According to the 11/15/2024 Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - an assessment tool), Resident 15 had impairments to both sides of their lower body and was dependent on staff for activities of daily living, mobility, and used a wheelchair. The MDS showed Resident 15 was at risk for pressure ulcers and needed pressure reducing devices for their chair and bed.
Review of the revised 11/19/2024 Impairment to Skin Integrity Care Plan (CP) showed Resident 15 had the potential for impairment to skin integrity due to impaired mobility and a history of pressure ulcers. Interventions on the CP instructed staff to provide a cushion while the resident was in their wheelchair and to wear foot cradles or to elevate their feet while the resident was up in their wheelchair.
Review of the physician orders showed an order to float Resident 15's left foot. Physician orders showed staff were to monitor wounds for signs and symptoms of infection and worsening condition during each shift and to document and notify the provider.
Review of Kardex (caregiver information sheet) showed staff were to float heels with pressure mat or boots.
Observation on 01/08/2025 at 08:53 AM showed Resident 15 sitting in the dining room, with slippers on. The left foot was hanging to the floor while the resident was sitting in the wheelchair.

Review of progress notes showed a progress note dated 01/07/2025 by Staff Z showing that Resident 15 had drainage to right heel and had a non-open diabetic ulcer to left foot. Staff Z noted that they notified the provider and was waiting for a response. No other progress notes located in the medical record showed that
a wound was bleeding on the left foot.
In an interview on 01/09/2025 at 2:43 PM, Staff K stated they were not made aware Resident 15 had a bleeding wound. Staff K stated it was not uncommon for bandages to fall off as they have as needed orders to replace bandages. Staff K stated the care staff should have reported the bed sheets being bloody and should have notified the nurse so the nurse could address why Resident 15 was bleeding. Staff K stated there should be a new skin assessment report made by the nurse and the nurse should notify the provider of
the issue. If a skin assessment report was completed by the nurse the unit manager would be notified about Resident 15's wound issue.
In an interview on 01/10/2025 at 12:49 PM Staff B stated their expectation was for nurses to follow physician orders. Staff K stated if there was a change in appearance of Resident 15's skin, this should be documented
on the skin assessment form and reported to the unit manager and the provider.
