Current hospital records as follows: New diagnosis of Hepatitis C, possible liver cirrhosis, kidney stone. The resident received emergency kidney dialysis, was identified as having a decompressed bladder around Foley catheter on admission and one kidney was atrophied. Labs obtained in the hospital on 9/13/23 included, but were not limited to, the following: A urine culture, dated 9/13/23, indicated escherichia coli (a bacteria) ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase) producing organism detected.

A progress note from an infectious disease physician, dated 9/16/23 (during Resident C's hospitalization ), indicated a recommendation for Ertapenem for a total of 14 days, to end on 9/26/23.fd On 10/10/23 at 12:19 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated Resident C had not had a urine culture done prior to the hospitalization on [DATE] possibly because she was colonized. At that time, the DON indicated she was unaware what bacteria Resident C was colonized with, and to find out could take a lot of digging. On 10/11/23 at 10:29 A.M., DON indicated Resident C's March 2023 labs were reviewed on 9/6/23 because something was not right with the resident, but could not find an exact reason for the review in the resident's chart. She indicated Resident C began to have some odd behaviors on 8/24/23. She indicated on that date, she had come back from LOA (leave of absence) with behaviors that were different for her that had continued until the hospitalization on [DATE]. The DON also indicated she was still unsure what the resident was colonized with, as she may have gotten her mixed up with another resident, and Resident C may not have been the one that was colonized. She indicated when a resident was colonized, the doctor would have the staff go off of symptoms to check for a UTI, then do a urinalysis and culture if indicated. She further indicated Resident C was supposed to have AAA surgery on 8/28/23, but it was postponed due to a yeast infection she had at that time, then postponed again due to being on IV antibiotics for 30 days. She indicated Resident C's AAA was originally scanned on 3/10/23, then again on 3/17/23 and 7/22/23 that showed an increase in size. She then indicated when a resident came back from the hospital, all labs and orders were reviewed by either herself or LPN 3. She indicated she was unaware of the discrepancy between the infectious disease physician order and the admitting order for the IV antibiotic, and if she had been aware, she would have questioned it to verify what the order should have been. On 10/11/23 at 1:18 P.M., the DON indicated she had called the Medical Director and he told her he had changed the original order for the 14 day antibiotic to a 30 day because he knows her better than infectious disease and wanted her to be on it for a longer period of time. On 10/12/23 at 9:01 A.M., LPN 7 indicated when Resident C had been sent to the hospital on 9/13/23, she was working that day. She indicated the night shift nurse for the previous night had notified her that morning that Resident C's blood pressure had been high and her cognition was off. She indicated she had been aware that Resident C had a history of frequent UTIs and that a symptom she had displayed in the past was weakness. She indicated she had noticed a recent shift with Resident C that she had previously been energetic and happy, and recently she had been weak and not as happy. On 10/12/23 at 8:45 A.M., Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 21 indicated Resident C would have symptoms of deliriousness and weakness with UTIs, and had been sick for about a month prior to her hospitalization on [DATE].

