noted. Sending out for possible AMS [altered mental status]. The form indicated Resident #1 had special
treatments and precautions of: contact infection control precautions for an infection of the buttocks. The
form indicated Resident #1 was on EBP (enhanced barrier precautions). The form indicated Resident #1
was receiving wound treatment with a current wound to the buttocks.
Record review of hospital Disclosure and Consent Medical Care and Surgical Procedure dated 8/4/2024 at
12:16 PM for wound debridement indicated Resident #1's condition was infected wound of the sacral area
measuring 3cm x 3.5cm x2cm that was classified as unstageable.
Record review of a picture taken at the hospital dated 7/25/2024 at 7:48 PM indicated Resident #1 had an
unstageable wound to the sacral area measuring 3cm x 3.5cm x 2cm.
Record review of the hospital paperwork dated 7/25/2024 indicated admitting diagnosess of metabolic
encephalopathy and pressure injury of sacral region, unstageable.
During a phone interview on 2/12/2025 at 12:25pm with Resident #1's RP (responsible party), she said
neither she nor her family members had been notified that Resident #1 had developed any kind of skin
problem. She said it was not until she got to the hospital emergency room that she was notified that
Resident #1 had an unstageable wound to her sacral (upper buttocks) area. She said when she saw the
area she took pictures and the wound was horrible. She said she made the decision in the hospital
emergency room that Resident #1 would not be returning to the facility due to the unstageable wound she
had received while at the facility.
During an interview on 2/12/2025 at 3:22 PM the ADON said she was not aware of Resident #1 had a
wound until the day on 7/22/2024 when LVN A was notified by CNA C. She said when she saw Resident
#1's bottom there was old scar tissue in the sacral area but what she treated was on the actual buttocks
area and that was red with spots of blood like a scrape. She said she never saw a wound on the sacrum.
She said it was possible that the necrotic tissue could have been mistaken for moisture associated skin
damage tissue. She said the treatment nurse was responsible for doing weekly skin assessments.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 10:30 AM the DON said she went and looked at Resident #1 buttocks
when a CNA asked her to look at the resident because she needed her to put a new dressing on the
resident. She said the wound was on the right buttock and seemed like someone had pulled her across the
bed and caused the top layer of skin to come off. She said she cleaned the wound and applied calcium
alginate to the wound. She said she did not remember anything being on Resident #1's left buttock. She
said she only remembered applying a dressing to one buttock on the right side. She said she did not
remember seeing anything to Resident #1's sacral area. She said Resident #1 had scarring due to old
pressure areas that had healed. The DON said she thought the area to the sacrum could have been missed
due to Resident #1's skin coloration. She said she had a conversation with one of Resident #1's family
member about the resident being in the bed by 5pm and the family member wanted her up all day and she
explained that it was not good for Resident #1. She said she never staged or classified Resident #1's
wound. She said she would have classified the wound as MASD (moisture associated skin damage). The
DON said a skin notification worksheet was not completed and did not know why. She said the treatment
nurse goes to the nurse's station and looked at the 24-hour report to check for any new skin issues every
day when she came to work. The DON said if a new skin area was identified and the treatment nurse was
not available, the residents charge nurse was to notify the MD and put a treatment in place, if the treatment
nurse was at the facility, then it was her responsibility. She said the nurse that initially identified a new
wound was supposed to do measurements, but it was not

done on Resident #1. She said once the treatment nurse assessed the wound then she was supposed to
measure the wound, then the resident should have been seen by the Wound Care Doctor weekly and the
Wound Care Doctor would then do the measurements weekly. The DON said she made rounds with the
Wound Care Doctor if the treatment nurse was not at the facility and if she was there then she looked at the
worst wounds. She said the Wound Care Doctor came every Wednesday to the facility. The DON said the
Wound Care Doctor never saw Resident #1 and did not know why.
Residents Affected - Few
During a phone interview on 2/13/2025 at 11:58 AM LVN A said the CNA C asked him to look at Resident
#1's buttocks. He said the wound he saw was in her gluteal fold, low sacral area to the right. He said when
he assessed the wound it was not bleeding and looked like moisture associated skin damage red area to
him. He said to best of his knowledge he did not see anything that he could remember in the sacral area.
