resident #6 requested a COVID-19 test due to
symptoms of cough, dry eyes, and congestion. The COVID-19 swab was positive. Further review Resident
#6's progress notes and medical record from 02/04/23 through 02/06/23 revealed no documentation of
physician notification of Resident #6's positive COVID-19 positive test result.
Interview on 03/15/23 at 10:00 A.M. with Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #377 revealed the facility
typically sent a fax to the physician notifying of any change in condition and the fax confirmation was kept in
the resident's medical record. ADON #377 verified Resident #6's medical record contained no evidence the
physician was notified of Resident #6's positive COVID-19 test result but stated Nurse Practitioner (NP)
#418 was aware Resident #6 had COVID-19.
Interview on 03/15/23 at 11:43 A.M. with NP #418 verified the facility did not notify her Resident #6 tested
positive for COVID-19 on 02/04/23. NP #418 stated she became aware Resident #6 had COVID-19 when
was at the facility on 02/10/23 for scheduled rounds. NP #418 stated Resident #6 was still on isolation on
02/10/23. NP #418 stated faxed notifications from the facility were scanned into their records at the
physician office. NP #418 verified she reviewed faxes that had been received from the facility and the
physician's office did not receive faxed notification of Resident #6's positive COVID-19 test result.
Review of the facility policy titled Notification of Changes, dated 11/29/22, revealed the facility must inform

#24 had intact cognition, required the extensive assistance of one staff for activities of daily living,
incontinent of bladder, and was at risk for pressure ulcer development with no skin breakdown. Resident
#24 was receiving hospice services.
Review of the nursing plan of care, dated 01/11/23, revealed it was implemented to address the resident's
activities of daily living self-care performance deficit related to fatigue and recent COVID-19 infection.
Interventions included the following; Resident #24 required extensive assist by one staff to turn and
reposition in bed and for toileting. Resident #24 also had potential for pressure ulcer development related to
recent COVID-19 infection with deconditioning. Interventions included the following: Educate the
resident/family/caregivers as to causes of skin breakdown; including: transfer/positioning requirements;
importance of taking care during ambulating/mobility, good nutrition and frequent repositioning. Follow
facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown. Teach the resident/family the

served two items during the lunch meal. DA #351 stated the beef burgundy and egg noodles were pureed
together and the vegetables were a separate item. DA #351 confirmed she plated a number eight scoop of
the pureed beef and noodles and a number eight scoop of the key west vegetable blend for each of the
pureed meals. DA #351 verified she did not provide two number eight scoops of the beef and egg noodle
puree to accommodate the serving size of a number eight scoop of each food item. DA #351 confirmed
Residents #20, #24, #33, #36, and #177 received pureed meals from the second floor dining room.
Residents Affected - Some
Interview on 03/13/23 at 12:20 P.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #417 confirmed the lunch menu for
pureed meals consisted of a number eight scoop of beef burgundy, a number eight scoop of egg noodles,
and a number twelve scoop of the key west vegetable blend. RD #417 verified residents on pureed diets
should have been served two number eight scoops of the beef and noodle puree since the food items were
pureed together. RD #417 stated the facility did not typically puree foods together and it probably confused
DA #351. RD #417 verified the number eight scoop equaled approximately a one-half cup, or about four to
five ounces, of food. In addition, RD #417 also confirmed the serving size of a number eight scoop was not
accurate based on the menu and should have been a number twelve scoop for the key west vegetable
blend, which equaled approximately a one-third cup, or two and one-half to three ounces. Lastly, RD #417
stated the facility had a new cook and Food Service Director (FSD) #319 was off on leave. RD #417 stated
she would mention to the kitchen staff serving sizes needed to be adjusted if foods were pureed together.
Review of the facility policy titled Puree Food Preparation, dated 04/27/22, revealed residents receiving
puree diets should always receive portions equivalent to those serviced on the regular or therapeutic diet
ordered.
