Spanish Trails Rehab: Abuse Response Failures - NM
The resident, identified in inspection records as Resident 2, had diarrhea and required frequent brief changes. She didn't get them. A registered nurse at the facility told inspectors she was aware the resident's brief was not being checked or changed as frequently as it should be. The redness in the groin area, the nurse said, was indicative of being in a soiled brief for extended periods.
The Interim Director of Nursing put a finer point on it. She told inspectors that moisture-associated skin damage in the groin area is typically caused by incontinence, and that she would expect any resident in that condition to be checked and changed every two hours, and more often as needed. For this resident, she confirmed, that did not happen. The resident was changed fewer than two times in a 24-hour period.
The violation was cited under F0677, covering basic personal hygiene and grooming, and tagged at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
The redness was already there when inspectors arrived. A nurse had noticed it. The interim director of nursing confirmed it. Nobody disputed what had caused it.