On 8/8/19 at 3:35 P.M., the Administrator indicated they could not find a Care Plan which was initiated on admission to prevent pressure ulcers. The MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator thought the Care Plan may be in her office. At that time, the DON indicated the reason the resident was not started on the wound care treatment on 6/3/19, was that the wound physician's computer system was down. She made rounds with the wound physician, she did not write down the recommendations for wound treatment, but waited until the office emailed the notes to the facility. The resident did receive the recommended treatment on 6/7/19 and 6/9/19. On 8/8/19 at 3:55 P.M., the MDS Coordinator provided a Resident Centered Baseline Care Plan for Resident D, dated 5/24/19. The MDS Coordinator indicated it was found in her office, but was not the one signed by the resident. The Care Plan included: Problem/Need/Concern .Risk for Skin Issues. The Interventions included: Perform preventative skin care, Tx (treatment) as ordered. T&R frequently. 2. On 8/7/19 at 9:20 [NAME]M., during the initial tour, the interim DON indicated Resident B had a pressure ulcer on the left outer ankle. The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 8/8/19 at 9:10 [NAME]M. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/28/19, indicated Resident B required extensive assistance of two plus staff for bed mobility, transfer, and dressing, and did not ambulate. The resident required total dependence of one person for bathing and did not have any pressure ulcers. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. A Care Plan, dated 4/14/17 and updated on 3/15/19, indicated, Pressure ulcer actual or at risk due to: Assistance required in bed mobility The Interventions included: Conduct weekly skin inspection - update MD (with) any abnormal findings. Enc/cue (encourage/cue) and assist (with) turning and repositioning freq (frequently) and prn Documentation indicated the resident had an orthopedic appointment on 5/1/19. A Wound Evaluation Flow Sheet, dated 5/1/19, indicated: Left ankle (outer), Pressure, Length 2 (cm), Width 2.2 (cm), Stage Unstageable. When was the wound identified? 05/01/2019. Pressure Ulcer (In-house acquired) Exudate: Serous, thin watery, Moderate .100% Necrotic The most recent Wound Evaluation Flow Sheet, dated 6/11/19, indicated: Length (in cm) 2, Width (cm) 1.7, Depth (in cm) 0.2 .Exudate: Serous, Thick, tenacious, Moderate, 70% Granulation, 30% Slough On 8/8/19 at 9:35 [NAME]M., a wound assessment was requested. LPN 2 indicated she had clarified the physician's orders [REDACTED]. The resident had a pressure ulcer on the left outer ankle. The wound bed had yellow tissue present. A scant amount of drainage was observed on the old dressing. No inflammation was observed. LPN 2 indicated the wound measurements and assessments should be in the computerized record, and she was unsure where the wound physician's documentation was. On 8/8/19 at 10:10 [NAME]M., during an interview with the interim DON, she indicated the wound physician's documentation was kept in her office. There was probably not more recent pressure ulcer documentation in the clinical record than 6/11/19. She toured with the wound physician, and so utilized the wound physician's measurements and notes. She was informed to keep the pressure ulcer documentation in her office, but that she would start keeping it in the resident's clinical record. At that time, the DON provided the most recent wound physician's documentation, dated 8/5/19. The documentation included: Stage 3 Pressure Wound of the Left Ankle. Etiology: Pressure, Stage 3, Wound Size (L x W x D): 0.7 x 0.5 x 0.1 cm, Exudate: Moderate Serous .Collagen sheet apply once daily for 9 days. Gauze island (dressing) apply once daily for 9 days On 8/8/19 at 2:45 P.M., during an interview with the interim DON, she indicated she thought staff had been removing the resident's leg brace twice daily, and that documentation would be on the Treatment Administration Record (TAR). The skin was difficult to evaluate due to the resident's skin color and texture. During a review of the resident's TAR, dated (MONTH) and (MONTH) 2019, there was no documentation that staff were removing the resident's left leg brace to assess the skin. On 8/8/19 at 3:05 P.M., during an interview with the interim DON, she indicated there was a physician's orders [REDACTED]. She checked the instructions at that time, and they indicated the brace should have been removed three times a day and she was unsure if nursing staff were aware of that. 3. On 8/7/19 at 9:20 [NAME]M., during the initial tour, the interim DON indicated Resident C had a deep tissue injury pressure ulcer on the right ankle. On 8/8/19 at 11:00 [NAME]M., a wound assessment was requested. Resident C was lying on an air mattress. A dressing was observed on the right heel. RN 2 indicated the resident returned from the hospital with a blackened area on the heel. A small open area was observed on the heel, with a scant amount of drainage. The clinical record of Resident C was reviewed on 8/8/19 at 11:15 [NAME]M. