to his sacral area. LVN A stated she this morning she assessed Resident #1's dressing and wound before
performing wound care and his wound was clean, the dressing removed had minimal serous drainage, the
dressing removed was not initialed or dated, there were no foul odors associated with the drainage noted,
and there were no secondary dressings packed into Resident #1's wound. LVN A stated Resident #1 told
her it was the charge nurse LVN B on the 2pm-10pm shift who applied the dressing to his right ischium that
was not packed with calcium alginate. LVN A stated based upon her assessment of Resident #1's wound
was stable, there was no noted deterioration. LVN A stated should she notice deterioration of Resident #'1
wound she would notify his wound care physician. LVN A stated she had not had to report and deterioration
of Resident #1's wound to the wound care physician. LVN A stated with previous wound treatments when
removing Resident #1's wound dressing she had not noticed any other instance where components of his
wound dressing were not present, or the dressing not initialed or dated. LVN A stated the wound care
physician sees Resident #1 each Monday when he allows her to visualize his wound the physician had not
voiced any concerns regarding the healing of his wound. LVN A stated the wound care physician had
commented Resident #1 would potentially have the wound to his ischium for life due to multiple flap
surgeries with some failure to completely heal the wound to his right ischium. LVN A stated the risk to
Resident #1 should his wound care orders not be followed as prescribed his wound could become infected
or increase in size and or pain.

08/14/23 and provided wound care to Resident #1. LVN B stated as charge nurse she had access to the
wound treatment supplies and knew what treatment to provide a resident by reviewing eh physician order
for a resident in their electronic chart. LVN B stated after providing wound care for a resident she would
document a progress note in the electronic medical record the treatment was done. LVN B stated when she
provided wound treatment to Resident # 1's right ischium she dated the dressing. LVN B stated 08/14/23
she could not find the calcium alginate and did not use it to pack his wound. LVN B stated she normally
used calcium alginate to treat Resident #1's wound and when she could not find the calcium alginate on the
wound cart she did not look anywhere else or called anyone to tell them she could not find the calcium
alginate. LVN B stated the risk of not providing wound care and not applying calcium alginate to Resident
#1's wound was it could delay his healing.
In an interview on 08/15/23 at 11:56 AM Resident #1's wound care physician stated the resident had a
chronic wound to his right ischium which she suspected would not heal due to ischemia (inadequate blood
flow to that part of the body) and without another plastic surgery it would remain on his right ischium. The
wound care physician stated the wound to Resident #1's right ischium had been stable, there had been no
note deterioration to his wound and should there be facility staff would communicate any changes to his
wound to her. The wound care physician stated Resident # 1 had not communicated to her in the past any
concerns with facility staff not providing wound care per her treatment orders. The wound care physician
stated when she has removed his dressings and assessed his wounds the dressing she has observed were
dated, initialed, his wounds have not macerated (grow thinner or waste away) or deteriorated and she
believed Resident #1's wound care had been provided per her physician orders.
In an interview on 08/15/23 at 2:06 PM the DON stated in event the wound care nurse LVN A was unable to
provide a resident wound care the facility charge nurses like LVN B were to provide resident's wound care.
The DON stated wound care supplies are located at each nursing station and should a nurse be unable to
find a wound care supply on the treatment cart they should check central supply and or pick up the phone
and contact either her or LVN A to be directed where to find supplies. The DON stated she expected a
nurse who provided wound care treatments to follow physician orders located in the resident's
