She stated if a resident verbalized they did not want wound care done at a certain time, then staff should get a hold of team lead, the wound care nurse, or the physician to tell them. The DON stated if the wound dressing was missing or soiled, then wound care would have to be done. She stated if it was the resident's preference to change the wound care time, then her expectation would be to accommodate the resident and have it done earlier, not at night. The DON stated some residents did not mind receiving wound care during the evening or night shift. F.
