**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure, based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional
standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan and the residents' choices for 2 of 9
residents (Residents #26 and #202) reviewed for quality of care.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to recognize and assess, Resident #26's scabbed skin injury to the left foot, prior to
Surveyor identification on 02/29/2024, resulting in a delay in treatment.
2. The facility failed to identify, evaluate and treat Resident #202's rash upon admission resulting in a delay
in treatment.
These failures could place residents at risk of pain, worsening of skin issues, delay in treatment, decline in
health and hospitalization.

health conditions. Body mass index is a screening tool that measures the ratio of height to weight),
hypertension (elevated blood pressure), cognitive decline (a reduction in one or more cognitive abilities
such as memory, awareness, judgment and mental acuity) and chronic pain (persistent pain lasting for
more than 3 months).
Record review of Resident #26's annual MDS, dated [DATE], reflected a BIMS score of 7 out of 15, which
indicated severe cognitive impairment. She had no impairment to both upper and lower extremities. She

Interview on 02/29/2024 at 2:20 PM, CNA L stated she had an in-service about one month ago on skin
care. CNA L stated she had not seen Resident #26's foot and did not know there was a wound. CNA L
stated she would report it to the nurse if she found it. She stated the risk of not reporting skin issues was
the wound could get worse.
Interview on 02/29/2024 at 4:07 PM, the DON stated CNAs were responsible to notify the charge nurse as
soon as possible when they noticed skin changes and the opportunities for CNAs to assess skin were:
during peri care, bathing or showering three times per week and during dressing and undressing the
residents. The DON stated the skin changes could be communicated by verbal means or the use of stop
and watch forms. The DON expected the CNAs to report open areas and obvious changes that may not
have been on the resident the day before. The DON stated skin changes should be reported because they
could get bad or worse and open wounds could get infected, deeper or worse. She stated the charge nurse,
unit manager and treatment nurses continued to communicate well and she conducted staff in-services
regarding notifying the treatment nurse no matter what the issue may be. The DON stated she did not know
why there was a wound to Resident #26's toe and did not know if the CNA would have even recognized it
as an issue to report. The DON stated the admitting nurse was responsible for the skin assessments upon
admit and the next day the treatment nurse would be responsible as well. The DON said she expected the
nurse conducting the skin assessment to make sure it was complete and some nurses were not so good
with making immediate decisions. She stated all skin assessments conducted should be a head-to-toe
evaluation and more detailed if needed to better identify any skin issues She stated the unit managers and
ADON were responsible to ensure the skin assessments were complete and accurate. The DON stated
skin issues would be communicated during morning meetings or during one-on-one nurse reporting. The
DON stated if skin issues were identified a day before then it would be brought to IDT meetings for
discussion, the MD and wound care physician would be notified. She said it would also be discussed during
care plan meetings, QAPI meetings along with weekly weight meetings. The DON stated she would want to
make sure the facility had what was needed to heal the skin issues.
Interview on 03/01/24 at 9:53 AM, CNA L stated Resident #26 refused to get out of bed when she offered.
CNA L stated the resident could reposition herself from side to side and could move around on her own.
CNA L stated Resident #26 likes to sleep a lot and was more awake later in the day.
Interview on 03/01/2024 at 12:35 PM, the WCD stated Resident #26's left toe looked more like a trauma,
maybe hit it on something and she did not have much feeling in the area. The WCD stated she was very
large all over and would have difficulty getting through the door, she was already in a large bed.
In an interview on 03/03/2024 at 9:38 AM, LVN U stated she started orientation on 2/27/2024 and was
assigned to Resident #26. LVN U stated she was still getting familiar with the residents, and was not aware
of Resident #26's wound. LVN U stated the areas on the body that were more susceptible to pressure
injures included the heels and buttocks. LVN U stated residents who were at higher risk of developing
pressure injuries were residents who were immobile and any resident who had a history of wounds. LVN U
stated closed wounds could be treated and if not identified then the risk to the residents would be
worsening of wounds. LVN U stated wound prevention would include off loading and repositioning. LVN U
stated all nursing staff were responsible to help prevent pressure injuries. LVN U stated she received
in-services which included wound care, repositioning, reporting and neglect on 03/02/2024 and in-services
were ongoing for her since 2/27/2024. LVN U stated she was responsible to ensure the aides repositioned
the residents and notified the nurses about any changes to the resident. LVN U stated communication took
place typically during morning clinicals, reports and walking rounds with the night nurse.

