F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to ensure a timely pressure ulcer re-assessment was completed for Resident #51, following the resident's readmission to the facility and failed to implement physician orders for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment for Resident #76. This affected two residents (#51 and #76) of four residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility identified eight residents with pressure ulcers. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #51's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/14/18 with diagnoses including end stage renal disease, acquired absence of right leg above knee amputation, periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic left hip joint, respiratory failure, anemia, weakness, hyperlipidemia, dependence on renal dialysis, hypothyroidism, obstructive sleep apnea, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure, macular degeneration, hypertension, morbid (severe) obesity, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, hypotension of hemodialysis, blepharitis right eye, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, carcinoma of endometrium, chronic kidney disease, stage 4 (severe) and gastritis. Review of the 12/19/19 quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed the resident was independent for daily decision making, required extensive assist of two staff for bed mobility, was totally dependent of two staff for transfers, did not walk, required extensive assist of one staff for locomotion on the unit and total assist of one staff for locomotion off the unit. The assessment revealed the resident required extensive assist of one staff for dressing, was independent for eating, totally dependent of two staff for toileting, extensive assist of one staff for personal hygiene, required physical help in part of bathing of one staff. The assessment revealed the resident's balance was not steady as the resident was only able to stabilize moving from seated to standing, moving on and off the toilet and surface to surface transfer, the resident had lower extremity impairment on one side, utilized a manual wheelchair and had one Stage III (full thickness of the skin and may extend into the subcutaneous tissue layer; granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. At this stage, there may be undermining and/or tunneling that makes the wound much larger than it may seem on the surface) pressure ulcer with a pressure reducing device for chair and bed. Review of a 12/19/19 Weekly Pressure Ulcer Progress Report revealed the resident had a house acquired left ishium pressure ulcer discovered 07/30/19 that currently was a Stage III pressure ulcer measuring 2.7 centimeters (cm) in length by 1.4 cm width with 0.8 cm depth. There was a moderate amount of serosanguinous drainage with small pink granulation, large eschar and slough adherent to the wound bed and small epithelialization. Periwound has excoriation/erythema, but no crepitus, induration (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0686 or edema. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Review of a 12/20/19 Braden Scale for Prediction of Pressure Sore Risk revealed the resident was slightly limited for sensory perception, had very moist skin, was chair fast, had very limited mobility, excellent nutrition, problems with friction and shearing and a moderate risk for skin breakdown. Residents Affected - Few The resident was hospitalized [DATE]. The hospital wound note, dated 12/27/19 included the left ishium pressure ulcer was 2.0 cm by 2.5 cm by 0.5 cm Stage III pressure ulcer with scant serosanguinous drainage and a red wound bed. The resident returned to the facility 01/03/20. The readmission skin assessment included multiple bruises covering bilateral upper extremities and antecubital regions bilaterally, petechial areas observed over anterior and posterior aspect of right stump, a scabbed area to dorsal left foot and a pre existing wound to gluteal folds present. There was no evidence of a comprehensive pressure ulcer assessment upon readmission. Review of the physician's orders included 01/03/20 a broda chair to provide postural support and comfort secondary to poor trunk control post right above the knee amputation and an order to cleanse left gluteus with soap and water, apply medihoney to wound bed and then calcium alginate, cover with border dressing, and change every other day and as needed. The first comprehensive assessment of the pressure ulcer, following re-admission, was completed 01/06/20. The pressure ulcer was 2.3 cm in length by 2.7 cm width with 0.5 cm depth with a moderate amount of serosanguinous drainage. Interview on 01/09/20 at 12:20 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified there was not a comprehensive assessment/measurements of the existing Stage III pressure ulcer at the time of the resident's 01/03/20 readmission.

F 0803 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident. Based on observation, record review and staff interview the facility failed to ensure menu pureed and regular portion sizes were followed during the lunch meal on 01/07/20. This had the potential to affect 94 of 94 residents who received meal trays from the facility, with the exception of Resident #141 who did not receive nutrition from the kitchen. The facility census was 95. Findings include: Review of the lunch menu/spreadsheet for the 01/07/20 lunch meal revealed the meal included mustard glazed beef, mashed potatoes, carrots or green beans, wheat bread and assorted desserts. Observation of the lunch tray line on 01/07/20 at 11:20 A.M. with [NAME] #106 and Dietary Manager #102 revealed the serving of wheat bread was not served with the lunch meal. Review of the menu spreadsheet for Week 3 Day 3 revealed the meal included one slice of wheat bread. Observation of the pureed diet revealed the pureed mustard glazed beef was served with a #8 (four ounce scoop). Review of the menu spreadsheet revealed the pureed beef was to be served with a #6 (5 1/3 ounce scoop), more than what was provided. The pureed carrots were served with a #16 (two ounce scoop). The spreadsheet listed a scoop size of a #12 (2 2/3 ounces) of carrots, more than what was provided. Interview on 01/07/20 at 11:28 A.M. with Dietary Manager #102 revealed the kitchen staff forgot to wrap the individual servings of wheat bread and it was not being served on the trays. Dietary Manager #102 verified they forgot to serve the wheat bread until it was brought to their attention the wheat bread was on the lunch menu and not being served. This affected all the residents in the facility except Resident #114 who did not receive a tray from the kitchen. DM #102 verified the pureed carrots and pureed beef were being served with a smaller scoop size than what was ordered on the Fall/winter menu Week 3 Day 3 which was signed by the Dietician. DM #102 included the pureed diets had the bread portion pureed with the beef. Interview on 01/07/20 at 3:55 P.M. with Dietician #101 revealed the scoop size of the pureed meat entree did not include adding the bread portion to the meat when pureed. Dietician #101 revealed when bread was added to the meat the serving size should go up one level to include the addition of the pureed bread which was not done.
