F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 12:28 p.m., the Treatment Nurse said Resident #1 had a history of pressure injuries and shearings (a mechanical force occurring when skin remains stationary (due to friction) while underlying tissue and bone move in the opposite direction, causing blood vessel distortion, tissue damage, and deep pressure injuries) on her left and right buttock. She said the resident had not had any recent wounds until she left for the hospital on [DATE]. She said the nurses were responsible for weekly skin assessments. She said they also did routine skin sweeps. She said the last skin sweep was completed on 02/02/26 and was done with the wound care nurse practitioner. She said Resident #1 had no wounds at that time. She said the resident positions herself in the bed. She said she did observe Resident #1's wound right before she left for the hospital because she was helping the aide clean up the resident. She said the wound was very small. She said it was not even open at that time.During an interview on 02/28/26 at 12:43 p.m., the Administrator said there was a glitch in their electronic charting system and it was not triggering Braden Scale assessments or skin assessments on Resident #1 and that was why they had not been done. He said corporate staff were working to get the system fixed.During an interview on 02/28/26 at 1:37 p.m., the DON said they feel there was a glitch in the electronic charting system since they switched over to the current module and that was why they did not have current skin assessments or a current Braden Scale assessment on Resident #1 and a current Braden Scale assessment for Resident #2. She said she expected residents to have weekly skin assessments and quarterly Braden Scale assessments. She said residents that do not have weekly skin assessments could possibly cause a resident to have skin problems that have not been identified that could lead to pressure injuries or infection. She said Braden Scale assessments not being completed might lead to staff not identifying a risk for skin issues. She said if Braden Scale assessments were not completed, proper interventions might not be initiated and could lead to pressure injuries.During an interview on 02/28/26 at 1:51 p.m., the Administrator said Resident #1's wound was identified by nursing staff just prior to her being transferred to the hospital. He said he understood this was a reoccurring wound. He said they have wound prevention interventions in place for Resident #1. He said he expected skin assessments to be completed based on the generation of the skin schedule. He said if issues were found staff should put appropriate interventions in place. He said it was the same for the Braden Scale assessment. He said not having assessments could lead to skin breakdown. He said the Braden Scale assessment would tell if a resident was at risk or not. He said if a Braden Scall assessment was not completed, interventions might not be put in place to prevent skin breakdown.Record review of a Skin Assessment facility policy dated 04/24/25 indicated, .It is our policy to perform a full body skin assessment as part of our systematic approach to pressure injury prevention and management. This policy includes the following procedural guidelines in performing the full body skin assessment.A full body, or head to toe, skin assessment will be conducted by a licensed or registered nurse upon admission/re-admission and weekly thereafter.Record review of a Pressure Injury Prevention and Management facility policy dated 08/15/22 indicated, .This facility is committed to the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries and the promotion of healing of existing pressure injuries.Licensed nurses will conduct a pressure injury risk assessment, on all residents upon admission/re-admission, or whenever the resident's condition changes significantly.Licensed nurses will conduct a full body skin assessment on all residents upon admission/re-admission, weekly, and after any newly identified pressure injury.Interventions will be based on specific factors identified in the risk assessment, skin assessment, and any pressure injury assessment. 455684 Page 3 of 3
