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
record review, resident and staff interviews, review of hospital records, and facility policy review, the facility
failed to timely treat and assess a pressure ulcer and prevent the pressure ulcer from worsening for one
resident (Resident #234).
Residents Affected - Few
Actual Harm occurred on 08/01/23 when Resident #234 was admitted to the facility with a Stage II (partial
thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red or pink wound bed, without slough or
bruising) pressure wound to her left proximal (back) upper thigh that worsened to a Stage III (full-thickness
tissue loss into subcutaneous tissue but does not go into the muscle or bone) pressure ulcer without
evidence of routine skin assessments or timely treatments. This affected one resident (Resident #234) out

Review of progress notes dated from 08/01/23 to 08/22/23 revealed no documentation of Resident #234's
pressure ulcer wound until 08/20/23 at 11:17 A.M.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the physician's orders dated for August 2023 revealed no evidence the physician was notified of
Resident #234's admission or of any wound treatments being implemented for Resident #234 until 08/20/23
(19 days after admission).
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated
August 2023 revealed Resident #234 did not receive any wound treatments until 08/20/23.
Review of the Skin Observation task dated from 08/01/23 to 08/28/23 revealed an open area was noted for
Resident #234 on 08/12/23 at 6:53 P.M.
Review of the Skin Grid-Pressure assessment dated [DATE] at 4:56 P.M. revealed documentation of an
initial assessment of a wound located on Resident #234's left posterior upper thigh. The assessment noted
the wound as a Stage III pressure ulcer. The wound measured 4.2 cm long by 2.2 cm wide by 0.1 cm deep.
The wound had a moderate amount of serous (clear to yellow fluid that leaks out of a wound) drainage. The
physician, resident representative, and dietitian were notified of the presence of the wound on 08/21/23. A
new wound treatment was ordered to cleanse with normal saline, pack wound with alginate, and cover with
an absorbent dressing. The dressing was to be changed daily and as needed.
Interview on 08/22/23 at 9:39 A.M. with Resident #234 revealed the resident had a pressure ulcer wound to
the back of her left thigh when she was admitted to the facility. Resident #234 stated the facility staff did not
assess or treat the wound until recently (about three times since admission). Resident #234 stated the
wound bled sometimes and left soiled areas on the sheets. Resident #234 stated she experienced an
increase in pain from that area since admission but is not able to see the area herself.
Interviews on 08/23/23 at 10:31 A.M. and 10:55 A.M. with Unit Manager (UM) #175 and Regional Nurse
(RGN) #210 revealed staff used the After Visit Summary (AVS) to determine medications and treatment
orders and did not review the hospital records upon admission. Staff should contact the physician to
reconcile the orders. It is up to the physician to review the hospital records and have knowledge of what the
resident was in the hospital for and what treatment was provided. RGN #210 stated the facility initiated a
new directive to complete two skin assessments and record reviews upon admission to ensure nothing was
missed.
Interview on 08/23/23 at 4:48 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #121 revealed she worked on 08/20/23 and
assessed Resident #234's pressure wound. RN #121 stated Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #192 asked
her how a resident could be added to wound rounds. RN #121 and LPN #192 reviewed Resident #234's
admission assessment and the skin grid in the assessment noted a wound to the resident's left gluteal
area. RN #121 confirmed there was not a wound treatment in place, or any wound measurements
completed at the time she assessed Resident #234 on 08/20/23. RN #121 stated Resident #234 reported
she had pain in that area when she sat down and had asked LPN #192 to put something on it on 08/19/23
and 08/20/23. RN #121 pulled up the Admit/Readmit Screener assessment dated [DATE] and stated it was
the assessment that she had reviewed prior to assessing the resident. RN #121 stated the Skin Integrity
section of the assessment noted the area when she reviewed it, however, it was blank when reviewed
today, 08/23/23. RN #121 stated, I promise you; it was there.

Interview on 08/24/23 at 12:23 P.M. with LPN #192 via telephone revealed she worked during night shift on
08/19/23 and 08/20/23 and assessed Resident #234's wound area. LPN #192 confirmed Resident #234
was admitted with a wound to her left gluteal area on 08/01/23 and the area was noted on the skin grid in
the Admit/Readmit Screener assessment dated [DATE]. LPN #192 stated she became aware of the wound
when Resident #234 told her about it and that the area was draining and was uncomfortable. LPN #192
stated she checked for a treatment order and there was no order in place. LPN #192 placed a dry dressing
on the wound on 08/19/23. Resident #234 requested to have the dressing changed again on 08/20/23 and
at that time, LPN #192 decided she needed to confirm an appropriate treatment for the wound. LPN #192
notified RN #121 and they assessed the wound together and took measurements. The nurses placed a
clean dry dressing on the wound and notified the physician. Resident #234 was also added to the list to be
seen by the wound team. LPN #192 confirmed from 08/01/23 to 08/20/23, Resident #234 did not have a
wound treatment in place and the pressure ulcer was not monitored appropriately.
Interview on 08/25/23 at 5:20 P.M. with LPN #189 via telephone revealed he completed Resident #234's
admission on [DATE]. LPN #189 confirmed he did see Resident #234's wound on her buttocks area and
noted it in the skin grid of the Admit/Readmit Screener assessment. LPN #189 stated the Unit Manager
was supposed to double check the assessment and pass the information on to the wound team to have
Resident #234 seen but I guess that didn't happen. LPN #189 stated he also noted the presence of a
wound in the dietary section of the admission assessment to ensure Resident #234 received enough
protein in her diet.
Follow-up interview on 08/28/23 at 2:25 P.M. with Resident #234 in her room confirmed again she had been
admitted with an open wound on the back of her left upper thigh/buttock area. Resident #234 stated she
informed the staff a couple of times about the wound but the staff wouldn't listen. Resident #234 confirmed
she did not receive any treatment to the wound until recently.
Review of the facility policy, Prevention of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries, revised 07/2017, revealed the policy
instructed staff to assess the resident on admission for existing pressure ulcer/injury risk factors. Repeat as
needed and upon any changes in condition. Conduct a comprehensive skin assessment upon admission,
including skin integrity-any evidence of existing or developing pressure ulcers or injuries. Evaluate, report,
and document potential changes in the skin. Review the interventions and strategies for effectiveness on an
ongoing basis.
