Findings include: Review of Resident 72's clinical progress notes dated July 27, 2024, at approximately 5:45 a.m. revealed Resident 72 suffered a fall out of bed and was found laying on the floor on resident's right side.

Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Clinical record review revealed a quarterly assessment MDS (a minimum data set, which was part of the U.S. federally mandated process for clinical assessment of all residents in Medicare or Medicaid-certified nursing homes) dated January 1, 2025, that indicated Resident 51 obtained a stage 2 pressure ulcer (a shallow, open sore or an intact or ruptured blister, with a red or pink wound bed caused by prolonged exposure to pressure) while residing in the facility.

Review of Resident 51's clinical records revealed wound care notes dated February 25, 2025, documenting the resident had a skin tear on inner thigh with treatment changed to skin prep. Further review of Resident 51's clinical records revealed wound care notes dated March 4, 2025, documenting the resident had a skin tear on inner thigh that was improving. Review of Resident 51's clinical records revealed that the resident did not have orders for treatment of a stage 2 pressure ulcer. Review of Resident 51's clinical records revealed a care plan last revised on November 15, 2024, documenting the resident is at risk for skin injury related to immobility, paraplegia (paralysis to lower half of body), a history of stage 4 wounds, and a history of tendon release surgery (procedure used to treat muscular skeleton conditions).

Interview with Register Nurse Employee E4 on March 6, 2025, at 11:58 AM revealed the resident did not have a stage 2 pressure ulcer at the time of the MDS assessment and the resident only had a skin tear. Interview with the MDS Coordinator, Employee E5 on March 6, 2025, at 2:05 p.m., confirmed a data entry error was made on Resident 51's MDS and the resident did not have a facility acquired pressure ulcer at the time of its completion on January 1, 2025. 28 Pa Code 211.12 (d)(1) Nursing services
