appropriate competencies and skills sets to provide nursing and related services to assure resident safety
and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each
resident, for one (Resident #1) of four residents reviewed for skin integrity.The facility failed to ensure on
11/27/2025, NA A failed to follow the facility's procedure when she observed Resident #1's left forearm with
3 brown and yellow skin irregularities. This failure could potentially negatively compromise a resident's
well-being by prolonging warranted skin assessments and monitoring. The findings included: Record review
of Resident #1's admission's record dated 11/28/2025 revealed Resident #1 was an [AGE] year-old female
who was initially admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #1 was admitted with multiple
diagnoses including severe protein calorie malnutrition, dementia (cognitive impairment), and surgical
aftercare following surgery on the digestive system. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated
[DATE] revealed Resident #1's BIMS score of 99- indicated Resident #1 was unable to complete the
interview and needed substantial/maximal assistance with ADLs. Resident #1 was not coded for any skin
impairment conditions. Record review of Resident #1's care plan revision date on 07/18/2025 revealed The
resident has the potential for pressure ulcer development. The resident will have intact skin, free of redness,
blisters or discoloration through review date. Follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of
skin breakdown. Incontinent care after each episode and apply moisture barrier. Inform the
resident/family/caregivers of any new area of skin breakdown. Notify nurse immediately of any new areas of
skin breakdown: Open area, Redness, Blisters, Bruises, discoloration noted during bath or daily care.
Record review of Resident #1's weekly Skin Assessments dated 11/10/2025, 11/18/2025 and 11/25/2025

10/29/2025-11/29/2025 revealed no documentation of NA A's 11/27/2025 observation. During an interview
and observation on 11/28/2025 at 1:47 p.m., observed Resident #1's left forearm and found 5 skin
irregularities on Resident #1 left forearm. The first 4 skin irregularities were clustered together on the top
part of Resident #1's left forearm, and each contained red discoloration and were roughly less than a penny
in size. The 5th skin irregularity appeared to be a discoloration which was also located on top of Resident
#1's left forearm but closer to Resident #1's wrist. The 5th discoloration appeared circular with dark purple
discoloration and appeared to be somewhat fresh looking. Resident #1 stated she did not know where the
bruises came from, but that no person had ever hit/hurt or scared her. Resident #1 stated the skin
irregularities did not hurt. Resident #1 did not appear to be in any distress nor was any indication of
malicious intent. During an interview on 11/28/2025 at 1:54 p.m., NA A stated she had observed roughly 3
skin irregularities on Resident #1's left forearm on 11/27/2025 prior to lunch, while she was assisting

stated while she inspected the skin she inquired if Resident #1 knew the origin of the discoloration of skin
irregularities, to which Resident #1 could not recall. NA A stated the 3 discolorations were brown and yellow
but could not determine circumference nor diameter of the irregularities, however stated they did not look
suspicious. NA A stated she did not notify the charge nurse, treatment nurse, ADONs, nor DON as the skin
irregularities were not suspicious and did not think it was that serious. NA A stated Resident #1 never
presented fearfull of staff nor residents. When NA A was asked if she should have notified the charge nurse
when she saw the skin irregularities, NA A reiterated the skin irregularities did not look suspicious and
therefore did not think it was serious and did not warrant any notification to the charge nurse. NA A did not
verbalize how her inaction to notify her chain of command could have affected Resident #1's well-being. NA
A stated she had attended the facility's change in condition in-service as part of her orientation and recalled
being educated that she is expected to notify her chain of command when she observes anything
abnormal, however NA A reiterated the skin irregularities were not suspicious, Resident #1 never presented
fearfully or scared of any person. During an interview on 11/29/2025 at 3:06 p.m., the DON stated she was
notified of Resident #1's skin irregularities on 11/28/2025 and immediately directed the treatment nurse to
perform a thorough head to toe assessment on Resident #1 and concluded the left arm skin irregularities
stemmed from Resident #1's wheelchair arm placement when Resident #1 was attempting to pass through
a doorway. The DON stated once NA A observed Resident #1's skin irregularities, she should have
immediately notified her charge nurse so that the charge nurse could accurately assess, document, and
investigate the origin of the skin irregularities. The DON stated Resident #1's well-being was not
compromised, and reiterated NA A should have notified the charge nurse once she saw something
abnormal to Resident #1 in congruence with the facility's procedures. The DON stated she had reeducated
NA A that her scope of practice does not entail conducting an assessment or determination, and
furthermore NA A's scope of practice is to notify immediately when she observes something abnormal. The
DON stated she conducted an impromptu one-to-one in-service with NA A and re-educated her that if she
was to notice anything abnormal on any resident, she is to immediately notify her chain of command, which
includes the charge nurse, ADON, or DON. The DON stated NA A will also be tasked with several on-line
training modules that will re-educate NA A on the different types of skin irregularities. Record review of the
CNA proficiency competency audit dated 08/22/2025 revealed CNA A was educated to report all changes
in condition promptly. Record review of the facility's C.N.A. Proficiency Audit procedure undated revealed
C.N.As are to report changes in condition promptly.

accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interview, the facility failed to maintain clinical records in accordance with accepted
professional standards of practice, that were complete and accurately documented, for one resident
(Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for skin assessments. The facility failed to ensure on 11/17/2025
around 9:00 p.m., LVN A failed to accurately document the description of three discolored dots on Resident
#1's left forearm as well as light brown/purple bruise on the top of Resident #1's right forearm. This failure
could place residents at risk of having incomplete and accurate records and not receiving appropriate
treatment and services. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's admission's record dated
11/28/2025 revealed Resident #1 was an [AGE] year-old female who was initially admitted on [DATE] and
readmitted on [DATE]. Resident #1 was admitted with multiple diagnoses including severe protein calorie
malnutrition, dementia (cognitive impairment), and surgical aftercare following surgery on the digestive
system. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1's BIMS score of
99- indicating Resident #1 was unable to complete the interview and needed substantial/maximal
assistance with ADLs. Resident #1 was not coded for any skin impairment conditions. Record review of
Resident #1's care plan revision date on 07/18/2025 revealed The resident has the potential for pressure
ulcer development. The resident will have intact skin, free of redness, blisters or discoloration through
review date. Follow facility policies/protocols for the prevention/treatment of skin breakdown. Incontinent
care after each episode and apply moisture barrier. Inform the resident/family/caregivers of any new area of
skin breakdown. Notify nurse immediately of any new areas of skin breakdown: Open area, Redness,
Blisters, Bruises, discoloration noted during bath or daily care. Record reviewed of Resident #1's weekly
Skin Assessments dated 11/10/2025, 11/18/2025 and 11/25/2025 revealed, there was no skin irregularities
noted. Record reviewed Resident #1's progress notes date ranges from 10/29/2025-11/29/2025 revealed
no documentation of LVN A's 11/17/2025 observation. During an interview on 11/28/2025 at 2:44 p.m., CNA
A stated while she was working on 11/17/2025 she entered Resident #1's room with LVN A and assisted
LVN A with redirecting Resident #1 as LVN A was attempting to provide enteral nutrition. CNA A stated
while she was redirecting Resident #1, she noticed Resident #1's right forearm had a yellowish-brown
bruise-like discoloration roughly 3inches in length and roughly 1inch in width. CNA A stated simultaneously
LVN A saw the discoloration as well and commenced an assessment on Resident #1's skin irregularity.
CNA A stated she did not notify any other nurse as LVN A was the charge nurse on 11/17/2025 and had
fulfilled her scope of practice. During an interview on 11/28/2025 at 3:22 p.m., LVN A stated while she was
working on 11/17/2025 she entered Resident #1's room with CNA A to perform enteral nutrition. LVN A
stated while she was with Resident #1, she noticed Resident #1 had light brownish/light purple bruise-like
discoloration on Resident #1's right forearm that was no more than the size of a quarter. LVN A stated she
additionally observed two unmeasurable little dots on Resident #1 left forearm. LVN A stated she followed
the facility's protocol and notified the DON of the skin irregularities but missed the documentation aspect of
the protocol. LVN A stated she should have documented her observable findings to ensure accurate
monitoring of the observed skin irregularities. LVN A stated she should have documented the findings to
monitor if the skin irregularities progressed to ensure the well-being was not compromised, but reiterated
the skin irregularities had resolved, but going forward she will be more intentional and document accurately
and in a timely manner. During an interview on 11/29/2025 at 3:06 p.m., the DON stated once LVN A
recognized the skin irregularities on Resident #1 on 11/17/2025 she should have documented the observed

findings as part of the facility's protocol. The DON stated the reason she should have documented the skin
assessment on 11/17/2025 was to ensure accurate monitoring of the skin irregularities to prevent any
further progression of any compromising skin integrity issue. The DON stated Resident #1's well-being was
not compromised as the skin irregularities had resolved with no evidence of any malice intent. The DON
stated the discoloration could have stemmed from when Resident #1 attempts to pass through doorways
with her wheelchair. The DON stated going forward, the facility has planned to conduct an as needed
in-service regarding documenting skin assessment. Record review of the facility's Skin Assessment
