Resident R108 was lying in bed with a mobile cart placed adjacent to the room doorway in the hallway at a ninety-degree angle, and two staff members were inside the room dressed in disposable gowns and tending to Resident R108's leg. The two staff members were completing a dressing change to Resident R108's leg and each time the one staff member moved to the side, red-colored tissue and associated bodily drainage was exposed on Resident R108's leg. After a few minutes of observation, Resident R108 noticed the surveyor standing in the hallway watching
the wound care and asked aloud, What's he doing out there? The two staff members turned and looked at
the surveyor in the hallway when one staff responded, Maybe looking for someone, I don't know. However, no attempt to close the doorway was offered or made at this time and Resident R108 continued to make several looks at the surveyor who remained in the public hallway.

F 0583 At 2:08 p.m., the director of nursing (DON) approached the surveyor and Resident R108's room from down the hall. DON observed Resident R108's open doorway along with the care inside, and was questioned if they knew why the Level of Harm - Minimal harm or door would be left open for such. DON responded, No, I don't, and identified the one staff member in the potential for actual harm room as registered nurse manager (RN)-D. DON stated Resident R108 could be super particular and she would follow-up. DON then approached Resident R108's room and asked if the door could be closed when RN-D aloud Residents Affected - Some responded, She wants it open. Resident R108 then voiced aloud, I have nothing showing. DON returned to the surveyor and expressed she would review the care plan to ensure the door being open was outlined.
Resident R108's care plan, revised 11/27/24, identified a section labeled, Personalized Care ., which outlined an intervention reading, Going outside for fresh air: Very important 12/4/24: Fresh air is very important. Keep door open at all times, unless changing brief. In addition, a subsequent section outlined, ADL self care needs, included an intervention reading, PERSONAL HYGIENE/ORAL CARE . -Patient feels Claustrophobic. Door to room to remain open at all times, unless commode, or Brief change. This intervention was listed as being revised, 01/06/2025. The care plan lacked information on what, if any, other options had been attempted or offered to Resident R108 to ensure personal privacy was maintained for her and others.
On 1/6/25 at 2:53 p.m., Resident R108 was interviewed in her room. Resident R108's room had two ceiling-mounted tracks installed for privacy curtain(s), however, no physical curtains were installed on these tracks. Resident R108 verified
she wanted the doorway left open due to being very claustrophobic, and voiced if anyone saw inside while care was happening, such as the observed wound care, then such was their problem and not mine. Resident R108 stated they resided in a medical care center and people should expect to see things which may be unsightly adding, That's reality. However, Resident R108 stated nobody from the care center had asked or offered other options to her prior (i.e., turning mobile cart to cover door entrance, portable curtains) but, again, reiterated aloud it wasn't her concern adding, No, because I don't think it's an issue.
Resident R108's medical record was reviewed and lacked evidence what, if any, additional options had been offered or attempted to provide as much privacy as able for Resident R108 and others (i.e., passerby's) during the provision of care with exposed wound tissue and potential bodily fluid (i.e., blood).
On 1/7/25 at 12:23 p.m., social services designee (SSD)-B and RN-D were interviewed. RN-D verified they were providing care which was visible from the hallway and felt nothing was flowing [i.e., blood] but acknowledged the wound tissue would be visible adding, [The] red tissue would have been very visible. SSD-B stated Resident R108's room was somewhat isolated down towards the end of the hallway, however, acknowledged they had not addressed what, if any, options were available to ensure Resident R108's privacy and others' was maintained adding, We have not thought of that. SSD-B stated if Resident R108's room had been located
in a more heavy traffic area, then it would have been addressed they felt. RN-D verified the care center had, at least at one time, some portable privacy screens which would allow the door to be kept open. RN-D explained the interdisciplinary team (IDT) had discussed using one of them prior, however, then questioned how it would be stored or cleaned. RN-D stated turning the mobile cart (used for wound supplies) to cover
the door would be good adding aloud, I think that would be a very easy option. RN-D verified Resident R108 did, at times, allow her doorway to be closed partially, too, with cares prior. RN-D and SSD-B both verified evidence of what, if any, options had been offered or presented to Resident R108 for privacy with wound care should have been documented in the medical record. Further, RN-D stated it was important to ensure privacy was maintained adding aloud, It's a dignity issue for all involved.