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A Wound Evaluation Flow Sheet, dated 4/14/19, indicated: Right heel, Blister, Length 9 (cm), Width 8 (cm), Depth 0 .Blister, not pressure wound The most recent Wound Evaluation Flow Sheet was dated 6/11/19. The sheet indicated: Length (in cm) 6, Width (in cm) 2, Depth (in cm) 0.2. Staging: Suspected Deep Tissue Injury A Care Plan, initially dated 12/21/17 and updated on 4/18/19, indicated: (Resident C) is at risk for pressure related skin impairments d/t (due to) her hx (history) of pressure areas, impaired mobility, weakness, requiring assistance from staff for her ADLs. The Interventions included: Conduct weekly skin inspection. Skin assessment to be completed per (name of facility) policy On 8/8/19 at 10:10 [NAME]M., the DON provided the wound physician's documentation. The DON indicated the documentation was kept in her office. The DON indicated she had not updated the wound flowsheets since 6/11/19. The most recent wound physician's documentation, dated 8/5/19, indicated: Stage 3 Pressure Wound of the Right Heel, Etiology Pressure, Wound Size (L x W x D) 0.4 x 0.4 x Not Measurable (cm), Slough 50%, Granulation tissue: 50% According to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel staging system, (YEAR): Stage 1 Pressure Injury: Non-blanchable [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] of intact skin. Intact skin with a localized area of non-blanchable [DIAGNOSES REDACTED], which may appear differently in darkly pigmented skin. Presence of blanchable [DIAGNOSES REDACTED] or changes in sensation, temperature, or firmness may precede visual changes. Color changes do not include purple of maroon discoloration; these may indicate deep pressure injury. Stage 2 Pressure Injury: Partial-thickness skin loss with exposed dermis. The wound bed is viable, pink or red, moist, and may also present as an intact or ruptured serum-filled blister. Adipose (fat) is not visible nor are deeper tissues. Granulation tissue, slough and eschar are not present. These injuries commonly result from adverse microclimate and shear in the skin over the pelvis and shear in the heel. Stage 3 Pressure Injury: Full-thickness skin loss. Full thickness loss of skin, in which adipose tissue is visible in the ulcer, meets the definition of a Stage 3 pressure injury. Granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by anatomical location; areas of significant adiposity can develop deep wounds. Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage and/or bone are not exposed. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss, this becomes an Unstageable Pressure Injury. Stage 4 Pressure Injury: Full-thickness skin and tissue loss. Full-thickness skin and tissue loss occurs with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone in the ulcer. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. Epibole, undermining and/or tunneling often occur. The depth of the injury varies by anatomical location. If slough or eschar obscures the extent of tissue loss, an injury such as this would be described as an Unstageable Pressure Injury. Deep Tissue Pressure Injury: persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or purple discoloration. This type of injury may involve either intact or non-intact skin, presenting with a localized area of persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, purple discoloration or [MEDICATION NAME] separation revealing a dark wound bed or blood filled blister. This injury results from intense and/or prolonged pressure and shear forces at the bone-muscle interface. The wound may evolve rapidly to reveal the actual extent of tissue injury, or may resolve without tissue loss. Unstageable Pressure Injury: Obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss. This type of injury involves full-thickness skin and tissue loss. The extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar. If the slough or eschar is removed from the wound, a stage 3 or 4 pressure injury will be revealed. On 8/8/19 at 1:50 P.M., the Administrator provided the current facility policy, Skin Integrity Guideline, dated 1/28/19. The policy included: Purpose: To provide a comprehensive approach for monitoring skin conditions. To decrease pressure ulcer, pressure injury, and/or wound formation by identifying those patients/residents who are risk, and implementing appropriate interventions. To promote healing wounds of any etiology, whether admitted or acquired .The facility develops a routine schedule to review patients/residents with wounds or at risk on a weekly basis and will document findings .The interdisciplinary plan of care will address problems, goals, and interventions directed toward prevention of pressure ulcers .Patients/Residents will be observed by the CNA daily for reddened/opened areas, [MEDICAL CONDITION] (swelling) of feet or sacrum.
