Further telephone interview on [DATE] at 1:23 pm with the NP, she stated when the labs came back the next day, the resident had elevated WBCs and she still was not feeling great and not eating. She stated the resident also had a UTI and was dehydrated so she ordered IV fluids and [MEDICATION NAME] to treat the UTI and to recheck labs in the morning. She stated when those labs came back, more fluids were ordered because of her elevated BUN and she was still dehydrated, she stated she and the MD discussed transferring the resident but with the COVID risk they felt it was best to keep her at the facility. She further stated LVN A had informed her the resident was doing better and eating, so she felt clinically, the IV antibiotics may be kicking in so she did not think at that time the resident needed to be transferred. She said the Treatment nurse contacted her on ,[DATE] in the morning stating the wound wasn't looking good, so she and the MD decided to repeat labs in the morning and monitor the resident for another 24 hours. Further telephone interview on [DATE] at 1:23 pm with the NP, when asked if the RP was fully aware of the severity of the wound infection and the critical labs, she stated the RP was contacted to let her know they did not want to transfer the resident because of the COVID and she agreed to keep the resident at the facility. She stated the next day she received a call stating the resident had critical labs and her WBC count was in the 30s, so she and the MD had a discussion and they wanted to continue to monitor closely and repeat labs in the morning the following day. She stated the resident was transferred because of an elevated WBC count and change in mental status. When asked if the resident should have been transferred considering the resident had a severe infection, multiple critical labs, lab results showing possible malnutrition, and the wound MD could not treat or debride the infected wound, she stated the resident was in bad shape and at the time, because of the COVID they did the best they could and they kept her at the facility as long as they could given the situation.

She said she was not aware of the size of the wound until the resident went to the hospice center stating the wound was a size of a dinner plate. Further telephone interview on [DATE] at 2:04 pm with CR #1's family member. She stated she was not aware of the severity of the labs, stating she was told the labs came back and with an elevated WBC count and it was probably from the infection. She stated they were more interested in telling her (CR #1) was refusing to eat. Said she did not know about any other critical labs other than the WBC count. She said she was told they would try to get the Wound MD in, but he could not enter due to CDC guidelines. She stated the only time she had a sense of urgency was on Thursday morning when they told her they were going to take her to the hospital. She stated that same day, they called back and then said they weren't going to take her because they were going to see if the antibiotics were going to manage the infection and said she didn't know who made that decision. When asked if she was aware of the severity of the problems with the residents' kidneys, she said she was told she did have some changes to her kidneys. When asked if she spoke to the NP or MD regarding the residents' condition, she stated she spoke to the NP after multiple attempts of trying to contact her, but it was about something else. She said she never spoke to the NP or MD about the wound or infection. She stated she did not know the severity of the WBC count and infection until she looked it up herself. She stated CR#1 expired on ,[DATE] shortly after being placed on hospice. Interview on [DATE] at 8:54 am with the DON and Treatment nurse, when asked once notified the Wound MD was unable to enter the facility, was another Wound MD contacted to determine if he/she could assess and/or treat the resident, the DON stated the Wound MD works in a group and another Wound MD could have come out, but the Medical Director wanted to wait two weeks to see if the wound would heal first before sending someone out to assess and or treat the wound. Further interview on [DATE] at 8:54 am with the DON, when asked if any nursing staff responsible for the care of CR#1 requested the NP and/or MD transfer the resident when they were aware multiple labs results showed her WBC count and renal function were critical and not improving after interventions and her wound was deteriorating quickly, the DON said No, we did call the MD and he said to do this, & this, & this and if it doesn't' work, then we will take the next steps. The DON further stated, she did not ask the MD or NP ask why she was not being sent out. She further stated when the WBC count continued to increase, and the labs were not looking good the resident was sent out. Telephone interview on [DATE] at 9:57 am with the Wound MD, when asked if he ever saw and/or treated CR#1's wounds after an order for [REDACTED].#1 should have been transferred out of the facility for wound care and to manage the infection considering she had a series of critical labs, poor appetite with weight loss, diabetes, and a wound that was deteriorating rapidly, he stated based an educated case, if she was unstable, further stating he did not know what her vital signs were, but if her WBCs were rapidly elevating she would be transferred. He stated usually if a wound was significant and deteriorating quickly, sometimes he would refer for treatment at a higher level of care if there were concerns [MEDICAL CONDITION]. He stated he thinks she was a candidate to transfer earlier because of the critical labs and co-morbid conditions, further stating if the wound was rapidly progressing he would have recommended she be sent out for more acute care.

Further interview on [DATE] at 8:54 am with the DON, when asked if any nursing staff responsible for the care of CR#1 requested the NP and/or MD transfer the resident when they were aware multiple labs results showed her WBC count and renal function were critical and not improving after interventions and her wound was deteriorating quickly, and she was showing s/s of malnutrition, the DON said No, we did call the MD and he said to do this, & this, & this and if it doesn't' work, then we will take the next steps.

Telephone interview on [DATE] at 9:57 am with the Wound MD, when asked if he ever saw and/or treated CR#1's wounds after an order for [REDACTED].#1 should have been transferred out of the facility for wound care and to manage the infection considering she had a series of critical labs, poor appetite with weight loss, diabetes, and a wound that was deteriorating rapidly, he stated based an educated case, if she was unstable, further stating he did not know what her vital signs were, but if her WBCs were rapidly elevating she would be transferred. He stated usually if a wound is significant and deteriorating quickly, sometimes he would refer for treatment at a higher level of care if there are concerns [MEDICAL CONDITION].

When asked if the CNA and/or shower tech is supposed to document old wounds on the shower sheet, she stated yes, they should always document the old wound that is present and anything that is observed on the residents' skin so other CNAs or shower techs who shower the same resident will know that it is an existing wound and not a change to the residents skin.
