Residents Affected - Some
In an interview and observation with Resident #43 on 10/29/24 at 11:15am, the resident was observed laying on his back receiving wound care by the floor nurse, directed by the ADON. The resident said the facility no longer had a Wound Care Nurse, so the floor nurses had to perform wound care and they did not come every day. He said they were only doing it because State was there and the last time he had received wound care was on 10/27/24. In an interview with Resident #43 on 10/30/24 at 12:15pm, he said the Wound Care MD would not see him because the facility did not have a Wound Care Nurse to help him. He said the Wound Care MD wanted someone to help him position and take orders and the floor nurses were too busy to come help, so the doctor did not have time to wait around and would not see him. The resident also said the staff would get him into his chair and then want him to get back to bed for wound care and then get back into his chair and that was too much work, so a couple times he refused. He said he felt like they would wait for him to get in his chair on purpose so they could offer it then and they know he would refuse. Resident #43 stated he felt like his pressure ulcers had worsened since the Wound Care MD had not seen him since 10/7/24. In an interview with a family member of Resident #43 on 10/30/24 at 1:45pm, who said the facility had a big problem with performing wound care daily since they did not have a wound care nurse. She said Resident #43 may have refused a few times, but he did not refuse often because he has become septic in the past and knew how important wound care was. She said the problem was staff would get him into his chair and then wanted him to get back into bed for wound care, and then get back into his chair. She said that was a lot of work for him and he would not want to do it. She said she did not understand why they would not do his wound care first and then put him in his chair. In an interview with the Wound Care MD on 10/30/24 at 1:48pm, he said he came every Monday to see residents. He said Resident #43 was complex, had a lot of wounds, and needed help getting ready before he arrived. He said he would call the facility and give them an hour notice before he arrived, but the resident still would not be ready when he arrived, and he would not have time to sit around and wait when he had other residents to get to. He said it was hard for nursing staff to keep up with wound care when there was not a dedicated wound care nurse, so it frequently did not get done or fell through the cracks. He said they had not had a wound care nurse in about a month. The Wound Care MD said he received the labs, he thought on 10/24/24 but was not sure when, and the resident had osteomyelitis before. He said he talked to NP B on Monday (10/28/24) and told her to order the antibiotics for the resident. He said he wanted to make sure she ordered the antibiotics, and they did not get missed. In an interview with NP B on 10/30/24 at 2:40pm, she said the Wound Care MD called her to inform her Resident #43 would be on Cipro/Vancomycin (antibiotics for wound infection) but did not tell her to order them. She said the Wound Care MD would inform the nurse at the facility and they would enter the orders. She said she did not enter orders for the Wound Care MD. She said she saw labs come in for the resident but if the Wound Care MD ordered them, he would be responsible for following up on them. In an interview with the DON on 10/30/24 at 3:05pm, she said she was kind of familiar with Resident #43's wounds. She was not sure if the wounds were getting better or worse. She said the floor nurse was the one responsible for measuring the wounds. She said [username] was her and that was who logged all the measurements of Resident #43's wounds for October 2024, so she must have performed the measurements. She said she thought the wounds had not changed. She did not know if the resident had had any labs/biopsies (tissue removal and sent to lab) on any of his wounds. The DON said the Wound

Care MD did not give any orders to NP B because she did not work for him. She said the Wound Care MD would tell a nurse at the facility and they would enter the orders, or he would slide the orders under her door, and she would enter them. She said she did not know anything about the antibiotic orders for Resident #43 and she was going to go call the Wound Care MD. In an interview and observation of Resident #43 on 10/30/24 at 4:00pm, he said the DON never measured his wounds and that he had never even seen her face before. Measurements were performed with the DON and the Clinical Resource Nurse and were as follows: L Heel: 3.5 x 2.5 = 8.89cm x 6.35cm R Heel: 6.5 x 5 = 16.51cm x 12.7cm R Distal Leg: 2.5 x 1 = 6.35cm x 2.54 R Proximal Leg: 6 x 1 = 15.24cm x 2.54cm In an observation of Resident #43 on 10/31/24 at 10:00am with the ADON, DON, and the Clinical Resource Nurse the resident's L Ischium (L buttock) and R Ischium (R buttock) were measured as follows: L Ischium (L buttock): 6.5 x 2.5 x .1 = 16.51cm x 6.35cm R Ischium (R buttock): 6 x 3 x .2. = 15.24cm x 7.62cm There was also new maceration (skin breakdown due to moisture) to both sides. The resident was observed with a right upper arm PICC line. In an interview with the DON on 10/31/24 at 10:40am, she said she copied the last measurements the Wound Care MD entered on 10/7/24 and entered those measurements