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
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with pressure ulcers
received necessary treatments and services consistent with professional standards of practice to promote
healing, prevent infection, and prevent development of new ulcers for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #50)
reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility failed to ensure Resident #50's Foley catheter was not leaking,
causing the brief over the pressure ulcer to be saturated with urine, failed to ensure the WCN followed
proper hand hygiene and clean glove protocol, failed to ensure incontinent care prior was provided prior to
wound care; and failed to use proper wound care cleansing techniques. These failures and deficient
practices could place residents at risk for cross contamination, infection, and new or worsening pressure
ulcers.The findings included: Record review of Resident #50's face sheet, dated 01/28/2026, revealed a
[AGE] year-old female with an original admission date of 11/26/2025, and a current admission date of
01/07/2026. Pertinent diagnoses included Sepsis (a life-threatening condition caused by the body's extreme
response to an infection which could include symptoms such as fast breathing, fever, confusion, and severe
pain, and if not treated quickly, sepsis could lead to shock, organ failure, or death), Congestive Heart
Failure (or CHF, a chronic condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs,
leading to fluid buildup and other various symptoms), and Wasting Syndrome (also known as cachexia, a
serious condition characterized by significant weight loss, muscle wasting, and loss of appetite, often
associated with chronic diseases). Record review of Resident #50's admission MDS assessment dated
[DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 10, which indicated moderately impaired cognition. The MDS assessment
also indicated Resident #50 had one or more unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries. The MDS also indicated
that Resident #50 was dependent in toileting hygiene and had an indwelling catheter. Record review of
Resident #50's care plan, initiated 01/07/2026, revealed resident had actual impairment to skin integrity as
a stage 3 sacral wound (ulcers that have progressed to the third stage have broken completely through the
top two layers of the skin and into the fatty tissue below). Interventions included observe, document, and
report location, size, and treatment of skin injury, as well as any new or worsened alterations in skin
integrity. Weekly treatment included measurement of the area of skin breakdown, as well as any other
notable changes or observations, and report improvements or declines to the provider. The care plan also
revealed Resident #50 had a Foley catheter related to skin breakdown, initiated 11/26/2025 and revised
12/04/2025. Record review of Resident #50's wound note dated 01/11/2026 revealed wound was now being
noted as an unstageable wound (ulcers that are difficult to diagnose due to the bottom of the wound is
covered by slough [tan, yellow, green, or brown debris] or eschar [a hard tan, brown, or black plaque] with a
moderate amount of serous drainage. Measurements included length 13cm x width 12cm x depth 0.3cm,
with 40% slough and 60% granulation tissue Record review of Resident #50's physician orders started
01/19/2026 revealed an order to insert urinary catheter one time only for healing for 30 days. The orders

revealed an order started 01/08/2026 to cleanse stage 3 pressure ulcer to} Coccyx with wound cleanser,
dry with gauze. Apply Thera Honey (a product designed to promote healing and prevent infection in various
types of wounds), apply calcium alginate, and cover with bordered silicone bordered gauze daily and as
needed. In an observation on 01/28/2026 at 11:05 AM, the WCN prepared and performed wound care on
Resident #50's sacral wound. The old dressing, which was saturated with urine, was removed. The WCN
failed to wash or sanitize hands and change gloves when moving from a dirty area to a clean area during
wound and incontinent care by not sanitizing hands and putting on clean gloves prior to re-entering the
package of clean wipes, and not sanitizing or washing hands and putting on clean gloves when she paused
wound care to grab the urine and feces soaked brief to pull it down and to the side away from the wound
because it kept sliding up and touching the wound. She also failed to put on an adequate amount of hand
sanitizer to sanitize her hands, as well as not rubbing her hands together allowing enough time for hand
