Inspection Findings
treatment for [R1] because the treatment order is not assigned to me. I don't remember it being assigned maybe it was done the day before. I don't remember her [R1] asking me to do the wound treatment.On 11/23/25 at 12:10 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the nurses are doing the residents' wound care treatments and V11 comes weekly to monitor the wounds and see if the treatments are appropriate. V2 said that the nurses change the dressing, they document that the dressing is changed and what they assess on the wound. In progress notes they will document. V2 said if the dressing is done, it should be documented in the TAR. It should be signed off. In the TAR it should be signed that it's done. V2 said if the resident refuses, it should also be documented in the progress notes. V2 said that if it's not signed off in the TAR it means, it's not done; and the documentation should also be part of the progress notes.On 11/23/25 at 1:52 PM, a phone interview was conducted with V11 (Wound Care Nurse Practitioner). V11 stated, I cannot really tell if [R1's] wound is getting worse. I don't have my notes with me. If there is a change in measurement and if it's getting bigger then I would say it's getting worse. I do my initial assessment and I do weekly follow up if I'm consulted. If I have a treatment recommendation I would include it in my wound notes. I talk to the nurse and I will send the process notes to the [V2] to make sure my recommendations are carried out. It's important that my wound treatment recommendations are followed because if it's not followed the wound will get worsen.
The wound treatment order for [R1] is daily dressing so that the nurses can check and see the status of her wound.
They can inform me if there is a change in the wound. If they don't follow the order, it can make the wound worse. It should be done everyday and when it's soaked it's done as needed.The facility's PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF PRESSURE INJURY AND OTHER SKIN ALTERATIONS policy and procedure dated 3/2/21 documents in part: Implement preventative measures and appropriate treatment modalities for pressure injuries and/or skin alterations through individualized resident care plan.
