resident.During an interview on 08/26/25 at 3:19 P.M., the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) said CNAs can administer warm packs to a cognitive resident, but after consulting with the nurse so the nurse can further assess the resident's need/request for the warm pack, and the CMT or nurse to follow up with the resident. The ADON said staff should monitor a resident within 15 minutes if they apply a warm/cold pack to

a resident's skin. During an interview on 08/26/25 at 3:57 P.M., Nursing Assistant (NA) F said he/she was training with CNA G when the incident occurred. The NA said CNA G placed a washcloth with warm water

in a plastic bag and heated the bag in the microwave for about 15 seconds.

The NA said he/she found out the next day the resident had sustained burns to his/her shoulder, and he/she has not received any in-services regarding how to use a warm pack since the incident. During an interview on 08/26/25 at 5:32 P.M., Licensed Practical nurse (LPN) C said he/she reported to work at 10:30 P.M., and the evening shift staff did not report to him/her that staff had placed a warm pack on the resident's shoulder.

The LPN said

the CNAs can apply warm packs if they have been educated and directed by the nurse to do so, and the nurse is responsible to monitor the resident's skin. The LPN said he/she would prefer to apply a warm pack to the resident him/herself, particularly since the resident has decreased sensation due to his/her diagnosis and would need to be monitored more closely.During an interview on 08/27/25 at 1:07 P.M., the resident's physician said he/she would expect facility staff to be educated on the proper application of warm packs if

they should use it on a resident in the future. Complaint #2596159