sanitizer to dry prior to putting on gloves. The WCN cleansed the wound from the outside to the inside,
wiping from top to bottom, instead of working from the inside to the outside (clean to dirty) in a circular
motion.In an interview on 01/29/2026 at 11:42 AM, the WCN stated Resident #50 had the Foley catheter
ordered and placed to assist with wound care healing, but the catheter constantly leaked, and the brief
stayed wet all the time. She stated she was not sure why the catheter leaked, but it had always leaked. The
WCN stated she should have made sure Resident #50 had a clean brief prior to performing wound care, as
well as not touched the dirty brief during wound care. The WCN stated not cleaning the wound effectively,
handling the dirty brief during wound care, and entering the clean package of wipes with contaminated
gloves could have caused cross-contamination and lead to infection and worsening of the wound. She also
stated a urine-soaked brief over the wound could lead to infection or worsening of the wound. The WCN
nurse stated that although she felt like Resident 50's wound looked better, it had progressively gotten
bigger and now has developed slough over it. The WCN also stated she realized she was cleaning the
wound inappropriately and ineffectively because she was tried to be gentle and not cause Resident #50
any more pain. In an interview on 01/29/2026 at 2:07 PM, the NP stated she had seen Resident #50, but
she had not seen her wound. The NP said typically the wound care nurse updated her while she was in the
facility to make rounds, if there were any changes the WCN was supposed to have let her know. She stated
she did not recall being called or told about any big changes with Resident #50's wound. other than the
DON calling and requesting an order for the Foley catheter to aide in wound healing. She stated if the
wound was increasing in size, even if it has gone back down to the original size, and even if the WCN was
saying it looked better, she should have been notified, and she did not recall getting any calls or
notifications regarding the wound progression or regression, but she stated she had seen a note in which
one of the nurses had called to get an order for a foley catheter to assist with wound healing, but that was
the only one she was able to find. She stated if she had known it had increased in size, drainage, slough, or
just not healing in general, she would have put in a referral for a wound care specialist to see Resident #50.
The NP stated considering the worsening of the wound, with measurements going up and down, and
considering the CNA and LVN were not cleaning their hands appropriately during incontinent care and
wound care, and considering the nurse had performed wound care while the resident was in a urine soaked
brief with feces in it, and the nurse touched the brief during wound care, things such as these could
contribute to cross-contamination and the wound not healing and possibly worsening. In an interview on
01/29/2026 at 3:05 PM, the DON stated re-entering a package of clean wipes with dirty gloves which have
both touched urine and feces could be considered cross-contamination. The DON stated the technique
utilized by the WCN to clean the wound could

contaminate the wound and reintroduce bacteria into the wound. She stated wound care was supposed to
be performed from the inner to the outer (cleanest to dirtiest) (she made a circular motion with her hand
while showing to clean from the inside to the outside in a circular motion). The DON stated if a nurse
touched a wet and dirty brief during wound care and did not clean their hands and change their gloves
afterward, it could have caused cross contamination, which could lead to infection and worsening of the
wound. The DON also stated she had obtained the order for the Foley catheter aide in Resident #50's
wound healing, but she was never notified by the WCN or any other staff that the Foley catheter was
leaking, and Resident #50 was staying wet. The DON stated this could one of the reasons Resident #50's
wound had gone up and down and was not healing. Review of the facility's Wound Care policy, revised
October 2010, revealed The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the care of wounds to
promote healing. Use disposable cloth to establish clean field on resident's overbed table. Place all items to
be used during the procedure on the clean field. Be certain all clean items are on clean field. Discard
disposable items into designated container. Wash and dry hands thoroughly. Wipe reusable supplies with
alcohol as indicated (i.e. outsides of containers that were touched by unclean hands, scissor blades, etc.).