Interview on 03/03/2024 at 10:10 AM, Resident #26 stated her little toe bothered her some, it tingled and
she was not aware that she had a sore on her toe. Resident #26 stated she did not know how it got there.
Interview on 03/03/2024 at 11:45 AM, CNA V stated she worked with Resident #26 on 03/02/2024 and was
not aware of any wounds. CNA V stated the CNAs were responsible to report skin changes to the nurse as
they were the ones who would see the skin especially during bathing. CNA V stated some people had
different work ethics and all aides went to the same CNA school. CNA V stated some aides didn't do what
they were supposed to do. She was taught to report any skin issues right away. She stated residents more
prone to skin issues were those who stayed in bed all the time, those who did not turn every two hours,
independently. She said the areas more susceptible to pressure injuries would be the sacrum, under the
breasts and the heels. She said the risks for the residents if they developed pressure injuries and they were
not identified early would be they could get worse and become full blown wounds. She said she had training
on skin assessments two weeks ago. She said she took care of the residents with passion and rounds two
to three times a day, depending on their needs.
In an interview on 03/03/2024 at 10:20 AM revealed CNA W, was assigned to Resident #26 and was
unaware of the area on the left toe. CNA W stated not reporting wounds to the nurse or the treatment nurse
was probably d/t nursing not paying attention. CNA W stated wounds could occur from not turning, or
repositioning, from not getting up out of bed or not using pillows for propping. CNA W said she had training
on skin assessments and was taught to check the skin and if she saw something new, she would report it to
the nurse and if the nurse did not take care of it she would tell the ADON or the DON. She stated she
looked at residents' skin during brief changes, dressing, undressing and taking socks off.
2. Record review of Resident #202's face sheet, dated 3/5/2024, reflected a [AGE] year-old male who was

lungs caused by a virus), type 2 diabetes mellitus (condition results from insufficient production of insulin,
causing high blood sugar), immunodeficiency (inability to produce antibodies to fight infection) due to drugs,
respiratory failure (condition that affects breathing function or the lungs themselves and can result in failure
of the lungs to function properly), COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, common, preventable
and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms like progressive
breathlessness and cough), myasthenia gravis (neuromuscular disorder that leads to weakness of skeletal
muscles), muscle wasting and atrophy (loss of muscle leading to its shrinking and weakening), muscle
weakness, cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with any aspect of communication that is affected by
disruption of cognition), dementia (group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with
daily life), insomnia (trouble falling and/or staying asleep), chronic pain syndrome (persistent or intermittent
pain that last for more than 3 months), and traumatic brain injury (injury to the brain caused by an external
force such as a violent blow to the head, resulting in loss of consciousness, memory loss, dizziness, and
confusion, and in some cases leading to long-term health effects, including motor and sensory problems,
cognitive and behavioral dysfunction, and dementia).
Record review of Resident #202's admission MDS, dated [DATE], with an ARD of 3/1/2024, reflected a

