Findings:
A review of Resident 2's Record of Admission,
indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the
facility on 1/11/2017. Resident 2's diagnoses
included: pressure ulcer of the sacro-coccyx
(lower end of the spine) region, muscle
weakness, paraplegia (paralysis of the lower
body), and unspecified cirrhosis of the liver
(condition in which liver does not function
properly due to long-term damage).
A review of Resident 2's Nursing Admission
Assessment dated 1/11/2017 indicated
Resident 2 had the following pressure ulcers
(Pressure ulcer stages (National Pressure
Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP)) include: Stage
I-presents as intact skin with non-blanchable
redness (redness does not go away when
pressure is relieved) of a localized area, usually
over a bony prominence.) Stage IIcharacterized by partial-thickness loss of
dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer.
Stage III-characterized by a full-thickness
tissue loss. Fat under the skin may be visible
but bone, tendon, or muscle is not exposed.
Stage IV-presents with full-thickness tissue loss
with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle
exposed.)

right heel
2. Sacro-coccyx- Stage IV pressure ulcer

not observe any discoloration on Residents 2's
right heel and she would re-assess Resident 2.
On 4/6/17, at 3:40 p.m., an observation and
concurrent interview was conducted with the
DON at Resident 2's bedside. The DON
confirmed Resident 2's heels were resting
directly on the mattress. The DON stated
Resident 2's right heel had discoloration and an
open skin area The DON also stated Resident
2 was contracted (chronic loss of joint
movement) on both lower extremities and both
heels had to be offloaded (kept off the
mattress, no pressure to the heels). The DON
asked Resident 2 if there was pain on his right
heel and Resident 2 responded "it is tender to
the touch."
On 4/6/17, at 4:00 p.m., an interview was
conducted with CNA 2. CNA 2 stated the
facility used a turning clock to remind staff to
reposition the residents every 2 hours. CNA 2
also stated that residents who had pressure
ulcers to their heels, the heels need to be
elevated off the mattress.
On 4/11/17 a review of Resident 2's clinical
record indicated that there was no
documentation of the following:
1. Resident 2's right heel pressure ulcer had
been assessed,
2. Resident 2's physician had been notified of
the new right heel pressure ulcer.
3. Resident 2's right heel pressure ulcer

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to provide the
necessary treatment and services, consistent
with professional standards of practice, to
prevent new pressure ulcers (localized injury to
the skin and underlying tissue caused from a
prolonged pressure to the skin, which
decreases blood flow into the area) from
developing for one of three sample residents
(Resident 2) with pressure ulcers.
The facility failed to:
1. Ensure Resident 2's right heel pressure ulcer
did not redevelop.
2. Implement Resident 2's plan of care to float
the resident's right heel with a pillow when in
bed.
3. Ensure Resident 2's right heel was not
directly in contact with the mattress or any
pillows.
4. Inform Resident 2's physician that Resident
2's right heel pressure ulcer had redeveloped
and did not provide any treatment to the right
heel pressure ulcer for 5 days.
These deficient practices led to Resident 2 to
redevelop a pressure ulcer to the right heel.
