Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan,
and the residents' choices for one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to complete an accurate skin assessment on Resident #1 upon readmission from the
hospital on [DATE] in which six insect bites were not noted to his right hip.
These failures could place residents at risk of not receiving necessary medical care, skin breakdown, and
pain.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including type II diabetes, end-stage renal
disease, paraplegia (a form of paralysis that mainly affects the lower body), and muscle weakness.
Review of Resident #1's admission MDS assessment, dated 09/09/24, reflected a BIMS score of 15,
indicating he was cognitively intact.
Review of Resident #1's initial care plan, dated 10/03/24, reflected he had a skin impairment to the top of
his right foot with an intervention of keeping the skin clean and dry.
Review of Resident #1's readmission assessment, dated 10/14/24 and locked by the DON, reflected
dryness to his feet.
During an observation and interview on 10/16/24 at 12:12 PM, Resident #1 stated he had been bitten by
ants. He stated when he was admitted to the hospital (on 10/09/24) he had ants falling out of his pants. He
pulled down the sheet covering him which revealed six round insect bites on his right hip. He stated they
were not causing him pain nor were they causing him to itch.
During an observation and interview on 10/16/24 at 12:25 PM, the DON stated she only locked Resident
#1's readmission assessment and she believed LVN A had completed the assessment. The DON and
Surveyor went to Resident #1's room and she observed his right hip. She confirmed the insect bites and
stated it would be her expectation that they would have been addressed in the readmission skin
assessment.
