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 interview and record review, the
facility failed to provide necessary services to
promote healing, and prevent pressure ulcer
(localized damage to the skin and/or underlying
soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or
related to a medical or other device) infection
for one of three sampled residents (Resident
1).
For Resident 1, the resident was admitted to
the facility with stage 4 pressure ulcer (full
thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed of
muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in
the ulcer) to the sacrococcyx (the bottom of the
spine, the tailbone area), and the facility failed
to implement the facility's policy and procedure
by:
1. Failure to identify factors that placed
Resident 1 at risk for worsening pressure ulcer.
2. Failure to maintain a complete weekly
pressure ulcer assessment for Resident 1 that
included pressure ulcer/wound measurement
and the description of the wound
characteristics.
3. Failure to modify and implement new care
plans when the current interventions were not
effective.
These deficient practices resulted in Resident
1's pressure ulcer increase in size on 8/20/18
and had the potential for the resident to
develop new pressure ulcer.
Findings:
On 9/17/18 at 10:15 a.m., an announced visit

A review of Resident 1's Advantage Surgical
and Wound Care (progress note details), dated
8/13/18, indicated the size of Resident 1's

2.8 x 0.4 cm. The periwound (tissue
surrounding a wound) skin exhibited
maceration (the softening and breaking down
of skin resulting from prolonged exposure to
moisture). The note indicated Resident 1's
wound had an increase in size from 8/13/18 to
8/20/18 (1.1 cm in length, 1.2 cm in width, and
had no changes with depth).
A review of Resident 1's Wound Care Progress
Note, dated 8/27/18, indicated the size of
Resident 1's Stage 4 pressure ulcer was 3 x
2.7 x 0.3 cm. The periwound skin exhibited
maceration. The note indicated the post
debridement measurement was 3 x 2.7 x 0.3
cm.
A review of Resident 1's Physician's Order,
dated 8/20/18, indicated to administer Keflex
(an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial
infection), 500 milligrams (mg), four times a

infection.

A review of Resident 1's Physician Order,
dated 8/31/18, indicated to transfer Resident 1
to a General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) due
to an increase in white cell count (WBC - are
vital components of the blood to fight infection,
and they are essential for health and wellbeing. High white blood cell count may indicate
that the immune system is working to destroy
an infection).
On 10/31/18 at 12:20 p.m., during an interview,
Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) stated
wound/pressure ulcer assessments including
measurements and documentation of the
wound characteristics was done every Friday.
LVN 1 stated he did not performed Resident 1's
weekly wound assessment on Friday due to the
wound doctor/consultant would come on
Monday. LVN 1 stated he used the wound
measurement from the wound consultant and
documented it in Resident 1's Wound Note
Worksheet and he did not measure Resident
1's wound. LVN 1 stated Resident 1's care plan
was not revise and was not modified on
8/20/18 when there was an increase in size of
Resident 1's sacrococcyx pressure ulcer.
On 10/31/18 at 1:40 p.m., during an interview
and concurrent record review, the Director of
Nurses (DON) stated nursing staff did not
identify factors that placed Resident 1 as risk
for worsening pressure ulcer. The DON stated
Resident 1's care plan was not revised and
modify on 8/20/18 when Resident sacrococcyx
pressure ulcer was increased in sized.
On 10/31/18 at 3:20 p.m., during concurrent
interview and record review with the DON, she
stated the pressure ulcer/wound assessment
was always done weekly on Fridays. The DON
stated LVN 1 should assessed and measured
Resident 1's pressure ulcer on a weekly basis.

pressure ulcer measurement from the wound
doctor/consultant assessment. The DON stated
the purpose of the Licensed Nurse to assess
Resident 1's pressure ulcer was for the nurse
to present the assessment including
measurement to the wound doctor/consultant
during the consultant visit to the facility and to
compare if there was changes and
effectiveness with the current treatment.
During concurrent interview and record review
of Resident 1's Wound Note Worksheet form,
the DON stated the form was not completed.
The DON stated the form should include the
description of the pressure ulcer wound
characteristic such as tunneling and
undermining. The DON stated there was no
care plan developed to address Resident 1's
high risk for pressure ulcer development.
A review of facility's policy and procedure titled
"Pressure Ulcer/Injury Risk Assessment,"
revised in 7/2017, indicated the purpose of a
structured risk assessment is to identify all risk
factors and then to determine which can be
modified and which cannot or which can be
immediately addressed and which will take time
to modify. The policy indicated when the
assessment is conducted and the risk factors
are identified and characterized, a residentcentered care plan can be created to address
the modifiable risks for pressure ulcers/injuries.
The interventions must be based on current
standard of care. The effect of the interventions
must be evaluated. The policy indicated the
care plan must be modified as the resident's
condition changes, or if current interventions
are deemed inadequate. Documentation in
medical record addressing the Physician
notification if new skin alteration noted with
change of plan of care, if indicated. Notify the
attending Physician if new skin alteration noted.
