This failure could place residents at risk of infection through cross contamination of pathogens and infectious diseases. Findings include: Record review of Resident #6's face sheet dated 01/05/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old male with an original admission date of 11/21/25. Diagnoses included urinary tract infection and unstageable (full-thickness skin and muscle loss, with slough or eschar obstructing the wound bed) pressure ulcer (localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue, usually occurs over a bony prominence caused by prolong pressure) to the sacrum (a triangular bone in the lower back formed from fused vertebrae and situated between the two hip bones of the pelvis). Record review of Resident #6's physician orders dated 01/05/26 reflected: Cleanse stage 3 pressure ulcer to sacrum with NS, pat dry, apply sure prep to peri (around) wound, apply hydrogel (soft water based dressing that helps wounds heal) to wound bed, cover with dry gauze, secure with foam dressing every day and prn until resolved, one time a day for stage 3 pressure ulcer and as needed for soiled or dislodged dressing.
