She said she was responsible for daily skilled head-to-toe assessments. She said she had not done a complete head-to-toe assessment daily because she had her as a resident every time she had worked so she would do glance assessments. She said she did not document in the nurses' notes, complete a nursing skin assessment, nor initiate any interventions nor notify the doctor, or treatment nurse. LVN B said she did not know how nor when Resident #2 got the 3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe,3rd toe, 4th toe. She said she should have communicated her findings to the Wound Care Nurse and followed up to ensure orders were made for Resident #2 toes on her left foot. LVN B said Resident #2's left foot could potentially get worse if not treated is the associated risk that could occur.During an interview with the Wound Care Nurse on 12/09/2025 at 10:49 a.m., she said she was responsible for weekly and as needed head-to-toe skin assessments. She said her head-to-toe assessments consisted of her looking thoroughly at residents' skin from their head down to their toes for any new changes to residents' skin. She said it is important to complete skin assessments accurately because skin helps prevent infections because it covers the entire body and is the body's first barrier. The Wound Care Nurse said diabetic residents' skin should be closely, accurately, and thoroughly assessed because they had a greater risk for complications related to infection. She said diabetic residents' feet should be assessed daily by all nursing staff to ensure there is no break in their skin due to many diabetic residents not being able to feel their feet when they bump it. She said if she was unable to catch a wound then she relied on the charge nurses to assess, catch, and inform her of any new skin changes or wounds. The Wound Care Nurse said all skin issues should be addressed and documented. The Wound Care Nurse said if a resident had a skin tear or abrasion to the foot, she would notify the resident, doctor, family representative, DON, and charge nurse. She said she would complete a risk management, SBAR, skin wound note, incident and accident report, progress note, and treatment orders. She said she had already done Resident #2's skin head-to-toe assessment for 12/9/2025. She stated her findings were clear, no new skin issues, nothing was on her toes. The wound care nurse said she did not turn on the light while she did Resident #2's skin head-to- toe assessment on 12/9/2025. She said she should have had the light on when she did Resident #2's skin head-to- toe assessment to ensure she was closely, accurately, and thoroughly assessed. She said she did not know how long Resident #2 had the 3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe- 0.50 cm 3rd toe- 1.20 cm x 1.00 cm, x 0.50 cm, left 4th toe- 1.30 cm x 0.40 cm for. She said she was never informed by any nursing staff nor seen any progress notes regarding the skin issues on Resident #2's toes. The wound care nurse said there was no risk management, SBAR, skin wound note, incident and accident report, progress note, and treatment orders done on Resident #2 regarding her 3 scabbed skin tears on left 2nd toe, 3rd toe, 4th toe. She said Resident #2 not receiving treatment for her toes could lead to infection or ulcers.During an interview with the DON on 12/9/2025 at 12:08 p.m., she said the Wound Care Nurse was responsible for weekly head-to-toe skin assessments. She said the wound care nurse was responsible for documenting what was found during assessments. She said Resident #2 had 3 skin abrasions to her left foot, not 3 skin tears. She said she was not made aware that Resident #2 had any abrasions or skin tears to her toes on her left foot. She said her expectation was for skin assessments to be completed accurately, effectively, and meet the needs of residents. She said staff had been trained and in-serviced on the importance and need for daily skin assessments to be done. The DON said the associated risk to Resident #2 could be infection, diabetic ulcers, and not receiving needed treatment. During an interview with the Administrator on 12/9/2025 at 12:18 p.m., she said her expectations were for nursing staff as a team to look at Resident #2's skin and ensure she received treatment that's needed.
