During an observation of incontinence
buttocks area dated 01/23/2025 and was saturated with urine.
The surrounding area was reddened and had an open wound measuring approximately one quarter inch by one quarter inch.
During an interview on 01/25/2025 at 1:58 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse #2 stated they did not know if the open wound on Resident #65 was new.

The wound was not measured.
When interviewed at that time, the Assistant Director of Nursing stated the open wound looked like a stage two pressure ulcer and there was no documentation of the wound in Resident #65's medical record.
The staff should have reported the new skin impairment, and the nurse should have documented a note in the electronic health record when it was discovered.

Licensed Practical Nurse #2 stated the medication carts are not affixed to the wall and the carts have wheels that you can unlock and roll the cart around.
There was no chain or lock that could be used to affix the medication cart to the wall.

During an interview on 01/30/2025 at 1:20 PM the Director of Nursing stated controlled medications should always be stored behind two locks in the secured double door cabinet in the medication room, unless they are being used during the shift and then only the medications being used should be kept in the medication cart. If the controlled medications are being kept in the medication carts all the time, there is an increased risk for diversion (theft). 10 NYCRR 415.18(e)(1-4)
