F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **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 to cleanse an open area to the resident's tailbone/upper coccyx with soap and water, pat dry, and apply Silvadene cream (topical antimicrobial) followed by Calmoseptine (skin barrier) twice daily and as needed. Review of the August 2023 Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for Resident #08 dated 08/14/23, revealed the treatment to the open area on resident's tailbone/upper coccyx was signed off as being (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0686 administered. 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. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00145623.

F 0697 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 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366316 If continuation sheet Page 5 of 6 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 366316 B.

F 0697 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00143101.
