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 observation, interview, record review, and review of the facility policy the facility failed to ensure individualized care planned interventions were developed and followed to prevent Resident #32 and Resident #1 from developing in-house pressure ulcers and failed to ensure the pressure ulcers were timely identified, properly treated, and interventions were initiated to promote healing. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure Resident's #24, #29 and #71 had pressure ulcer risk evaluations completed quarterly, failed to ensure Resident #81 had skin checks and treatments completed as ordered, and failed to ensure Resident #81's physician orders and care planned interventions were followed for heel protectors. This affected six residents (#32, #1, #24, #29, #71, and #81) of seven residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 102.
Residents Affected - Few
Actual Harm occurred on 08/07/24 when Resident #32, who was at risk for developing pressure ulcers, and was dependent on staff for bed mobility and incontinence care was identified to have new areas of in-house acquired skin impairment with no additional assessment or new treatment at that time. On 08/07/24 the facility assessed Resident #32 to have one new, 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 his sacral area and a right below the knee amputation (BKA) eschar covered surgical wound, without proper prevention, treatment and interventions implemented. Resident #32's family voiced concerns staff did not provide timely assistance with turning and repositioning and off-loading his right BKA. Resident #32's wounds deteriorated, and he was transported to the hospital on [DATE] for evaluation and treatment of osteomyelitis (inflammation of the bone caused by an infection).
Findings include: 1. Review of Resident #32's medical record revealed an admission date of 12/04/19 and a reentry date of 02/20/24. Diagnoses included unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction, dementia, type two diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia, and acquired absence of right leg below the knee (10/28/19) and left leg below the knee (08/31/21). Review of Resident #32's physician orders dated 04/25/24 revealed to turn and reposition frequently with rounds and as needed every shift. Review of Resident #32's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk dated 05/16/24 revealed Resident #32 was at high risk for pressure ulcer development. Review of Resident #32's medical record, including progress notes, medication administration record (MAR), treatment administration records (TAR), physician orders from 07/01/24 through 08/14/24 did not reveal evidence Resident #32's right BKA was off loaded, or he was encouraged to off load his right BKA. Review of Resident #32's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) was not completed due to the resident being rarely or never understood.

Review of Resident #32's After Visit Summary and Provider Notes for his hospital stay from 08/28/24 through 09/10/24 included Resident #32 had chronic osteomyelitis of the femur. Resident #32 had a right BKA stump complication, an open wound and was sent to the ED for an infection at the surgical site. Resident #32 had an ulceration to the surgical site of the right stump. Resident #32 had right BKA stump wound with acute right tibial osteomyelitis and was status post right BKA stump debridement on 09/03/24. Resident #32 had a full thickness wound to the right BKA stump, and the wound base was fibrotic with eschar noted. The wound was granular with edema, minor drainage and bleeding. Resident #32 had a Wound Vac placement. Resident #32 had an area of necrotic tissue on his sacrum about the size of a quarter and had a debridement of the sacral decubitus. Measurements on 08/29/24 of Resident #32's right knee were length 3.0 cm, width 3.0 cm and the depth was not determined. The wound was dry, pink, red in color and had a small amount of thick drainage. Resident #32's sacral measurements on 08/29/24 were length 8.0 cm, width 8.0 cm, depth was not determined, and there was a moderate amount of pink, red thick drainage. Interview on 09/09/24 at 9:54 A.M. of Family Member (FM) #701 revealed Resident #32 was a double amputee, could not speak, was admitted to the facility and resided on the rehab nursing unit. Resident #32 developed a bed sore which cleared up, then was transferred