interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) received care consistent with professional standards of practice to prevent pressure injury (localized, pressure-related damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence), when Resident 1, who was admitted with Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD, skin irritation or breakdown caused by prolonged exposure to wetness from bodily fluids) to the buttocks extending to the groin area, did not have a weekly skin assessment, per facility policy.This deficient practice had the potential to result
in worsening the MASD or infection and could negatively affect Resident 1's quality of life.Findings:During a
review of Residents 1's admission Record, the admission record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses including diabetes (blood sugar level to become too high) and anemia (not having enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body's tissues). During a
review of Resident 's History and Physical (H&P) dated 8/11/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), initiated 8/15/2025, the MDS indicated a completion date of 8/25/2025. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with toileting, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was frequently incontinent of urine and had occasional incontinence of bowel. During a review of Resident 1's Braden's Scale for Predicting Pressure Risk, dated 8/8/2025, the document indicated Resident 1 had a high risk for pressure injury. During a
review of Resident 1's care plan for Actual Impairment to Skin Integrity of the buttocks extending to the groin area related to MASD dated 8/8/2025, the care plan interventions indicated to monitor/document location, size and treatment of skin injury, report abnormalities, failure to heal, signs of infection etc. and report to the doctor. During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/25/2025 at 10:30 AM, with the Director of Nurses (DON), Resident 1's electronic health record (EHR) dated from admission 8/8/2025 to present 8/25/2025 was reviewed. The record indicated Resident 1 had MASD upon admission but did not have a weekly skin assessment completed per policy. The DON stated Resident 1 did not have a weekly skin assessment for her MASD, that included location, size and if treatment was effective. The DON stated not having a weekly skin assessment of Resident 1's MASD had the potential for further skin breakdown.
During an interview on 8/25/2025 at 2 PM with Treatment Nurse (TN) 1, TN 1 stated Resident 1 had MASD upon admission on [DATE REDACTED], and there was no weekly assessment because it was missed. TN 1 stated it was very important to have a weekly assessment of Resident 1's MASD, due to the resident's occasional refusal of diaper change. TN 1 stated the weekly skin assessment would determine if the current treatment was working or not, and if the MD needed to be notified. A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Prevention of Pressure Injuries, revised 4/2020, indicated the purpose was to provide information regarding identification of pressure injury factors and interventions to specific risk factors and to assess the resident on admission for existing pressure injury risk factors and repeat risk assessment weekly. The P&P indicated to evaluate, report and document potential changes in the skin, and to review
the interventions and strategies for effectiveness on and ongoing basis.
