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.

Nursing notes for 4/28/17, failed to indicate any documentation or vitals related to post dialysis assessment. During an interview on 4/28/17, at 8:05 p.m., licensed vocational nurse (LVN 6) stated upon return from dialysis a head to toe assessment is done. Included in the head to assessment is mental status, vitals, and assessment of the pressure bandage. During an observation on 4/28/17, at 7:30 p.m., Resident 4 was observed in her room sitting in a wheelchair the left arm was bandaged with a white gauze, and the skin to the arm was pink and shiny. According to Resident 4 she had returned from dialysis at around 12:30 p.m., earlier that day.

When asked who was responsible for assessing and removing the dressing upon return from dialysis the treatment nurse stated "Any licensed nurse.": In an interview on 4/29/17, the director of nursing (DON) acknowledged the Dialysis Post Assessment had not been completed. The DON stated upon return from dialysis the vital signs, blood sugar, dialysis dressing and site, should be assessed. The dressing to the site should be removed approximately four hours after returning from dialysis if there are no complications.

Based on the comprehensive assessment of a resident, the facility must ensure that(i) A resident receives care, consistent with professional standards of practice, to prevent pressure ulcers and does not develop pressure ulcers unless the individual’s clinical condition demonstrates that they were unavoidable; and (ii) A resident with pressure ulcers receives necessary treatment and services, consistent with professional standards of practice, to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new ulcers from developing. This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary care and services to prevent pressure sore development [localized injury to the skin and underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence as a result of pressure or pressure in combination with shear and or/friction (objects rubbing against each other)] for one of two residents (Resident 1) at high risk for pressure sore in a total sample of 15 FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 5PU211 Facility ID: CA970000066 If continuation sheet 8 of 32 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

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.

Notification to Resident 1's physician of the development of a pressure sore. These deficient practices resulted with Resident 1 developing a pressure sore to the back of the right ear. In addition 3 of 15 sampled residents (Residents 2, 6 and 7) were not wearing NC paddings behind the ears as ordered by the physician.

A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized assessment and care screening tool) dated 2/21/17, indicated Resident 1 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers. A review of the Braden Scale (scale used for predicting Pressure Sore Risk assessment tool) dated 2/20/17, indicated Resident 1 was at high risk for developing pressure sores. Resident 1 score was a 10, (total score of 12 or less represents high risk).

There was no padding in place to the part of the NC in the back of the ear. On 4/27/17, at 9:40 p.m., an interview was conducted with Resident 1's Responsible Party (RP).

The back of both ears were compared and the back of the right ear was bigger than the left. In addition, the NC tubbing under Resident 1's chin was pulling toward the left and pulling the portion located behind the right ear. There was no documented evidence the staff assessed the skin underneath the NC device behind the ears.

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 4/28/17, at 8:23 a.m., a third observation to the back of Resident 1's ear was conducted with RN 2, DON (director of nursing), and TN 1 present. The back of Resident 1's ear had an open wound; the skin was pink, and swollen. A review of RN 2's notes dated 4/28/17, at 9:00 a.m., indicated "follow up assessment of behind right ear. Behind right ear redness and pinpoint size ulcer note without drainage." On 4/28/17, at 8:25 a.m., an interview was conducted with the DON, she stated the back of Resident 1's ear had open skin, was pink, and the ridge was bigger than the left ear. On 4/28/17, at 8:32 a.m., TN 1 cleaned the wound with normal saline and then measured Resident 1's wound with a cotton swab. As TN 1 was measuring the wound, he verbalized the following: length 1 centimeter (cm), width 0.2 cm, and depth 0.3 cm. TN 1 stated Resident 1's skin to the back of the ear was open and pink.

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.

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.