to the long-term care nursing unit. While residing on the long-term care nursing unit, Resident #32 developed another bed sore on his bottom, a wound on his stump, and was admitted to the hospital. FM #701 stated Resident #32 had an infection that went to the bone, and he required a procedure on his stump and had a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. FM #701 stated the facility was like two separate nursing homes and one received good care, and one side (the long-term side) received poor care. FM #701 stated there was a huge difference between the nursing units. FM #701 indicated when the family visited, and Resident #32 resided on the long-term hall the call light would be activated because Resident #32 needed care, and the nurses and aides did not come. FM #701 stated Resident #32 was not turned and repositioned unless the family requested it, and his right leg was not propped up, so it wasn't resting on the mattress. FM #701 stated the right stump must have been rubbing against the sheet. FM #701 stated every time the family visited the facility, Resident #32's right stump was not propped up and they had to constantly tell the nurses and aides about it. FM #701 indicated he talked to Social Services Designee (SSD) #632 and Unit Manager (UM) #702 about Resident #32's care. FM #701 revealed on the long-term side the black props were not used and instead the staff used pillows or sheets, and often when he visited, he found Resident #32's right stump resting directly on the pillow or sheets causing pressure directly to the area where the wound developed. FM #701 stated he told SSD #632 and UM #702 the staff on the long-term side needed education on how to properly position Resident #32. Observation on 09/11/24 at 11:48 A.M. with CWNP #700 and WN #629 of Resident #32's dressing changes revealed his right leg amputation site dressing was intact with a moderate amount of pink and brown drainage. The wound size was approximately one inch in diameter, and the wound bed was a dark pink, red with a white center, fascia (a thin, flexible, connective tissue) per CWNP #700). CWNP #700 stated when she first saw the wound on 08/07/24 it was 100 percent covered in eschar and it progressed to have a hole in the center with purulent drainage, she ordered an x-ray to rule out osteomyelitis, but the x-ray was fine and did not show osteomyelitis. Further observation revealed Resident #32 had a bilateral sacral open area with pink, brown drainage, the wound base had a white center (fat

CWNP #700 stated the black wedge positioning device should be under the sheet and under Resident #32, and it had to be positioned properly to work. Interview on 09/11/24 at 1:59 P.M. of FM #703 revealed Resident #32 did not have a problem with his stumps until he was moved to the long-term nursing care side of the facility. FM #703 stated when Resident #32 was moved to the long-term care unit, he was not always turned and repositioned, and his leg was not always elevated off the mattress. FM #703 stated the family often reminded staff to turn and reposition Resident #32 and to elevate his right BKA. Observation on 09/11/24 at 2:00 P.M. of Resident #32 revealed he was lying on his back in bed, and his right and left BKA's were lying directly on the mattress, not off-loaded. Interview on 09/11/24 at 2:21 P.M. of STNA #555 confirmed Resident #32's right and left BKA's were not off-loaded from the mattress. Interview on 09/11/24 at 3:28 P.M. of WN #629 revealed the first time she saw Resident #32's wounds on his right stump and buttock was on 08/07/24 when the aides informed her that Resident #32 had a wound on his butt. WN #629 stated, when Resident #32 was rolled onto his side to look at his sacral area, she also saw a wound on the right BKA. WN #629 indicated Resident #32 had a sacral pressure ulcer in the past, but it was cleared up in 05/2024, and Resident #32 did not have wounds to his right BKA and sacrum before 08/07/24. WN #629 confirmed Resident #32's treatments were not documented as completed in the TAR, and it was challenging to make sure treatments and skin checks were completed as ordered. WN #629 stated, sometimes the nurses charted they did the treatments, but she would find dressings with old dates that did not correspond to the date they were signed off they were completed on the TAR. Interview on 09/11/24 at 3:37 P.M. of STNA #529 revealed she worked on the rehab side of the facility and took care of Resident #32.