member said the facility informed her of the importance of repositioning for Resident #202. Resident #202's
family member said Resident #202 was most comfortable on his back.
Interview on 3/5/2024 at 1:23 PM with the TN, she said she could not recall who informed her of Resident
#202's redness in the brief area. The TN said she recalled becoming aware of the redness on 3/1/2024
when she was completing rounds with the WCD . The TN said she forgot to put in the order for Resident
#202's order for Nystatin cream because she had many other duties when the physician created the orders.
The TN said the order was prescribed by the WCD on 3/1/2024 at approximately 3:30 PM. The TN said she
obtained Resident #202's Nystatin cream from the facility's electronic medication dispensation system. The
TN said she did not know the electronic medication dispensation system had Nystatin cream stocked. The
TN said she provided Nystatin powder to Resident #202's red areas on 3/4/2024. The TN said she had not
put in Resident #202's Nystatin order on 3/1/2024 at any time. The TN said she typically did not treat
rashes, but the floor nurses did. The TN said she would check a rash if requested, and that was what
occurred on 3/1/2024 with Resident #202.
Interview on 3/5/2024 at 3:23 PM, the DON said she did not know when Resident #202's Nystatin was
ordered and did not know why the order was not put in the system by the nurse. She said the pharmacy
would not be alerted about the need for the medication until the order was put into the system. She said
she was notified on Friday 3/1/2024 when the WCD was in the building that the resident had redness with
possible yeast but did not know what the treatment plan was.
In a telephone Interview on 03/06/2024 at 2:37PM, CNA DD stated Resident #202's skin on 03/06/2024 at
7:15AM looked the same as it did at 03/06/2024 at 12:00PM when the Corporate RN applied the Nystatin
cream. CNA DD stated the resident's skin was pinkish/red with purple blotches on the brief area and that
033/06/2024 was the first time she had worked with Resident #202. CNA DD stated she did not notify the
nurse about the condition of Resident #202's skin and thought someone already knew about it because
there was clear cream on the skin. CNA DD stated if there was no cream on the skin then she would have
notified her nurse.
In an interview on 03/07/2024 at 1:55 PM, the Administrator stated it was the responsibility of the nurses
and CNAs to check resident skin and for the CNA to report changes to the charge nurse. The Administrator
stated, now it had been included that the DON would be notified as well. The Administrator stated it
appears someone may not have seen the wounds prior to 2/29/2024 when they were identified and that it
was not for lack of checking. The Administrator stated maybe when the skin was checked, the wound/skin
issues were easier to identify. The Administrator stated the staff were working

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident with pressure ulcers received necessary
treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote healing, prevent
infection and prevent new ulcers from developing for six of 9 residents (Resident #31, #66, #90, #37, #72
and #11) reviewed for pressure sores.
Residents Affected - Some
-The facility failed to ensure Resident #31 received wound care treatment for 38 days, did not evaluate, and
obtain orders for wound care upon admission when the resident was noted to have an open wound to the
buttocks. The right heel had a pressure ulcer that was not identified for further preventative treatment by the
discharging hospital, and deteriated after admission - this wound was unavoidable per Wound Care MD.
-The facility failed to ensure Residents #66's re-opened sacrum ulcer, #90's stage 4 ulcer to the foot, #37's
stage 3 (full thickness tissue loss, open area) sacrum ulcer, #72's DTI (pressure ulcer as a [NAME] area
with intack skin) to the left heel, and #11's DTI to the left heel were assessed, monitored, and treated.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 03/01/2024 at 3:00 PM. While the IJ was removed
on 03/06/2024 at 3:25 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of pattern with the potential
for more than minimal harm, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective
systems.
This failure could place residents at risk for a delay in treatment, pain, a decline in health, hospitalization or
a significant decline in health.
Findings include:
Resident #31
Record review of Resident #31's face sheet, dated 2/29/2024, reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included diabetes mellitus (condition results from
insufficient production of insulin, causing high blood sugar), hypertension (elevated blood pressure),
malnutrition (condition that results from lack of sufficient nutrients in the body), dementia (group of
symptoms that affects memory, thinking and interferes with daily life), thyroid disease (a medical condition
that keeps the thyroid from making the right amount of hormones), need for assistance with personal care,
sepsis (infection of the blood stream), obesity (condition characterized by abnormal or excessive fat
accumulation) due to excess calories, Alzheimer's Disease (type of brain disorder that causes problems
with memory, thinking and behavior), chronic kidney disease stage 3 (condition characterized by a gradual
loss of kidney function) and osteoarthritis (long term degenerative joint condition).
Record review of Resident #31's admission MDS, dated [DATE], with an ARD of 1/24/2024, reflected a
BIMS score of 5, which indicated significant cognitive impairment. She had no impairment of either her
upper or lower extremities, and she used a wheelchair for mobility. Resident #31 required assistance or was
totally dependent on staff for all ADL's except eating. She was always incontinent of bowel and bladder.
Section M of the MDS revealed she had no pressure injuries but was at risk of developing pressure injuries.

