Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident had the right to exercise their rights and to be treated with respect and dignity for 3 of 8 residents (Residents #1, #2, and #3,) reviewed for resident rights. CNA A failed to treat Residents #1, #2, and #3 with respect and dignity during her interactions with them.

Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 9/17/24, reflected she was paraplegic (paralysis below the waist), and she had a self-care deficit related to her paralysis. Interview on 10/15/24 at 10:40 AM with Resident #1 revealed she had two interactions with CNA A in which she felt CNA A was rude and impatient with her. Resident #1 stated she called for incontinent care one night and CNA A responded. When CNA A entered she asked Resident #1 if she had her briefs and her wipes and had undone her brief and wiped her front. Resident #1 asked CNA A if she was supposed to have all that ready before she called for help., CNA A rolled her eyes and left to retrieve supplies. Resident #1 stated her second interaction was the next evening and went along the same lines as the previous interaction. Resident #1 stated she asked CNA A how she was supposed to do all of that when she was just recovering from back surgery, but CNA A did not answer and seemed to rush through the task. Resident #1 stated she was left to feel like she was a bother to CNA A and took up too much of her time. Resident #1 stated once she experienced care from other CNAs she realized how care was supposed to be done, that CNA A was being inappropriate, and notified the Administrator when he asked her about her care.

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 interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents with pressure ulcers received necessary treatment and services consistent with professional standards of practice to promote healing, prevent infection, and prevent new ulcers from developing for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #4) reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure Resident #4, who had a Stage 4 pressure ulcer on her left lateral ankle, was provided with wound care as ordered by the physician. This failure could place residents at risk of developing infections or worsening of their wounds.
Findings included: Record review of Resident #4's undated face sheet reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included tumor in skull and face, dementia, multiple soft tissue injuries (pressure ulcers and wounds), and contractures. Record review of Resident #4's annual MDS assessment, dated 08/13/24, reflected a BIMS score was not calculated related to the resident's medical condition. Her Functional Status indicated she was totally dependent on staff for all of her ADLs. Record review of Resident #4's care plan, dated 10/08/24, reflected she had multiple pressure ulcers and skin tears, required assistance with her ADLs, and received nutrition via a feeding tube. Record review of Resident #4's physician's orders, 08/12/24, reflected an order for: Daily Wound Treatment: Stage 4 pressure wound to left lateral ankle cleanse area with ns, pat dry and apply collagen powder and anasept gel. Cover with island border gauze. Telephone interview on 10/14/24 at 10:00 AM with Resident #4's family member revealed they had concerns about the resident's care. The family member stated they did not think the resident's brief was not being changed regularly, staff were not providing appropriate peri-care, and her wound care was not being done every day. Observation of a photograph supplied by Resident #4's family member, date stamped 09/08/24 at 8:23 AM, revealed a dressing on Resident #4's left ankle with a date of 9/6 with initials. The dressing appeared to be loose on two sides, there was reddish drainage soaked through the dressing, and a trail of dried red fluid from the bottom of the dressing down to the bottom of the resident's foot.

for two weeks and had not interacted with the previous wound care nurse. The Wound Care Nurse reviewed the photograph submitted by Resident #4's family and stated the dressing should have been changed on 09/07/24, or whenever it was noted to be loose on the two sides or when the drainage soaked through the dressing. The Wound Care Nurse stated all nursing staff could provide wound care when she was not present by following the physician orders.
Residents Affected - Few Record review of Resident #4's September 2024 TAR reflected wound care to the resident's left ankle had been provided every day including on 9/7. The TAR did not reflect which nurse provided the care, only an x to indicate it was completed. Interview on 10/15/24 at 3:45 PM with LVN C revealed wound care was provided by the nursing staff whenever the Wound Care Nurse was not present at the facility. Wound care orders were present in the EHR to guide the staff. LVN C stated all dressings should be checked by the primary nurse every day and assessed for drainage, looseness, etcetera and notify the wound care nurse or change it themselves if needed. Interview on 10/16/24 at 2:21 PM with CNA D revealed she would report any issues with a dressing she noted while providing care to the resident's nurse. She stated if a dressing was coming off, or was dirty, she would notify the nurse immediately and help change the dressing if needed. Interview on 10/16/24 at 2:30 PM with CNA E revealed any time she discovered a resident's dressing needed to be changed she would notify the resident's nurse right away so it could be changed to prevent an infection. Interview on 10/16/24 at 3:00 PM with the DON revealed all nurses could provide wound care to residents and were expected to do so if the wound care nurse was unavailable, or if it needed to be changed emergently. Residents had wound care orders in the physician's orders that told the nurses how to provide the wound care needed. Review of the facility's Dressing Change Wound Evaluation policy, revised 06/01/15, reflected: An evaluation will be performed with each dressing change The evaluation is the ongoing process of noting wound characteristics each time a clinician sees that wound.
