F 0686 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete wound care orders to apply skin prep to wound edges and applied the Santyl. The DON was asked for the facility policy on wound care, following physician orders, and quality of care. During an interview on 02/18/26PM at 1:57PM with wound care nurse LVN A said when she made rounds with the Wound Specialist NP earlier in the day, the NP said not to apply the Santyl to Resident #1's wound on the right hip. LVN A said she had not transcribed the order in the system because she had not gotten around to it. LVN A said she had not worked at the facility in months and when she did work at the facility, it was usually on the weekend. LVN A said until the new order is put in the system, one would have to follow the present order. Interview on 02/18/26 at 2:26PM with the DON when asked what order the nurse would follow if a new wound care order had not been updated in the system and the wound dressing became soiled and the dressing needed to be changed? The DON said that would not happen because herself or the ADON would have transcribed the new wound treatment. During an interview on 02/18/26 at 2:40PM, RN B (charge nurse) said she worked at the facility full time on the 2pm-10pm shift. RN B said if a wound dressing became soiled and had to be changed, she would look in the system to see what was ordered and go by the order transcribed in the system. RN B said whenever the Wound Care Specialist NP came to the facility to make rounds on residents with wounds, the wound care nurse made rounds with the specialist. RN B said the Wound Care NP Specialist normally put in any new orders at the time she made her wound rounds. RN B said the Wound Care NP utilized a cart with a laptop , so she could put new orders into the system before she left the facility.
