Managing tissue loads. Pressure ulcer care. Managing bacterial colonization and infection. Operative repair of the pressure ulcer(s). Educating and quality improvement. 3. A review of the Resident Face Sheet indicated Resident 76 was admitted to the facility on 7/2/14 and was readmitted on 12/5/18, with diagnoses that included, heart failure (inability of the heart to meet the body's demand) and muscle wasting. A review of the MDS dated 12/17/18, indicated Resident 76 was usually able to understand others and express ideas and wants and required total dependence with one-person assistance for bed mobility. On 12/29/18, at 9:43 a.m., during an observation and concurrent interview, Resident 76 was observed with left foot wrapped with Kerlix dressing and was wearing a boot. LVN 2 stated, Resident 76 had a DTI on the left heel 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE and was being treated with Betadine. A review of the physician's order, dated 12/5/18, indicated to treat Resident 76's left heel DTI with normal saline, pat with Betadine and wrap with Kerlix daily for thirty days. On 12/31/18, at 2:10 p.m., in an interview, the DON stated, according to the facility protocol, Betadine was not the treatment of choice for DTI. A review of the facility P&P dated 10/2010, titled, "Pressure Ulcer Treatment," did not include Betadine for treatment of DTI. According to National Institute of Health, the care of pressure ulcer was to keep the wound clean and prevent infection and do not use iodine cleanser as it can damage the skin. Reviewed: 5/12/18 https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions /000740.htm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent and have preventative measures in place to prevent worsening of pressure ulcers (injuries [PI]/areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for too long which reduces blood flow to the area and cause the skin to die and develop a sore) prominence as a result of pressure) for three of five sampled residents with pressure injuries (Resident 22, 76, and 151) in a total resident sample of 24. 1. For Resident 22, the resident had a facility acquired deep tissue injury (DTI an injury under the intact skin due to prolonged unrelieved pressure) PI to the left heel. The facility failed to: 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE a. Ensure weekly skin assessment were done on 12/17/18, and 12/24/18, in accordance with the facility's policy and procedures. b. Notify the physician of Resident 22's change in condition to the left foot PI. The left foot was swollen. c. Ensure Resident 22 was monitored on multiple days to relieve constant pressure on the left heel (offload the heel) as indicated in the plan of care. d. Notify the physician of the facility's policy and procedures regarding treatment for deep tissue injury (DTI/ are purple or maroon areas of intact skin caused by damage to the underlying soft tissues) and Resident 22's allergy to the current treatment order. 2. Resident 151, skin assessment was not properly assessed to reflect the resident's pressure injury on the left heel and the facility failed to start preventative measures on admission. 3. Resident 76, with a DTI on the right heel was treated with Betadine (or Povidine-iodine is solution used to eliminate bacteria to prevent infection) These deficient practices put the resident at risk for further skin breakdown that could have been prevented. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 22's record titled, "Resident Face Sheet," undated, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 3/26/18, with diagnoses that included dementia (gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE that is great enough to affect a person's daily functioning), heart failure, and allergies to intravenous (IV) dye (contrast/solution containing iodine given through the veins). A review of Resident 22's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment and carescreening tool, dated 10/1/18, indicated the resident was able to express ideas and wants. The MDS indicated Resident 22 required extensive assistance (staff provided support with bearing weight, at times full staff performance of activity) from staff with activities of daily living ([ADLs] such as toileting, personal hygiene, and bed mobility) and had a pressure reducing device while in bed and chair. A review of Resident 22's Treatment Administration History, dated 12/1/18 to 12/27/18, indicated a physician's order on 12/10/18, to cleanse the left heel DTI with normal saline (salt solution), pat dry, paint with Betadine, then cover with dry dressing every day. During an observation on 12/26/18, at 11:22 a.m., Resident 22 was in the room on a wheelchair with no footrest.

