Area has 20% slough (dead tissue within a wound, often appearing as a yellow, tan, or white fibrous material). Further review of the same wound consultation revealed Sacral wound is a Stage 3 pressure ulcer and has received a status of not healed. Initial wound encounter measurements are 3.5 cm length x 8 cm width x 0.1 cm depth with an area of 28 square centimeters. Assessment of exposed structures limited to the breakdown of skin. No tunneling (type of wound that extends deeper into the tissue than its surface, creating a narrow channel or tunnel-like passageway) has been noted. No sinus tract (type of wound characterized by a narrow channel or passageway that extends from the surface of the skin into deeper tissues) has been noted. No undermining (wound where the edges are not attached to the underlying tissue, creating a pocket or shelf beneath the skin at the wound's edge) has been noted. There is a light amount of sero-sanguineous drainage noted which has no odor. Wound bed has 80% granulation, 20% slough; no eschar (dead tissue) and no epithelialization (process of the epidermis regenerating over a wound surface, essentially covering the wound with new skin tissue) present. Interview with Director of Nursing on May 30, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. confirmed no clinical documentation was available to support that Resident 2 had a blister on the sacrum prior to the discovery of the Stage III pressure ulcer and that no treatments were in place to treat a blister.

Residents Affected - Some
Findings include: A review of the facility's policy titled Weight Assessment and Intervention, revised February 15, 2022, revealed Any weight change of greater than or less than 5 pounds within 30 days will be retaken for confirmation. The dietician will also review monthly weights by the 10th of the month to follow individual weight trends. Negative trends will be assessed and addressed by Dietician whether or not the definition of Significant Weight change is met. If the weight loss meets the definition of Significant, the Dietician should discuss with the Interdisciplinary Team and make recommendations. Review of Resident 36's clinical record revealed diagnoses including depression and unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition (critical condition resulting from adequate intake of protein and calories). Review of Resident 36's clinical record revealed weights were obtained as follows: April 2, 2025 - 102.7 pounds, May 3, 2025- 94.4 and May 4, 2025 - 95.2 pounds, indicating a 7.30% weight loss.

Interview with Licensed Employee E6 on May 30, 2025, at 9:27 a.m. revealed that a reweight should have been obtained prior to the April 10, 2025, re-weight to obtain an accurate weight and complete an accurate MDS assessment. Review of Resident 274's clinical record revealed diagnoses' including epilepsy (brain condition that causes recurring seizure), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung and airway disease that restricts your breathing) and unspecified severe protein-calorie malnutrition (critical condition resulting from adequate intake of protein and calories).
