F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, resident interviews, staff interviews, medical record review, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to provide dignified living conditions for two residents. This affected two (Resident #49 and #81) residents out of three residents (#49, #81, and #220) reviewed for dignity. The facility census was 109 residents. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of medical record for Resident #49 revealed that she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, suicidal ideations, obsessive compulsive disorder, and unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition. Review of her Minimum Data Set on 11/20/24 revealed that she had a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15, indicative of intact cognitive status. Interview with Resident #49 on 12/16/24 at 10:46 A.M. revealed that on many occasions over multiple days, she observed another resident (Resident #63) in his room across the hallway from her exposing himself to her, masturbating, and licking his fingers from his open doorway. Resident #49 explained that she did not feel that it was sexual abuse, but she found Resident #63 to be creepy. She stated that she did not have any adverse affects related to these incidents but it was an undignified way to live. Resident #49 stated she reported her concerns to management and she was told to deal with it, and close (her) door. Interview with Social Services Designee #320 on 12/17/24 at 2:42 P.M. revealed Resident #49 and Resident #63 both had recent room moves that were unrelated to the incidents, but Social Services Designee #320 confirmed she was aware of Resident #49's concerns about Resident #63's sexual acts in his room Resident #49 could observe. Interview with the Administrator on 12/17/24 at 3:00 P.M. confirmed he was aware of Resident #49 being upset that she could see Resident #63 exposing himself from his open door in his room where Resident #49 could see him. Administrator stated that he temporarily moved Resident #63's room, but Resident #63 had to move back to that room again soon thereafter because of a need for an isolation room. He confirmed he did ask Resident #49 if she felt that it was sexual abuse, and that she denied that. Review of a 2016 facility policy called Resident Rights revealed residents had a right to be treated at all times with courtesy, respect, and full recognition of dignity and individuality.

F 0625 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Notify the resident or the resident’s representative in writing how long the nursing home will hold the resident’s bed in cases of transfer to a hospital or therapeutic leave. Based on record review, staff interviews, and resident interviews, and facility policy, the facility failed to provide a bed hold notice to inform residents or their families of their rights regarding the retention of their room and bed during hospitalizations for two (Residents #41 and #76) out of three residents reviewed for hospitalizations. The facility census was 109. Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #41 revealed an admission date of 01/05/24 with a re-entry date of 08/18/24. The resident's diagnoses included pleural effusion, chronic sinusitis, dependence on a respirator, chronic diastolic heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, chronic kidney disease stage IIIB, type II diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, morbid obesity, chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, venous insufficiency, dependence on a wheelchair, hypokalemia, obstructive sleep apnea, cardiomegaly, dependence on supplemental oxygen, hypothyroidism, acquired absence of the left leg below the knee, chronic pain, presence of urogenital implants, lymphedema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

F 0686 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, record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive and individualized pressure ulcer prevention program to prevent the development of avoidable pressure ulcers, timely identify areas of new skin impairment, promote optimal healing, ensure pressure ulcer dressings were provided as ordered and/or prevent the risk of pressure ulcer infection. Residents Affected - Few Actual Harm occurred beginning on 11/19/24 when Resident #54, who had moderate cognitive impairment and was at high risk for pressure ulcer development, was assessed to have a Stage II (partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis) pressure ulcer to the right buttocks that originated from Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD). Due to a lack of individualized and effective interventions, on 11/26/24 Resident #54's right buttock pressure ulcer expanded to a bilateral buttock pressure ulcer. On 12/03/24 the pressure ulcer progressed to a Stage III (full-thickness tissue loss into subcutaneous tissue but does not go into the muscle or bone) bilateral buttock pressure ulcer without evidence of adequate and individualized pressure ulcer prevention interventions being in completed prior to the deterioration/progression. Actual harm occurred on 10/29/24 when Resident #163 who had severe cognitive impairment, was dependent on staff for toileting and transfers, was assessed and documented to be at high risk for pressure ulcer development but had no individualized plan developed to prevent pressure ulcers was identified to have of an unstageable (full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed) pressure ulcer to the sacrum. The facility failed to create and implement an individualized plan to prevent the pressure ulcer resulting in the development and identification of the unstageable ulcer. Actual harm occurred on 08/13/24 when Resident #89, who was at high risk for pressure ulcer development and had a history of unstageable pressure ulcers, developed a new Stage III pressure ulcer to the right ischium. On 08/08/24, the resident's prescribed air mattress malfunctioned and was replaced with a regular bed and a gel overlay, which failed to provide adequate pressure relief. On 08/12/24, a new air mattress was ordered, but documentation on 08/13/24 indicated the replacement air mattress also malfunctioned, causing the resident's buttocks to come into direct contact with the metal bed frame. This resulted in tissue breakdown and the development of the new Stage III pressure ulcer. The facility failed to ensure timely replacement and proper functioning of pressure-relieving equipment, resulting in the development of the Stage III pressure ulcer. This affected three residents (#54, #89, and #163) of five residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was 109. Findings include: 1.Review of the medical record revealed Resident #54 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including a wedge compression fracture of thoracic (T)11-T12 vertebra, chronic respiratory failure, urinary tract infection (UTI), unspecified combined systolic and diastolic heart failure, benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary symptoms, atrial fibrillation, hypertension (HTN), left bundle-branch block, low back pain, bilateral primary osteoarthritis of first carpometacarpal joints, malignant neoplasm of prostate, vitamin D deficiency, presence of cardiac pacemaker, repeated falls, hyperlipidemia, major depressive disorder, constipation, wedge compression fracture of first lumbar vertebra, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tinea unguium, and psoriasis vulgaris.

