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

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.

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.
