SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES

During an observation and interview on 8/21/25 at 8:56 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) B noted the patch on R102's right arm and stated, (R102) should have an order for the patch. LPN B reviewed R102's electronic health record (EHR) and confirmed there was no physician's order to apply a wound patch to R102's right arm or nursing note regarding the wound patch dated 8/16/25. A review of R102's EHR documented an admission date of 7/24/25 with diagnoses that included atrial fibrillation, morbid obesity, and hemiplegia/hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side. A Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE] documented severe cognitive impairment. R102's care plans were reviewed, and the following care plan focus areas were revised on 8/21/25:- Resident is at risk for impaired skin integrity related to incontinent of bladder, incontinent of bowel, obesity, impaired mobility, history of cellulitis, has history of picking at skin.- Resident has impaired skin integrity as evidenced by: Abrasion to right elbow, arterial wound to right lateral malleolus, cellulitis to RUE (right upper extremity) (resolved); Abrasion to sternum (resolved) present upon admission.

During an interview on 8/21/25 at 1:46 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) said R102 had a scab on his right arm and the nurse put a dressing on it.

The DON stated, There should have been a physician's order for that.

The DON said the physician should have been made aware of what was going on with the resident and to also direct the nurse to implement the proper wound treatment.

The DON acknowledged there was no note written regarding the wound and treatment provided.

The DON added that whatever treatments are done for the residents should be documented. A review of the facility policy titled, Pressure Ulcer/Skin Breakdown - Clinical Protocol, dated 3/20/24, documented in part the following: The physician will authorize pertinent orders related to wound treatments, including pressure reduction surfaces, wound cleansing and debridement approaches, dressings (occlusive, absorptive, etc.), and application of topical agents.