F 0686 Review of the skin risk/Braden Scale Assessment (a tool used to assess a resident's risk of developing pressure ulcers), dated 7/10/24 revealed Resident #54 was assessed to be at mild risk for pressure injury. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of a nursing progress note dated 07/10/24 at 7:48 P.M. revealed Resident #54 admitted to the facility with an excoriating skin rash all over back area down to coccyx and blisters on the coccyx. Zinc oxide cream and Triad paste (a zinc oxide based hydrophilic paste for light to moderate levels of wound exudate/drainage used to help maintain an optimal wound healing environment) were to be applied on rash twice daily. Review of the physician orders revealed the following orders were in place: Zinc Oxide External cream 10% apply to lower back topically two times a day for excoriating rash with a start date of 7/11/24. Ammonium lactate external cream 12% apply to upper and lower back topically as needed for soilage with a start date of 07/12/24 and an end date of 07/19/24. Review of the Medication Administration Report (MAR) for Resident #54 revealed no evidence the physician orders for Ammonium lactate external cream 12% was administered at all during incontinence episodes during this time period. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 10/29/24 revealed Resident #54 had moderately impaired cognition, required moderate (staff) assistance with toileting, moderate (staff) assistance with upper extremity dressing, maximum (staff) assistance with lower extremity dressing, maximum (staff) assistance with putting on and taking off footwear, and had no pressure ulcers. A skin risk/Braden Scale Assessment completed on 11/01/24 which revealed a high risk for pressure injury development. Review of the comprehensive care plan for Resident #54 revealed a focus on potential alterations in skin integrity. The goal was to prevent skin breakdown through comprehensive review. Interventions included (on 07/10/24) educate resident/family on skin breakdown risk factors and preventative measures, encourage floating heels while in bed, pressure-reducing cushion to the chair, pressure-reducing mattress to the bed, assist with hygiene, including peri-care as needed and barrier cream during showers and after incontinent episodes. A plan of care (dated 08/08/24) revealed the resident had current area of skin impairment to the right buttock. The goal was to heal the existing impairment and prevent further skin breakdown and infection with a target date of 10/08/2024. Interventions included (on 08/08/24) to initiate wound treatment, continue as ordered by the medical director or nurse practitioner, observe and document wound character weekly, and monitor for clinical changes such as infection or worsening of the wound, (on 11/08/24) encourage repositioning as tolerated, (on 11/19/24) apply barrier cream after each incontinent episode and encourage repositioning with pillows as tolerated, (on 12/04/24) air mattress to bed, monitor for proper functioning, and (12/17/24) encourage resident to allow staff to reposition every two hours.

