interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately inform the resident consult with the resident's
physician and notify the resident representative when there was an accident involving the resident which
resulted in injury and had the potential for requiring physician intervention for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1)
reviewed for notification of changes.
Licensed Vocational Nurse A failed to notify the physician in a timely manner when Resident #1 sustained a
2nd degree burn to the left groin.
This failure could place residents at risk of second degree burn and decline in quality of life.
Findings included:
Resident #1
Record review of Resident #1's admission face sheet, dated 8/25/2023, revealed an [AGE] year-old male
who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted [DATE]. His diagnoses included right eye
cataract (blurry vision), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), retinal hemorrhage left eye (bleeding from the
blood vessel in the retina), sepsis (infection), dementia (memory loss), anxiety disorder (feeling of fear,
dread and uneasiness), abnormalities of gait and mobility (unusual walking pattern and hypertension (high
blood pressure).
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 7, which indicated
the resident had cognitive issues. For Section B1000: Vision: Resident was coded as a 2, which indicated,
the resident was moderately impaired- that iwas limited vision. For Functional Status G0110: Activities of
Daily Living (ADL) assistance the resident was coded for Transfer and Toilet use as 2/2 which indicated he
was limited assistance with one-person physical assist. For bed mobility, dressing and personal hygiene the
resident was coded 3/2 which indicated he was extensive assistance with one-person physical assist. For
eating he was coded as 1/1 which indicated he needed supervision with set up only. For bowel he was
coded as occasionally incontinent and for bladder he was coded as frequently incontinent.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, dated 8/08/2023, revealed the care plan goal was to maintain
adequate nutritional status and good oral hygiene daily and ongoing over the next 90 days. Interventions
were to Monitor assistance needed with nutritional intake and notify the physician of changes and assist the

A 4x4 foam dressing was over the left groin area, dated 08/28; the dressing had a yellow patch adhered to
it. LVN J stated the treatment was, probably Calcium Alginate; and the white substance on wound may be
Silvadene cream. The wound was approximately 4 inch long. Clustered wounds were along the crease of
the left groin, large, long patch with cream/white colored center, another area had scabs, another area was
a dark maroon color (like a superficial scrape); the skin surrounding the entire area was red. No swelling or

by himself. He said he had a coffee cup holder on his chair but removed it because it got in his way, and he
ended up knocking it off. He had a red cup with a lid, and he demonstrated how it worked. He said he had a
habit of forgetting to close the lid, when he carried it around and that was how the coffee spilled on his lap.
