During a review of Resident 1's pressure ulcer care plan dated 10/11/24, the care plan indicated for treatments to be performed as ordered. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report dated 10/13/24, the Order Summary Report indicated the treatment for Resident 1's sacrum pressure ulcer was: every day shift was to cleanse wound with normal saline, pat dry, apply santyl (ointment, treatment of choice to remove damaged tissue from chronic wounds) and cover with optifoam (type of foam dressing). During an interview on 11/22/24 at 10:20 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated he had a wound on his buttock which needed to be cleaned and re-dressed every day. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated 10/16/24, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had a score of 12 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, is a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive status in regard to attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information. A BIMS score of eight to 12 is an indication of moderate impairment; a score of 13 to 15 is an indication of intact cognitive status).