Interview on 09/12/24 at 11:16 A.M. of STNA #546 revealed Resident #32's treatments were not getting done on either his right BKA and his butt wound (sacrum). STNA #546 stated it depended on the nurse to determine if his treatments were completed. Interview on 09/12/24 at 11:52 A.M. of STNA #544 revealed he was aware Resident #32 had a sacral wound, but he did not know about the right BKA wound because Resident #32's right leg rested on the mattress right where the sore was. Interview on 09/18/24 at 1:00 P.M. of the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #32's shower sheet dated 08/04/24 had an area to his buttocks (sacrum) identified, and the area was not documented or evaluated until 08/07/24. The DON stated the nurse did not sign the sheet and turned it in without addressing the area to Resident #32's buttocks (sacrum). The DON confirmed she was aware random treatments were not being completed for Resident #32's sacral pressure ulcer and right BKA wound. Interview on 09/18/24 at 2:05 P.M. of UM #702 revealed Resident #32's son talked to her about his care, and he was concerned about Resident #32 not getting turned and repositioned and was also

Review of the facility policy titled Prevention of Pressure Injuries, revised 04/2020, included the purpose was to provide information regarding identification of pressure injury risk factors and interventions for specific risk factors. Assess the resident on admission (within eight hours) for existing pressure injury risk factors and repeat the risk assessment weekly and upon any changes in condition. Inspect the skin daily when performing or assisting with personal care or activities of daily living (ADL). Identify any signs of developing pressure injuries, inspect pressure points, and reposition resident as indicated on the care plan. Choose a frequency for repositioning based on the resident's risk factors and current clinical practice guidelines. Evaluate, report and document potential changes in the skin.

The staff reported Resident #147 was unable to walk and if she had fallen, she would not be able to get herself off the floor. The facility staff stated none of this happened, and the physician was contacted for a portable x-ray and to restart Resident #147's Xanax (anti-anxiety) medication. The nurse thought all this was related to behavior problems Resident #147 had in the past. Resident #147 refused the portable x-ray because the images would be crappy and not show anything and insisted on being transported to the hospital for x-rays and treatment. Resident #147's right knee, where she reported having most of her pain was examined and found to be very swollen and painful. Resident #147 also complained of pain in her foot and ankle. EMS administered Fentanyl (narcotic pain reliever) to Resident #147 with no improvement in her pain and she was crying and sobbing, and she was transported to the local hospital and her care was transferred to the charge nurse at the hospital. Review of Resident #147's Emergency Department (ED) provider notes dated 09/04/24 through 09/05/24 included on 09/04/24 at 9:25 P.M. Resident #147's x-ray results revealed she had an acute fracture of the distal right femur, fracture was slightly angulated and comminuted, and she had right knee soft tissue swelling and joint effusion. Resident #147 presented to the ED for knee pain. Upon arrival to the ED, Resident #147 was hypertensive with otherwise stable vital signs. On exam Resident #147 had obvious swelling noted to the right knee with severe pain to palpation. Due to Resident #147's severe pain she was administered intravenous Morphine (narcotic pain reliever) and Zofran (antiemetic) for nausea. Review of Resident #147's after visit summary for the hospital stay, 09/05/24 through 09/06/24, included Resident #147 had a closed fracture of the right femur, unspecified fracture morphology (number of fragments and fracture lines), unspecified portion of the femur. Review of facility self-reported incident (SRI) tracking number 251548 dated 09/05/24 at 11:48 A.M. revealed the facility reported an allegation of staff-to-resident physical abuse involving Resident #147. The staff, including the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON), became aware of the incident on 09/05/24 at approximately 9:00 A.M. (the nurses were aware on 09/04/24). The SRI included Resident #147 did not provide meaningful information when she was interviewed, and was care planned

