Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents received necessary treatment and
services, consistent with professional standards of practice to promote wound healing and to prevent new
pressure ulcers from developing for one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for pressure injuries.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to reinstate Resident #1's wound treatment orders after she was readmitted from the
hospital on [DATE] until 07/16/24. Her wounds worsened and a new pressure injury was acquired during
that timeframe.
These failures resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 08/30/24 at 1:44 PM. While the
IJ was removed on 08/31/24 at 12:55 PM, the facility remained at a level of actual no actual harm at a
scope of pattern that was not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of
the corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of improper wound management, the development of new pressure
injuries, deterioration in existing pressure injuries, infection, and pain.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including pressure ulcers, diabetes, history of
sepsis (a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection), adult failure to thrive,
and muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting away).
Review of Resident #1's readmission MDS assessment, dated 07/18/24, reflected a BIMS of 14, indicating
she was cognitively intact. (Section M) Skin Conditions reflected she was at risk of developing pressure
ulcers/injuries and had one stage II, one stage III, and one stage IV pressure injury.
Review of Resident #1's quarterly care plan, dated 07/02/24, reflected she was at risk of developing
pressure ulcers with interventions of conducting weekly skin inspections and providing treatments as
ordered.
Review of Resident #1's hospital discharge paperwork from her hospitalization from 07/07/24 - 07/11/24,
reflected the following:
PTWC consulted for management of CAPIs to L buttocks and sacrum. [Resident #1]'s CAPI to L buttocks
measures 1x1.5 cm and appears to be a stage 2. Wound consists of 100% red viable tissue. CAPI to
coccyx measures 1x0.5 cm and consists of 50% slough and 50% red viable tissue after selective

Review of Resident #1's wound assessments conducted by the WCD, dated 07/16/24, reflected the
following:
Residents Affected - Some
Stage 3 pressure wound of the left buttock full thickness: 6.0 cm x 3.0 cm x 0.2 cm
Stage 2 pressure wound of the right buttock partial thickness: 2.3 cm x 1.1 cm x 0.1 cm
Stage 4 pressure wound coccyx full thickness: 1.5 cm x 1.0 cm x 0.2 cm
Review of Resident #1's physician order, dated 07/16/24, reflected stage 3 pressure wound of left buttock:
Cleanse with NS, pat dry, apply alginate calcium with silver, cover with border gauze, one time a day for
wound care.
Review of Resident #1's physician order, dated 07/16/24, reflected pressure wound to coccyx, full
thickness: cleanse with NS, pat dry, apply alginate calcium with silver, cover with border gauze, one time a
day for wound care.
Review of Resident #1's physician order, dated 07/16/24, reflected pressure wound of the right buttock,
partial thickness: cleanse with NS, pat dry, apply zinc one time a day for wound care.
Review of Resident #1's TAR, dated July 2024, reflected no treatment orders from 07/11/24 - 07/16/24. The
first treatments for the wounds were completed after returning from the hospital on [DATE] on 07/17/24.
During a telephone interview on 08/15/24 at 12:24 PM, Resident #1's WCD stated he was not aware she
went without treatment orders after her readmission from the hospital on [DATE] until after his weekly
assessment on 07/16/24. He stated he would have expected her old treatment orders to have been
reinstated or to implement new treatment orders from the hospital. He stated a negative outcome of not
having treatment orders in place would depend on the situation of the wounds and it could just be minimal
negative outcomes. He stated he was unaware her wounds worsened after her hospitalization.
During an interview on 08/15/24 at 12:36 PM, the DON stated it was the responsibility of the admitting
nurse to reinstate all orders when a resident was readmitted from the hospital. She stated they also sat
down as an IDT and went over the orders together. She stated going several days without treatment orders
could lead to sepsis, worsening of wounds, or rehospitalization.
Review of the facility's Skin Care Guidelines Policy, dated July of 2018, reflected the following:
Purpose: To provide a system for evaluation of skin to identify risk and identify individual interventions to
address risk and a process for care of changes/disruption to skin integrity.
Process:
- All those admitted will be observed for baseline skin condition and evaluated for risk of skin breakdown
within 24 hours of admission. The findings will be documented in the electronic medical record.
