Spanish Trails Rehab: Care Plan Failures - NM
The resident, identified in inspection records as Resident 2, had diarrhea and needed frequent brief changes throughout the day. She wasn't getting them. A registered nurse told inspectors she was aware the resident's brief wasn't being checked or changed as often as it should be. She knew because the evidence had already appeared on the resident's skin.
The redness in the groin area, the nurse explained, is what happens when someone stays in a soiled brief too long.
The facility's Interim Director of Nursing confirmed what that meant in practice. She told inspectors that moisture-associated skin damage in the groin is typically caused by incontinence, and that she would expect a resident with diarrhea to have her brief checked and changed every two hours, and more often if needed. She confirmed the resident had been changed only one to two times in a full 24-hour period.
That did not happen, the interim director said.
The violation was cited at the minimal harm level, meaning inspectors determined no severe injury had occurred. The skin damage had already started.
