Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility to develop a care plan for 1
of 15 sampled residents (Resident 1). Resident
1 had a history of refusing the nasal cannula
(NC, tubing used for oxygen delivery) padding
behind her ears. This deficiency resulted with
Resident 1 not receiving appropriate
interventions to prevent skin breakdown.
Findings:
A review of the face sheet indicated Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on 11/16/15 with
diagnoses that included: pneumonia (infection
that inflames the air sacks in the lungs), atrial
fibrillation (two upper chambers of the heart
beat chaotic and irregular), hypertension,
anxiety disorder, and major depressive
disorder.
On 4/27/17 at 9:40 p.m., an interview was
conducted with Resident 1's Responsible Party
(RP). She stated that the staff had a difficult
time with Resident 1 because she refused the
NC padding behind her ears. RP stated that the
staff tried placing gauze behind the ears and
Resident 1 refused.
On 4/28/17 at 7:52 a.m., an interview was
conducted with Director of Nursing (DON).
DON was asked about if a care plan was
developed for Resident 1's behavior of refusing
the NC padding. She stated, "I guess I trusted
the staff and their judgement." DON stated that
this behavior should have been care planned
by the staff because the resident was refusing
care and no interventions were developed, this
could result with a poor patient outcome. DON
stated that even when a resident refuses care,
the facility had to provide care and was
responsible for the well-being of the residents.

For Resident 1, the facility failed to:
a. Implement the physician's order to place the
nasal cannula (NC, tubing used to deliver
oxygen via nostrils) paddings to the back of
Resident 1's ears to provide pressure relief to
the area.
b. Develop a care plan for when Resident 1
refuses to wear the NC padding and provide
alternative interventions to provide pressure
relief to the ear.
c. Document skin integrity checks to the back
of the ears on a daily basis to identify any skin
damage to be addressed.
d. Accurately assess a wound as a pressure
sore by the Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN
1), Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1), and Treatment
Nurse (TN 1) to provide treatment and
services.
e. Notification to Resident 1's physician of the

On 4/27/17, at 9:43 p.m., Resident 1 stated her
right ear hurt whenever someone pulled the NC
tubing.
On 4/27/17, at 10:02 p.m., an interview was
conducted with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1
(LVN 1). LVN 1 was caring for Resident 1 and
stated another of her residents had a pressure
ulcer.
During a subsequent observation of Resident
1, on 4/27/17, at 11:09 p.m., the NC had
padding. The function of the padding is to help
prevent local skin damage cause by the
pressure of the tubing.
On 4/27/17, at 11:10 p.m., LVN 1 was asked if
she had placed the padding of Resident 1's NC
behind the ears and stated, "Yes." LVN 1 was
asked if she assessed the back of the right ear
and she stated "Yes, it's just red." LVN 1 stated
Resident 1 always refused placement of the
NC padding to the back of her ears and staff
had tried to wrap the tubing with gauze a few
times.

On 4/27/17, at 11:15 p.m., a second
observation was conducted of Resident 1's
right ear; LVN 1, RN 1, and Surveyor 2 were
present. Resident 1 was completely turned
toward the left side and a flashlight was used
during the assessment. Resident 1's NC was
removed and the back of her ear had an open
wound (the length correlated with the location
of the NC), redness around the wound and
redness directly behind the ear with a mild
amount of purulent (light yellow) drainage
present, and swelling to the back of the ear.
During an interview on 4/27/17, at 11:16 p.m.,
RN 1 stated Resident 1's back of the ear had
yellow drainage, redness, swelling, and the
skin was open.
A review of the physician's order dated 4/27/17,
at 11:40 p.m., indicated to observe the back of
the right ear on a daily basis and cleansed with
normal saline (sterile water) or wound cleaner
with the application of hydrogen gel (gel used
for wounds).
A review of LVN 1's notes dated 4/28/17, at
12:40 a.m., indicated "resident complained of
pain in right ear noted with redness." There
was no documentation of the drainage and
open wound.
On 4/28/17, at 7:52 a.m., an interview was
conducted with the director of nursing (DON).
The DON stated the Resident 1 had refused to
wear the NC paddings and this behavior was
not care planned. The DON stated the staff
should develop a care plan for when a resident
resist care because if no interventions are
developed it can result in a poor resident
outcome.

