Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was unable to carry out
activities of daily living received necessary services to maintain good nutrition, grooming, and personal and
oral hygiene for three of five residents (Resident #3, Resident #4, and Resident #5) reviewed for ADLs.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to provide showers to Residents #3, #4, and #5 in compliance with their shower
schedules.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of a decline in hygiene, at risk of skin breakdown, level
of satisfaction with life, and feelings of self-worth.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #3's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) and hemiparesis
(one-sided muscle weakness) following cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting right dominant side, muscle
weakness, and muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting away).
Review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 10/24/24, reflected a BIMS score of 10,
indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Section G (Functional Status) reflected she required
extensive assistance with her ADLs.
Review of Resident #3's quarterly care plan, dated 10/29/24, reflected she had a self-care deficit and
required assistance (total care) with ADLs with an intervention of providing/assisting with bath or shower as
per scheduled and as needed.
Review of Resident #3's shower records in her EMR, from 10/22/24 - 11/22/24, reflected she received
seven baths/showers - 10/23/24, 10/31/24, 11/06/24, 11/09/24, 11/16/24, 11/21/24, and 11/22/24.
During an observation and interview on 11/22/24 at 11:39 AM, revealed Resident #3 in the dining room
waiting for lunch. Her hair was messy and greasy, face was oily, and her eyes were crusty. She stated she
did not have a shower that day and she would go long periods of time without getting showers. She stated
she believed she deserved to get showers and it made her feel sad.
Review of Resident #4's undated face sheet reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, heart failure, lack of coordination,
unsteadiness on feet, and muscle wasting and atrophy.

Provide appropriate treatment and care according to orders, resident’s preferences and goals.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan,
and the residents' choices for one (Resident #1) of four residents reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to assess and put treatment orders in place when Resident #1 developed a rash under
her abdominal fold causing her excruciating pain.
These failures placed residents at risk of improper wound management, the development of new skin
integrity issues, deterioration in existing skin integrity, infection, and pain.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #1's undated face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dermatitis (skin conditions), type II diabetes, reduced mobility,
morbid obesity, and muscle wasting and atrophy (wasting away).
Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 08/26/24, reflected a BIMS score of 10,
indicating she was moderately cognitively impaired. Section M (Skin Conditions) reflected she was at risk of
developing pressure ulcers/injuries.
Review of Resident #1's quarterly care plan, dated 11/01/24, reflected she was at risk for pressure ulcers
due to impaired mobility with an intervention of conducting a skin assessment and inspection every shift.
Review of Resident #1's skin assessment, dated 11/19/24 and created by LVN A, reflected no new skin
issues noted.
Review of Resident #1's physician orders, on 11/22/24, reflected no orders for skin treatments.
Review of Resident #1's physician orders, on 11/25/24, reflected an order dated 11/22/24 for Nystop (an
antifungal powder) - 100,000 unit/gram - apply small amount to resident skin fold three times a day until
healed for moisture accumulation.
During an observation and interview on 11/22/24 at 2:15 PM, Resident #1 asked to speak with this
Surveyor. She stated over a week ago, a CNA at night (did not remember her name) tore off her brief too
fast and the Velcro got stuck on her skin and ripped it. She stated it bled for at least four days and a nurse
had not assessed her until that day (11/22/24) when they put some kind of powder on it. She opened her
brief which revealed an irritated red rash under her abdominal fold. Resident #1 grimaced and winced in
pain when she picked up her abdominal fold to show the irritated area. CNA B entered the room and stated
the red area to Resident #1 had been there for at least two weeks. She stated she had been telling nurses
and no one had assessed her until that day (11/22/24) when she requested LVN C to look at it. She stated
at that time, LVN C applied Nystatin powder to the area. She stated she believed Resident #1 needed to be
assessed by the WCN. She stated that day (11/22/24) Resident #1 had been in the most pain from the area
as she would have tears in her eyes when she rolled her over to provide incontinent care. Resident #1
stated it made her feel like she was not a priority.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
During an interview on 11/22/24 at 3:18 PM, LVN C stated today (11/22/24) was her first actual day working
at the facility. She stated CNA B asked her to look at Resident #1's skin earlier in the day and stated the
area should have been assessed long before that day. She stated she left a note for the WCN so it could be
further assessed. She stated she applied Nystatin powder because it appeared to be a fungal rash.
Residents Affected - Some
During a telephone interview on 11/22/24 at 3:47 PM, Resident #1's RP stated he visited her every single
day. He stated the redness to her skin happened at least a week ago. He stated an aide snatched the brief
off her and the Velcro scraped her skin. He stated they had not been able to get a nurse to look at it and
she had been in a lot of pain. He stated the area was getting worse daily.
During an interview on 11/22/24 at 4:00 PM, LVN A stated on 11/19/24 she and the ADON did a skin sweep
(skin assessments) on all residents in the facility. She stated the ADON did Resident #1's actual skin
assessment and she just signed off on it. She stated she did not remember if the ADON told her she had
any skin integrity issues.