F 0686 physician orders for Triad Hydrophilic wound dress external paste (wound dressings) was administered at all during incontinence episodes from July 2024 to December 2024. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 12/19/24 at 1:54 P.M., observation of Resident #54's Stage III pressure ulcer to the right buttocks revealed the wound bed was red with active bleeding on the incontinence brief. Further observation revealed the physician ordered treatment of Triad following each incontinence episode was not in place. Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) Wound Nurse #500 during the time of the observation verified the resident was provided incontinence care prior to entering the room for the wound observation and the physician ordered treatment of Triad was not in place. Interview on 12/18/24 at 2:35 P.M. with the Wound Doctor (WD) #122 verified Resident#54's wound started as MASD and turned to an open Stage II pressure ulcer wound on 11/19/24. He stated he doesn't remember seeing blisters on his initial assessment. WD #122 stated they were doing zinc barrier and then collogen. He stated there were multiple open areas and the wound changed to a bilateral wound on 11/26/24, but stated there was not a wound on the left buttock only multiple wounds on the right buttock. WD#122 stated he did not measure each area. During the interview, the WD revealed the wound was not being offloaded so it would not heal properly. He stated the Triad paste should be applied on during changes and soilage and stated there were eight separate wounds but since they were in the same area he measured the wounds as one big area. He stated the Triad paste and leaving the areas open to air was the current treatment. Additionally, WD #122 stated the area around the wound wasn't MASD so he didn't want adhesive on the skinned area around the wound. Review of the medical record revealed the facility did not implement the wound/skin prevention interventions as listed in the care plan for Resident #54. The care provided to Resident #54 was also not consistently delivered as planned, resulting in the progression of the MASD to a Stage III pressure ulcer. Despite the progression of Resident #54's skin alteration from Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD) to a Stage II pressure ulcer and then Stage III pressure ulcer, no changes were made to the wound treatments implemented for the resident. The wound, was initially assessed as MASD on 10/16/24, progressed to Stage II on 11/19/24 and later to Stage III on 12/03/24, yet the same treatment plan was followed without modification. Specifically, the use of zinc barrier cream and Triad paste was continued, even after the wound had deepened and required more advanced management. No adjustments were made in the frequency or nature of wound care, nor was the offloading of pressure more rigorously addressed. As a result, the wound failed to heal properly and worsened in severity. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #163 revealed an initial admission date of 09/23/24 with a latest readmission of 12/01/24 with diagnoses including gastrostomy malfunction, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, syncope and collapse, repeated falls, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) with left sided hemiplegia, anxiety disorder, dysphagia, aphasia, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. Review of the resident's plan of care dated 10/12/24 revealed the resident had the potential for pressure ulcer development related to CVA with hemiparesis. Interventions included follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown, incontinence care check and change for incontinence on a routine basis and as needed, turn and reposition as ordered and use lifting device to reduce friction.

Review of the medical record revealed Resident #89 was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including paraplegia, epilepsy, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, muscle weakness, and a colostomy and indwelling catheter in place. Resident #89 was admitted (on 04/03/24) with a Stage III pressure ulcer to the right ischium which measured 4.5 cm in length X 1.5 cm in width, and 1.5 cm in depth. The pressure ulcer healed on 06/04/24. On 07/10/24, a skin risk/Braden Scale Assessment indicated the resident was at mild risk for pressure injury development. However, a follow-up skin assessment conducted on 11/01/24 identified the resident as being at high risk for pressure injury development. Review of the comprehensive care plan for Resident #89 revealed a focus on skin integrity, specifically addressing areas of skin impairment related to pressure on the sacrum and right ischium, as well as non-pressure concerns on the right second toe. The goal was to heal the current impairment and prevent further skin breakdown. Interventions included on 04/04/24 pressure reducing cushion to chair, Prevalon boots to bilateral lower extremities as tolerated, monitor for pain and provide pain-relieving interventions as ordered. On 04/24/24 check function of air mattress every shift was added and revised on 11/19/2024. On 04/27/24 ask resident about pain level prior to dressing change procedure, medicate if needed and air mattress as ordered. On 08/08/24 the care plan was updated to include observe and document the character of the wound weekly, observe for clinical changes, such as infection and/or worsening of wound, and initiate wound treatment as ordered by the medical director (MD)/Nurse practitioner (NP). On 11/08/24 encourage repositioning as tolerated, and on 12/13/24 apply shoes for outside doctor appointments were added. The care plan also had a focus on enhancing the overall management of skin integrity, including interventions initiated on 04/04/24 of daily skin observation and documentation on bath/shower days, on 11/19/24 padding to the right lateral wheelchair, on 12/04/24 to limit time out of bed, and implement enhanced barrier precautions due to wound and colostomy. On 12/17/24 encouraging the resident to allow staff to reposition every two hours was added to the resident's plan of care. Review of the 10/01/24 Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment revealed Resident #89 was cognitively intact and required extensive (staff) assistance with personal care, including bed mobility, transfers, toileting, and sitting to lying positions. a.Review of a nursing progress note on 08/08/24 at 10:36 A.M. noted Resident #89's air mattress was noted to be malfunctioning and per the nurse practitioner discontinue the air mattress and order gel mattress.

