-A licensed nurse will perform a skin assessment upon admission, readmission, weekly, and as needed for each resident;
-Upon identification of a wound the licensed nurse will:
-Measure the wound (length, width and depth);
-Initiate a wound monitoring record sheet:
-A wound monitoring record will be completed for each wound;
-If the wound monitoring record is not used, documentation will be recorded within the medical record which may include nursing notes, treatment records or care plans;
-An assessment of care needs for pressure ulcer and wound management will be made with emphasis on, but not limited to:
-Identifying risk factors;

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow the facility's policy regarding wound care when staff failed to ensure continued wound care treatments following a hospitalization with an identified pressure injury (a localized area of skin damage that develops when prolonged pressure is applied to the body) to the tailbone (sacrum) upon discharge for one resident (Resident #14). The failure resulted in
the worsening of the identified sacral wound and the development of two additional pressure injuries. Staff failed to ensure accurate documentation, notify the physician of worsening wounds since hospitalization and obtain wound care orders. In addition, staff failed to ensure timely wound dressing change to identified saturated dressings (Resident #16). The census was 145.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement an effective pain management regime for two sampled residents (Resident #18 and #14). Staff failed to notify ensure Resident #18, who experienced pain related to metastatic breast cancer with osseous (bone) involvement, most severe over bilateral lower extremities, received pain medications as ordered by the physician and failed to notify the primary physician when pain medications were not delivered from the pharmacy and of medications available in the emergency kit. The resident experienced uncontrolled pain and was transferred to the hospital two days after admission to the facility. For Resident #14, the facility staff failed to provide effective pain relief when, during care, staff removed wound dressings which were adhered to the wound sites. The resident had so much pain, he/she was observed to cry and requested Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) D spray over the counter Bactine (relieves the pain and itch of minor cuts, scrapes and burns on contact) onto the buttock wound sites. The sample was 16. The census was 145.
