is to be done by the DON, ADON, or charge nurse and the Weekly Skin and Wound assessment should be done by DON, ADON, or charge nurse. During an interview on 6/2/23 at 1:15 PM DON stated that the RN's on shift should have done the weekly skin and wound assessment of the resident. She stated it was a rough month and multiple people were out and the skin and wound weekly assessment got missed. She stated each time she saw the resident the wound did not look to be improving or getting worse. She stated for wound care, all the employees must do is, go into the MAR and stated wound care is done. She stated they are to go into progress notes to notate if any changes to the wounds was seen. During an interview on 5/26/23 at 12:40 PM LVN-B stated that she did the wound care for Resident #1 but only on his leg. She stated she never did any wound care on his arm. She stated that wound care was split, she did wound care on the leg and RN-D did wound care on the arm. She stated that she understood that the weekly skin and wound assessment should be done by the ADON or DON if the wound care nurse was not present. She stated all she must do was click in the MAR that wound care is complete, she does not do any of the measuring or describing of the wounds. During an interview on 5/26/23 at 12:45 PM RRN-C stated that all the employees must do is fill out the MAR. She stated that no progress notes, skin notes, basically no notes were done for wound care. She stated the only reason anyone should make any notes on wound care, and they would be in progress notes, is if they see something new. She stated she is not sure why the Weekly Skin and Wound assessment was not done for Resident #1. She stated this should not have happened because this is the best way to track if a wound is improving or getting worse. She stated in the absence of the WCN-A the DON, ADON, or charge nurse should have completed this at least once weekly for each resident. She stated this is important to do because it is tracking a wound for each resident to identify if the wound is healing or not healing. During a phone interview on 5/26/23 at 1:25 PM RN-D stated that he did the wound care on the leg and on the right arm for Resident #1. He stated from the first time he saw Resident #1 to his most recent wound care; the resident's arm was just black. He stated no shearing or sluff coming off the skin was just black. He stated the wound did not really look bad to him. He stated the wound never changed, he stated the entire time the resident was under his care the wound never really improved or got worse. He stated he never did any notes of the wounds or anything in progress notes, he only initialed the MAR that wound care was complete. He stated he is not sure why the Weekly Skin and Wound assessment was not complete. He stated that the Weekly Skin and Wound assessment should be done by the wound care nurse, ADON or DON.
