Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident with pressure ulcers received necessary treatment and services consistent with professional standards of practice to promote healing and prevent infections for 1 of 2 (Resident #2) residents reviewed for quality of care.The facility failed on 11/17/2025 to ensure the pressure ulcer on Resident #2's right glute was covered with a dressing as ordered.This deficient practice could affect residents who receive wound care treatments by placing them at risk for receiving inadequate treatments resulting in the worsening of the wounds. The findings included: Record review of Resident #2's face sheet dated 11/17/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male with an admission date of 1/5/25.Record review of Resident #2's History and Physical dated 6/19/25 revealed the resident had a diagnosis of chronic right gluteal pressure ulcer (an injury to the skin and underlying tissue over the buttocks (gluteal area) caused by prolonged pressure, friction, shear, or moisture that reduces blood flow to the area, leading to tissue damage), iron deficiency and anemia. Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE REDACTED] revealed he had a BIMS score of 2 indicating the resident was severely cognitively impaired. Under section M Skin Conditions, the MDS revealed the resident needed
a Pressure Reducing device for bed, requiring pressure ulcer/injury care, application of nonsurgical dressings, Applications of ointments/medications.Record review of Resident #2's care plan dated 09/02/2025 revealed Resident #2 had a pressure ulcer or a potential for pressure ulcer development. The care plan revealed the resident needed to have intact skin, free of redness, blister or discoloration and asked for staff interventions which included administration of medications as needed, administering treatments as ordered and monitoring effectiveness by replacing loose or missing dressings.In an
observation on 11/17/25 at 11:46 AM, LVN J and CNA K turned Resident #2. CNA K removed the brief, and
a thick white substance was observed on the resident's buttocks and directly on the pressure injury. The wound had no dressing in place. In an interview 11/17/25 at 11:52 AM, CNA J stated she did not report the absence of the wound dressing. She stated staff were trained to immediately report missing dressings. In
an interview on 11/17/25 at 11:54 AM, CNA K confirmed she noticed the dressing was missing earlier in
the shift and did not notify nursing staff. She stated staff were trained to report missing dressings for any resident with pressure ulcers.In an interview on 11/17/25 at 12:28 PM, the DON stated wounds without dressings increased infection risk and delayed healing. The DON stated it was unacceptable for the resident not to have a dressing on his pressure ulcer as ordered in his care plan. The DON stated checking that dressings were in place as ordered was the responsibility of the wound care nurse. The DON stated that if any LVN or CNA noticed the wound had no dressing, it had to be reported immediately to the wound care nurse.Record review of the facility's policy titled Pressure Injury: Prevention, Assessment and Treatment read in part: Staff will maintain skin integrity, implement turning schedules, maintain hygiene, assess skin routinely and report abnormalities to nursing staff to prevent skin breakdown, promote healing, and prevent infection.

It's used to help nurses and CNAs quickly understand what a resident needs without having to dig through the full medical chart) in the residents' care plans. CNA E said if a resident required two staff members for repositioning, they always needed to request help from a coworker.

they needed.

residents that have wounds . She said the staff should use a gown and gloves when having direct contact with the residents to prevent cross contamination and spread of infection. The DON stated she was unsure when staff were last trained on EBP.In an interview on 11/17/25 at 1:35 PM, the Doctor stated if the facility had posted an EBP sign by a resident's door, the staff had to follow the facility's recommendations and that
the probable negative outcome would be spreading of infection and cross contamination to other residents
in the facility if staff were not wearing their PPE. In an interview on 11/17/25 at 2:13 PM, the Administrator stated if there was a sign posted by the door of a resident stating that there were enhanced barrier precautions, the expectation was for the staff to follow that procedure and for them to wear those barriers.
