Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident who preferred to stay in her wheelchair received frequent repositioning to prevent the development and worsening of a pressure ulcer for 1 of 1 resident who met the criteria for pressure ulcer review. (Resident 77) Findings include: The clinical record of Resident 77 was reviewed on 6/5/17 at 11:16 a.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment, dated 2/22/17, indicated Resident 77 was severely cognitively impaired, not ambulatory, needed extensive assistance of 2 plus staff for bed and chair mobility, and was at risk for developing a pressure ulcer. A care plan, dated 1/9/17 and current through 8/9/17, indicated Resident 77 was at risk for skin breakdown related to decreased bed mobility and generalized weakness. Approaches included, Turn and reposition per resident individual need. The care plan did not indicate the frequency in which the resident needed to be repositioned. A care plan, dated 4/6/17 and current through 8/9/17, indicated Resident 77 refused offers of personal care. Approaches included encouraging resident to lie down when she fell asleep in her wheelchair. On 4/7/17, Resident 77's family was contacted requesting permission to provide some Occupational Therapy for wheelchair positioning because the resident kept leaning to the right. The family did not wish the resident to receive this positioning therapy. On 4/27/17, Resident 77 developed a Stage 2 pressure ulcer (a partial thickness loss of skin presenting as a shallow open ulcer) on her right buttock. A care plan, dated 4/28/17 and current through 8/9/17, indicated the resident had a pressure ulcer on her right buttock. Approaches included, Turn and reposition per resident need. The careplan did not indicate the frequency in which the resident needed to be repositioned. On 5/4/17, a Skin Condition Assessment Tool indicated the pressure ulcer had progressed to a Stage 4 (full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone or muscle). On 5/25/17, the Nurse Practitioner indicated, in a progress note, Resident 77 was non ambulatory, spent much time in her wheelchair prior to the wound development, had mild malnutrition and little supportive skin structure, all factors which increased the resident's risk for developing a pressure ulcer. On 6/1/17, the Nurse Practitioner documented in a progress note the formation of Resident 77's pressure ulcer may have been unavoidable due to her many risk factors. During an observation, on 6/5/17 from 12:45 p.m. to 1:20 p.m., Resident 77 was positioned in her wheelchair and did not appear to have been repositioned. An observation, on 6/5/17 at 1:35 p.m., indicated a pressure ulcer on Resident 77's right buttock, covered with a clear dressing, surrounding skin slightly reddened. The resident indicated it hurt sometimes. During on observation, on 6/7/17 from 9:40 a.m. to 10:10 a.m., Resident 77 was positioned in her wheelchair and did not appear to have been repositioned.

The CNA would assist the resident to the bathroom once or twice during her 8 hour shift, but indicated she did not know of anything else she was supposed to do to assist the resident to reposition herself in the wheelchair. Review of a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) Daily Assignment sheet indicated an intervention for Resident 77 was to offer to lay her down after meals. No other interventions were on the assignment sheet which would alert the CNA to assist the resident with repositioning while she was in her wheelchair. Mayo Clinic Bedsores (pressure ulcers) (April 25, 2017) was retrieved on 6/8/17 at 8:30 p.m. from the Mayo Clinic website.
