This failure caused Resident 2 to suffer pain and had the potential to irritate and damage fragile peristomal skin. Findings:On December 10, 2025, at 10:07 a.m., an unannounced visit to the facility on a complaint and Facility Reported Incident were initiated. A review of Resident 2's medical records indicated the resident was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the digestive system, pneumonitis (infection) due to inhalation of food and vomit, pressure ulcer, (bed sore) of sacral region, (lies between the fifth segment of the lower spine and the tailbone), type 2 diabetes mellitus, (a chronic condition that affects the way the body uses sugar.

LVN 1 stated he was working on December 10, 2025, and provided care to Resident 2. LVN 1 stated that he changed Resident 2's colostomy bag, cleansed the area with warm water and gauze, and applied a new colostomy bag at approximately 8 p.m. LVN 1 further stated that after returning from a break, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) informed him that Resident 2's colostomy bag was leaking. LVN 1 stated that upon assessment, he observed some redness, where the adhesive contacted the skin, used a wound cleanser to clean the skin and applied a new colostomy bag. On December 10, 2025, at 12:19 p.m., during an interview with the Registered Nurse (RN), the RN stated that on December 6, 2025, she received a call from the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) to check on Resident 2. The RN stated that Resident 2 reported that during the colostomy bag change on December 5, 2025, LVN 1 sprayed a liquid on the site that caused severe pain that he had to cover his mouth to avoid screaming out in pain. The RN stated that she reported the incident to the facility administrator. On December 10, 2025, at 12:26 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident 2. Resident 2 stated on December 5, 2025, at approximately 8:25 p.m., the colostomy bag was leaking and needed to be changed. Resident 2 stated that on December 5, 2025, approximately 9:20 p.m., LVN 1 removed the leaking colostomy bag and used a spray that smelled very strong and burned so badly he had to bite down on his knuckles to keep from screaming. Resident 2 stated that the spray felt like alcohol. Resident 2 stated that on Saturday, December 6, 2025, he reported the incident to ADON by telephone.
