Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) received
wound preventative measures as ordered to prevent skin breakdown, promote circulation, and provide
pressure relief.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure resulted in Resident 1 sustaining a stage 2 pressure ulcer (partial-thickness skin loss, where
the epidermis (outer layer) and part of the dermis (second layer) are damaged caused by prolonged
pressure) to their coccyx (tailbone), which had the potential to lead to complications including pain,
discomfort, and infection.
Findings:
During a record review of the facility policy titled Skin Integrity Management Protocol dated 1/2019, it was
indicated that staff were to relieve the underlying cause, addressing pressure, shear, other physical friction,
and maceration/moisture factors. The facility policy indicated to keep local areas clean, dry, and free of
body wastes such as urine, feces, perspiration, and wound drainage. The policy indicated to inspect skin
frequently for indications of hyperemia (redness, swelling, and warmth), non-blanchable erythema (redness
of the skin or mucous membranes), or disruption of skin integrity .sacrum/coccyx, and buttocks and to
apply skin A&D ointment (zinc oxide) as indicated for skin maintenance.
During a record review of the facility job description for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) undated, it was
indicated that facility CNAs were to observe and report the presence of pressure areas and skin
breakdowns to prevent bedsores.
A record review of Resident 1's admission record indicated they were admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included an intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur (a break in the upper part of the
thigh bone) after a fall at home with Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF - a surgical procedure used to
repair broken bones, particularly in cases where the bone is displaced or comminuted), protein-calorie
malnutrition (nutritional status with reduced availability of nutrients leads to changes in body composition
and function), panic disorder (frequent and unexpected panic attacks), and hypokalemia (a low potassium
level in blood). Resident 1 was their own responsible party (made their own financial and medical
decisions).
During a record review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standard assessment tool used in
nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to collect data on residents' health and functional status)
Section H Bowel and Bladder dated 9/26/24, Resident 1 was assessed as occasionally incontinent for urine
and always incontinent for bowel.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
During a record review of Resident 1's MDS Section M Skin Conditions dated 9/26/24, Resident 1 was
assessed as at risk for developing pressure ulcers.
During a record review of Interdisciplinary Team (IDT - team of professionals from different disciplines to
work collaboratively towards a resident's treatment plan) Notes dated 11/4/24, the Director of Nursing
(DON) indicated that Resident 1 had a Braden score (a tool used to predict the risk of developing pressure
ulcers) risk of 14 (a score of 18 or less indicates at-risk status) and indicated they were a moderate risk.
During a record review of Resident 1's admission Baseline Care Plan dated 9/26/24, Resident 1's skin was
assessed with surgical staples to the right hip and scattered purple discoloration to bilateral upper
extremities, and moisture-associated skin damage (MASD - skin inflammation and erosion caused by
prolonged exposure to moisture, like urine, stool, perspiration, or wound drainage) to buttocks and groin.
During a record review of Resident 1's care plan dated 9/27/24, staff were to observe for skin redness and
report accordingly. Resident 1 was at risk for skin breakdown or pressure ulcer formation. The care plan
further indicated that staff were to observe for the presence of skin breakdown during care.
During a record review of Resident 1's Physician Orders dated 9/26/24, it was indicated that zinc oxide was
to be applied to the buttocks and groin as needed for skin maintenance.
During a record review of the Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR - a structured
communication tool used to improve communication between healthcare professionals, especially when
discussing critical patient information) dated 10/28/24, Resident 1 had a wound to their coccyx evaluated by
nursing staff. Nursing staff concluded that Resident 1 had a stage 2 pressure ulcer (a partial-thickness skin
loss due to unrelieved pressure) to their coccyx, and Resident 1 verbalized pain.
During a record review of Resident 1's Physician Orders dated 10/28/24, it was indicated that the coccyx
area was to be cleaned with normal saline, zinc oxide applied and covered with comfort foam dressing
every shift for wound care.
During a record review of Resident 1's shower sheets dated 10/1/24, 10/5/24, 10/8/24, 10/12/24, 10/15/24,

indicate any reddened areas or rashes on Resident 1.
During a record review of Skilled Services Documentation dated 9/29/24 through 10/27/24, nursing staff
documented no skin issues for Resident 1 every day.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) A on 6/10/25 at 9:54 am, LVN A stated that the
facility expectation was for CNAs to document on shower sheets when they noted skin issues. LVN A stated
that CNAs should have documented rash for Resident 1's coccyx area and notified facility nursing staff. LVN
A stated that it was difficult to get CNAs to complete skin assessments on facility residents. LVN A stated
that they had voiced their concerns to the Director of Staff Development (DSD) but did not receive
feedback.
During an interview with the DSD on 6/10/25 at 10:21 am, the DSD stated that they faced challenges with
newer CNAs and resident skin assessments. The DSD stated that CNAs did not know how to assess

residents' skin and how to determine if a change had occurred. The DSD stated that they were aware that
nursing staff complained about CNAs and how they did not know how to properly document skin
assessments. The DSD confirmed that staff did not follow the facility skin assessment policy for Resident 1.
During an interview with the Administrator (Admin) on 6/10/25 at 11:30 am, the Admin confirmed that CNAs
and nursing staff did not assess and document per facility policy to prevent and treat Resident 1's pressure
ulcer. The Admin confirmed that the lack of assessment and documentation contributed to the breakdown
of communication and care that could have prevented a stage 2 pressure ulcer for Resident 1.