for making false allegations (not included in the care plan until 09/04/24), behaviors, refusing care, and dialysis. Resident #147 was cognitively intact with confusion. Resident #147 frequently yelled out, moaned, and was verbally aggressive with staff. On the evening of 09/03/24 Resident #147 returned from the hospital at approximately 6:00 P.M. Upon entering the room to answer her call light, an unidentified STNA found Resident #147 had transferred herself into her wheelchair and then onto the toilet by herself. The STNAs assisted Resident #147 to her wheelchair and then she was transferred to her bed. On 09/04/24, Resident #147 had onsite dialysis at the facility and had no issues in dialysis (Resident #147 complained of pain at a seven out of ten pain while in dialysis). After dialysis, Resident #147 was in the common area and at 5:00 P.M. per her request she was transferred into her bed and voiced no concerns (she told staff she had pain). Later that evening the facility received a call from the police stating Resident #147 called and stated she was in pain. An unidentified nurse went into Resident #147's room, and Resident #147 complained of right leg pain. The nurse noted no swelling or discoloration (the ambulance personnel found her right knee swollen and painful). Resident #147 did not have orders for pain medication, the on-call nurse, and physician were notified, and new orders for pain medication (no pain medication was ordered; Xanax was ordered on 09/04/24 after the resident was transferred to the ED), and an x-ray was to be completed. An unidentified aide entered Resident #147's room to collect her tray and check on Resident #147, found her crying, she stated she was in pain and called 911. The police contacted the facility stating Resident #147 called them three times, and they were sending an ambulance to the facility. Resident #147 was yelling and told the nurse she needed to go to the hospital because her leg was broken. Resident #147 was told the facility had an order for an x-ray, and Resident #147 was insistent and screamed she wanted to go to the hospital. On 09/05/24, the facility was made aware via the hospital that Resident #147 had a fractured femur and reported she was dropped or fell from the mechanical lift. An SRI was initiated, and an investigation began. Resident #147 was not witnessed to have a fall, and not witnessed to have a fall from the mechanical lift. Resident #147 told the social worker she fell while transferring herself in the bathroom. Resident #147 had a complex medical history, idiopathic aseptic necrosis, an unhealing fractured pelvis, Resident #147's bones were fragile, and the bones could fracture with the slightest movement. The fracture could have happened anytime Resident #147 moved her leg, Resident #147 transferred herself, or possibly from the movement that occurred naturally during mechanical lifts. Resident #147 called 911 herself to be sent out to the hospital, and an investigation was immediately started (the investigation was not initiated until 09/05/24 at 11:48 A.M). The allegation was unsubstantiated. Review of a witness statement dated 09/04/24 and written by STNA #524 stated, on 09/04/24 she entered Resident #147's room to collect her dinner tray, and Resident #147 was crying. Resident #147 stated she was crying and saying she could not eat because she was in pain, someone pushed her too hard, and she called 911. Review of a witness statement dated 09/05/24 and written by LPN #596 stated, on 09/04/24 the police called and told her Resident #147 called 911, this was the third call today, and the police were sending an ambulance. LPN #596 found Resident #147 crying when she entered her room, and said she wanted to leave and go to the hospital. LPN #596 asked Resident #147 why, and she said, my leg is broke, they were rough with me, I want to go, I want to go. The ambulance arrived shortly after and the DON and LPN #596's supervisor were notified. LPN #596 stated, Resident #147 did not have a prescription for pain medication because her pain medication was discontinued at the hospital prior to her discharge. LPN #596's unidentified supervisor told her Resident #147 had an order for Xanax and an order for an x-ray. Resident #147 refused the x-ray ordered to be done at the facility and left the facility via the ambulance on 09/04/24 at

Dialysis Nurse #644 stated she did not document that she told the nurses about the pain, and stated she could not remember who she told. Review of the facility policy titled Administering Pain Medications, revised 03/2020, included the purpose of the procedure was to provide guidelines for assessing the resident's level of pain prior to administering analgesic pain medication. Pain management was a multidisciplinary care process that included the following: assessing the potential for pain, recognizing the presence of pain, identifying the characteristics of pain, addressing the underlying causes of the pain, developing and implementing approaches to pain management, monitoring the effectiveness of interventions and modifying approaches as necessary. Comprehensive pain assessments were conducted upon admission to the facility, at the quarterly review, whenever there was a significant change in condition, and when there was onset of new pain or worsening of existing pain. Acute pain (or significant worsening of chronic pain) should be assessed every 30 to 60 minutes after the onset and reassessed as indicated until relief was obtained. Document the following in the resident's medical record: results of the pain assessment, medication, dose, route of administration, results of the medication.

