Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of the Pennsylvania Professional Nursing Practice Act, facility policy and procedure,
clinical records review, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure that staff met the
professional standards upon identifying a skin impairment for one of three residents reviewed (Resident
39).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The Professional Code, Title 49, Professional and Vocational Standards (Pennsylvania Professional
Nursing Practice Act), Chapter 21.145(a) states that the Licensed Nurse is prepared to function as a
member of the health-care team by exercising sound nursing judgment based on preparation, knowledge,
and experience in nursing competency. The nurse participates in the planning, implementing, and
evaluating nursing care, using focused assessment in settings where nursing takes place.
A review of the facility's policy titled Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown-Clinical Protocol, undated, revealed
that the nursing staff would assess and document an individual's significant risk factors for developing
pressure sores. In addition, the nurse shall describe and document/report the following: a full assessment
of the pressure sore, including location, stage, length, width, and depths, and the presence of exudates or
necrotic (dead) tissue.
A review of Resident 39's care plan developed on November 22, 2022, revealed the following interventions:
Inspect feet daily for open areas, sores, pressure areas, blisters, edema, or redness; and check the body
for breaks in the skin and treat promptly as ordered by the physician.
A review of the nursing progress notes dated March 11, 2025, at 12:11 p.m., revealed that nursing was
notified by the wound team that a new unstageable wound was observed on the resident's left heel
measuring 2.0 x 2.6 x 0.1 cm. The same note revealed that there was a dressing applied to the wound
which was not dated or initialed.
A review of the facility's investigation titled New Pressure Injury, dated March 11, 2025, at 11:37 a.m.,
revealed that during wound rounds, an unstageable wound measuring 2.0 x 2.6 x 0.1 cm was found on the
resident's left heel. Staff statement of licensed Employee E3, dated March 11, 2025, revealed the following
statements I was notified by the wound team that resident has an unstageable wound on [his/her] left heel. I
was also informed that [he/she] has a dressing on, but it wasn't dated so we have no idea how long it had
been on for.
An interview with licensed nurse Employee E4 was conducted on April 18, 2025, at 8:44 a.m. Employee E4
reported that all treatment medications, dressing, and supplies are all kept in the treatment cart or
medication room which is always locked with access only to the nurses.

An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted on April 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. The DON
reported that a bordered dressing (An absorptive wound dressing) was observed during wound rounds on
the resident's left heel on March 11, 2025. An unstageable left heel ulcer was discovered upon removing
the bordered dressing to the left heel. The DON reported that the facility investigation was not able to
identify the person responsible for applying the wound dressing to the resident's left heel, however, the
DON confirmed that the dressing placed on the resident's heel is kept on the treatment cart and medication
with access only to the nurses.
The above was discussed with the DON on April 18, 2025, at 11:20 a.m. The DON confirmed that upon
identifying the skin impairment on Resident 39's already compromised left leg, the person/staff that applied
the bordered dressing should have instead assessed, notified the physician, and provided appropriate
monitoring and treatment to the resident's left heel.

measured 2.0 x 2.6 x 0.1 cm (centimeter) with 80% slough (non-viable yellow, tan, gray, green, or brown
tissue; usually moist, can be soft, stringy, and mucinous in texture. Slough may be adherent to the base of
the wound or present in clumps throughout the wound bed). Further review of the same note revealed that
a surgical debridement (medical procedure where dead or infected tissue is removed from a wound using
surgical instruments) with an indication for removal of necrotic (dead cells in the body tissue) tissue was
done on March 11, 2025. A new wound treatment of Santyl (topical medication used for removing damaged
or burned skin to allow for wound healing and growth of healthy skin) daily was ordered.
Interview with licensed nurse Employee E4 was conducted on April 18, 2025, at 8:44 a.m. Employee E4
revealed all treatment medications, dressing, and supplies are located in the treatment cart or medication
room which is locked with access only to the nurses.
Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted on April 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. The DON
indicated a bordered dressing (absorptive wound dressing) was observed during wound rounds on the
resident's left heel on March 11, 2025. An unstageable left heel ulcer was discovered upon removing the
bordered dressing to the left heel. The Director of Nursing reported, the facility investigation was not able to
identify the person responsible for applying the wound dressing to the resident's left heel, however, the
Director of Nursing revealed the type of bandage placed on Resident 39's heel is kept on the treatment cart
and it must have been a nurse who applied it to Resident 39's wound as nurses are the only ones with
access to the cart.
The above information was discussed with the Director of Nursing on April 18, 2025, at 11:20 a.m. The
DON acknowledged Resident 39's left foot was already compromised because of his/her medical diagnosis
and right leg amputation. The DON confirmed that upon identifying skin impairment to the left heel, the
wound should have been timely assessed, appropriately treated, and monitored.
The facility failed to ensure Resident 39's skin impairment was properly assessed, appropriately treated,
and monitored resulting in the harm of an advanced unstageable pressure ulcer to the left heel and
undergoing a surgical procedure of wound debridement which could result in unnecessary pain.