During an inspection of Resident 22's left heel, there was no dressing, the foot was swollen, and an area was observed with dark purple discoloration. The DON verified the wheelchair 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE had no footrest and Resident 22's feet were directly on the floor. The DON stated Resident 22 was mostly on the wheelchair and was able to self- propel using her feet and was unable to use her arms due to weakness. When asked about the interventions provided to residents with PI, the DON stated the feet needed to be offloaded to prevent pressure and worsening of the PI. During an interview on 12/27/18, at 10:55 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) in the presence of Resident 22, CNA 3 stated Resident 22 refused the foot rest. At the same time Resident 22, stated when she is on the wheelchair, it takes a long time to move and prefers to use her feet. On 12/27/18, at 10:57 a.m., during an interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), when asked if she was aware Resident 22 refused the foot rest, LVN 1 stated the CNAs have not reported to her that Resident 22 did not like the footrest. LVN 1 stated a resident with PI to the feet when on a wheelchair should have their feet offloaded and not resting on the floor. A review of Resident 22's care plan, "Left Heel Deep Tissue Injury," dated 12/10/18, indicated the wound should heal within 30 days and the following interventions: 1. Assess skin every day and as needed. 2. Provide pressure relieving surfaces to bed and wheelchair. 3. Encourage weight shifting while in wheelchair. A review of Resident 22's care plan, "Allergic to IV Dye," dated 3/26/18, indicated resident will be free of any allergic reactions. 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE During a review of Resident 22's care plan on 12/27/18, at 11 a.m., and concurrent interview, the DON verified the care plan for DTI of the heel indicated an intervention to provide pressure relieving device when on a wheelchair and should have heel protectors. The DON stated Resident 22 was not provided heel protectors and have her feet offloaded. During an interview on 12/27/18, at 11:05 a.m., LVN 2 (treatment nurse) verified Resident 22 had no dressing to the PI. LVN 2 stated there was no wound consult (a wound specialist that assess and provide treatment) obtained to evaluate Resident 22's facility acquired PI since 12/10/18. During an interview on 12/27/18, at 11:06 a.m., the DON stated the procedures for facility acquired PI were the following: 1. Facility staff should notify the physician for the change in condition (facility acquired PI). 2. Obtain a treatment order according to facility's policy. 3. Treatment nurse should monitor the wound every day and ensure the nursing interventions are provided according to the care plan. 4. Develop a care plan for PI. 5. Make an incident report regarding facility acquired PI. During the same interview, when asked when the facility staff obtains a wound consult, the DON stated a resident with acquired PI should have a wound consult. During a concurrent review of Resident 22's clinical record, the DON verified that Resident 22, who acquired a left heel DTI on 12/10/18, had no documentation that the physician was notified of the allergy to iodine, swelling and treatment order not according to facility policy. The DON stated there was no physician order obtained 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE for a Doppler (test done to assess blood circulation for healing) study or wound consult. The DON verified there were no weekly skin assessments for Resident 22 and stated residents with a PI should have weekly skin assessments. During an interview on 12/27/18 at 11:32 a.m., and concurrent record review, the DON stated Resident 22 had an initial assessment on 12/10/18, that indicated Resident 22 developed a left heel DTI, measuring 3.5 centimeters (cm) in length by 4 cm in width, the depth was unable to determine. The DON verified there were no other assessments done on a weekly basis for 12/17/18, and 12/24/18.

The DON stated that currently, LVN 2 was the only treatment nurse in the facility due to the other treatment nurse being on leave. Both LVN 2 and LVN 7 were the treatment nurse that would conduct the weekly assessments and treatments for residents with wounds during the week (Mondays-Fridays). During a concurrent review of Resident 22's Treatment Administration Record (TAR), dated 12/18, the DON and LVN 2 verified the TAR indicated Resident 22 had an allergy to IV dye. When LVN 2 was asked for the treatment bottle for Resident 22, LVN 2 removed an open bottle from the treatment cart labeled Povidine Iodine 10 percent (%) with no open date label. LVN 2 stated he had no knowledge of the possible allergic reaction to iodine and IV dye. The DON stated she would call the physician and notify him of Resident 22's allergy and swelling to the left foot. During an observation on 12/27/18, at 3:26 p.m., Resident 22 was in a side lying position in 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE bed. The DON and LVN 2 verified Resident 22 had a heel protector to the left heel and none to the right foot. Resident 22 had a pillow between the feet with the right heel on top of the pillow that was over the left heel wound. The DON was notified of the positioning of pillow on the left foot; pressure was applied to the left heel wound. The DON verified the position of the pillow was not on the calf to allow for the offloading of the feet. During an interview on 12/28/18, at 5:15 a.m., CNA 4 stated she was told to offload Resident 22's feet. During a concurrent observation, Resident 22 was lying on her back with one pillow under the resident's calves with both heels directly pressing on the mattress, not offloading. CNA 4 stated she will add another pillow to elevate the feet. During an interview on 12/31/18, at 1:31 p.m., the DON and LVN 4 stated Betadine was not a current treatment for PI and it was the role of the nurse to verify with the physician if the treatment order was not the current standard practice. The DON stated the residents that were being cared by the wound consult did not have Betadine as a wound treatment for a DTI. During an interview on 12/31/18 at 2:56 p.m., the DON stated according to the facility's nurse consultant, a DTI PI followed the protocol for a Stage 4 PI (full thickness tissue loss wound). A review of the facility policy and procedures titled, "Pressure Ulcer Treatment," dated 10/10, indicated the treatment for a Stage 4 wound was to cleanse with normal saline, apply alginate, foam or hydrogel dressing and cover with dry dressing. A review of the facility policy and procedures titled, "Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment," dated 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG DEFICIENCY) COMPLETE DATE 10/10, indicated the monitoring of the skin should have weekly assessments to identify any changes. According to National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) handbook on Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcer: A Quick Reference Guide, 2014, indicated, "Reevaluate the PI plan if the PI does not show signs of healing within two weeks and position the individual off the PI." In addition, NPUAP guidelines for PI care included a caution that iodine products should be avoided in individuals with iodine sensitivity due to the risk of systemic absorption.