Resident #32 had right BKA stump wound with acute right tibial osteomyelitis and was status post right BKA stump debridement on 09/03/24. Resident #32 had a full thickness wound to the right BKA stump, and the wound base was fibrotic with eschar noted. The wound was granular with edema, minor drainage and bleeding. Resident #32 had a Wound Vac placement. Resident #32 had an area of necrotic tissue on his sacrum about the size of a quarter and had a debridement of the sacral decubitus. Measurements on 08/29/24 of Resident #32's right knee were length 3.0 cm, width 3.0 cm and the depth was not determined. The wound was dry, pink, red in color and had a small amount of thick drainage. Resident #32's sacral measurements on 08/29/24 were length 8.0 cm, width 8.0 cm, depth was not determined, and there was a moderate amount of pink, red thick drainage. Interview on 09/09/24 at 9:54 A.M. of Family Member (FM) #701 revealed Resident #32 was a double amputee, could not speak, was admitted to the facility and resided on the rehab nursing unit. Resident #32 developed a bed sore which cleared up, then was transferred to the long-term care nursing unit. While residing on the long-term care nursing unit, Resident #32 developed another bed sore on his bottom, a wound on his stump, and was admitted to the hospital. FM #701 stated Resident #32 had an infection that went to the bone, and he required a procedure on his stump and had a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. FM #701 stated the facility was like two separate nursing homes and one received good care, and one side (the long-term side) received poor care. FM #701 stated there was a huge difference between the nursing units. FM #701 indicated when the family visited, and Resident #32 resided on the long-term hall the call light would be activated because Resident #32 needed care, and the nurses and aides did not come. FM #701 stated Resident #32 was not turned and repositioned unless the family requested it, and his right leg was not propped up, so it wasn't resting on the mattress. FM #701 stated the right stump must have been rubbing against the sheet. FM #701 stated every time the family visited the facility, Resident #32's right stump was not propped up and they had to constantly tell the nurses and aides about it. FM #701 indicated he talked to Social Services Designee (SSD) #632 and Unit Manager (UM) #702 about Resident #32's care. FM #701 revealed on the long-term side the black props were not used and instead the staff used pillows or sheets, and often when he visited, he found Resident #32's right stump resting directly on the pillow or sheets causing pressure directly to the area where the wound developed. FM #701 stated he told SSD #632 and UM #702 the staff on the long-term side needed education on how to properly position Resident #32. Interview on 09/18/24 at 1:00 P.M. of the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #32's shower sheet dated 08/04/24 had an area to his buttocks (sacrum) identified, and the area was not documented or evaluated until 08/07/24. The DON stated the nurse did not sign the sheet and turned it in without addressing the area to Resident #32's buttocks (sacrum). The DON confirmed she was aware random treatments were not being completed for Resident #32's sacral pressure ulcer and right BKA wound. 2. Actual Harm occurred on 08/26/24 between approximately 1:30 A.M. to 1:40 A.M. when Resident #197, who was severely cognitively impaired, assessed to be at moderate to high risk for falls, dependent on staff for toileting and incontinent of both bowel and bladder sustained an unwitnessed fall resulting in a left femur fracture, a large left intramuscular hematoma, right tibia fracture, right fibula fracture, a non-displaced fracture of the right superior pubic ramus, an anterior acetabular column fracture, an inferior right pubic ramus fracture, and right sacrum fractures as a result of a fall. Prior to the fall, the resident had last been toileted on 08/25/24 at 9:21 P.M. (five hours earlier). The resident had been left unattended with bare feet and no pants, wearing only a brief, in a chair in the activity room at 1:00 A.M. by State Tested
