F 0686 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 observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents who entered the facility without pressure ulcers did not develop pressure ulcers and a resident having pressure ulcers received care and treatment consistent with professional standards of practice to promote healing and prevent further development of skin breakdown or pressure ulcers for 1 (CR #1) of 6 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. Residents Affected - Some -The facility failed to prevent the development of CR #1's Stage IV facility acquired sacrum pressure wound and left heel deep tissue injury resulting in debridement and hospitalization. Resident was diagnosed with sepsis due to MRSA, Sacral osteomyelitis and sacral pressure ulcer. -The facility failed to timely intervene when CR#1's Stage IV Pressure ulcer continued to get worse and did not send him to the local hospital and only suggested hospice. -The facility failed to ensure a wound care specialist physician was notified that CR#1's facility acquired Stage 4 pressure Ulcer was continuing to worsen and the wound care specialist physician did not evaluate and or modify wound treatment during the 12 days to promote healing and prevent the pressure ulcer from worsening. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 01/28/24. While the IJ was removed on 01/30/24 at 2:02 p.m., the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of actual harm that is not an Immediate Jeopardy and a scope of pattern as the facility continued to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal. These failures placed residents at risk of developing new pressure wounds, worsening of existing wounds, decline in quality of care, infection and experiencing pain. Findings include: CR #1 Record review of CR #1's face sheet dated 1/10/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old male who admitted to the Nursing Facility on 10/21/2023 with the diagnoses of encephalopathy (damage or disease that affects the brain), epidural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness (bleeding between the inside of the skull and the outer covering of the brain), hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), hypertension (high blood pressure), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (acid reflux), low back pain, muscle weakness, obstructive and reflux uropathy (disorder of the urinary tract that occurs due to obstructed urinary flow), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), Page 1 of 10 675901 675901 02/01/2024 Cambridge Health and Rehabilitation Center 1106 Golfview Richmond, TX 77469
F 0686 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some unsteadiness on feet, abnormality of gait, repeated falls, cognitive communication deficit, and need for assistance with personal care. Record review of CR#1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 10 indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Section on Functional Abilities and goals revealed nothing was answered, no pressure injuries were noted, weight loss was answered no indicating no or unknown if loss of 5% or more in the last month or loss of 10% or more in last 6 months and no weight gain. Skin Conditions revealed CR#1 was indicated for pressure injuries and shows 1 stage 4 pressure ulcer (Stage 4 pressure ulcers are the most serious. These sores extend below the subcutaneous fat into your deep tissues, including muscle, tendons, and ligaments. In more severe cases, they can extend as far down as the cartilage or bone), and there was 1 unstageable (Unstageable pressure injuries are widely understood to be full-thickness pressure injuries in which the base is obscured by slough and/or eschar. Correct identification of these pressure injuries can be challenging among health care professionals and, although treatments vary, débridement is key) - slough and/or eschar (Eschar, pronounced es-CAR, is dead tissue that sheds or falls off from the skin. It's commonly seen with pressure ulcer wounds (bedsores). Eschar is typically tan, brown, or black, and may be crusty). Record review of CR# 1's Comprehensive Care plan undated revealed the following care areas: * an Actual pressure ulcer development r/t impaired mobility. Location #1 Sacral Stage 4 dated initiated 10/23/23 and revised on 11/10/23. A goal was for the resident to have intact skin, free of redness, blisters or discoloration by/through review date.

Monitor for incontinent episodes and provide care. (date 10/23/23). *Has unplanned/unexpected weight loss r/t poor food intake date initiated 11/13/23. Goal: weight will return to baseline range by review date and will consume two of three meals/day through the review date. The interventions were to give supplements as ordered, Alert nurse/dietician if not consuming on a routine basis, If weight decline persists, contact physician and dietician immediately, Monitor and evaluate any weight loss, Determine percentage loss and follow facility protocol for weight loss, Monitor and record food intake at each meal, Offer and encourage snacks/fluids between meals, Remeron as appetite stimulant. *Has surgical incision to lumbar s/p laminectomy (surgery that creates space by removing bone spurs and tissues associated with arthritis of the spine). Date initiated 10/21/23. A goal was the surgical incision will show signs of healing and remain free from infection by/through review date.

Residents Affected - Some *wound size (LxWxD): 8x9x no measurable cm. Depth is unmeasurable due to presence of nonviable tissue and necrosis (Necrotic wounds are areas of tissue loss that occur following the death of their component cells. Once an area of tissue becomes devitalized, dead tissue build-up commences which might inhibit the rate at which wound repair occurs) *Wound Exam (Site 1): Stage 4 pressure wound sacrum full thickness *Surface area: 72.00 cm2 x exudate moderate serous (Serous drainage is a clear to yellow fluid that leaks out of a wound. It's slightly thicker than water .Too much serous fluid is a sign of an infection) and thick adherent devitalized necrotic tissue-100%. *Dressing Treatment Plan: Alginate calcium apply once daily for 30 days; Santyl apply once daily for 30 days. Secondary dressing(s): gauze island w/ bdr apply once daily 30 days. *Plan of Care reviewed and addressed: recommendations: off-load; reposition per facility protocol; turn side to side in bed every 1-2 hours if able. Site 1: Surgical excisional debridement procedure: remove necrotic tissue and establish the margins of viable tissue. *Consent for procedure: treatment options-risks-benefits and the possible need for subsequent additional procedures on this wound were explained were explained on 11/21/23 to the patient who indicated agreement to proceed with the procedures. Procedure note: The wound was cleansed with normal saline and anesthesia was achieved using topical benzocaine. Then with clean surgical technique, 15 blade was used to surgically excise 14.4 cm2 of devitalized tissue and necrotic muscle level tissue were removed at a depth of 0.5 cm and healthy bleeding tissue was observed. As a result of this procedure, the non-viable tissue in the wound bed decreased from 100% to 80%. Hemostasis was achieved and a clean dressing was applied. *Post-operative recommendations and updates to the plan of care are documented in the Assessment and plan section below. *Post-debridement assessment of this previously unstageable necrotic wound has revealed the underlying deep tissue (pressure ulcer described as purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood filled blister due to damange of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear) at the muscle/fascia level, which had been obscured by necrosis prior to this point. This Wound has now revealed itself to be a Stage 4 pressure injury. This is not a wound deterioration. *Other diagnosis: Irritant dermatitis from body fluid: location buttock for at least 1 day, *history: bilateral buttocks, *treatment: zinc oxide-based barrier cream as directed. *Coordination of Care: Data and history pertinent to this patient's care were obtained via CR#1, nursing staff, nursing facility records.