F 0686 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few resident's right ischium. The wound bed presented with 100% granulation tissue, measuring 5.0 cm in length by 1.5 cm in width with 0.1 cm depth. A new order was provided to cleanse the wound with normal saline (NS) or wound cleanser (WC), pat dry, apply Calcium Alginate to the wound bed, and cover with a foam dressing. The dressing was to be changed daily (QD) and as needed (PRN). Additionally, the assessment revealed an issue with the air mattress placed beneath the resident. The mattress was noted to be deflated at the buttocks area, causing pressure on the metal frame, which was not detected by the pump's alarm for low pressure. The resident, who was alert and oriented (A&O x 4) was paraplegic and unable to feel sensations below the waist. A new order was provided to replace the malfunctioning air mattress. The resident was assisted out of bed and into a wheelchair. The medical supply company was contacted and requested to replace the air mattress. The mattress was replaced, and the new air mattress was confirmed to be functioning properly. Interview with Resident # 89 on 12/23/24 at 8:13 A.M. revealed he could feel when the air mattress failed as he was able to feel it on his back and he felt with his hands that the bed was deflated. He stated he alerted the staff, and it took approximately an hour for them to respond. The resident stated the bed had no audible alarm or any other type of notification that he was aware of when it malfunctioned. During the interview, the resident voiced concerns that staff did not actually observe his skin during repositioning. Interview on 12/24/24 at 12:10 P.M. with Wound Nurse #500 confirmed on 08/08/24 she found the resident's air mattress was losing air, so the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) ordered a gel overlay to put on a regular mattress. Wound Nurse #500 noticed the gel overlay was dispersing but not offloading for the wound, so she ordered a new air mattress that came on 08/12/24. That bed malfunctioned on 08/13/24 and a new bed was ordered. The resident was on regular mattress with a gel overlay for four days. The resident developed a Stage III pressure ulcer as a result. b. In addition, review of the care provided to Resident #89 related to pressure ulcers revealed the following concerns with treatments not completed as ordered: Santyl External Ointment 250 Unit/GM (Collagenase) with orders to apply to right ischium topically every day shift for wound care was not completed on 10/04/24,10/06/24, 10/08/24, 10/21/24, 11/07/24, 11/12/24 or 11/14/24. Right Ischium: Cleanse with NS, pat dry. Apply Santyl (nickel thick) to wound bed then moistened gauze and cover with clean dry dressing daily and as needed was not completed on 10/04/24, 10/08/24, 10/21/24, 10/24/24 or 11/06/24. Monitor Right Ischium, Bilateral buttocks, left 2nd toe for s/s of infection. If noted, report to NP/MD & management/wound nurse every shift was not completed on 10/17/24, 11/07/24 or 12/11/24. Interview on 12/23/24 at 3:44 P.M. with Wound Nurse #500 verified the dates of the missed wound treatments and interventions and stated there was no justification for the missed wound care and treatments. c.

Interview on 12/24/24 at 10:15 A.M. with the Regional Nurse #504 and Interim Director of Nursing (IDON) #506 revealed there were discrepancies between the wound nurse and wound physicians' assessment. They stated the wound nurse and wound physician should be communicating those differences and additionally verified the wound nurse and wound physician are not communicating their differences in assessment. Review of the Skin and Wound Management Policy dated October 2024 revealed the purpose of the Skin and Wound Management policy was to provide an approach in the prevention and management of pressure injuries and skin alterations using the nursing process and other strategies to assist in identifying residents at risk for developing pressure injuries. This approach was in accordance with State and federal regulations. Select appropriate support surfaces based on the resident's mobility, continence, skin moisture and perfusion, body size, weight, and overall risk factors. The physician would assist the staff to identify the type (for example, arterial or stasis ulcer) and characteristics (presence of necrotic tissue, status of wound bed, etc.). The physician would order pertinent wound treatments, including pressure reduction surfaces, wound cleansing and debridement approaches, dressings (occlusive, absorptive, etc.), and application of topical agents. The physician would guide the care plan as appropriate, especially when wounds were not healing as anticipated or new wounds develop despite existing interventions.
