1 finding
F314H · Actual harm, pattern

Based on observation, record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infection and the development of new pressure ulcers sores were provided for 1 (Resident #1) of 2 (Residents #1 and 17) case mix residents who had or were at risk for pressure ulcers, as evidenced by: failure to ensure Resident #1's physician was immediately consulted and wound care was restarted for a pressure ulcer to the coccyx after a readmission from the hospital; failure to ensure Resident #1's pressure ulcers were assessed at least weekly, to include measurements, staging and a description of the condition of wound bed and surrounding tissue, drainage and odor to enable tracking of healing progress or deterioration; failure to ensure Resident #1 was repositioned at least every 2 hours to prevent potential deterioration of a Stage II pressure ulcer to the coccyx; failure to ensure incontinent care was provided at least every two hours and an alternating air mattress was properly inflated for Resident #1 to prevent further potential skin breakdown; and, failure to ensure the physician was consulted regarding deterioration or lack of healing progress on pressure ulcers to Resident #1's heels. These failed practices resulted in a pattern of actual harm for Resident #1, who experienced deterioration in pressure ulcers to both heels and the coccyx, and had the potential to cause more than minimal harm for 4 residents with pressure ulcers, as documented on a list provided by the Administrator on 4/26/13 at 8:30a.m. The facility also failed to ensure pressure relief boots were consistently applied in accordance with the physician's orders [REDACTED].#3) of 4 (Residents #3, #11, #17 and #19) case mix residents who had physician's orders [REDACTED].

The DON stated, "No." The DON was asked, "If a low air loss mattress on a resident's bed is not functioning properly, what should happen?" The DON stated, "Find the maintenance man to see if it's anything he can fix. If he cannot fix it, get ahold of (name of company) our supply company; if it's deflated, place a pressure reducing mattress on the bed until we get the new one." The DON was asked, "If a resident with a Stage III pressure ulcer on the coccyx is on a low air loss mattress and the resident's bottom is touching the springs through the air mattress, would you consider the mattress to be properly inflated?"

The assessment will be completed by the charge nurse and/or admitting nurse. 6. Every pressure ulcer that is found to be not healing within 2-4 weeds will have an analysis of the treatment plan. The charge nurse and/or QA (Quality Assurance) nurse will analyze the treatment plan to include, but not limited to, the treatment order, care plan, adherence to the treatment plan, pressure relief in bed and/or chair, heel relief, nutritional intake, signs of infection, etc (et cetera). The medical record should reflect a treatment plan analysis at two weeks for non-healing ulcers and reflect a change in the treatment plan within 4 weeks of non-healing ulcers. The charge nurse and/or QA nurse will notify the treating physician about any ulcers that are found not to be healing within the 2-4weeks based on either the weekly ulcer assessment and/or PUSH (Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing) graph ..." 2. Resident #3 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. a. A physician's orders [REDACTED]." b. The Care Plan updated 1/28/13 documented, "Risk for skin breakdown due to total dependence for all positioning and total incontinence ...
