Review of Resident #3's undated face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including type II diabetes, muscle wasting and
atrophy, wedge compression fracture of T11-T12 vertebra (a bone of the spine), and hemiplegia (paralysis
of one side of the body) following a cerebral infarction (stroke) and affection his right dominant side.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident #3's admission MDS assessment, dated 06/16/23, reflected a BIMS of 3, indicating a
severe cognitive impairment. Section M (Skin Conditions) reflected he had no skin integrity issues.
Review of Resident #3's initial baseline care plan, revised 07/05/23, reflected he had a suspected DTI
(detected on 06/30/23) to right lateral foot and hell and potential for further pressure ulcer development
related to immobility with an intervention of assessing/recording/monitoring wound healing, measuring the
length, width, and depth and assessing and documenting status of wound perimeter, wound bed, and
healing progress.
Review of Resident #3's physician order, dated 06/30/23, reflected a suspected DTI to right lateral foot and
heel - clean with NS, pat dry wit gauze, and apply betadine, leave OTA.
Review of Resident #3's weekly skin evaluation, dated 07/08/23, reflected he had no abnormal skin issues.
The name of the nurse who completed the evaluation was not documented.
Review of Resident #3's EMR, on 07/12/23, reflected no weekly skin evaluations or weekly non-pressure
ulcer evaluations had been conducted since 07/08/23. No weekly non-pressure ulcer evaluations had been
conducted since the detection of the DTI on 06/30/23.
During an observation and interview on 07/12/23 at 11:02 AM, reflected the DON assessing Resident #3's
right foot. There was a dime-size light pink area on the bottom of his heel. Resident #3 denied any pain to
the area when asked.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 11:17 AM, the DON stated nurses were responsible for conducting
thorough weekly skin assessments on their residents. She stated if the resident had a skin integrity issue, a
pressure/non-pressure assessment should be conducted weekly. She stated both assessments should
describe what they see, such as measurements and the stage of the wound. She stated if the assessments
were not being conducted accurately, there would be potential that they could be missing a whole lot of skin
issues which could lead to hospitalization or death.
During an interview on 07/12/23 at 1:12 PM, the ADM stated it was extremely important for all skin
assessments to be conducted timely and accurately by the nurses. He stated the DON was ultimately
responsible in ensuring the accuracy of the assessments. He stated the skin assessments were part of the
whole skin system as they addressed multiple facets to ensure something did not get missed. He stated
that details of the assessments counted, such as measurements of the wounds/injury. He stated they
assisted in tracking the progress of the wound, and let the staff know if they needed to change interventions
or if it was something they needed to discuss in their QAPI meetings. He stated the residents' care plan and
MDS should mirror the skin assessments, and that was the nurses' responsibility as well. He stated if the
assessments were not done accurately with all the details addressed, there was potential for negative
outcomes such as the possibility for the wounds/injuries worsening.
