F 0656
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
month of April 2024, revealed documentation of weekly skin assessments completed on 03/25/2024,
04/09/2024, and 05/01/2024. There were no weekly skin evaluations for the weeks of 04/01/2024 and
04/15/2024.
During an interview on 05/02/2024, at 04:00 p.m., LVN B revealed that the nurses are responsible for
completing the skin assessments and that if there was a change, it would be reported to the nurse
practitioner. LVN B revealed the skin assessments were to be completed weekly, are documented on the
weekly skin assessment, and that she and LVN C spit up the duties for their assigned halls, which includes
Resident #1's room. LVN B stated that she asked the CNAs to notify her if they observe anything new. LVN
B revealed she did not think that missing a weekly skin assessment would impact Resident #1 because he
still receives regular cream and antibiotic treatments on his skin and the CNAs document any changes on
the shower sheets, so new wounds would still be caught.
During an interview on 05/03/2024 at 10:01 a.m., Treatment Nurse D revealed she only completed weekly
skin or wound assessments on residents that she treated, and for residents without wounds, the nurses
would complete the skin assessment. Treatment Nurse D stated she had not provided a skin care treatment
or completed a skin or wound assessment for Resident #1. Treatment Nurse D stated anyone can run a
report in the EMR system to determine if the skin evaluations had been completed but she was probably
responsible for running that report. Treatment Nurse D revealed the impact of missed skin evaluations
included that they could miss the beginnings of a pressure or non-pressure ulcer, the potential of missing it,
and that the resident would now have a wound that would need to be cared for.
During an interview on 05/03/2024 at 10:45 a.m., LVN C revealed that the nurses are responsible for
completing a form for skin assessments once a week. LVN C revealed that she was responsible for
completing the skin assessments for residents in A-beds and LVN B did B-beds, with Resident #1 being in
a B-bed. LVN C stated LVN B would be responsible for Resident #1's skin assessments. LVN C revealed
that missed skin assessments would impact how the resident was and how they feel.
During an interview on 05/03/2024 at 02:43 p.m., the DON revealed the nurses are responsible for
completing the skin assessments, which would show up as an assignment for that day. The DON revealed
the skin assessments were found under Forms and Skin Assessment. The DON stated there was a report
that they could run for tracking the skin assessments, and it would show on the dashboard, which everyone
would review during the morning meetings. The DON stated that they wanted to make sure the
assessments were done and not look at the impact of them not being done. The DON revealed it was
important that everyone have their skin checked, regardless of if they were a resident or living elsewhere.
Record review of the facility's policy Skin Assessment, dated as implemented 12/07/2022, indicated, It is
our policy to perform a full skin assessment as part of our systemic approach to pressure injury prevention
and management. This policy includes the following procedural guidelines in performing the full body skin
assessment., and 1. A full body, or head to toe, skin assessment will be conducted by a licensed or
registered nurse upon admission/re-admission, weekly for three weeks, and weekly thereafter.
