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, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) who has pressure injuries (damaged skin and tissue from too much pressure) on the left ischium (bottom-rear section of pelvic bone) and right heel had a low air loss mattress ( LAL - designed to prevent and treat pressure injury) set at the setting according to residents weight as indicated in the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent and/or minimize skin pressure on the bony prominences of the body. This deficient practice had the potential to result in delay healing of Resident 1's pressure injuries and may result in new pressure injuries that may negatively affect Resident 1's quality of life.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), dated 12/10/2025, indicated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE], with diagnoses that included surgery on the genitourinary system (body parts responsible for both making and eliminating urine), retention of urine (a condition in which you are unable to empty all the urine from your bladder), history of physical injury and paraplegia (loss of movement and sensation, in the lower half of the body, including the legs). During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment tool) dated 11/2/2025, indicated Resident 1's cognitive status (ability to process and comprehend information) was intact. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touching assistance (Helper provides verbal cues and or touching steadying) with personal hygiene and dependent (helper does all the effort) with toileting, bathing, and dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 1 had pressure injury on the left ischium and right heel. During a review of Resident 1's Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore (skin injury) Risk dated 11/2/2025 indicated Resident 1 was moderate risk. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report (OSR) dated 12/10/2025, the OSR indicated Resident 1 was placed on: a) Low Air Loss Mattress for tissue management b) treatment for pressure injury on left ischium, and c) treatment for right heel pressure injury. During a review of Resident 1's current weight, dated 12/4/2025 indicated, Resident weight was 197 pounds. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/10/2025 at 12:30 PM with Treatment Nurse (TN) 1 in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 in bed on a LAL mattress pressures setting was set for 300 pounds person.

TN 1 stated, she was responsible to make sure that the LAL mattress settings was according to Resident weight, she just forgot it this morning. TN 1 stated, LAL mattress not in the right setting had the potential to cause delay in Resident 1's healing of her pressure injuries and may result in new pressure injury. During an interview on 12/10/2025 at 2:50 PM with Director of Nurses (DON), DON stated, Resident 1 uses LAL mattress because of her pressure injuries and potential for risk for new pressure injuries, it is used to prevent and/or minimize skin pressure on the bony prominences of the body. Resident 1 LAL mattress pressure setting should be set according to the Resident 1's weight. DON stated, Resident 1's current weight was 197 pounds, so the LAL mattress should not be set at 300 pounds.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 1 acquiring MDROs, contaminating other areas and/or spreading MDROs to other residents in the facility which could negatively affect their health and quality of life.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), dated 12/10/2025, indicated Resident 1 was admitted [DATE], with diagnoses that included surgery on the genitourinary system (body parts responsible for both making and eliminating urine), retention of urine (a condition in which you are unable to empty all the urine from your bladder), history of physical injury and paraplegia (loss of movement and sensation, in the lower half of the body, including the legs).
