Record review of CR #1's Clinical Record Progress Notes dated 10/15/2025 at 05:15 p.m. Nurse Practitioner (NP) A reflected facility requested a follow up visit to evaluate CR #1's wound. Assessment performed with WC noting a new onset of a sacral ulcer, approximately the size of a baseball with mild redness to surrounding tissue and eschar (a thick, black, leathery layer of dead tissue (necrosis) that forms on the skin after a pressure sore to center of area). Also, noted a DTI to CR #1's left medial foot (the inner edge, running from the heel to the big toe, forming the high part of the arch (medial longitudinal arch) with bones like the talus, navicular, cuneiforms, first metatarsal, and big toe). The medial heel and medial foot (below greater/big toe) had ulcers approximately half dollar size. Further findings noted 2-other ulcers to medial foot are approximately the same size. Spoke with certified nursing aid (CNA) A who confirmed those ulcers were new. Review of CR #1's intake log indicates he does eat over 50% of most of his meals. NP A ordered Complete Blood Count (CBC) blood test (checks the proportion of red blood cells in your blood to help diagnose and monitor conditions like anemia, infections, and blood disorders), Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) blood test (checks for fluid balance, metabolism, and kidney function, and to help diagnose and monitor various other conditions), and pre-albumin (blood test for measuring and assessing nutritional status. Low prealbumin levels can indicate malnutrition, liver disease, or inflammation), tomorrow. Also ordering air mattress and Prevalon (pressure-relieving heel protectors) boots to offload pressure. Consults to Dietitian and Wound Care MD have been placed. Record review of CR #1's Clinical Record Progress Notes dated 10/17/2025 at 10:00 a.m. reflected NP A's follow up visit with CR #1 noted pressure ulcers to sacrum and foot were examined and found to be relatively unchanged from earlier in the week. The sacral ulcer showed some improvement with approximately 10% granulation (new healthy) tissue now present. The wounds did not appear infected upon examination 10/17/2025. Laboratory studies from 10/16/2025 revealed white blood count (WBC) of 5.5 (normal), hemoglobin 9.2 (low, with a possible indication of anemia, which results from causes such as iron, B12, or folate deficiencies, chronic diseases, or blood loss), sodium 140 (normal range), potassium 4.5 (normal range), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) 12 (normal range), creatinine 0.82 (normal range), and albumin (the most abundant protein in the blood, produced by the liver and essential for maintaining blood pressure and volume) 2.8 (low range). The low albumin level was consistent with protein calorie malnutrition. I discussed with the LVN E about ordering an air mattress and boots to offload pressure on the affected areas. Additionally, I am ordering nutritional supplements (boost shakes) twice a day and placing a consultation to the dietitian for further nutritional assessment and recommendations. Will continue to monitor wound healing progress. Record review of CR #1's Clinical Record Progress Notes dated 10/20/2025 at 01:36 p.m. reflected: NP B seen CR for Skin and Wound.

Sacrum wound and left foot wound. One time day for wound for 2 days. Start Date 10/15/2025 08:00 a.m. D/C Date 11/16/2025 12:30 p.m. All treatments indicated as being received. Record review of CR #1's hospital records dated 11/02/2025 reflected CR #1's current diagnosis, medical condition and poor overall outcome if surgical intervention will be done. Family A had been made aware of the unstageable infected nature of themultiple sacral wounds of CR, and surgery is not recommended. Any intervention due to CR #1's end stage dementia, poorquality of life and possible non healing large post operation wounds that may develop, and CR#1 was entirely bed bound. Family A understands the need for hospice placement as of this time and is looking at new long-term facility. Record review of CR #1's hospital records dated 11/05/2025 reflected CR #1 admitted with chief Complaint: infected sacral decubitus. Inpatient Diagnoses: open wound - primary - Onset: 10/30/2025. At some point, CR #1 developed a sacral ulcer which got infected leading to this admission. Assessment and Recommendations: [AGE] year-old man with immobility and failure to thrive who has a large sacral pressure ulcer that is infected. Traditionally one would recommend excisional debridement but in this case this would be futile. CR #1 has expressed to Family A that he does not want life-prolonging interventions. Risk was discussed with Family A of the infection becoming systemic and leading to sepsis/death. Suggestion was to use a palliative approach / hospice and Family A is willing to pursue this. Goals of care will be pain control and odor control if it becomes an isolating factor that would keep Family A from spending time with CR. Local antiseptics will not be of benefit as the odor comes from the necrotic (dead skin) tissue under the skin level. Should odor become very problematic then palliative debridement could be re-considered. Foot DTI and unstageable pressure ulcers are dry and can be left alone. He has also lesioned on feet and wrists. Exam/General: wasted-looking man in no distress. Skin/Wound Exam: Sacral ulcer with fully necrotic wound bed, boggy (skin texture abnormality characterized principally by a palpable sense of sponginess resulting from increased fluid content) and with foul odor. Peri-ulcer skin without signs of cellulitis. Right heel with dark discoloration, no skin breakdown. Right ankle with necrotic ulcers, dry, no drainage or signs of infection. Left heel intact. Left lateral hip ulcer with necrotic base and anasarca (severe, generalized swelling throughout the entire body caused by extensive fluid accumulation in tissues). Moderate-to-large sacral decubitus ulceration (skin injury from prolonged pressure) with no evidence osteomyelitis (painful bone infection/bacteria) involving the underlying sacrum or coccyx (small triangular bone at the base of the spinal column). In an interview on 11/11/2025 at 12:12 p.m. WC stated that she had begun working for the facility full time approximately two months ago Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. She stated she previously worked PRN weekends. She stated that she had not been familiar with CR #1 at the time of his admission, but mid to end of October 2025 received an order from the NP C to begin new wound treatment to his sacrum. She stated NP C ordered labs and put into place the following interventions: air mattress, heel protector, nutritional supplements, and increase repositioning as CR #1 had begun laying on one side more than the other. She stated CR #1 was incontinent, had what the facility called a regular mattress. She stated that CR #1 sat on his bottom around the clock making and believed that it made it difficult for the sacrum wound to improve. She stated that she educated the floor nurses and CNAs after each wound care treatment to ensure that they were performing frequent repositioning to assist with worsening wounds. She stated a short time later (week or so) pressure wounds developed on both of CR #1's heels. She stated that the CR #1 had not yet received his air mattress due to a backorder issue as indicated by Director of Nurse (DON) who was responsible for insuring were ordered and put into place. She stated that at some point the heel protectors were received and put into place.