A review of TN 1's notes dated 4/28/17,
indicated the back of the ear was red
measuring 1 cm in length, 0.2 cm in width, and
0.3 cm in depth. The skin issue type was
documented as an "Abrasion/irritation-minor
(an injury caused by something that rubs or
scrapes against the skin; a superficial damage
to the skin)."
According to the National Pressure Ulcer
Advisory Panel (NPUAP) dated 2/23/15,
indicated that Medically Related Pressure
Ulcers are "pressure ulcers that result from the
use of devices designed and applied for
diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The
resultant pressure ulcer generally closely
conforms to the pattern or shape of the device."
The number one locations where these
pressure ulcers occur are: head, neck, face,
and ears. Oxygen delivery via nasal cannula is
pressure ulcers waiting to happen. The
recommendations for assessment of skin and
medical devices "Inspect skin and under
medical device at least twice daily ideally more
frequently." The general preventive care "View
skin under devices each shift, lift the device
and reposition, use skin protectant. The
strategies for pressure ulcer prevention for the
use of oxygen tubing "watch ears, move hair
[and] use tubing protectors."

On 4/29/17, at 6:10 a.m., an interview was
conducted with RN 1. RN 1 stated LVN 1
notified the physician of Resident 1's condition
and obtained an order for the treatment without
providing the physician the actual condition of
Resident 1. The actual condition of Resident 1
was not provided to the physician due to RN 1
not endorsing or documenting her assessment
of Resident 1's ear. RN 1 further stated the
yellow drainage observed on Resident 1's ear
was A & D ointment placed by RN 2. The
information provided by RN 1 about the A
& D ointment application was not
consistent with the time provided by RN 2 of
when she applied the A&D ointment.
On 4/29/17, at 6:58 a.m., an interview was
conducted with LVN 2. LVN 2 stated the facility
practice was when residents require the use of
a NC for oxygen delivery a gray pad is place to
the tubbing behind the ears. The purpose of the
padding to the back of the ears is to prevent
redness and sores. LVN 2 stated that the NC
could cut the skin and cause pressure sores.
The refusal of NC padding by a resident,
places them at greater risk for pressure sores,
they are to receive education and a care plan
should be develop. LVN 2 stated residents who
refuse the paddings to the back of the ears
should be checked every day.
b. A review of the face sheet indicated
Resident 2 was admitted on 4/10/17 with
diagnoses that included: artificial hip joint,
difficulty walking, and cardiac arrhythmia
(abnormal heart beat).
A review of the physician's order dated 4/10/17
for Resident 2, indicated oxygen to be
administered at 2 liters by nasal cannula at a
continuous rate for shortness of breath. In

The facility must train all employees in
emergency procedures when they begin to
work in the facility; periodically review the
procedures with existing staff; and carry out
unannounced staff drills using those
procedures.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility staff did not know emergency
preparedness procedures, 2 of 9 staff
(Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 and 3, RNS 1
and 3).
For RNS 1, staff failed to know to use red
outlets in case of a power outage. In case of an
emergency, this deficient practice had the
potential to result in harm for the residents that
require use of medical equipment.
For RNS 3, staff failed to know the location of
water/gas shut off valves, electrical panel
location and fire emergency interventions.
These failures had the potential to compromise
the residents in the event of an
emergency/disaster.
Findings:
On 4/29/17 at 6:10 a.m., an interview was
conducted with RNS 1. RNS 1 was asked
where the resident's medical equipment should
be plugged in if the facility experienced a power
outage. No answer, then she was asked if the
facility had different color outlets. RNS 1 could
not respond and asked if she knew what outlets
were? "Yes," RNS 1 did not know to plug in
resident's medical equipment in to the red
outlets in case of a power outage.
