A review of facility documents titled, Weekly Head to Toe Assessment, dated 8/18/25, 8/8/25, 8/1/25, 7/25/25, and 7/14/25 all indicated no new skin issues.
Further review of R103's EHR revealed the following care plan focus: I have potential impairment to skin integrity r/t (related to) decrease mobility, frequently incontinent of bowel and bladder. I have a history of CVA (cerebrovascular accident) and my left side is weak. I have a tendency to bruise easily r/t use of the aspirin. My skin is fragile.Date Initiated: 1/31/2025.
Created by: MDS Coordinator.Revision on: 8/20/25.
Revision by: Director of Nursing. A review of physician's orders for R103 documented: Monitor for bruising r/t aspirin use every shift.
Date/time stamp of 8/20/25 at 10:34 AM.
When queried about the physician order to monitor for bruising and care plan revision entered today, 8/20/25, specifically what evidence did the DON have that R103 has a tendency to bruise easily, the DON stated (R103) has a tendency to bruise easily because of the aspirin. It is an anticoagulant.
With aspirin (the residents) can easily bruise.
The DON then added that she will change the care plan to reflect that R103 may easily bruise related to the use of aspirin.
The DON acknowledged that she had not completed the care plan interventions for this concern.
The DON said all residents are on a skin management program.
However, a person on aspirin required additional interventions.
The DON indicated that prior to today, R103's care plans had not been individualized to reflect she was on aspirin, and that this should have been part of R103's care plans before today. R103's care plans did not indicate a tendency to run into things as reported by UM/RN C. A review of the clinical record for R103 documented an initial admission date of 1/16/24 and readmission date of 6/2/25. R103's diagnoses included cerebrovascular disease, paraplegia, and atherosclerotic heart disease. A Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] documented intact cognition. A review of the facility policy titled, Comprehensive Plan of Care, undated but received during the survey documented in part the following:- The comprehensive care plan must be consistent with resident's right and reflect intervention to meet both short- and long-term resident goals; include intervention to attempt to manage risk factors; and be periodically reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team as changes in the resident's care and treatment occur.- Procedures included: re-evaluate and modify care plan as necessary to reflect changes in care, service and treatment. On 8/20/25 at 4:40 PM during the exit conference the Nursing Home Administrator and DON were asked if there was any additional documentation or information that the facility would like to provide prior to the end of the survey and there was nothing else provided related to the identified concern.
