Inspection Findings
During an interview on 11/05/2025 at 10:39 AM, Nurse Practitioner #5 stated if a resident had wounds upon admission, they expected nursing to obtain orders within 24 hours.
They expected wounds to be assessed by nursing weekly or more frequently if needed.
The facility required residents have physician orders for all medications and treatments and that was required because they wanted the correct orders in place.
They were not aware the resident went greater than two (2) days without a treatment order, was not aware the resident went four (4) weeks without a documented wound assessment and stated that was not timely. On 10/10/2025, when they documented the resident's wound was due to the Unna boot, they should have said the wound occurred when the Unna boot was on.
They heard from staff the resident was non-compliant and messing around with their Unna boot.
They were not sure how the resident got an infestation when the Unna boot was in place.
They were not aware the Unna boot was discontinued on 10/03/2025 and not aware there was no physician order for Unna boots that were in place on 10/10/2025. 10 NYCRR 415.12