This deficient practice had the potential for the resident to loss more weight and for the resident's increase of fluid intake can cause worsening of symptoms. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 75's Resident Face Sheet indicated the resident was readmitted to the facility on 10/29/18, with the admitting diagnoses of hypertension (high blood pressure), dehydration, and dysphagia (difficulty or discomfort in swallowing). A review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized assessment and care-screening tool, dated 12/26/18, indicated the resident had unclear speech and was usually able to express needs and wants. According to the MDS, Resident 75 needed extensive assistance, staff providing weight-bearing support, for dressing and personal hygiene. During an interview, on 12/28/18, at 7:33 a.m., the Director of Nurses (DON) stated, on 11/18/18, Resident 75 was 98 pounds (lbs.) and on 12/22/18, she was 92 lbs., a 6% weight loss in one month. The DON stated, if there is a weight loss of more than 5% in one month it was significant and the resident should be a weight variance programs to prevent further weight loss. The DON stated, when residents are placed on the weight variance program they notify the physician, responsible party and get consultation from the registered dietitian. The DON was unable to find any documentation the resident was placed on a weight variance program.

A review of the facility policy and procedure titled, "Nutrition (impaired)/ Unplanned Weight Loss- Clinical Protocol," dated 12/2011, indicated the threshold for significant unplanned and undesired weight changes will be bases on the following criteria [where percentage of body weight change = (usual weigh-actual weight)/(usual weight) x 100]: a. One month- 5% weight loss is significant; greater than 5% is severe. 2. A review of Resident 81's Resident Face Sheet indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on 10/11/18, with diagnoses of renal dialysis and diabetes (a metabolism disorder that affects the body's ability to use blood sugar). A review of the MDS dated 10/23/18, indicated the resident had clear speech and was able to express needs and wants.

The DON stated, residents on dialysis are usually on fluid restrictions to prevent fluid overload. During a phone interview, on 12/31/18, at 8:56 a.m., the Registered Dietitian (RD) stated, most residents who are on dialysis are on fluid restrictions. The RD stated, she calculates the resident's daily fluid intake by multiplying the resident's body weight in kilograms by 15-20 cubic centimeters (cc). A review of the facility Nutritional Assessment, dated 10/25/18, indicated the RD's recommended total fluids required to meet the Resident 81's needs are 855-1140 cc of fluid a day. According to the National Kidney Foundation: When you are on dialysis, your kidneys are no longer able to keep the right balance of fluid in your body. They cannot remove enough. That's why it's so important to limit how much sodium (salt) and fluid you have between dialysis treatments. This helps your body maintain the right amount of fluid, and it makes it easier for your dialysis treatment to remove extra water. The excess fluids can lead to: Swelling, discomfort, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, and heart problems. https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/fluidoverload-dialysis-patient 055845 12/31/2018 LEISURE GLEN POST ACUTE CARE CENTER 330 Mission Rd Glendale, CA 91205 PREFIX TAG ID PREFIX TAG
