Based on clinical record review and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to monitor the resident's skin and failed to provide wound treatment to an identified unstageable necrotic right heel ulcer for one of six residents reviewed. This failure resulted in discovering a wound on an advanced stage (unstageable, necrotic) for one of six residents (Resident 36). Findings include: Review of Resident 36's diagnosis [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Review of Resident 36's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS- An assessment tool used to facilitate the management of care) dated December 31, 2020, revealed that the resident required extensive two-person assistance with bed mobility. Review of the same MDS, under Section M (Skin Conditions) revealed that Resident 36 was at risk for developing a pressure ulcer. Additional review revealed that the resident does not have a pressure ulcer but had a venous/arterial ulcer. Review of Resident 36's admission notes dated December 24, 2020, revealed that the resident was admitted with a wound on the lateral leg identified as a vascular wound. Review of Resident 36's Braden Risk Assessment (tool used to determine risk factors for pressure sore development) dated January 14, 2021, revealed that the resident had a score of 17 which indicated a low risk for pressure ulcer development. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on November 11, 2021, at 11:45 a.m., revealed skin checks completed bi-weekly on Fridays. Review of Resident 36's clinical records failed to reveal that skin check assessments completed for the first and third week of January 2021. The DON provided a copy of a bi-weekly skin check completed on January 31, 2021, that indicated that the resident had right lower leg skin issues with wound treatment in progress. The DON confirmed the only skin assessment completed for the month of January 2021 was on January 31, 2021. Review of the wound physician's consult dated January 12, 2021, revealed a thorough wound care assessment and evaluation was performed, the resident had a venous wound of the right lateral leg that measures 24.0 x 8.0 x 0.2 cm (centimeters). Review of the wound physician consults dated January 19, 2021, revealed that the resident had a venous wound of the right lateral leg that measures 23.5 x 5.5 x 0.2 cm. The same consult revealed an unstageable wound (due to necrosis) of the right heel. The wound on the right heel was identified as pressure with a measurement of 4.5 x 4.5 cm, surfaced area was 20.25 cm, no exudate, with 100% thick adherent black necrotic tissue. A wound treatment to apply skin prep daily was made by the wound physician. Review of Resident 36's January 2021, Treatment Administration Record (TAR) revealed that there was no wound treatment for [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Clinical records failed to reveal that the wound treatment ordered by the wound physician on January 19, 2021's wound consult was not followed. Review of the wound physician consults dated January 26, 2021, revealed the right heel unstageable pressure ulcer had a measurement of 3.5 x 5.0 cm, no exudate, 100% thick adherent black necrotic tissue. The consult indicated that the wound was in an [CONDITION(S)] stage and was unable to progress to a healing phase because of the presence of a biofilm (composition of mixed strains of bacteria, fungi, [MEDICATION(S)], algae, microbes, and other cellular debris). The same consult revealed that a surgical excisional debridement procedure was performed to remove necrotic tissues and establish the margins of viable tissue. The resident agreed with the procedure. A wound treatment order to apply skin prep once daily was made by the wound physician. Review of the wound physician consult dated February 2, 2021, revealed the right heel unstageable pressure ulcer had a measurement of 4.0 x 5.0 cm, no exudate, and 100% thick adherent black necrotic tissue.

A wound treatment order to apply skin prep once daily was made by the wound physician. Review of the wound physician consult dated February 16, 2021, revealed a vascular wound of the right lateral leg with a measurement of 19. 0 x 4.0 x 0.3 cm. The right heel unstageable pressure ulcer had a measurement of 4.0 x 5.0 cm, no exudate, and 100% thick adherent black necrotic tissue. A wound treatment order to apply skin prep once daily was made by the wound physician. Review of January 2021 TAR failed to reveal that the wound treatment order made by the wound physician on January 19, January 26, and February 2, 2021, the consult was followed. There was no documented treatment made for Resident 36's right heel unstageable ulcer from January 19, 2021, until February 16, 2021. Review of the wound physician consult dated February 23, 2021, revealed that the right heel unstageable pressure ulcer had a measurement of 4.8 x 5.0 x 0.2 cm, no exudate, and 100% thick adherent black necrotic tissue. The wound progress was identified as deteriorated. A wound treatment order to apply skin prep was changed from daily to three times a day. Further review of Resident 36's January 2021, TAR revealed a wound treatment of [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . The skin prep treatment was applied to the left heel instead of the right heel where the unstageable pressure ulcer was located. Review of Resident 36's physician's orders [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . Clinical records review revealed that Resident 36's right heel unstageable pressure ulcer did not have a documented wound treatment from the time it was identified during the wound physician consult on January 19, 2021, until February 28, 2021. During that period, the right heel wound had increased in size (from 4.5 x 4.5 cm to 4.8 x 5.0 x 0.2 cm) and the wound progress was identified as deteriorated. An interview with the Director of Nursing on November 11, 2021, at 11:40 a.m., revealed that she was the wound nurse and was responsible for tracking the wounds. When questioned regarding Resident 36's right heel unstageable, necrotic pressure ulcer, identified by the wound physician on January 19, 2021's wound consult, the DON reported that the pressure ulcer was present on admission. The DON was unable to provide documented evidence during the survey that Resident 36 was admitted to the facility with an unstageable necrotic pressure ulcer to the right heel. The facility failed to perform scheduled skin checks to monitor skin condition of Resident 36, and failed to provide treatment to resident's identified right heel unstageable necrotic ulcer from the time it was identified on January 19, 2021, until February 28, 2021, resulting in wound deterioration as evidenced by increased in size. 28 Pa.

Employee E3 greeted the resident and informed her/him that a surveyor was present to observe, Resident 30 agreed to be observed but informed the nurse that she was not ready yet because she/he was still eating. Employee E3 politely asked the resident if she can take the medication, Resident 30 answered that she cannot take it all at once and would take it one at a time. Employee E3 informed the surveyor that she usually leaves the medication with the resident because it takes a while before she/he takes all the pills/tablets. The nurse left the room, prepared the roommate's medication then gave the medication to the roommate.
