Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, facility provided documentation, and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to timely consult with the physician about the potential need to alter treatment in response to a
change in condition of a resident's wound and failed to notify the resident and the resident's interested
representative of the signs of declining condition of the resident's wound for one resident out nine sampled
(Resident CR1).
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident CR1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses to include diabetes, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fracture of left
pubis, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD - a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce
blood flow to the arms or legs).
An admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-standardized assessment completed at specific
intervals to identify specific resident care needs) dated February 10, 2023, revealed the Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS section of the MDS which assesses cognition, a tool to assess the resident's
attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall new information, a score of 13-15 equates to being
Cognitively Intact) revealed that the resident scored a 13, which indicated that he was cognitively intact.
Resident CR1's clinical record indicated the resident was his own responsible party but had an interested
family member, as an emergency contact.
The resident's February 2023 Treatment Administration Record (TAR indicated that on February 22, 2023,
a new treatment was ordered to cleanse bilateral shins with normal saline solution, apply A+D Ointment,
and cover with Comfort foam border gauze, every day shift for Protection/Prevention.
A review the interdisciplinary and nursing progress notes in the resident's clinical record dated from
February 21, 22, 23, and 24, 2023, revealed no reference to skin concerns on both the resident's shins
which prompted the new physician order for treatment.
A nursing note dated February 25, 2023, at 2:45 PM, revealed that while completing resident's treatment to
his bilateral lower extremities, staff observed green drainage from wounds and reddened skin around the
wound that appeared macerated. Nursing applied the ointment as ordered, and also skin prep area around
and wrapped the resident's lower extremities with kerlix.

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 a
review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain clinical
records in accordance with professional standards and practices as evidenced by licensed and professional
nursing staff failing to document accurately document a resident's condition and medical findings reflective
of a change in condition for one resident out of 9 sampled resident (Resident CR 1).
Findings:
According to the American Nurses Association Principles for Nursing Documentation, nurses document
their work and outcomes and provide an integrated, real-time method of informing the health care team
about the patient status. Timely documentation of the following types of information should be made and
maintained in a patient's EHR (electronic health record) to support the ability of the health care team to
ensure informed decisions and high-quality care in the continuity of patient care:
· Assessments
· Clinical problems
· Communications with other health care professionals regarding the patient
· Communication with and education of the patient, family, and the patient ' s designated support
person and other third parties.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident CR1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses to have include diabetes, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fracture of
left pubis, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD - a common condition in which narrowed arteries reduce
blood flow to the arms or legs).
A daily skilled nursing note dated January 19, 2023, at 6:39 PM, indicated that Resident CR1 was receiving
skilled services and that the areas impacting skilled services included diabetes and a Musculoskeletal
Condition.
A nursing note dated January 20, 2023, 2:02 PM, indicated that the resident's stool was negative for
c-difficile (Infection of the large intestine (colon) caused by the bacteria Clostridium difficile causing
diarrhea and colitis
An admission/re-admission evaluation note dated February 4, 2023, at 1:57 PM, indicated that Resident
CR1 was readmitted to the facility from home and was ambulatory upon arrival. Primary reason for
admission: weakness, elevated blood sugars.
There was no nursing documentation in the resident's clinical record from January 20, 2023, until

discharging home, on January 25, 2023, at 11:00 AM.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview with the DON on June 13, 2023, at approximately 1:20 PM, confirmed there was no documented
evidence in the resident's clinical record that the resident had been discharged home on January 25, 2023.
Residents Affected - Few
According to the resident's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated February 2023, a new treatment
was ordered on February 22, 2023, to cleanse bilateral shins with normal saline solution, apply A+D
Ointment, and cover with Comfort foam border gauze, every day shift for Protection/Prevention.
A review of nursing progress notes dated from February 21, 22, 23, and 24, 2023, revealed no documented
evidence of any skin concerns with the resident's bilateral shins which necessitated the new treatment
order.
A nursing note, dated February 25, 2023, at 2:45 PM, revealed that while staff were providing the resident's
treatment to his bilateral lower extremities, green drainage was observed from wounds and reddened skin
around the wound appeared macerated. Nursing applied ointment as ordered, along with skin prep area
around, and wrapped the resident's lower legs with kerlix.
Nursing did not document any further assessment of the characteristics and appearance of the resident's
wounds including the assessment of size
In response to surveyor inquiry during the survey ending June 13, 2023, the facility provided a outside
wound consult, dated February 23, 2023, but it did not reference the resident's left or right shin. A
subsequent outside wound consult, dated March 2, 2023, indicated that the resident had scattered partial thickness ulcerations of the right and left shin, further describing its size, shape, color, drainage, odor etc.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on June 13, 2023, at approximately 11:35 AM, confirmed that
there was no documented evidence that facility nursing staff had fully assessed and documented the
condition of the resident's bilateral shin wounds prior to the wound consult on March 2, 2023. The
assessment and documentation of the appearance of the condition of the resident's shins were recorded by
the outside wound consult dated March 2, 2023.
There was no documented evidence in the nursing progress notes of the resident's discharge home and
licensed and professional nursing assessment of the condition and progression of the resident's bilateral
shin abrasions/wounds from February 22, 2023, till March 2, 2023, which was confirmed during interview
with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on June 13, 2023, at approximately 3:55 PM.