Take only disposable supplies that are necessary for the treatment into the room. Review of the facility's
Hand Hygiene policy, revised February 2018, revealed 1. Hand Hygiene is indicated: A. Immediately before
touching a resident B. Before performing an aseptic task C. after contact with blood, body fluids, or
contaminated surfaces D. After touching a resident E. After touching a resident's environment F. before
moving from work on a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same resident G. immediately after

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the accurate acquiring, receiving,
dispensing, and administering of all drugs and biologicals to meet the needs of each resident for 2 of 5
residents (Resident #36 and Resident #19) reviewed for pharmacy services in that: The facility failed to
compare the instructions written on Resident #36's blister pack with the physician's order for lisinopril
(blood pressure medication) before it was administered on 01/28/26. The facility failed to ensure the nurse
cart for 100-hall was free from expired insulin pens.The facility failed to ensure expired insulin was not
administered to Resident #19 on 01/28/26. These failures could place residents at risk for non-therapeutic
responses to medications.Findings included:1. Record review of Resident #36's face sheet dated 01/29/26
revealed a [AGE] year-old female with an initial admission date of 12/13/25 and a current admission date of
01/05/26. The pertinent diagnosis included Essential Hypertension (high blood pressure without a single,
identifiable cause). Record review of Resident #36's MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score
of 4 indicating severe impairment. Record review of Resident #36's comprehensive care plan dated
01/29/26 revealed the focus The resident has a pacemaker [related to] Atrial fibrillation (common, often
chronic arrhythmia causing a rapid, chaotic, and irregular heartbeat, where the heart's upper chambers
(atria) quiver instead of beating effectively) initiated on 12/16/25. An intervention listed for the problem
stated Monitor/document/report PRN any s/sx of altered cardiac output or pacemaker malfunction:
dizziness, syncope (fainting), difficulty breathing, pulse rate lower than programmed rate, lower than
baseline B/P initiated on 12/16/25. Record review of Resident #36's order summary revealed an active
order in PCC (electronic health record) initiated on 01/05/26 for Lisinopril Oral Tablet 10 MG Give 1 tablet
by mouth one time a day for HTN HOLD IF SBP IS LESS THAN 100. Record review of the blister pack
containing Resident 36's lisinopril 10 MG revealed the order stated TAKE 1 TABLET BY MOUTH EVERY
DAY HOLD IF SBP < 100 OR DBP < 60. During an observation of medication administration at 8:00 AM on
01/28/26, this surveyor observed MA A take Resident #36's blood pressure as 105/57 mm/Hg. MA A
popped the medications she needed to administer morning medications to Resident #36 out of their blister
packs into a small cup, including the lisinopril 10 MG. This state surveyor asked if she was ready to
administer morning medications to Resident #36 and MA A stated she was ready to administer all required
medications. This state surveyor stopped MA A before administering any medications to confirm whether
the order in PCC or the order on the blister pack was correct. During an interview with MA A at 5:01 PM on
01/28/26, MA A stated before administering any medication she confirmed the right person, dose, drug,
route and time. MA A stated she was supposed to compare the order on the blister pack to what the order
stated in PCC and ensure there were no discrepancies. MA A stated if she saw a discrepancy between the
two orders she would inform the charge nurse and then follow the nurses instructions. MA A stated she did
not remember noticing the discrepancy before the state surveyor stopped her from administering
medications to Resident #36. MA A stated administering blood pressure medications outside of parameters
could cause a resident's blood pressure to decrease too much causing shakiness, dizziness or fatigue. In
an interview with the DON at 4:08 PM on 01/29/26, the DON stated employees administering medications
should verify they have the right name, dose, drug, time and route. The DON stated the discrepancy
between the order in PCC and on the blister pack should have been caught by MA A before the medication
was administered. The DON stated MA A should have called the charge nurse for assistance after
discovering the discrepancy to determine which order was correct. The DON stated the order in PCC for
Resident #36's lisinopril was correct so administering it to

Resident #36 when their blood pressure was 105/57 mm/Hg was within the prescriber's parameters. The
DON stated administering blood pressure medications outside of parameters could cause a resident's
blood pressure to drop too low leading to dizziness, nausea and sweating. 2 and 3. Record review of
Resident #19's face sheet dated 01/29/26 revealed an [AGE] year-old female with an initial admission date
of 01/28/25 and a current admission date of 12/12/25. The pertinent diagnosis included Type 2 Diabetes
(chronic disease where your body becomes resistant to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels). Record
review of Resident #19's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 3 indicating
severe impairment. Record review of Resident #19's comprehensive care plan dated 01/29/26 revealed the
focus I have diabetes and I am at risk for complications associated with diabetes: Frequent Infections,
Diabetic wounds, Vision Impairment, Hyper/Hypo-Glycemia (high and low blood sugar), Renal Failure
(kidney failure), Cognitive/Physical Impairment initiated on 01/28/25. An intervention listed for the focus
included Administer my medications as recommended by my doctor, monitor labs as indicated, Promptly
report abnormal labs results and significant clinical findings to my doctor as indicated initiated on 01/28/25.
