Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had interventions in place to prevent an Unstageable Pressure
ulcer in the thoracic spine (thoracic spine is the middle section of your spine. It starts at the base of your
neck and ends at the bottom of your ribs). From 02/28/2025 to 03/04/2025 Resident #1 did not receive
wound care treatment or interventions to prevent the abrasion found at admission from developing into an
Unstageable Pressure ulcer in the thoracic spine.
An IJ was identified on 04/03/2025. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 05:22 p.m.
While the IJ was removed on 04/05/2025, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern and
severity of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that was not Immediate Jeopardy.
This failure placed residents at risk to develop an unstageable pressure ulcer.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's face sheet reflected an 89 -year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
the following diagnoses Pulmonary Hypertension (blood pressure increases in the arteries of the lungs),
ADL Needs (activities of daily living), Chronic Kidney Disease (involves a gradual loss of kidney function),
Venous Insufficiency (condition in which the flow of blood through the veins is blocked), Diabetes (body
doesn't make enough - or any - insulin), and Myocardial Infarction (happens when a part of the heart
muscle doesn't get enough blood).
Review of Resident #1's Initial MDS dated [DATE] reflected no BIMS score for Resident #1. No indication of
skin conditions was listed.
Review of Resident #1's MDS dated [DATE] reflected BIMS score for Resident #1 at 14 indicating better
cognitive function. Further review of section M revealed risk of pressure ulcer injuries.
Review of Resident #1's Admission/Shift Assessment from hospital, dated and timed 02/28/2025 at 08:30
(am), revealed skin alteration as present/exits, other erythema (redness of skin), posterior back. Additional
