**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, staff interview, review of facility policy, and review of information from
the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUSP), the facility failed to ensure an advanced provider
was notified about an unstageable pressure ulcer. This affected one ( #71) of four residents reviewed for
pressure ulcers. The facility identified four residents with pressure ulcers. The facility census was 111.
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #71 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a reentry date of

Review of physician orders dated 02/04/19 revealed treatment orders were obtained for the head
laceration, right buttocks, right lateral lower leg and heel. No treatment order was obtained for the lower mid
back.
Review of wound care specialist assessment dated [DATE] revealed the diabetic ulcer to the right lateral
heel had improved, the pressure ulcer to the right buttocks was resolved with fragile scar tissue, and the
ulcer on the left stump remained resolved with fragile scar tissue. A arterial/venous ulcer remained on the
right calf. There was no evidence the area to Resident #71's lower mid back was assessed.
Observation and interview with Resident #71 on 02/04/19 at 4:17 P.M., revealed the resident kept
repositioning in his/herself in bed. Resident #71 reported severe back pain related to a wound. Observation
of the resident's back revealed an approximate two inch square dressing dated 02/04/19 to the resident's
lower middle back.
Review of Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for February revealed treatment to lower mid back was
not initiated until 02/06/19.
Observation on 02/06/19 at 7:35 A.M., of wound treatments to Resident #71 by Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN) #16 revealed an abrasion to the head, and vascular wounds to the right lower outer leg and right
lateral heel. Upon request by the surveyor, the resident's back was assessed which revealed an undated
four inch dressing in place to the lower middle back. Upon removal of the dressing, a small amount of tan
drainage was observed on the dressing and a dime sized open area with a wound bed covered in slough
was observed to the middle of the resident's back. LPN #16, whom completed wound treatments at the
facility, denied any knowledge of where the dressing came from. LPN #16 reported rounds were made with
the wound specialist on 02/04/19 at which time Resident #71 was assessed, however they didn't look at the
resident's back.
Observation on 02/06/19 at 10:14 A.M., of the assessment and treatment to the lower middle back of
Resident #71 by LPN #16 revealed a 0.9 cm by 0.9 cm by 0.1 cm unstageable pressure ulcer with 75 %
yellow slough. The wound was cleansed with normal saline and a foam border dressing was applied.
Interview on 02/06/19 at 1:46 P.M., with LPN #16 reported the nurse assessed Resident #71 upon
readmission to the facility on [DATE], following a hospitalization, and documented an open area to the
resident's back, applied a border foam dressing, however failed to notify the physician to obtain orders to
initiate a treatment.
Review of facility undated Pressure Ulcers policy, revealed all skin abnormalities would be assessed by
charge nurse and treatment would be put into place per standing orders if needed. Treatment would be
initiated, and notification was to be made to the responsible party and medical doctor. Wound Care
Treatments included for a potential pressure injury unstageable (depth unknown due to slough, eschar or
wound appeared as purple/maroon or blood filled blister on a bony prominence) if intact epithelial tissue
(skin) on bony prominence-skin prep or betadine twice daily and leave open to air. There were no standing
orders listed for a open potential pressure injury unstageable.
Review of information from NPUSP a pressure injury was localized damage to the skin and underlying soft
tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or other device. The injury could present as
intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful. The injury occurs a as result of intense and/or prolonged
pressure or pressure in combination with shear. An unstageable pressure injury

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident received
treatments as ordered for congestive heart failure (CHF). This affected one resident (#202) of three
reviewed for edema. The facility census was 111.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Medical record review revealed Resident #202 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including CHF, localized edema, altered mental status, high blood pressure, and adult failure to thrive.
Review of the 14 day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had intact
cognitive skills.
Review of Resident #202's physician order dated 01/18/19 revealed Torsemide, a diuretic medication, 60
milligrams (mg) daily by mouth for high blood pressure. On 01/23/19, Torsemide was increased to 100 mg
daily for CHF. On 01/25/19 daily weights were ordered and to administer Zaroxolyn, a diuretic medication, 5
mg every 24 hours as needed for weights above 230 pounds. Give Zaroxolyn 30 minutes after
administration of Torsemide.
Review of care plan initiated 02/01/19 revealed Resident #202 was on diuretic therapy related to bilateral
lower extremity edema secondary to CHF and high blood pressure. Interventions included administer
medication as ordered.
Review of Resident #202's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for January 2019 and February 2019
revealed weights were obtained daily 01/25/19 through 02/04/19 and were between 236 pounds and 240
pounds. Zaroxolyn was only documented as being administered once on 01/28/19 for a weight of 240
pounds. All other spaces for administration of Zaroxolyn on the MAR's were blank.
Observation on 02/04/19 at 2:31 P.M., revealed Resident #202 was in bed with compression wraps in place
to both lower legs. Edema was observed to both ankles and feet. Resident #202 was confused and unable
to answer simple questions. The family was present at the bedside and reported Resident #202 had
recently declined due to an acute illness.
Review of nursing progress note dated 02/05/19 at 11:45 P.M., revealed Resident #202 was transported to
the hospital per physician order for obstructive jaundice and admitted with diagnosis of CHF.
Interview on 02/07/19 at 7:54 A.M., with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #202 did not
receive Zaroxolyn as ordered for CHF when weights were in excess of 230 pounds. The DON revealed the
order had been entered into the electronic health record as, as needed, and therefore did not trigger the
need for administration when weights were beyond the ordered parameter.

completing the wound referral form for Resident #76 when he was made aware of the resident's heel pain
