The pt is concerned because she had a toe amputation on that same foot. She states she told the Wound Care nurse approximately two days ago. Wound care nurse approached me and told me she was aware that to put the orders in is a process. There was no notification of this black area in question.

The treatment nurse stated after she left Resident #2's room she notified the charge nurse (did not recall name) of the skin irregularity and continued on with her day. The treatment nurse stated she did not notify the physician, NP, nor on-call physician team as it was not within her scope to notify them of Resident #2's skin irregularity. The treatment nurse stated it is the responsibility of the charge nurse to notify the physician of the skin irregularity. The treatment nurse stated the facility does collaboratively work as a team to ensure the residents receive continual care, however reiterated it was not her responsibility to notify the physician of Resident #2's toe skin irregularity.

antibiotics for Resident #1 on 02/18/2026 and Resident #1 appears to be fine with no signs or symptoms that necessitated emergent interventions. NP A stated while she was rounding on 02/20/2026 she spoke to Resident #2 who notified her of a concern regarding a dark skin irregularity on Resident #2's right big toe. NP A stated when she spoke to the treatment nurse, the nurse verbalized knowing about Resident #2's skin irregularity and interpreted the treatment nurse's response of to put the orders in is a process to mean that she did not want to dedicate time to advocate for orders. NP A reiterated the treatment nurse stated she saw the skin irregularity on 02/18/2026 and never advocated for orders. NP A stated while she conducted her assessment of skin irregularity on 02/20/2026 there was no cause for immediate or emergent interventions but placed order for an arterial doppler assessment for Resident #2. NP A stated the treatment nurse should have notified her, the physician, or even the on-call services on 02/18/2026 when she saw Resident #2's skin irregularity but did not. NP A reiterated when she assessed Resident #2's skin irregularity she did not believe the skin irregularity warranted an emergent intervention to send to the emergency room.During an interview on 02/21/2026 at 3:55PM the DON stated LVN A, on 02/16/2026 should have conducted two chart checks for Resident #1. The DON stated the expectation of the facility was for the nurses to complete two chart checks every shift to ensure nothing is missed. The DON stated she was made aware of the concern regarding Resident #1 roughly on 02/20/2026 when NP A wrote her a note and placed it under her door. The DON stated once she was made aware of the concern, she quickly conducted an assessment on Resident #1 and commenced an investigation on how the facility missed the critical value for Resident #1.

The DON stated MRSA could be caustic to any resident, and if not promptly treated it could lead to severe repercussions, however, stated Resident #1 never experienced any negative outcomes. The DON stated going forward she has in-serviced her staff to complete chart checks twice a shift and must notify the physician when there are critical laboratory results. The DON stated regarding Resident #2, the treatment nurse was correct in stating it was the responsibility of the charge nurse to notify the physician of Resident #2's skin irregularity. The DON stated if the responsibility was solely on the treatment nurse to notify the physician of all irregularities, she would not be able to complete her daily tasks. The DON stated she conducted a thorough assessment on Resident #2's skin irregularity on 02/20/2026 but looked like a blood blister and did not warrant an emergent transfer to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment. The DON stated the facility does work collaboratively amongst each other, and going forward, if any nurse is notified of skin irregularities it will be a collaborative effort to notify the physician and not solely the responsibility of the charge nurse.Record review of the facility's change in condition policy revised dated April 2025 revealed, our facility promptly notifies the resident, his or her attending physician, and the resident representatives of changes in the resident's medical/mental condition and/or statesThe nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician on call when there has been a (an):discovery of injury of an unknown sourcesignificant change in the resident's physical/emotional/mention conditione. need to alter the resident's medical treatment significantly.
