The failure of the facility to adequately screen, assess, identify potential triggers (a psychological stimulus that prompts recall of a previous traumatic event), and develop and implement a Trauma Informed Care Plan to help limit the residents' exposure to potential trauma triggers, placed the residents at risk for re-traumatization and a diminished quality of life.

On [DATE REDACTED] at 9:04 AM, Staff PP, Nursing Assistant (NA), stated that they were familiar with Resident 6, a resident on the 300 Hall. Staff PP stated that they knew if a resident was a trauma survivor by, I would hope that the nurses would articulate that to the aides to let us know because we do not have access to their personal record. Sometimes the admission person would let us know.

Specifically, the facility failed to communicate interventions to the staff including settings of specialty mattresses, the correct use of positioning devices, and to address the identification of refusals of care for 3 of 5 residents (Residents 101, 1, and 105), reviewed for pressure injury. These failures placed residents at risk for pressure injury development, wound infections and/or complications, and diminished quality of life.
Findings included .
Review of the facility policy titled, Skin at Risk/Skin Breakdown revised September 2020, showed residents who entered the facility without pressure injuries would not develop pressure injuries unless the clinical condition demonstrated it was unavoidable and a resident with pressure injuries would receive the necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new sores from developing. Residents would be evaluated for risk for pressure injury development upon admission, weekly for the initial three weeks following admission, significant changes of condition, and annually. The licensed nurse was to complete full body skin evaluations weekly, indicating if new skin impairment was observed or not. If new skin impairment was noted after admission staff was to initiate alert charting, review current skin risk and interventions for effectiveness, and implement new interventions as needed.

The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear. The tolerance of soft tissue for pressure and Residents Affected - Few shear may also be affected by microclimate, nutrition, perfusion [flow of fluid or blood to cells and tissues], comorbid condition [medical conditions that coexist and affect health and treatment], and condition of the soft tissue. Stage 1 pressure injury: intact skin with a localized area of non-blanching erythema [redness that does not disappear when pressure is applied to the area]. Stage 2 pressure injury: partial thickness [involving epidermis and/or dermis] 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. Stage 3 pressure injury: full thickness [wound that extends below the epidermis and dermis into the subcutaneous tissue or deeper] skin loss, in which adipose (fat) or granulation [new connective tissue] tissue is visible in the ulcer. Stage 4 pressure injury: full thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia [connective tissue], muscle, tendon [strong cords of tissue that connect muscle to bones], ligament [bands that connect bones and joints], cartilage [tough, flexible connective tissue that protects bones and joints, and provides structure to the nose and ears], or bone in the ulcer. Unstageable pressure injury: full thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of the tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough [dead skin or tissue that can appear in a wound] or eschar [dead tissue that forms over healthy skin and eventually falls off]. Deep Tissue Pressure Injury [DTPI]: intact or nonintact skin with localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration, or epidermal separation reveling a dark wound bed or blood-filled blister. It is essential that the intended staging or classification system be used for each type of injury to ensure appropriate treatment.

Review of an admission assessment showed Resident 101 admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED] with medically complex conditions. This assessment showed the staff assessed the resident had severe cognitive impairment, was dependent on the staff for bed mobility and transfers, and did not reject care. The assessment showed Resident 101 admitted to the facility with no pressure ulcers but was at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Review of a 01/17/2025 worksheet associated with the assessment showed the staff assessed Resident 101, Needs special mattress or seat cushion to reduce or relieve pressure.
An observation on 02/25/2025 at 9:38 AM showed Resident 101 in bed. Observed at the foot of the bed was
a pump connected to the mattress, set at a 230 pound setting, a 10 minute cycle time, and on alternate mode. Observed under the mattress were two blue colored foam wedges placed under the resident's mid torso and legs areas.

Review of a 01/20/2025 progress note showed the staff, Noted new pressure ulcer spanning the sacrum [the lower back, above the tail bone] and Resident doesn't tolerate much time up in w/c [wheel chair] and spends most of [their] day in bed. The note showed the staff revised the care plan, for an air mattress to reduce pressure. Air mattress placed.

According to the 02/14/2025 quarterly assessment, Resident 1 had diagnoses including malnutrition and multiple sclerosis (disorder where nerve cells deteriorate). The assessment further showed Resident 1 required substantial up to dependent staff assistance for bed mobility, lower body dressing, and transfers. Resident 1 did not refuse cares, was at risk for pressure injury development and had one Stage 4 pressure injury, not present on admission. Resident 1 was cognitively intact and able to clearly verbalize their needs.
Review of the skin care plan revised 08/14/2024 showed Resident 1 had chronic moisture associated skin damage (MASD) that deteriorated into a Stage 3 pressure injury. The care plan showed Resident 1 refused to adhere to skin integrity interventions and instructed staff to review risk versus benefits of refusals to adhere to skin integrity interventions with Resident 1, quarterly. The care plan showed Resident 1 used an air mattres but no documentation of resident specific settings for the use of the air mattress was found.
Review of January 2024 through August 2024 nursing progress notes showed no documentation Resident 1 refused to adhere to skin integrity interventions or risk versus benefits of refusals were discussed with Resident 1 quarterly, as care planned. On 07/01/2025 Resident 1 was seen by the wound specialist for deteriorating bilateral buttock skin breakdown with use of an air mattress and compliance with turning. On 07/08/2024 Resident 1's MASD deteriorated and presented as a Stage 3 pressure injury.
