Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, for three of three sampled residents (Residents 1, 4, and 6), the
facility failed to ensure appropriate assessment, monitoring, and a follow-up evaluation of skin conditions
and injuries were conducted when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. For Resident 1, the treatment for a burn injury was not initiated or monitored upon return from the
hospital on April 10, 2025. In addition, a follow-up appointment for evaluation of the burn injury was not
arranged;
2. For Resident 4, a new skin injury (bruising [skin discoloration] to the left and right hands) identified by the
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on April 27, 2025, was not addressed or referred to the physician for
appropriate care and treatment. In addition, the licensed nurse did not conduct an ongoing skin
assessment, monitored the injury, or evaluated the resident for potential complications after the skin injury
was noted;
3. For Resident 6, a change in condition related to a known foot injury was not identified and communicated
to the physician for appropriate care and treatment.
These failures had the potential to delay necessary care and treatment, increasing the risk of complications
related to skin injuries and other skin-related conditions.