throughout October, because she did not want to enter the wrong information or the wrong staging. She said the wound care nurse left about 3 weeks ago and then before that they had another wound care nurse that was there that left. She said she expected her floor nurses to provide wound care but not touch anything having to do with measurements. She said she would know if the wounds got worse without measuring by noting the smell, drainage, and pain. In an interview with RN C on 10/31/24 at 12:51pm, she said she did not know of any labs/biopsies (tissue removed and sent to lab) that Resident #43 had to his wounds. She looked in his chart and said she did not see anything. She said when cultures/biopsies (tissue removed and sent to lab) are done, they put it on the 24hr report so they can keep track of it. She said the other nurses did not have enough time to perform wound care and that they really need a wound care nurse, but she makes time. She said Resident #43's wound care was mainly done at night, and she did not know of him refusing, maybe once or twice. In an interview with the ADON on 10/31/24 at 1:00pm, she said she did not know anything about the culture/biopsy (tissue removed and sent to lab) results for Resident #43 until the results were recently brought to her attention. She said the Wound Care MD did not communicate well and only communicated with the wound care nurse when they had one. If they did not have a wound care nurse, he kept to himself. She was not sure how it was ordered because there were no orders in the system. She said the results were always sent to the Wound Care MD's office and then they would fax them to the

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety
In an interview with the Administrator on 10/31/24 at 1:40pm, she said the ADON, and the floor nurses were assigned to handle the wound care treatment for the residents since they no longer had a wound care nurse. She said the floor nurses were aware they would be providing treatment and if they were not able to round with the Wound Care MD, then the ADON was responsible for rounding and entering orders. She said the ADON, and the DON were responsible for following up on the orders. The Administrator said when the last wound care nurse left there were no loose ends, or anything left outstanding that she was aware of. She said only the Wound Care MD measures the wounds and then the nurse enters the measurements in the system. She said if the Wound Care MD had not seen the resident in a while, like Resident #43, then the DON/ADON should have seen the resident and taken measurements.
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview with the Wound Care MD on 10/31/24 at 3:15pm, he said he did his own biopsies (tissue removed and sent to lab)/cultures and took them to the lab himself. He said he left a copy of his handwritten notes and a copy of the order at the facility. He said he usually gave it to the wound care nurse but if the wound care nurse was not there, he would give it to the floor nurse. If the floor nurse was not available or he could not find anyone, then he would give it to the DON or slide it under her door. He said he gave it to a floor nurse, but he did not remember who it was. He said the results were faxed to the facility. He said he got a biopsy/culture because the wound was deteriorating, and it appeared to look like it had osteomyelitis. 2.Record review of Resident #45's undated face sheet revealed he was a [AGE] year-old male originally admitted on [DATE], with the most recent admission on [DATE]. He had diagnoses of unspecified dementia (decline in cognitive abilities, such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning), pressure induced deep tissue damage of left heel (a type of pressure ulcer that occurs when underlying soft tissue is damaged by pressure or shear forces), protein calorie malnutrition (reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in body), contractures of right and left knees (inelastic fiber-like tissue in the knees preventing normal movement), muscle wasting and atrophy (thinning of your muscle mass), dehydration, type 2 diabetes (body does not produce insulin or resists it), and iron deficiency anemia (body is not producing enough iron). Record review of Resident #45's Annual MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score was unable to be obtained due to medical issues. The MDS revealed he had severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. He had impairment of both sides of his upper and lower extremities and was dependent with all ADLs. The resident had a nephrostomy (hole into kidney through abdomen to drain urine) and a colostomy (hole from colon through abdomen for stool to collect in bag outside of body). Resident #45 had a Stage 3 (deep wound with visible subcutaneous fat, but no exposed bone, tendon, or muscle) pressure ulcer that was not present on admission. Record review of Resident #45's care plan dated 4/20/23 revealed a Focus: The resident has a pressure ulcer: R Second toe (Initiated: 4/24/24, Revised: 10/14/24). Goal: The resident's pressure ulcer will show signs of healing and remain free from infection by/through review period (Initiated: 4/24/24, Revised: 4/24/24, Target: 11/17/24). Interventions: Administer treatments as ordered and monitor for effectiveness. Assess/record/monitor wound healing at least weekly. Measure length, width, and depth. Turn every 2 hours.
