Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 37890
Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a pressure offloading mattress was ordered and implemented timely to prevent pressure ulcer (PU)/pressure injury (PI) development for 1 of 2 residents (Resident 7) reviewed for facility acquired PU. Resident 7 experienced harm when they developed a preventable Stage 3 PU to their coccyx (tailbone), requiring wound vacuum treatment which impacted the resident's rehabilitation and discharge potential. This failure placed residents at risk for adverse outcomes and a decreased quality of life.
Findings included .
PRESSURE ULCER DEFINITION AND STAGES
The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) April 2016, defined Pressure Ulcer (PU) Definition and Stages as:
-A PU is localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to
a medical or other device. The injury can present itself as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be painful.
The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear (a combination of downward pressure and friction).
-Stage 2 PU: Partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis. Partial-thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis. The wound bed is viable, pink or red, moist, and may also present as an intact or ruptured serum-filled blister. Adipose (fat) is not visible and deeper tissues are not visible. Granulation tissue, slough and eschar are not present.
-Stage 3 PU: Full-thickness skin loss Full-thickness loss of skin, in which adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer and granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by anatomical location; areas of significant adiposity can develop deep wounds. Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage and/or bone are not exposed. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss this is an unstageable PI.
-Unstageable PU: Obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss. Full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which
the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar.
RESIDENT 7
Resident 7 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with diagnoses which included diabetes (abnormal processing of sugar), existing stage 2 PUs on the right and left buttocks areas and an unstageable PU to the left foot.
The resident's discharge plan included the resident's intention to return home when wounds were manageable with home health assistance.

the right and left buttocks, and an unstageable PU to the left foot. The assessment showed no skin Level of Harm - Actual harm breakdown on the coccyx area on admission.
Residents Affected - Few Review of the Braden Scale (an assessment tool that measures risk for pressure injury) dated 10/17/2024, scored the resident as 12 which was moderate risk for PU development.
Review of the resident's care plan dated 10/17/2024 showed Resident 7 required total assistance of two staff for bed mobility and was able to use a bed enabler bar to assist with turning and positioning. Further review of the care plan on the date of admission showed no care plan problem related to existing pressure ulcers, pressure ulcer prevention or interventions put in place upon admission.
Review of Resident 7's care plan showed a focus area initiated on 10/24/2024 instructing staff to offer and assist with turning and repositioning every two-three hours, off load pressure with positioning side to side when in bed, limit time on back to meals. The care plan included a low air loss mattress (a higher-level surface which is rated for prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers) on the bed for pressure relief and a pressure reduction cushion in the wheelchair.
Review of Resident 7's nursing progress note dated 10/31/2024 at 3:24 PM, documented the resident with a new stage 3 PU to the coccyx that started as slit open area a week ago and now the wound bed was covered with 100% slough. The progress note stated the provider and resident were notified and that the resident had pain that limited their mobility to turn and reposition frequently. The note stated the Resident Care Manager (RCM) was notified to see if a Low air loss (LAL) mattress could be provided in addition to turning and repositioning, as the resident was not tolerating side to side positioning due to low back and lower leg pain.
Review of Resident 7's progress notes and care plan updated on 11/24/2024, documented that the resident was not placed on the LAL mattress until 11/24/2025 (30 days after the RCM was notified to order the LAL).
Review of Resident 7's medical record showed they were being seen by an outside wound clinic related to existing wounds and the wound clinic began following the coccyx wound in December of 2024. Review of the wound clinic notes documented the wound as unstageable and treatment plan included placement of a wound vacuum, which was changed three times per week and was in place until 04/08/2025.
Review of the facility wound assessment notes showed inconsistent documentation of the coccyx wound characteristics and size, obtaining wound clinic assessment notes and interchanges the location of the wound to be coccyx or sacrum. The documentation was as follows:
- 10/24/2024 coccyx documented as a slit with no measurement.
- 10/31/2024 coccyx ulcer stage 3 with no measurement included in the note.
- 11/26/2024 50% wound bed noted with covered with slough, with tunneling measuring 5.5 centimeters (cm) at 12 o'clock, 4 cm at 3 o'clock, 2 cm at 6 'o'clock, 1.5 cm at 9 o' clock. There were no would bed dimensions documented.

In an interview and observation on 04/23/2025 at 3:00 PM, Resident 7 was sitting up in their wheelchair with foam boots noted on bilateral feet. Resident 7 stated when they admitted they were on a flat mattress that felt like an army cot. The current mattress was observed to be an air mattress. Resident 7 stated they were supposed to have been on a specialty bed from day one, but I did not get one for over a month. Resident 7 stated they already had wounds when they admitted and then developed the one on their tailbone. Resident 7 stated (the tailbone) is the one that has given me the most trouble. Resident 7 stated they were frustrated that due to the wound vacuum and positioning restrictions, they had not been able to effectively participate in therapy until recently, so they lost strength and needed to be able to walk in order to go home, which they stated was still very much their goal.
In an interview on 04/30/2025 at 12:57 PM, Staff F, RCM, stated there were standard batch orders for basic skin interventions that auto populate when a resident admitted and from there, individualized interventions would be entered, but stated there was no standard protocol to follow. Staff F stated air mattresses, overlays or special beds are indicated for anyone with skin issues, obesity, or bony prominences. Staff F reviewed Resident 7's medical record and verified that there were no PU prevention interventions in the record until 10/25/2024, when the coccyx wound was first identified as a slit. Staff F stated they did not know why Resident 7 did not have a higher-level mattress placed on admission. Staff F stated they were not very knowledgeable about the types of mattresses but stated Staff A, Administrator, would know because they were the ones who ordered the mattresses.
In an interview on 04/30/2025 at 1:40 PM, Staff B, Interim Director of Nursing, stated Resident 7 admitted with several existing wounds, and stated upon admission, residents were assessed for risk and interventions were put in place. Staff B stated if a wound developed or worsened, it was ours, and stated interventions would include turning and positioning, pressure prevention mattresses and cushions, nursing assessments, wound specialists, dietician, and ensuring the practitioner assessed. Staff B stated that for a stage 3 or higher it was common sense to have an air mattress, the mattresses that are standard are pressure relieving, but they were not enough for stage 3 or higher. Staff B acknowledged that Resident 7 admitted with
a stage 3 or higher already present and stated they do not know why a higher-level mattress was not placed until 11/24/2024.

<RESIDENT 7>
Resident 7 admitted on [DATE REDACTED] following a hospital stay related to wound infection.
Review of Resident 7's admission records showed the resident was referred for a level two PASRR evaluation (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review, a required evaluation for residents with serious mental illness or mental disability, to determine whether they are receiving the most appropriate level of care,
in the most appropriate setting) related to documentation of indicators of severe mental illness, which was done on 11/07/2024. Review of the PASRR evaluator notes documented that a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, found in the resident record, was not accurate. The evaluator stated the resident did not have indicators of serious mental illness and identified that the error originated in the hospital when the diagnosis appeared in error.
Review of the resident's medical record on 04/25/2025 showed the facility failed to follow up on the PASRR evaluator's discovery of the diagnosis error, and the diagnosis remained in the facility record on both the Medication Administration Records and the resident's care plan.

on the PASSAR recommendations and would need to confirm and obtain an order from the provider to remove a diagnosis and then send the update to medical records.
In an interview on 05/01/2025 at 9: 49 AM Staff H, Licensed Practical Nurse stated the facility expectation was that medications, treatments and behavior monitors needed to be completed and signed for or other nurses would not know if the nurse had provided those medications and treatments.
