**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, staff interview, review of the facility policy and review of online resource, guidelines from the
National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), the facility failed to properly assess residents for risk
factors for developing pressure ulcers, failed to conduct an admission skin assessment, and failed to
implement a care plan to prevent the development of pressure ulcers. This affected one resident (#08) of
three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility identified three residents with pressure ulcers. The
census was 50 residents.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #08 revealed an admission date of 08/04/23 with diagnoses
including malignant neoplasm of the colon, hypertension, and sciatica, and a discharge date of 08/22/23.
Review of the admission assessment and baseline care plan for Resident #08 dated 08/04/23, revealed the
assessment was incomplete and it did not include an assessment of the resident's skin, resident's risk
factors for the development of pressure ulcers (Braden scale), and a baseline care to prevent pressure
ulcers.
Review of the care conference summary for Resident #08 dated 08/09/23, revealed the resident had a red
area to his mid back, and the Director of Nursing (DON) was going to reach out to hospice to see if they
could provide an air mattress for the resident.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment 3.0 for Resident #08 dated 08/10/23 revealed resident
was cognitively impaired and required extensive assistance of one staff with activities of daily living (ADLs.)
Review of the nurse's progress note for Resident #08 dated 08/10/23, revealed the nurse spoke with the
hospice nurse who said hospice would be ordering a low air loss mattress for the resident which should
arrive on 08/10/23.
Review of the nurse's progress note for Resident #08 dated 08/11/23, revealed the nurse obtained an order

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the wound assessment for Resident #08 dated 08/14/23, revealed the resident had an
unstageable pressure ulcer to the upper sacrum which measured 1.5 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.5 cm
in width by 0.1 cm in depth with 50 percent (%) slough tissue noted to the wound bed. Resident #08 was
admitted to the facility under hospice care and was at high risk for the development of pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with DON on 08/23/23 at 9:01 A.M., confirmed Resident #08 was admitted on [DATE] and was
receiving hospice services due to malignant neoplasm of the colon. The DON confirmed facility did not
complete a skin assessment upon admission for the resident, the facility did not conduct a risk assessment
for the potential for the development of pressure ulcers, and the facility did not initiate a baseline care plan
regarding prevention of pressure ulcers for resident. The DON confirmed the facility did not put a care plan
in place for resident's risk of skin breakdown until 08/16/23 which was after the resident had already
developed a pressure ulcer which was first noted by staff on 08/11/23 and first staged by the wound nurse
practitioner on 08/14/23.
Review of the undated facility policy titled Pressure Ulcers Skin Breakdown Clinical Protocol revealed the
nursing staff will assess and document an individual's significant risk factors for developing pressure sores
and staff will examine the skin of a new admission for ulcerations or alterations in skin.
Review of the undated facility policy titled Pressure Reducing and Relieving Devices revealed residents at
risk for developing pressure ulcers should be placed on a redistribution support surface such as foam, gel,
static air, alternating air, or air loss gel when lying in bed. The Braden scale is used to help determine the
risk for developing pressure ulcers. Mattresses are chosen for the resident based on Braden Scale
pressure ulcer risk.
Review of the online resource NPUAP resource titled Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Clinical
Practice Guideline at (https://npiap.com/general/custom.asp?page=2014Guidelines) downloaded on
08/23/23 revealed on page 48 that the facility should use a structured approach to risk assessment that is
refined through the use of clinical judgment and informed by knowledge of relevant risk factors to assess
residents' risk for the development of skin breakdown. For individuals at risk of pressure ulcers, the facility
should conduct a comprehensive skin assessment as soon as possible but within eight hours of admission.

Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Based on record review, observation, resident interview, staff interview, review of facility policy, and review
of guidelines from the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP), the facility failed to ensure
Resident #46's pain was managed during a dressing change to the residents Stage IV pressure ulcer
(full-thickens loss of skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle tendon ligament,
cartilage, or bone in the ulcer) on her sacrum. This resulted in Actual Harm to Resident #46 when the
resident was not pre-medicated for pain prior to the wound care treatment which resulted in the resident
exhibiting signs of severe pain and the nurse continued the wound treatment without addressing the
resident's pain. This affected one resident (#46) of the three residents reviewed for pain management. The
facility census was 50.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the record for Resident #46 revealed an admission date of 10/08/21 with diagnoses of multiple
sclerosis (MS), diabetes mellitus (DM), dementia without behavioral disturbance, mood disorder, chronic
viral hepatitis B, and personality disorder.
Review of the physician orders dated 10/08/21 for Resident #46, revealed the resident was ordered to
receive Tylenol 500 milligram (mgs) every six hours as needed (PRN) for pain and Percocet (narcotic pain
relief) 5-325 mg PRN every six hours for moderate to severe pain.
Review of the significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment 3.0 for Resident #46 dated
08/13/23, revealed the resident was cognitively impaired and required extensive assistance of one to two
staff with activities of daily living (ADLs.)
Review of the wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) note for Resident #46 dated 08/21/23, revealed the resident
had a large stage IV pressure ulcer over her sacrum which was unavoidable due to severe
hypoalbuminemia which measured 6.5 centimeters (cm) in length by 1.0 cm by 3.0 cm, undermining with
maximum distance of 2.0 cm. Osteomyelitis was suspected and the resident was being treated with
Doxycycline (antibiotic).
Review of the controlled substance sheets for Resident #46, revealed the last dose of PRN Percocet 5-325
mg administered to the resident, prior to wound care was recorded as being administered on 08/22/23 at
9:30 A.M.
Review of the care plan for Resident #46 updated 08/22/23, revealed the resident had suspected
osteomyelitis infection of the sacrum/coccyx. Interventions included the following: administer antibiotic as
per physician orders, treatment as ordered, monitor for symptoms/complications of osteomyelitis such as:
bone pain, excessive sweating, fever/chills, general discomfort/malaise, local swelling/redness/warmth,
wound drainage/pus, and pain at site of infection.
Observation of wound care for Resident #46 on 08/23/23 at 11:58 A.M. completed by Registered Nurse
(RN) #910, revealed the nurse did not assess the resident's pain level prior to or during the would care
dressing change. Resident #46 moaned while nurse was removing packing from the deep stage IV
pressure ulcer on the resident's sacrum. RN #910 apologized to the resident for the pain. State Tested
Nursing Assistant (STNA) #330 was assisting the nurse with positioning the resident during wound care.
Resident #46 was on her right side and was facing STNA #330. When RN #910 cleansed the inside of the
wound and began to pack the wound with Betadine-soaked gauze, the resident moaned more loudly

and complained of pain. STNA #330 comforted the resident and told her to squeeze her hand. The
Surveyor questioned the resident regarding her pain level and the resident said her pain was eight (pain
scale where zero = none and 10 = severe). RN #910 then applied an abdominal (ABD) pad to cover the
wound and asked the resident if she would like pain medication before continuing with wound care, and the
resident confirmed she would like to have a dose of the Percocet. Continued observation of wound care
revealed Resident #46 was not administered any medications for pain relief.
Interview with RN #910 on 08/23/23 at 12:18 P.M. confirmed the last time Resident #46 had received any
pain medication was on 08/22/23 at 9:30 A.M. RN #910 confirmed she had not assessed Resident #46 for
pain prior to the wound dressing procedure. RN #910 confirmed Resident #46 should be assessed and
offered pain medication prior to the dressing change to her stage IV pressure ulcer.
Interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 8/23/23 at 1:37 P.M. confirmed Resident #46 should be
assessed for pain prior to and during wound care. DON indicated Resident #46 should have received pain
medication approximately 45 minutes prior to the wound care procedure due to the severity of the resident's
wound.
Review of the controlled substance sheets for Resident #46 received on 08/25/23, revealed no documented
evidence the resident was administered a PRN Percocet or Tylenol during the resident's dressing change to
her stage IV sacral ulcer on 08/23/23.
Review of the online resource NPUAP resource titled Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Clinical
Practice Guideline at (https://npiap.com/general/custom.asp?page=2014Guidelines) downloaded on
08/23/23, revealed on page 144 that evidence suggests that individuals with Category/Stage IV pressure
ulcers experience more pain than individuals with lower Category/Stage ulcers. Review of page 161
revealed staff should organize care delivery to ensure that it is coordinated with pain medication
administration and that minimal interruptions follow. Pain management included performing care after
administration of pain medication to minimize pain experienced and interruptions to comfort for the
individual. Review of page 163 revealed staff should use adequate pain control measures, including
additional dosing, prior to commencing wound care procedures as wound care procedures including wound
manipulation, wound cleansing, debridement, and dressing changes are painful.
