Review of the Weekly Skin Observation Tool assessment dated [DATE] at 5:44 A.M. revealed Resident
#159 had a Stage III pressure wound to her sacrum. The area measured 3.5 cm long by 3.0 cm wide.
Adipose (body fat) tissue was visible surrounded by non-blanchable (discoloration of skin that does not turn
white when pressed) redness. Resident #159 was observed to experience pain when the area was
touched.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the plan of care for Resident #159 revealed Resident #159 had actual or potential for skin
breakdown. Interventions included administer treatment as ordered, apply moisture barrier to perineal area
and buttocks after incontinence episodes, float heels while in bed or recliner, low air mattress for my bed
(initiated 05/02/23), monitor effectiveness of treatment, notify the physician as needed if area worsens or
does not respond, weekly skin screening, and turn and reposition frequently and as needed (initiated
05/02/23).
On 05/16/23 at 2:32 P.M. Resident #159 was observed in her room with her son at the bedside. Interview
with the resident at the time of the observation revealed she denied pain. The resident's son confirmed
Resident #159's sacral wound was assessed by a wound specialist and treatment was changed. Resident
#159's son stated the wound was present during her hospitalization but it was not an open area.
Interview on 05/23/23 at 12:33 P.M. with Assistant [NAME] President Clinical (AVPC) #273 revealed the
nurse who completed the initial admission Screen assessment on 05/02/23 did not stage the area correctly.
AVPC #273 stated the area should have been noted as a DTI, not an unstageable pressure area because it
was not an open area at that time.
Interview on 05/23/23 at 12:41 P.M. with AVPC #273 confirmed there was not a comprehensive assessment
including measurements and a full description of the wound completed from 05/02/23 until 05/16/23 (14
days). AVCP #273 confirmed there was no documentation WP #401 had been notified of the sacral wound
area until 05/09/23 (eight days following admission), even though an area was noted on the admission
Screen assessment. AVPC #273 confirmed Resident #159's sacral wound was not assessed by a wound
specialist until 05/16/23 (15 days following admission). AVPC #273 stated Resident #159 was discharged
from the hospital without an ordered treatment for the sacral wound area so the nurse ordered a zinc
barrier cream and that was the treatment until 05/09/23 when the treatment was changed. AVPC #273
confirmed the low air mattress was not ordered or delivered until 05/12/23. AVPC #273 confirmed an order
to turn and reposition Resident #159 every two hours and as needed was not written until 05/09/23 (eight
days following admission).
Interview on 05/25/23 at 12:56 P.M. with WP #401 revealed for most wounds that were not displaying signs
of infection, standard wound prevention interventions would be acceptable to include a dry dressing, skin
prep, and frequent turning and repositioning, until the resident was able to be assessed by a wound
specialist. WP #401 confirmed he was first contacted via text message from the Director of Nursing (DON)
regarding Resident #159 on 05/09/23. WP #401 stated the picture of Resident #159's sacral wound area on
05/09/23 showed a large DTI area and a little open area. WP #401 stated it was standard for a resident who
required extensive assistance from two staff, was incontinent, and had an impaired skin area to be turned
and repositioned every two hours and placed on an air mattress as prevention interventions and would
have recommended those be put into place upon admission had he been notified of Resident #159's skin
area. WP #401 confirmed it was standard to measure wounds weekly.

lunchmeat on it. Surveyor intervened to notify staff of Resident #3's order for a pureed diet due to safety
concerns as the resident was not being supervised during the meal either.
Observation on 05/17/23 at 12:21 P.M. of the lunch meal revealed Resident #3 was in her room eating.
Resident #3 had been served a regular diet and not a pureed diet as ordered. Resident #3 took a couple of
bites of a regular lunchmeat sandwich. No staff were present to supervise the resident while eating.
Surveyor intervened to notify staff due to safety concerns.
Interview and observation on 05/17/23 at 12:24 P.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #269 confirmed
Resident #3 was served a regular diet and had an order for a pureed diet. RD #269 removed the plate of
food from Resident #3 and agreed to provide a pureed diet to the resident instead as ordered.
Observation on 05/22/23 at 12:34 P.M. of the lunch meal revealed Resident #3 was served a regular diet
again. Resident #3 was observed eating curly fries. There was not any staff supervising the resident while
eating either. Again, this surveyor intervened to notify the staff due to safety concerns.
Interview on 05/22/23 at 12:34 P.M. with Household Aide (HA) #248 confirmed Resident #3 was served a
regular diet and was unsupervised while eating in her room. HA #248 stated Resident #3 was not served a
pureed diet last Friday either. HA #248 confirmed Resident #3 had an order for a pureed diet when this
surveyor showed the aide the resident's physician orders.

a pureed diet. HA #248 stated Resident #3 was on a pureed diet but had been told by the speech therapist
that the resident no longer required a pureed diet anymore approximately one month ago.
Interview on 05/23/23 at 9:18 A.M. with Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) #425 confirmed Resident #3
should be supervised for all meals by staff due to the resident's history of choking on food, impaired
cognition at times, and history of pocketing foods. SLP #425 stated Resident #3 had difficulty with putting
too much food in her mouth at one time and adequately chewing it up before swallowing. SLP #425 stated
she had upgraded Resident #3's diet from pureed in April 2023 but Diet Technician #440 downgraded
Resident #3's diet back to pureed for unknown reasons. Resident #3 had received new dentures which
affected her ability to chew safely until she adjusted to the new dentures so that may have been the reason
for the downgrade. SLP #425 stated she would agree to upgrade Resident #3's diet to a minced, moist diet
at this time but confirmed according to the orders, Resident #3 should have been receiving a pureed diet
and should continue to be supervised by staff for all meals for safety.
2. Review of the medical record revealed Resident #25 admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
dementia, major depressive disorder, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cognitive communication
deficit, bell's palsy, and anxiety disorder.