During a telephone interview on 11/23/24 at 9:10 AM, the ADON stated she and LVN A did a lot of skin
assessments together on 11/19/24. She stated she could not recall if Resident #1 had any new skin
integrity issues. She stated Resident #1 did not have a history of a rash but did remember her having some
redness to her abdominal folds at the beginning of October (2024). She stated she was not sure if she had
treatment orders in place or if she was being seen by the WCN or WCD.
During a telephone interview on 11/23/24 at 9:16 AM, the WCN stated she had not been notified about any
skin issues for Resident #1. She stated her expectations were that the nurses notify her of any new skin
integrity issues for all residents as that was the procedure. She stated if she had been aware, she would
have assessed her and would have absolutely put treatment orders in place.
During a telephone interview on 11/23/24 at 9:25 AM, the WCD stated he had not been notified of any skin
issues regarding Resident #1. He stated his expectations were that all skin integrity issues were relayed to
the WCN.
During a telephone interview on 11/25/24 at 10:58 AM, the DON stated she was notified of redness to
Resident #1's skin on 11/22/24 and a nurse assessed it. She stated their WCN assessed it over the
weekend and their WCD was at the facility that day (11/25/24). She stated if no new skin issues had been
marked on the skin assessment on 11/19/24 , it could mean the redness was not a new issue. She stated
her expectation was that it should have been relayed to the WCN so she could assess the area and contact
the WCD or NP to get orders if they chose to. She stated not providing treatment could cause worsening of
skin issues.
Review of the facility's Prevention of Pressure Injuries Policy, dated April 2020, reflected the following:
The purpose of this procedure is to provide information regarding identification of pressure injury risk
factors and interventions for specific risk factors.
Preparation
Review the resident's care plan and identify the risk factors as well as the interventions designed to reduce
or eliminate those considered modifiable.

side, removed soiled brief and put in the unlined trash can. CNA B stated to perform incontinent for
Resident #2 and put the soiled wipes in the unlined trash can, wounds at the back of Resident #2's thigh
were exposed. CNA B then walked to the light switch, used soiled gloved hand to turn the light brighter,
touching the privacy curtains with gloved hands thereby contaminating the curtains and the light switch.
CNA B was also observed wiping Resident #2 and soiled wipes were also put in the unlined trash can. CNA
B repositioned Resident #2 on her back, same gloved hands, touching Resident #2's blanket to cover her,
removed gloves, performed hand hygiene and walked out of the room to call the nurse. Later, CNA B
returned to Resident #2's room followed by LVN C, both staff don gown and gloves, no hand hygiene. LVN
C did not have a clean field for wound care set up, not bag for soiled dressings. LVN C put wound care
supplies on Resident #2's bed, removed soiled dressing and put in the unlined trash care, did not change
gloves or perform hand hygiene cleaned wound with normal saline, pat dry while wearing same soiled
gloves. LVN C applied collagen to wound bed wearing same soiled gloves, then changed gloves after
applying the medication to the wound bed, LVN C then reached in her pocket for sharpie by lifting up her
isolation gown there by contaminating the gloves. It was observed Resident #2 started to have a bowel
movement, LVN C then started to cleaned Resident #2's bowel movement and put the soiled wipes in the
unlined trash can. LVN C then changed her gloves, no hand hygiene, applied clean dressing on Resident
#2's wound while LVN C hands were touching the inner portion of the dressing. CNA B removed gloves, no
hand hygiene, stepped out of Resident #2's room while wearing the isolation gown, stepped back in the
room, removed isolation gown and provided trash bag to CNA B to empty the trash in it. LVN C then left the
room without hand hygiene.
During an interview on 11/22/2024 at 3:00 pm, CNA B stated she was trained and in-serviced on enhanced
barrier precautions. She stated she should have donned PPE when providing peri care for Resident #2.
She also stated Resident #2's wound dressing always came out during incontinent care. CNA B said PPE is
to protect the residents and the staff from bodily fluids from infection due to opened wounds. CNA B also
stated hand hygiene is performed before and after care and also with glove changes. She stated she did
not think touching a light switch would warrant a glove change and hand hygiene before going back to
providing care.
During an interview on 11/22/2024 at 3:18 pm, LVN C stated she worked with the facility before through
agencies and that was her first day as facility staff. She stated she had not yet done training at the facility.
LVN C stated enhanced barrier precautions was infection control for residents with wounds, and the gloves
and the gowns were to protect herself (LVN C). LVN C stated hand hygiene is done before care for a
resident and that she did not perform hand hygiene because there was no sanitizer machine in the room
like she was used to. LVN C stated when she started to clean Resident #1's wound she noticed there was
no trash bag in the room, that is a huge infection control issue . She also stated she should have had a bag
to place soiled dressing in. She said she should have had a clean field for wound care supplies and that
was double infection control problems, and a risk for cross contamination. LVN C also stated she did not
perform hand hygiene with glove changes because her hands were not visibly soiled. LVN C stated putting
the wipes with bowel movement in the unlined trash can, and touching the inside of clean dressing were all
infection control issues. LVN C stated there was no sanitizer machine in the room and that is why she did
not perform hand hygiene before she left Resident #2's room.
During a telephone interview on 11/25/24 at 10:58 AM, the DON stated gloves and a gown must be donned
before wound care for a resident on EBP to prevent transmitting anything to the resident or vice versa. She