Record review of Resident #19's order summary revealed an active order for Lantus . Pen-injector 100
UNIT/ML Inject 5 unit subcutaneously one time a day for Diabetes AND Inject 15 unit subcutaneously at
bedtime for Diabetes Hold for [blood sugar] LESS THAN 100 initiated on 10/30/25. Record review of
Resident #19's January medication administration record revealed LVN E administered 5 units of Lantus
insulin at 7:00 AM on 01/28/26 to Resident #19. During an observation of the 100-hall nurse cart at 3:05
PM on 01/28/26, this state surveyor found a Lantus insulin pen with an open date of 12/25/25 in the top
drawer. The label on the pen revealed it was ordered for Resident #19. In an interview with LVN E at 5:14
PM on 01/28/26, LVN E stated she was in charge of the 100-hall nurse cart during her shift. LVN E stated
she was not aware there was an expired insulin pen in her cart when it was found by the state surveyor.
LVN E stated insulin pens expired approximately 28 days after taking them out of the refrigerator. LVN E
stated the Lantus insulin pen for Resident #19 in her cart would have expired on 01/22/26. LVN E stated
she used the expired Lantus pen to administer insulin to Resident #19 in the morning of 01/28/26. LVN E
stated expired insulin may not be as effective as unexpired insulin, leading to higher blood sugars in
residents. In an interview with the DON at 4:08 PM on 01/29/26, the DON stated it was the nurse's
responsibility to ensure their medication carts were maintained. The DON stated a nurse should check their
cart at the beginning of their shift to ensure they had everything they needed, and no expired medications
were in their cart. The DON stated expired medications should not be stored in the medication carts. The
DON stated if an expired medication was in a cart, it could be accidentally administered to a resident
inappropriately. The DON stated administering expired insulin could lead to less control over a resident's
blood sugar. Record review of the facility policy titled Administering Medications revised on April 2019
stated the following: .10. The individual administering the medication checks the label THREE (3) times to
verify the right resident, right medication, right dosage, right time and right method (route) of administration
before giving the medication.12. The expiration/beyond use date on the medication label is checked prior to
administering.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment, and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 12 of 12 residents reviewed
for infection control practices.The facility failed to ensure all residents on EBP in the facility had EBP signs
posted on residents' doors or walls outside of the rooms.The facility also failed to ensure the WCN and
CNA-H followed properly sanitized their hands and changed their gloves during wound and incontinent care
on 01/28/2026 for Resident #50's The WCN and CNA-H also failed to sanitize hands and apply clean
gloves prior to getting wipes out of the clean container of wipes.These failures and deficient practices could
place residents at risk for the wrong PPE being utilized, cross-contamination, and possible infection. The
findings included:Record review of Resident #50's face sheet, dated 01/28/2026, revealed a [AGE] year-old
female with an original admission date of 11/26/2025, and a current admission date of 01/07/2026.
Pertinent diagnoses included Sepsis (a life-threatening condition caused by the body's extreme response to
an infection which could include symptoms such as fast breathing, fever, confusion, and severe pain, and if
not treated quickly, sepsis could lead to shock, organ failure, or death), Congestive Heart Failure (or CHF, a
chronic condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to fluid
buildup and other various symptoms), and Wasting Syndrome (also known as cachexia, a serious condition
characterized by significant weight loss, muscle wasting, and loss of appetite, often associated with chronic
diseases).Record review of Resident #50's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS
score of 10, which indicated moderately impaired cognition. The MDS assessment also indicated Resident
#50 had one or more unhealed pressure ulcers/injuries. The MDS also indicated that Resident #50 was
dependent in toileting hygiene and had an indwelling catheter. Record review of Resident #50's care plan,
initiated 01/07/2026, revealed resident had actual impairment to skin integrity as a stage 3 sacral wound
(ulcers that have progressed to the third stage have broken completely through the top two layers of the
skin and into the fatty tissue below). The care plan also revealed Resident #50 had a Foley catheter related
to skin breakdown, initiated 11/26/2025 and revised 12/04/2025. Record review of the list of residents on
precautions, from the DON, dated 01/29/2025, revealed 12 residents throughout the facility were on EBP.In
an observation on 01/27/2026 at 8:25 AM, it was observed multiple rooms, to include multiple rooms on
Halls 100, 200, 300, and 400, as well as Resident #50's room, had PPE containers, but no EBP signage,
which was used to explain to providers, staff, and visitors the proper PPE which must be worn for the high
contact activities, such as dressing, bathing, transferring, changing linens, providing hygiene, changing
briefs or assisting with toileting, device care, and/or wound care.In an observation on 01/28/2026 at 11:05
