Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide pressure ulcer (a tissue injury resulting from
unrelieved pressure over an area of the body) prevention and treatment for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 1) when the facility failed to:
Residents Affected - Few
· develop a care plan for Resident 1 ' s pressure ulcer upon discovery,
· monitor Resident 1 ' s pressure ulcer,
· provide a pressure reducing mattress,
· and reposition Resident 1 off the pressure ulcer.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 developing a 1 cm (centimeter, a unit of measurement) x 1cm stage 2 (a
classification of the severity of the pressure ulcer, stage 1 being a reddened area with intact skin, stage 2
indicating broken skin, stage 3 indicating an injury extending into tissue under the skin, and stage 4
indicating an injury extending into muscle and/or bone) pressure ulcer on the right buttock which grew to 7
cm x 7 cm over the course of 25 days and had become abscessed (a pocket of fluid resulting from
infection).
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE] for pain
management and rehabilitation after a left hip fracture. The admission record indicated Resident 1 was not
self-responsible, and Resident Representative 1 (RRP) was Resident 1 ' s representative.
A record review of Resident 1 ' s nursing progress note, dated 3/31/23, indicated Resident 1 had an
admission assessment performed by nursing staff. The progress note indicated Resident 1 did not have any
open areas on the skin.
A record review of Resident 1 ' s observation report titled, Braden Scale (scale to assess risk for developing
pressure ulcers) for predicting Pressure Sore Risk, dated 3/31/23, indicated Resident 1 had a Braden score
of 12, indicating a high risk of developing pressure ulcers. The report indicated Resident 1 had very limited
mobility and was not able to independently reposition oneself to prevent pressure ulcers. The reported
indicated Resident 1 was Bedfast - confined to bed.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/10/23, at 1:45 p.m., with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1 ' s progress notes for April 2023 were reviewed. A progress note dated

the right buttock. The DON clarified the open area was a pressure ulcer. The DON stated LN 2 was the
facility ' s wound care nurse.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 8/10/23, at 2:15p.m., with the DON, Resident 1 ' s
minimum data set (MDS, an assessment tool to guide a resident ' s care), dated 4/5/23, was reviewed. The
MDS indicated Resident 1 had a stage 2 pressure ulcer. The DON stated the stage 2 pressure ulcer was
the right buttock wound identified on 4/2/23. The MDS indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental
Status score of 13 (BIMS, a tool to assess a resident ' s status of memory and cognition, a score of 13-15
indicates intact cognition, 13-11 indicates moderate impairment.)
A record review of Resident 1 ' s care plan for pressure ulcer, dated 5/2/23, indicated Resident 1 had four
pressure ulcers including two on her left buttock and two on the right buttock. The care plan indicated
Resident 1 had interventions for a pressure relief mattress, weekly wound assessments and skin checks
and repositioning started on 5/5/23. Resident 1 did not have a pressure ulcer care plan in 4/2023.
During a phone interview on 5/15/23, at 2:55 p.m., with RRP 1, RRP1 stated Resident 1 developed a
pressure ulcer after she was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. RRP 1 stated she was admitted because of
a hip fracture and had difficulty getting up. RRP1 stated Resident 1 did not have any wound on her buttock
before admission. RRP 1 stated the facility needed a special mattress to prevent pressure ulcers, but the
facility did not get one until over three weeks later. RRP 1 stated the facility did not monitor the wound and
rarely repositioned her until it grew larger and became infected.
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s Physician Orders Report, for dates 3/31/23 to 5/9/23, Resident 1 ' s
physicians orders related to pressure ulcer treatments were reviewed. The report indicated Resident 1 had
a physician order, dated 3/31/23, for a Weekly Nursing Summary which included skin monitoring. The report

Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 6/1/23, at 11:06 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated
residents were typically turned and positioned if there was instruction by the nurse to do so. CNA 1 stated
the CNAs did not document the times or the position of the turning and positioning but stated residents
were turned and positioned every two hours. CNA 1 stated the nurse was responsible for documenting the
turning and positioning.
During an interview on 6/1/23, at 11:25 a.m., with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1), LN 1 stated nursing staff will
instruct certified nursing assistants (CNA) to reposition residents who need to be turned. LN 1 stated the
turning and positioning could be initiated without a physician ' s order. LN 1 stated CNA staff didn ' t
document timing or position of turning and positioning. LN 1 stated nursing staff were responsible for
documentation of turning and positioning.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/1/23, at 11:25 a.m., with Licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3),
Resident 1 ' s progress notes related to turning and repositioning for 4/2023 were reviewed. LN 3 stated if a
resident was repositioned for wound management or prevention nursing staff would document the resident
was repositioned. LN 3 stated she could not determine if Resident 1 was regularly repositioned off the
pressure ulcer in 4/2023 after reviewing Resident 1 ' s progress notes. LN 3 stated she provided wound
care nurse for Resident 1 but could not recall details of care provided.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/10/23, at 12:50 p.m., with the DON, Resident 1 ' s
physician order for a low air loss (LAL, an air mattress use to reduce pressure at areas for risk of pressure
injury) mattress, dated 4/3/23, was reviewed. The DON stated if a resident needed a LAL mattress, the
expectation was for the resident to be on a LAL mattress the same day if available. The order indicated
nursing staff needed to document once a shift if the resident was on the LAL.

A record review of Resident 1 ' s nursing progress note, dated 4/27/23, at 2:43 p.m., by LN 2, indicated
Resident 1 was ordered to start a five day course of antibiotics for a possible infection of the wound and
received the first dose of Bactrim (a medication to treat bacterial infection) from the facility ' s e-kit (an
emergency medication kit containing medications to treat immediate and/or serious medical issues) on
4/27/23.
A record review of Resident 1 ' s nursing progress note, dated 4/27/23, at 2:06 p.m., by LN 2, indicated
Resident 1 ' s open area on the right buttock was possibly infected. The progress note indicated the wound
was red, tender and painful to touch.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 6/1/23, with LN 3, Resident 1 ' s Wound Management
Detail Report, dated 5/2/23, by LN 2, was reviewed. The report indicated Resident 1 had a pressure ulcer
on the right buttock which measured 7x7 cm and was not present on admission. The report indicated an
incision and drainage (a surgical procedure to drain a wound of fluid) was performed on the wound. LN 3
stated this was the same wound identified on 4/2/23.
During a phone interview on 10/5/23, at 11:00 a.m., with nurse practitioner 1 (NP 1), NP 1 stated she did
not recall the condition of Resident 1 ' s right buttock pressure ulcer prior to the wound becoming infected
on 4/27/23. NP 1 stated Resident 1 was at high risk of pressure ulcer development and worsening of
existing wounds and expected nursing staff to closely monitor the resident for skin changes.
During a phone interview on 10/5/23, at 11:45 a.m., with LN 2, LN 2 stated he did not regularly work at the
facility and was on-call (working only when he was available). LN 2 stated nursing staff needed to monitor
Resident 1 ' s wound weekly according to the physician order. LN 2 stated he did not recall the condition of
the wound prior to his assessment on 4/27/23 but stated his documented assessment on 4/2/23 of an open
area measuring 1cm x 1cm on the right buttock was accurate. LN 2 recalled the right buttock wound was
obvious and could not be missed.
A review of facility policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Pressure Ulcer and Skin Care Management, undated,
indicated after a pressure ulcer is identified the facility develops the care plan using the clinical conditions
and risk factors identified .considers and includes interventions for pressure ulcer .treatment to provide an
aggressive program of consistent interventions by all staff involved. The P&P indicated a licensed nurse
completes a pressure ulcer or skin report: when a pressure ulcer .is identified and weekly until healed.
