found at a stage four pressure ulcer. WP #108 revealed the wound was improving. Due to the horizontal
nature of the wound, WP #108 thought something fell behind the resident's back and, due to no feeling in
her back, the resident was unaware.
Interview on 10/25/23 at 3:28 P.M. with Resident #08 revealed nothing fell behind her back to cause the
wound. Resident #08 revealed the nursing assistants had told her for a few weeks the area was red.
Resident #08 revealed the nurses were also aware. Resident #08 thought the redness would just go away.
Resident #08 revealed the nurse explained she needed to see the wound physician and she was seen
about a week later.
Interview on 10/26/23 at 8:51 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the inflation was off on the
back cushion of the resident's wheelchair, the resident had the technician come out in July, and a new
cushion was ordered. The DON revealed the new cushion was delivered on 09/09/23, a week or two before
the resident got the area on her sacrum. The DON revealed she had no knowledge of this prior to
yesterday. The DON stated she let some of the air out of the resident's back cushion today. The DON
revealed she requested a visit by the service provider to check the amount of inflation and complete a
pressure test. The DON revealed the nursing assistants were responsible to report to nurse if there was an
observed skin condition.
Interview on 10/26/23 at 10:03 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #115 revealed she first
saw the area of the resident's back the first week in October. STNA #115 revealed she had a red circle by
the tailbone. STNA #115 revealed the resident reported the area had not started until she got her new
cushion for her chair. STNA #115 revealed not reporting the area as the resident told her everyone was
aware of the area on her back.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 10/26/23 at 11:26 A.M. with the DON confirmed Resident #08's stage four pressure ulcer
could potentially have been caused by the back cushion on the wheelchair, especially since the resident
had no pressure before the cushion was installed. The DON revealed when the pressure ulcer was first
investigated, she had no knowledge of the new cushion. The DON revealed she thought the pressure was
caused by the positioning of the back cushion, which could go up and down depending on the tightness of
the Velcro. The DON revealed she thought the Velcro was not attached correctly and the cushion moved up
and down and side to side until she looped the cushion over the headrest of the wheelchair. The DON
revealed she noticed the positioning of the cushion when the resident developed the pressure ulcer. The
DON confirmed there were no monitoring interventions in place for the cushion. The DON verified when the
redness to the resident's back was first noticed, there was no documentation the physician was notified.
The DON revealed the nurse called the physician the next morning and was told to continue the barrier
cream. The DON revealed the nurse should document characteristics of skin breakdown, if applicable, and
measure and describe wound, if applicable.
Interview on 11/01/23 at 7:45 A.M. with Resident #08 revealed the service provider for the wheelchair
cushion completed a pressure mapping test on 10/26/23 or 10/27/23 and there was only blue color,
indicating no pressure points. The provider thought the cushion was over inflated and took a fair bit of air
out in the lumbar (lower back) area.
Interview on 11/01/23 at 10:46 A.M. with the Administrator revealed the resident made her own
arrangements for the wheelchair cushion and staff would not necessarily need to inform management if a
wheelchair vendor was in the building. The Administrator verified there were no prescriber recommended
inflation level for the cushion as it was based on the resident's preference. Subsequent interview with the
Administrator verified there was no documented wound assessment for the resident prior to 10/11/23.
Interview on 11/01/23 at 4:29 P.M. with LPN #109 revealed she rounded with the wound physician on
09/20/23. LPN #109 revealed the resident's sacrum was irritated and red but there were no open areas.
LPN #109 revealed the physician told her to have the nurses continue the barrier cream.
Review of the manufacturer instructions for the custom back support supplement revealed a warning to
check inflation. Make sure there was at least one-half inch (1.5 cm) of air supporting the individual's bony
prominences. Follow the prescriber's recommended inflation levels.
Review of the policy, Skin Care Management Procedure, revised 12/09/22, revealed a stage four pressure
ulcer was full thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon,
ligament, cartilage, or bone in the ulcer. Slough and/or eschar may be visible on some parts of the wound
bed. Epibole (rolled edges), undermining and/or tunneling often occur. A medical device related pressure
ulcer/injury generally conforms to the pattern or shape of the device. The injury should be staged using the
staging system. Staff would monitor and remain alert to potential changes in the skin condition and should
evaluate and document identified changes. Documentation should include the date observed, location and
staging, size, drainage and amount, color, odor, pain, a description of the wound bed and type and
percentage of tissue present along with a description of the wound edges. The physician would be notified
of all skin areas of concern and consulted for treatment orders.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00147024.

intact cognition.
Review of a wound care note dated 09/27/23 revealed the resident had a diabetic wound to the left first toe.
The physician noted the wound was exacerbated due to infection. A subsequent x-ray on 09/27/23
suggested osteomyelitis. The physician recommended an Intravenous (IV) antibiotic ancef 500 milligrams
(mg) every eight hours for three days, then when the IV antibiotic was completed, start an oral antibiotic
ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for four weeks.
Review of physician orders dated 09/27/23 revealed the resident was ordered cefazolin sodium injection
solution reconstituted 500 mg; use 500 mg intravenously every eight hours for left toe infection for three
days.
Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 09/01/23 through 09/30/23 revealed the IV
antibiotic cefazolin was never administered.
Interview on 10/25/23 at 4:49 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed a service was called to insert a
PICC line to administer the antibiotic. The PICC line could not be inserted due to a contracture in the
resident's arm. The other arm had a fistula for dialysis. The DON revealed a recommendation was received
to call Interventional Radiology but could not be completed. The facility was going to have dialysis
administer the antibiotic but they would only be able to administer once a day. The DON revealed the IV
antibiotic was never administered. The DON revealed the physician was contacted and ordered the resident