AM, the WCN failed to wash or sanitize hands and change gloves when moving from a dirty area to a clean
area during wound and incontinent care by not sanitizing hands and putting on clean gloves prior to
re-entering the package of clean wipes, and not sanitizing or washing hands and putting on clean gloves
when she paused wound care to grab the urine and feces soaked brief to pull it down and to the side away
from the wound because it kept sliding up and touching the wound. She also failed to put on an adequate
amount of hand sanitizer to sanitize her hands (per the directions apply enough hand sanitizer to cover all
surfaces of the hands), as well as not rubbing her hands together allowing enough time for hand sanitizer to
dry prior to putting on gloves. The WCN cleansed the wound from the outside to the inside, wiping from top
to bottom, instead of working from the inside to the outside (clean to dirty) in a circular motion. After wound
care was completed, the

WCN and CNA-H were noted to perform incontinent care on Resident #50, in which both CNA-H and the
WCN re-entered the clean container of wipes with dirty gloves to clean Resident #50. The WCN then exited
the room while CNA-H finished cleaning and changing Resident #50's brief, in which she used the same
gloves and never performed hand hygiene or changed gloves until she had completed the incontinent care
and placed a clean brief under Resident #50. CNA-H was noted to carry the container of contaminated
wipes out of Resident #50's room.In an interview on 01/29/2026 at 11:42 AM, the WCN stated she knew
which residents were on EBP because it was on their charts and there was a sign inside the room over the
bed. She stated she was not sure if there was supposed to be a sign posted on the door or outside of the
room, but it would make sense so anyone entering knew the proper PPE to utilize prior to entering the
room. She also stated should have made sure Resident #50 had a clean brief prior to performing wound
care, as well as not touched the dirty brief during wound care. The WCN stated not cleaning the wound
effectively, handling the dirty brief during wound care, and entering the clean package of wipes with
contaminated gloves could have caused cross-contamination and lead to infection and worsening of the
wound. The WCN also stated she realized she was cleaning the wound inappropriately and ineffectively
because she was trying to be gentle and not cause Resident #50 any more pain.In an interview on
01/29/2026 at 2:07 PM, the NP stated considering the CNA and LVN were not cleaning their hands
appropriately during incontinent care and wound care, and considering the nurse had performed wound
care while a resident was in a urine soaked brief with feces in it, and the nurse touched the brief during
wound care, things such as these could contribute to cross-contamination and wounds not healing and/or
possibly worsening.In an interview on 01/29/2026 at 3:05 PM, the DON stated she thought as long as the
EBP signs were posted in the residents' rooms for staff and visitors, then it was okay. She stated she had
not realized they had to be posted on the door or the wall outside the residents' rooms just like the contact
precaution signs. The DON also stated staff were not supposed to take items into the room of residents on
precautions, then bring them back out of the room because it could have caused cross-contamination and
could lead to infections. She also stated re-entering a package of clean wipes with dirty gloves which had
both touched urine and feces could be considered cross-contamination. The DON stated the technique
utilized by the WCN to clean the wound could cause cross contamination of the wound and reintroduce
bacteria into the wound. The DON stated if a nurse touched a wet and dirty brief during wound care and did
not clean their hands and change their gloves afterward, it could have caused cross contamination, which
could lead to infection and worsening of the wounds. In an interview on 01/29/2026 at 5:19 PM, CNA-H
stated she did not recall being in-serviced over hand washing and changing gloves in between tasks on the
same resident when going from dirty to clean. She stated reaching into the clean wipes container after your
gloves are contaminated could cause cross-contamination. CNA-H also stated touch the clean linens or
clean brief with dirty or contaminated gloves could cause cross-contamination.Record review of an
in-service for Standard Precautions Hand Washing and Glove Use, dated 10/03/2025, revealed Any
employee touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions and contaminated items must wear gloves.
Clean gloves must be put on between tasks and procedures involving the same residents.Record review of
the facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy, revised February 2025, revealed Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (EBP) refers to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of
multidrug-resistant organisms that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care
activities. 2. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use in addition to standard precautions during high
contact resident care activities when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. 5. EBPs are indicated
(when contact precautions do not otherwise apply) for residents with wounds and/or indwelling
