**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, hospital documentation review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure surgical wound and wound drainage care was provided as ordered by a physician following re-admission to the facility. This affected one (#52) of three residents reviewed for wounds. The facility census was 93.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of Resident #52's medical record identified admission to the facility occurred on 11/16/23 with medical diagnoses including bipolar disorder, urine retention, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and neoplasm of the genital organs. Further review of the medical record revealed Resident #52 required hospitalization from 04/29/24 through 05/07/24 for a scrotal abscess that required incision and drainage surgery. Review of Resident #52's hospital discharge documentation dated 05/07/24 revealed physician orders, under the section for drain and tube care, for the resident to have a nurse change the Kerlix dressing (antimicrobial rolled dressing) twice a day with wet to dry and maintain a Penrose drain (a soft, flexible rubber tube that drains fluid away from a wound) to allow for continued discharge. Review of Resident #52's re-admission nursing assessment dated [DATE] at 5:48 P.M., revealed, under the skin condition section, revealed instructions for staff to indicate all body marks such as old and recent scars (surgical or other). Further review of the assessment revealed no assessment or indication the resident had a scrotal surgical wound or Penrose drain. Observation of Resident #52 occurred on 05/09/24 at 10:14 A.M. with assistance from State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #200. Resident #52 was observed in bed at the time of the observation and Resident #52's scrotal area was observed with a Penrose drain in place with no covering or dressing noted to the site. Review of Resident #52's treatment administration record (TAR) for May 2024 and current physician orders dated 05/07/24 following hospital discharge revealed no evidence of any dressing changes to the Penrose drainage tube. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #400 on 05/09/24 at 10:32 A.M. stated she was told in report that morning Resident #52 had a sacral abscess and there was no mention of a drainage tube. LPN #400 confirmed there are no physician orders for a Penrose drain or dressing. LPN #400 also confirmed the Penrose drain was in the resident's scrotal area not sacral area.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, hospital documentation review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure resident re-admission and skin assessments were accurate. This affected one (#52) of three residents reviewed for wounds. The facility census was 93.

Further review of the assessment revealed no assessment or indication the resident had a scrotal surgical wound or Penrose drain, not documentation of a suprapubic catheter, or skin impairment to the left side of the neck. Review of a facility skin assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #52 identified the resident had no skin issues. Observation of Resident #52 occurred on 05/09/24 at 10:14 A.M. with assistance from State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #200. Resident #52 was observed in bed at the time of the observation and Resident #52's scrotal area was observed with a Penrose drain in place with no covering or dressing noted to the site. Resident #52 was also observed with a large dressing dated 05/04/24 covering the left side of his neck down to the shoulder and a dressing in place around a suprapubic catheter tubing with dried red drainage noted. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #400 on 05/09/24 at 10:32 A.M. confirmed the admission assessment dated [DATE] and the skin assessment dated [DATE] for Resident #52 both did not address the resident's surgical wound or Penrose drain, did not identify the resident's suprapubic catheter, and did not address the dressing over the left side of the resident's neck.
