The low air loss mattress (LAL, designed to distribute the body weight and help prevent skin breakdown) was not provided as ordered; and 2. There was missing and incomplete wound assessments. These failures increased the risk for wound deterioration. Findings: A review of the medical records indicated Resident 9 was admitted with diagnoses including heart failure (the heart cannot pump enough blood and oxygen to support other organs in the body). A Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 10/11/22 indicated Resident 9 was cognitively intact with a score of 13/15 in the Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, test of cognition). Resident 9's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk indicated he was at risk. Resident 9's physician order dated 10/6/22 indicated, May have LAL mattress for pressure ulcer and skin management every shift. Resident 9's progress note dated 10/21/22 indicated a new pressure ulcer/injury on the left heel.