Record review of Resident #31's notes revealed a clinically unavoidable skin condition pressure ulcer to the
right heel, dated 2/28/2024, and signed by TN, and the physician.
Record review of Resident #31's active physician's orders report, dated 2/29/2024, reflected an order,
dated 2/26/2024, related to an unstageable DTI of the right heel. The order called for the wound base to be

gauze roll.
Record review of Resident #31's active physician's orders report, dated 2/29/2024, reflected an order,
dated 2/29/2024, related to an unstageable DTI of the left heel. The order called for the wound base to be
cleansed with normal saline, patted dry, betadine applied, and covered with an antibacterial pad and Kerlix

Record review of Resident #31's initial wound evaluation and management summary reflected the resident
was seen by the WCD on 3/1/2024. The resident had arterial wounds of the right and left heel.
Interview on 2/28/2024 at 9:10 AM, the TN said she was first notified of Resident #31's right heel wound on
2/26/2024 and that was when wound care treatment began.
During wound care observation and interview on 2/29/2024 at 11:00 AM, Resident #31 had soft boots to
both feet and both feet were propped with pillows. The TN removed the boots. The right heel had a dressing
wrapped with gauze. The TN removed the dressing. The heel had thick, dark, black, dry scab, approximately
2-3 inches in length covering the entire right heel. When the betadine-soaked dressing was removed there
was a foul odor. There was no drainage noted. The surrounding skin was pink with large patches of dry
flaky skin. The TN completed wound care to the right heel. The resident winced during wound care. The TN
re-applied the soft boots and did not inspect the left heel until the State Surveyor questioned the
discoloration to the outer edge of the left heel. The left heel had thick dry flaky skin and large dark purple
areas. The skin to the left heel was intact. Resident #31 said she did not like to be turned d/t fear of falling
and the staff would turn her slightly as much as she could tolerate then she stayed in the same position on
her back most of the time. The TN said the left heel was clear on 2/26/24 and on 2/28/24. The TN stated
Resident #31 was up in the wheelchair yesterday (2/28/2024) which could contribute to the discoloration.
The TN said the pressure ulcer would have happened d/t not repositioning and offloading the feet. The TN
said she would notify the MD to get a doppler study (non-invasive test to measure blood flow). The TN said
the wound could develop rapidly for diabetic residents' d/t poor blood flow.
Observation on 3/4/2024 at 10:57 AM revealed Resident #31 was admitted to a local hospital and was
receiving care.
Interview on 2/29/2024 at 12:15 PM, LVN HH said she only recently learned of Resident #31's wounds and
when she did the skin assessment on 2/21/2024 there were no skin wounds. LVN HH assumed the wounds
to Resident #31 were not new and the treatment nurse was taking care of it.

