Based on review of facility policy, review of facility documentation, review of clinical records, and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to timely notify the physician of a new skin impairment for one of three residents reviewed (Resident R1).Findings Include:Review of facility policy Notification of Change in Resident Status/Condition revised October 15, 2016, revealed the nurse will contact the physician to report nursing assessment/observations involving incidents, accidents, and significant changes in physical status. The nurse will obtain new orders as warranted from the physician, and these orders will be documented in the electronic medical record.Review of Resident R1's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated resident assessment and care screening) dated June 27, 2025, revealed the resident was cognitively intact and had a diagnosis of paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body).Continued review of Resident R1's MDS revealed the resident was at risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries (localized damage to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure, shear, or friction) and was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for putting on/taking off footwear.Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed a physician order dated July 6, 2024, and July 10, 2024, for skin prep to right medial ankle and right heel every day. Instructions specified to cleanse with normal saline solution, apply skin prep, and leave open to air.Review of Resident R1's wound evaluation dated June 24, 2025, revealed the resident had a Stage 3 (full thickness tissue loss in which the skin injury has gone through the skin into the fat tissue) Pressure Ulcer to the mid back inferior and Stage 4 (the most severe stage of a pressure sore, with damage to all layers of the skin, exposing muscle, tendon and bone and has a high risk of infection) Pressure Ulcer to the left ischium.Review of Resident R1's clinical record revealed a nursing note dated June 29, 2025, by Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, that indicated while this nurse was providing wound care for Resident R1's previously documented wounds (mid back and left ischium) Resident R1 made the Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, aware of a new wound on his/her right ankle. Continued review of the nursing note dated June 29, 2025, revealed Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, subsequently removed Resident R1's heel boots (specialized footwear designed to prevent pressure ulcers on the heels of patients confined to bed or chairs for extended periods) to assess the area and observed a foam dressing applied to the right heel. Resident R1 reported to the Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, that he/she noticed the heel bleeding a lot during his/her shower and that his/her shoes were difficult to put on. Review of facility incident/accident investigation summary dated June 29, 2025, written up by Registered Nurse, Employee E6, revealed on June 29, 2025, while Licensed Nurse, Employee E3, was providing wound care for Resident R1, the resident stated he/she had a new wound to the right heel/ankle area. Licensed nurse, Employee E3, subsequently notified the unit manager who further assessed the new skin impairment as a stage 3 pressure wound measuring 3.5 centimeters (cm) (length) by 4.0 cm (width) by 0.3 cm (depth). Continued review of facility investigation revealed an employee statement by nurse aide, Employee E4, dated July (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.
