Immediate Jeopardy Identified On 04/07/11, an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified regarding the facility's failure to assess and monitor pressure ulcers, provide treatments for pressure ulcers, ensure necessary medications were available for the treatment of [REDACTED]. At 1:57 p.m., the Oklahoma State Department of Health was notified and verified the existence of the IJ related to pressure ulcers. At 2:05 p.m., the administrator and DON were informed of the IJ related to pressure ulcers and that this placed the facility in an extended survey. On 04/07/11 at 3:02 p.m., a medication receipt ledger documented Santyl for resident #3 was received at the facility. At 3:30 p.m., the assessment/care plan coordinator and CNA #8 were observed as they treated the resident's pressure ulcers with Santyl. Facility plan of removal for immediate jeopardy At 6:22 p.m., the facility submitted an acceptable plan of removal. The plan of removal documented: "Steps taken to remove Immediate Jeopardy condition relating to the required treatment medication not being available for administration to a resident and for the proper procedure for identification and reporting of pressure ulcers. 4/7/11 We have performed the following actions: Once the medication was received, we performed the wound treatment. We inserviced all nurses and CMAs on the proper procedures for ordering medications and for the proper procedure to follow if a needed medication is not available. We will perform a skin screening on all residents to verify that there are no other residents with unidentified wounds or treatments that have not been completed. We will inservice all nurses, CNAs and CMAs regarding the proper procedures for identifying, documenting, and reporting wounds. Then getting treatment orders and ordering medications. All nurse's (sic) and CMAs will perform the medication administration. If a medication is not available, they will immediately alert the charge nurse. She will immediately phone the pharmacy and alert them of the omitted mediation (sic) and request that the medication be delivered immediately. Each morning our medical records person will check orders written against the medications received report (or the medications ordered fax confirmation, if not yet received) and the treatment administration record. She will report those findings at stand-up each morning. Timeline 2:10 PM - We were informed of the immediate jeopardy 2:30 PM - Treatment medication was ordered 3:00 PM - Medication arrived and treatment started 4:03 PM - The treatment was completed 5:10 PM - Inservice on procedures for ordering medications completed 8:00 PM - Skin screening on all residents will be completed 4/8/2011 - 10:00 Inservice will be completed for all shifts regarding wound care, identification and reporting. Inservice for all nursing personnel regarding the proper procedures for identifying, documenting, and reporting wounds. When a CNA notices a blister, a reddened area, a scab, or other abnormal skin condition for a particular resident, she should finish completing her current task and leave the resident in a safe condition. She should then go to the nurse on duty to report the condition. The nurse should go into the resident's room to examine and measure the area of concern. She should then document the condition on a weekly skin sheet. Then she should call the doctor for treatment orders, document the order on a telephone order and the Treatment Administration Record. The order should be faxed to the pharmacy, if applicable. She should perform the treatment immediately or once the medication is available. The information contained in the in-services on 4/7/2011 and 4/8/2011 relating to the identification and reporting of pressure ulcers will be present to all nursing department new hires during orientation. The information contained in the in-service on 4/7/2011 relating to the ordering of medications and the steps to follow if the medication is not available will be presented to all new licensed nurses and new CMAs during orientation." Immediacy Removed On 04/08/11 at 10:00 a.m., the DON provided the skin assessments for all residents in the facility. The skin assessments revealed 3 additional residents were found to have unidentified pressure ulcers.

The IJ was removed on 04/08/11 at 10:00 a.m. after the facility provided documentation that all components of the plan of removal had been completed. Staff were interviewed in regard to their knowledge of the in-service; to ensure their understanding of skin assessments, reporting of any compromises to skin integrity, and the ordering of medications.