Attempted interview on 2/29/2024 at 12:35 PM with Resident #31's RP was unsuccessful. No call back was
received by the end of the Survey.
Interview on 03/01/2024 at 9:53 AM, CNA L said she was aware Resident #31 would be receiving wound
care on 2/29/2024 so she left her in bed and the resident had skin irritation to the buttocks d/t runny stools.
CNA L said she applied skin barrier to the redness on the buttocks but there were no open wounds. CNA L
said she rounded on Resident #31 by 10:30 AM on 2/29/24 and the resident was sitting up in bed on her
bottom, she then changed her brief and left her sitting up in bed with a wedge under the left arm. CNA said
after lunch she changed her brief and sat her back up on her bottom in bed. CNA L said the reason for
repositioning was to prevent bedsores and stiffness would be a risk to the resident. CNA L said the resident
refused repositioning off her back.
Interview on 03/01/2024 at 12:35 PM, the WCD said this was the first time he had been to the facility to see
any of the residents. The WCD said eschar (a collection of dry, dead tissue within a wound, commonly seen
with pressure ulcers) could develop in 24 hours depending on the resident's status. The WCD said it first
began as an open wound, then drainage occurred, then slough (yellow tissue) and scarred over just like a
regular cut would scab over. The WCD said Resident #31's whole foot was in jeopardy and it might be an
arterial injury d/t her pain and was more of a circulatory type of wound. The WCD said failure to reposition
the resident may not have contributed to the wound development. The WCD said she may need to go to the
ER and he would be speaking with the NP. The WCD said it would be hard to say how fast the wound could
get worse and once an arterial wound clotted it could be rapid. The WCD said the left foot was also in
jeopardy.
Interview on 03/01/24 at 2:30 PM, LVN C said he may have assessed Resident #31's skin when she first
admitted but could not recall what the skin looked like. LVN C said he worked regularly on the 100 Hall and
Resident #31 lived in the 200 Hall. LVN C said when he performed skin assessments, he would first ask the
CNAs on shower days if a resident had any changes to the skin. He said he would follow up after the
shower and conduct a head-to-toe assessment. He said he looked at the back of the head, back of the
body, stomach, under female breasts, groin, legs, checked toes and heels. LVN C said it was important to
catch skin changes early, unfortunately changes could be missed and when that happened the facility
would be proactive and address appropriately. LVN C said it was good to have extra eyes on any changes
and communication was important.
In a telephone interview on 03/05/24 at 1:00 PM, LVN EE saidshe was the admitting nurse and did not
notify the MD of Resident #31's open wound to the buttocks and open wound to the right heel. LVN EE said
normally she would make a note of it and report to Tx nurse, but it was on the 24-hour report. LVN EE said
she thought the wound care nurse would see the 24-hour report and would follow up with all new
Admissions and their wounds. LVN EE said she communicated the report to the oncoming shift but could
not remember who the report was given to. LVN EE said she probably should have verified her
observations of the wounds with another nurse d/t she cannot stage wounds.
Interview on 3/4/2024 at 11:09 AM the Hospital RN P said Resident #31 was admitted to the hospital for a
pressure injury of the right heel skin. Hospital RN P stated Resident #31 received wound care, had blood
labs drawn, was receiving electrolyte replacement therapy and the nephrology department was consulted
d/t the resident's low potassium levels. Hospital RN P said the podiatry department reported the resident
would need surgical care of the pressure wound. Hospital RN P said the pressure wound to the right heel
was unstageable as it was covered with necrotic (dead) tissue. Hospital RN P said Resident #31 had a
small sacral pressure wound as well. Hospital RN P said the heel wound could have occurred quickly if it
was due to arterial injury, but in her opinion the injury was likely

