She said she only did wound care once since she started working at the facility. She said she did the wound care for her residents on her hall because they just got a new wound care nurse who was in training. She said she did not know the exact time, but it was within the past three weeks that the wound care nurse started working at the facility. She said it was prior to the new wound care nurse being employed. She said she heard the new DON was the wound care nurse then and had just been promoted to DON. She said the weekend supervisor (she was not sure of the name of the supervisor) also did wound care on weekends. She said if the wound care nurse was not in the building, she did not know who was responsible for doing wound care and said no one ever told her who would be responsible if the wound care nurse not there. She said, they always have wound care nurse. She said she never encountered a situation when the wound care nurse was not at the facility. She said she got three days of training on general stuff - on the care to be provided to residents but did not have any competency checks - like when she did wound care, and someone watched her. She said she was a new graduate nurse, and she still remembered all her stuff and she would watch videos. She said staff were a great support - her fellow workers and the DON.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some In an interview on 10/18/2023 at 3:44 p.m., the Wound Care Nurse said she was hired on 10/10/23 and started working on the floor on 10/12/23. She said she was still in training. She said today was the first day she completed rounds with the wound care doctor who came to the facility every Wednesday. In an interview on 10/19/2023 at 9:10 a.m., Nurse A said she had been working at the facility since June 2023. She said she completed wound care on various days but most of the time during the week and not as much during the weekends. She said wound care was always completed during the first shift, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. She said the last time she performed wound care was last Saturday, 10/14/23, for halls 500 and 600. She said there was not a wound care nurse working that day. She said approximately 3 weeks ago, 09/27/23, she was the designated wound care nurse for the entire building, and said she was able to complete wound care on all the residents. She said she also probably performed her own wound care for her assigned residents on 09/02, 09/16, and 09/17. She said on October 15th they had a wound care nurse. She said every time she completed wound care, she went into the computer system and documented it was completed on the TAR. She said she would not document completion of treatment anywhere else unless there was something unusual i.e., change in the wound, in which case she would write a progress note. She said she was bad at remembering to chart the completion of wound care treatments on the TAR. She said the purpose of the TAR was to chart treatments and the instructions for the wound treatment orders. She said if the treatment was not charted then it was not done. She said the potential effect on residents if their wound care was not completed was wound deterioration. In a telephone interview on 10/19/23 at 12:22 p.m. Agency Nurse B said she had been picking up shifts at the facility for over a year and did not do wound care as a floor nurse but said she did do wound care on 10/10/23 when she was working as the treatment nurse. She said she documented all of her treatments on 10/10/23. She said she last worked at the facility on 10/10/23 and worked the 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. shift. She said she also worked on 09/28/23. She said she worked halls 500 and 600 on 09/28/23 and on 10/10/23. She said on 09/28/23 she did not have to complete wound care because there was a wound care nurse, but she did not remember their name. She said they would specify on the agency app, or the agency would tell them if they needed to perform wound care on the shift they picked up. She said she did not follow-up with the residents to see if they received their wound care treatments on 09/28/23 because she was certain the wound care nurse was there. In an interview on 10/19/23 at 1:31 p.m., the DON said she had been the facility's DON since 10/02/23. She said prior to the new hire of the wound care nurse, she was the treatment nurse from 08/01/23 to 10/01/23. She said the purpose of the TAR was to follow the treatment that was on there and to sign off on it once it had been completed. She said she worked 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mondays-Thursdays, and on Fridays she would only do wounds and would then go home. She said if she was out of the building the nurses on the floor were responsible for providing wound care to their assigned residents. She said on the weekends they used to have a weekend supervisor. She said as soon as the weekend supervisor quit, she made a sign that said nurses were to do their wounds on the weekends they worked. She said the nurses were told verbally, and a sign was posted at the nurse's station. She said agency staff were notified via the same method and that they were responsible for doing their own wound care. She said agency staff were already supposed to be trained on performing wounds and should be advanced in that they go from facility to facility conducting wound care. She said the only documentation they do was on the TAR. She said the TAR was the documentation that showed wound care was completed.
