F 0686
Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff provide preventive care
by consistently turning residents every 2 hours on two of two sampled residents (Resident 41 and Resident
42).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to result in worsening of pressure injury (bed sore, injury to skin and
underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on skin) for Resident 41 and developing new pressure
injury for Resident 42.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 41's History and Physical (H&P), dated 07/14/2023, the H&P indicated,
Resident 41 was admitted to transitional care unit (where assists patients as they transition from a stay in
the hospital to home or another level of care) for hypotension (low blood pressure). Patient had hemiparesis
(weakness to move on side of body) affecting left side as late effect of cerebrovascular accident (damage to
brain from interruption of its blood supply) and generalized weakness.
During a review of Resident 41's care assessment dated 07/14/2023, the care assessment indicated,
Resident 41 ' s Braden Scale (a tool to assess risk for developing pressure injury) Score was 12 (indicates
high-risk for developing a pressure injury).
During a review of Resident 42's History and Physical (H&P), dated 09/15/2023, the H&P indicated,
Resident 42 was admitted to transitional care unit for rehabilitation. Patient had sepsis (a life-threatening
complication of an infection), hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar),
cellulitis (bacterial skin infection) and debility (physical weakness).
During a review of Resident 42's PCS Open Chart dated 09/14/2023, the PCS Open Chart indicated,
Resident 42's Braden Scale (a tool to assess risk for developing pressure injury) Score was 14 (indicates
moderate-risk for developing a pressure injury).
During an interview, on 09/19/2023 at 11:07 a.m., with Wound Care Ostomy Nurse (WCON) 1, WCON 1
stated with Braden Scale (a tool to assess risk for developing pressure injury) score of 18 or below, high
risk turning protocol will be triggered to prompt nurses to document turning every 2 hours.
During an interview, on 09/21/2023 at 11:16 a.m., with Resident 42, Resident 42 stated he could only turn a
little and the staff turned him when changing him and when therapy comes once a day.
During an interview on 09/21/2023 at 11:19 a.m., with director of TCU (DIR), DIR confirmed both Resident
41 and Resident 42 were on high risk turning protocol which required turning every 2 hours.