He said he wiped and applied barrier cream to the area. He said he did not measure the wound. LVN A said
he thought he remembered notifying the family member that night but did not know who it was. He said he
notified the wound care nurse to look at it by putting a paper note in her box for the next day for her to
address.
During a telephone interview on 2/13/2025 at 12:34 PM CNA C said she had been a CNA for 24 years and
had taken care of a lot of residents with wounds. She said she remembered reporting an open wound on
the top of Resident #1's sacrum and reported it to LVN A. CNA C said on the next day when she came back
to work, she did not see a dressing on Resident #1's wound. She said she took a picture of Resident #1's
wound and took her phone to the nurse's station and showed it to LVN A and told him it was bad. CNA C
said the wound on Resident #1 was on the upper middle crease of the residents' buttocks and it was a bad
bed sore that was open with dead tissue. She said she never reported the wound to anyone else other than
LVN A.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 1:19 PM CNA E said she worked with Resident #1 prior to her
discharging from the facility but was not working the day Resident #1 left the facility. She said Resident #1
had a place on her buttocks that looked like carpet burn like a little scrape on it. She said they were putting
barrier cream on it. CNA E said she saw a pink area on her buttocks but never saw an area on her sacrum.
During an interview on 2/13/2025 at 1:40 PM CNA F said when Resident #1 discharged from the facility
she had a skin tear on her bottom. She said the wound on Resident #1's bottom looked like a burn with pus
and redness. She said she had reported it to the Treatment Nurse and the Treatment Nurse was treating the
wound. CNA F said it looked like the picture of the residents wound that was showed to the CNA. Said she
always reports any skin issues to the nurse or treatment nurse.
During a telephone interview on 2/13/2025 at 4:30 PM the Wound Care Doctor said she had never seen
Resident #1.
During an interview on 2/19/2025 at 9:30 AM MDS LVN said there was a morning clinical meeting every
morning and the staff nurses report to the administrative nurses on any resident issues. She said she
remembered LVN A said in the morning clinical meeting that he had assessed Resident #1 and she did not
have any open areas. The MDS LVN said she was never notified Resident #1 had a skin issue. She said
she remembered the BOM said in the morning meeting 7/26/2024 that Resident #1's family member had
called said Resident #1 would not be returning to the facility due to her having an unknown wound that she
had gotten while at the facility.

for the nurse to measure, stage, notify the physician, responsible party and dietician. She said the nurse
should also make sure treatment orders were in place. Said most of the nurses have gone through the
wound care training course. She said LVN's cannot stage or classify a wound so either she or the Wound
Care Doctor would stage it or classify the wound by the next day. She said she was not sure how the wound
on Resident #1 got missed, she said all she saw was Resident #1's right buttock and did not see the
unstageable wound. She said Resident #1's family called the BOM and said they were not bringing
Resident #1 back due to the wound that she had received while at the facility. The DON said there was no
notification to Resident #1's Responsible Party because they were not aware that Resident #1 had a
wound. She said her expectation was if there was an order for a treatment, she expected it to be done and
that nurses are responsible for total patient care.
During an interview on 2/19/2025 at 2:02 PM the Administrator said skin assessments should be completed
on admission/readmission and weekly. He said his expectation was for the nurses to identify and treat
wounds per the physicians' orders and plan of care.
Record review of Licensed Nurse Proficiency Audit dated 11/09/2024 indicated LVN A had shown
satisfactory performance with dressing changes.
Record review of the facilities policy Pressure Injury: Prevention, Assessment and Treatment revised on
8/12/2016 indicated: 3. Upon assessment and identification of a pressure sore the staff nurse will notify the
treatment nurse/designee. The treatment nurse/designee will: 1. Notify the physician of pressure sore and
obtain and follow any orders as directed by the physician. 2. Notify family and dietary department.
Document notification . 6. Nursing Action/Rationale: 1. Prevention: The nurse can assist in the prevention of
pressure injuries by performing the following nursing interventions: Note: Add any interventions to care plan
. 3. Keep bed clean, dry and free of wrinkles. 4. Encourage physical activity that stimulates circulation such
as active and passive range of motion exercises. 5. Maintain body alignment with support for body parts;
pillows, cradles, pads, heel/elbow protectors, and mattresses can be used to help relieve pressure . 9.