present for between one and two months if there was no arterial injury. Hospital RN P said Resident #31's
heel wound did not have any infection which would lead to an amputation, but lab results were still pending.
Hospital RN P said if the labs indicated a serious infection it could lead to an amputation of the foot.
Interview on 03/05/2024 at 1:23 PM, the TN said the 24-hour report was not too familiar with it and was not
something she reviewed daily. The TN said new admits were discussed with her during daily nurse
meetings and when stop and watch tools (an early warning communication tool) were used for change in
condition. The TN said if she was in the building, she would do the skin assessments for the new admits
and if the skin assessments were already completed, she would trust the nurse would tell her if there were
any areas of concern. The TN ssaid during evening admits the charge nurse would do the skin
assessments. The TN said on 2/26/2024 the Agency Nurse notified her of Resident #31's right heel, she did
not remember the name of the nurse. The TN stated the resident's left heel was pink and soft and she
conducted a focused assessment on the heels only. The TN said no one notified her of any skin issues to
the sacral or buttocks. The TN stated, had she been notified upon Resident #31's admission of the skin
issues to the right heel she would have assessed it, notified the MD and RP then put a treatment plan in
place. The TN said if there were skin issues the nursing staff should have made her aware. The TN said
ultimately, she was responsible to address the wounds.
Interview on 03/05/2024 at 3:00 PM, the DON said she was not the DON when Resident #31 was admitted
on [DATE] and therefore was not aware of the wounds if they were on the 24-hour report. The DON said the
24-hour report would be reviewed during morning meetings and admissions, readmissions and discharges
would be reviewed. The DON said she began as acting DON on 01/18/2024 and was in and out of the
building periodically. The DON said when a wound was identified she expected the nurse would call the
doctor, document, notify the treatment nurse and the RP. The DON expected it would be written on the
24-hour report and reviewed by the treatment nurse. The DON said she probably did attend the morning
meeting but did not recall hearing about Resident #31's wounds. The DON said the expectation would be to
address the wounds at the time of the meeting and if the nurse was unsure of the presentation of the skin
that another nurse would be consulted.
Interview on 03/06/2024 at 11:10 AM, the MD said she was notified of Resident #31's wounds to the heels
by TN on 2/26/2024 and not before that date.
Record review of Resident #31's hospital clinical records reflected she was admitted on [DATE] and the
chief complaint was for wound check at the request of the physician for concern about venous ulcers to
bilateral heels. The clinical records included pressure injury limited to skin breakdown on the left lower
buttocks and on the right lower buttocks and based on clinical presentation Resident #31 was at risk for
PAD (peripheral artery disease), pressure wounds, osteomyelitis (infection of the bone,) and nutritional
deficits.
The clinical records read in part: .External Record Review .inpatient record from another hospital admission
on [DATE]. It appears the patient was discharged with pressure wound to right heel. It appears this has
worsened and become bilateral since discharge to rehabilitation facility . The Emergency Department
Clinical Summary indicated the final diagnoses was: pressure injury of skin of right heel, pressure injury of
skin of left heel, skin ulcer of buttock. The pressure injury to the dorsal right of the foot was purple, with
moderate serous drainage, blistered and the patient stated both of my feet are bothering me the patient
was complaining of pain to both feet and there was blood filled blister present on the left heel.

sacrum wound. Skin assessment, dated 2/21/24, reflected redness to sacrum was present. Skin
assessment, dated 2/23/24, noted redness to the sacrum and treatment was in place.
Observation and interview on 2/27/2024 at 10:05 AM revealed Resident #66 was in bed lying on her back
with the HOB elevated. She stated she preferred to stay in her room.
Observation on 2/28/2024 at 3:15 PM revealed Resident #66 was in bed lying on her back with the HOB

Observation and interview on 2/28/2024 at 3:30 PM revealed Resident #66 was in bed sitting up with the
HOB elevated. She stated she did not want to get up today.
Observation on 2/28/2024 at 4:04 PM revealed Resident #66 was lying in bed on her back.
Observation on 03/01/2024 at 8:42 AM revealed Resident #66 was lying on her right side propped with a
pillow with the HOB slightly elevated.
Observation and interview on 2/29/2024 at 1:45 PM during skin assessment rounds with the TN revealed
Resident #66 was lying in bed on her back with the HOB elevated, there were no pillows under her back.
Resident #66 had a small open area on the sacrum. There was no redness or drainage noted. The TN
cleansed the area and applied Alginate and a dry dressing. Resident #66 stated she was not turned
throughout the day then she said sometimes they did turn her onto her sides. The TN stated this was the
first time she saw the sacral wound and it was open. The TN stated it was time to in-service the CNAs on
reporting skin changes. The TN stated the nursing staff should have reported this to her. The TN left the
room, returned, and stated she spoke with CNA L. The TN stated CNA L told her she was aware of the
sacral wound and did not report it to TN d/t she was putting zinc ointment on it.
Interview on 2/29/2024 at 2:20 PM, CNA L said Resident #66 had the spot on her bottom for a while, since
last week maybe. CNA L saidshe would apply cream from the zinc packets to the area. When asked who
gave her the zinc packets and whether she applied it to the open wound, CNA L stated she put it on the
open wound to heal the wound. When asked why she did not report the wound to the nurse, she stated the
resident would tell her to just put the cream on it.
Interview on 2/29/2024 at 4:07 PM, the DON said Resident #66 would refuse to turn. When asked why a
CNA would apply cream onto an open wound, the DON stated that was the best they knew, and they were
instructed to check for redness and to use skin barrier cream. The DON said she did not know why CNA L
did not notify the nurse. The DON said if the cream was not appropriate for the wound, then it would not
heal or help the open area depending on the state and nature of the resident. The DON said CNAs were
responsible to notify the charge nurse as soon as possible when they noticed skin changes and the
opportunities for CNAs to assess skin were: during peri care, bathing or showering three times per week
and during dressing and undressing the residents. The DON said the skin changes could be communicated
by verbal means or the use of stop and watch forms. The DON expected the CNAs to report open areas
and obvious changes that may not have been on the resident the day before. The DON said skin changes
should be reported because they could get bad or worse and open wounds could get infected, deeper or
worse. She said the charge nurse, unit manager and treatment nurses continued to communicate well and
she conducted staff in-services regarding notifying the treatment nurse no matter what the issue may be.
The DON said she did not know why there was a wound to Resident #66's toe and did not know if the CNA
would have recognized it as an issue to report. The DON said the admitting nurse was responsible for the
skin assessments upon admit and the next day the treatment nurse would

