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 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.

Review of the plan of care dated 08/23/18 revealed the resident was at risk for skin breakdown related to impaired mobility. Interventions included 06/17/19 use of a low air loss mattress to bed to promote skin integrity and float heels while in bed as resident will allow. Review of the 11/17/19 quarterly 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 on two staff for transfers, required extensive assist of one staff for dressing, was independent for eating, required extensive assist of two staff for toileting, extensive assist of one staff for personal hygiene and had a pressure reducing device for bed.