Assess for early signs of skin breakdown and report any abnormal findings. Early signs of pressure sores
include redness, tenderness and swelling of the skin. Notify Treatment Nurse/designee of any potential
problems by completing Skin Concern Notification Worksheet. 10. Treatment Nurse/designee or Director of
Nursing will assess site and evaluate for appropriate stage as listed in this procedure. Notify physician;
obtain an order and monitor site daily. Sign off on treatment sheet any treatment completed (i.e., Stage I
through Stage IV). 11. Director of Nursing or designee to inservice nurses and CNAs on above prevention .
Unstageable Pressure Injury: Obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss. Full-thickness skin and tissue
loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by
slough or eschar. If slough or eschar is removed, a Stage 3 or Stage 4 pressure injury will be revealed.
Stable eschar (i.e., dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) on an ischemic limb or the heel(s)
should not be removed. 7. Nursing Care Plan. 1. Identify the problem of pressure injuries on the Nursing
Care Plan. 2. Under Nursing Intervention, list physician ordered treatments. 3. Staffing definitions recognize
the following limitations: .When necrosis is present accurate staging of the pressure injury is not possible
until the necrosis has sloughed or the wound has been debrided . Assessment of the pressure injury should
also include the site, size, and W x Lx D, of the injury. Surrounding tissue, color, exudate, wound edges,
sinus tracts, odor, tunneling and undermining should also be documented at least weekly and upon decline.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 2/18/2025 at 3:49 PM due to the above failures. The facility
Administrator was notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template on 2/18/2025 at 3:49 PM.

During a phone interview on [DATE] at 11:58 AM LVN A said he had been passing pills and was tired and
frustrated that day, so he decided to lighten his load by destroying the expired residents' medications. He
said he wasted the medication in the 100-hall guest room bathroom. LVN A said he poured the medications
in a cup and then flushed them in the toilet. LVN A said he had been a nurse for 29 years and knew he was
supposed to give the medication to the DON and the Pharmacist was supposed to destroy them. He said in
hindsight he knew it was not his best idea. Said he was suspended and terminated. He said he had worked
for the facility on and off for 11-12 years and had never destroyed medications before. He said the facility
had in the past educated him on the proper way to destroy medications.
During an interview on [DATE] at 1:23 PM the DON said on Tuesday [DATE], she went to get the expired
residents narcotics out the medication cart. She said LVN H told her they were not on the cart and LVN A
had said he gave them to the DON to destroy. She said she did not remember LVN A giving her the
medications but went and checked her locked medication cabinets for medications in case she had
forgotten but did not find the medications. She said she called LVN A he told her that he had destroyed the
medications by flushing them down the toilet in the family room bathroom because he needed space on the
cart. The DON said LVN A told her he had the count sheets in his personal bag and needed to find
someone to sign with him that he had destroyed the medications. She said she told LVN A he was not
going to find anyone to sign with him if they had not witnessed the destruction. She said LVN A did return
the count sheets to the facility. She said LVN A told her he just was not thinking straight. The DON said she
called and reported the incident to the Administrator immediately and LVN A was suspended and ultimately
terminated. She said her expectation was for the nurses to turn in medications to her to be destroyed with
the pharmacy consultant.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:02 PM the Administrator said his expectation was for nurses to turn in all
discontinued narcotic medications to the DON for destruction with the pharmacy consultant.
During an interview on [DATE] at 2:02 PM the Administrator said when he spoke with LVN A he asked him
to take a drug test. He said when the results of the drug test where positive LVN A told him he had
prescriptions for the positives on the drug test. He said he asked LVN A to provide the prescriptions to the
facility, but LVN A never provided any prescriptions. He said LVN A was suspended and ultimately
terminated. The Administrator said the expectation for drug destruction would be for the nurses to hand
over discontinued narcotics to the DON. He said the DON and the pharmacy consultant should reconcile
the drugs and then destroy them according to facility policy.
Record review of a urine drug screen dated [DATE] for LVN A indicated positive for cocaine, opiates,
codeine, and hydrocodone.