be responsible as well. The DON said she expected the nurse conducting the skin assessment to make
sure it was complete and some nurses were not so good with making immediate decisions. She said the
skin assessment should be a head-to-toe evaluation and more detailed if needed to better identify any skin
issues. She said the unit managers and ADON were responsible to ensure the skin assessments were
complete and accurate. The DON said skin issues would be communicated during morning meetings or
during one-on-one nurse reporting. The DON said if skin issues were identified a day before then it would
be brought to the IDT meetings for discussion, the MD and wound care physician would be notified. She
said it would also be discussed during care plan meetings, QAPI meetings along with weekly weight
meetings. The DON said she would want to make sure the facility had what was needed to heal the skin
issues.
Interview on 03/01/2024 at 8:59 AM, LVN S said she expected CNAs to reposition residents every 2 hours
to prevent sores and to apply barrier cream during incontinent care. LVN S said it was the CNAs and nurses
responsibility to do skin assessments and CNAs had the opportunity to see skin during showers/baths and
brief changes. LVN S said she expects the CNAs to notify the nurse of any skin changes.
Interview on 3/01/2024 at 9:53AM, CNA L said Resident #66 stays in bed by her choice, and sometimes
she would scream. CNA L said she changed the resident's position about 3 times during her shift and said
she did this for Resident #66 yesterday (2/29/2024). CNA L said she left Resident #66 sitting up in bed at
the resident's request. CNA L said when the red spot on Resident #66's sacrum started to look open about
one week ago, she reported it to evening CNA F. CNA L said she thought CNA F reported it to the nurse,
but she did not. CNA L said she now realized she reported it to the wrong person.
Observation and interview on 03/01/2024 at 11:44 AM, with the TN and the WCD, revealed Resident #66
had a PU to her coccyx. There was a lot of redness surrounding the open area, but there was only a small
open area. Per the WCD, it was a stage 3 PU (full thickness, open wound) to her coccyx that was 1cm
x0.5cm x0.1cm and due to it having some drainage he was going to treat it with collagen and alginate. He
said she had a PU there before and it re-opened.
Interview on 03/01/2024 at 12:35 PM, the WCD said the zinc cream would not have damaged Resident
#66's wound but it would not have helped it either. The WCD said not repositioning and not turning the
resident could cause pressure ulcers to the sacrum.
Interview on 03/03/2024 at 9:38 AM, LVN U saidshe started orientation on 2/27/2024 and was assigned to
residents which included Resident #66. LVN U said she was still getting familiar with the residents and did
not know all the details about Resident #66's wound. LVN U said the areas on the body that were more
susceptible to pressure injures included the heels and buttocks. LVN U said residents who were at higher
risk of developing pressure injuries were residents who were immobile and any time a resident had a
history of wounds. LVN U said closed wounds could be treated and if not identified then the risk to the
residents would be worsening of wounds. LVN U said, in general, wound prevention would include off
loading and repositioning. LVN U said all nursing staff were responsible to help prevent pressure injuries.
LVN U said she received in-services which included wound care, repositioning, reporting and neglect on
03/02/2024 and in-services were ongoing for her since 2/27/2024. LVN U said she was responsible to
ensure the aides repositioned the residents and notified the nurses about any changes to the resident. LVN
U said the aides could use barrier creams and the nurses were responsible to administer treatments as
ordered by the physician. LVN U said communication took place typically during morning clinicals, reports
and walking rounds with the night nurse.

