Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure ongoing nursing assessments for one of
three residents (Resident 1) involving:
Residents Affected - Few
1. admission Evaluation did not include skin condition of buttock area that had Mepilex (absorbent foam
dressing) for protection.
2. When pressure injury was evaluated, Pressure Ulcer Report was not completed until four days after
admission and Skin and Wound Evaluation Report was completed after an additional three days.
3. Care plans for rashes and pain were not personalized for Resident 1.
4. Treatment Administration Record (TAR) did not have entries for nine tasks related to skin monitoring and
wound care.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 not receiving ongoing assessments and the delay in having updated
status of pressure injury (a localized damage to the skin and underlying tissue usually over a bony
prominence or related to a medical or other device) may potentially affect Resident 1's care and well-being.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's face sheet, undated, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in July 2023
with diagnoses of muscle weakness and atrophy (decrease in size).
A review of Resident 1's facility document Braden Scale For Predicting Pressure Risk, dated 7/14/23,
indicated Resident 1's Braden score is 11 (score of 10–12 = High Risk).
A review of Resident 1's facility document Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to guide
care), dated 7/20/23, indicated Resident 1 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, toilet use, and
personal hygiene including total dependence with bathing. MDS also indicated Resident 1 required
substantial/maximal assistance to roll from lying on back to left and right side. MDS indicated Resident 1
had one Stage 2 (can be an intact blister or shallow open sore) pressure ulcer present upon admission.