Interview on 03/03/2024 at 11:45 AM, CNA V said Resident #66 did not have skin issues or wounds weeks
ago. CNA V said the CNAs were responsible to report skin changes to the nurse as they were the ones who
would see the skin especially during bathing. CNA V said some people just had different work ethics and all
aides went to the same CNA school. CNA V said some aides just didn't do what they were supposed to do.
Interview on 03/03/2024 at 10:20 AM, CNA W, was assigned to Resident #66 and stated the resident had a
dressing over the sacrum today. CNA W said not reporting wounds to the nurse or the treatment nurse was
probably d/t nursing not paying attention. CNA W said wounds could occur from not turning, or
repositioning, from not getting up out of bed or not using pillows for propping.
Interview on 03/03/2024 at 2:42 PM, CNA F said she did work with Resident #66 sometime last week but
did not remember the exact date. CNA F stated Resident #66 had the red area to the sacrum from the time
she was first admitted . CNA F said sometime during the week of 2/19/2024 to 2/23/2024, she noticed a
small area on the sacrum that was not too open and reported it to an Agency Nurse. CNA F said she did
not remember the Agency Nurse's name. CNA F said she recalled talking to CNA L about different things

The MDS revealed Resident #53 was substantial/maximal assistant with rolling left and right, sit to lying,
and lying to sitting on side of bed. She was dependent with chair/bed to chair transfer, and tub/shower
transfers. Resident #53 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder and was not on a toileting program.
The MDS indicated the resident was at risk of developing pressure ulcers/injuries but did not have any that
were unhealed at that time.
Residents Affected - Some
Record review of Resident #53's medical record revealed a form for B&B-Bladder Documentation for the
past 30 days. On 2/29/24 at 7:21am it was documented that Resident #53 was incontinent of urine by CNA
M.
In an observation on 2/29/24 at 8:52am Resident #53 was sitting up in her wheelchair in her room. The
room smelled strongly of urine.
In an interview with CNA M on 2/29/24 at 10:07am, she said she worked with Resident #53. She said she
arrived at the facility at 6:30am and started making rounds. She then started changing everyone,
performing showers, and getting everyone up for breakfast. Then she said she checked/changed residents
again. She said she would then give more showers, took a break at 10am, checked again, went to lunch,
and more rounds. She said since Resident #53 was in a wheelchair she had to get her into a Hoyer lift with
a teammate and put her into bed to check/change her and then put her back into the wheelchair with the
Hoyer lift. She said she had not changed Resident #53 yet that morning because she had not gotten to her
yet and the last time she was changed was whenever the night shift changed her.

going into the resident's rooms during shift change and asking the resident's how they were, checking for
odors and changing them if they needed it.

rate was 53. She said she never saw the heart rate parameter and thought it only applied to Metoprolol.
She said the MD put the parameter in, but she did not know why. She said when administering medications,
she checked the vital signs and verified that the blood pressure was within the specified parameters.
Interview on 2/29/24 at 2:57 p.m. the DON said Resident #57's Carvedilol should have been held because it
was a beta blocker and would slow down the heart rate. She said the instructions for when to hold the
medication were on the physician orders and the MAR. She said MA B might have been focused on holding
the medication if the systolic blood pressure was less than 110.
Resident #11

the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnosis included type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and Alzheimer's

Humalog Kwik pen to Resident #11.
Interview on 2/28/24 at 8:10 a.m. with LVN BB, she said she was supposed to catch the resident before
meals because the blood sugar may be high, and the insulin would bring it down. She said after a meal the

am and 8:30 am. She said administering the insulin at mealtime was sufficient and the resident had not
finished eating.

when the insulin should be administered but it would be something the facility would discuss with Quality
Monitoring.
