Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide pressure ulcer care consistent with professional standards of practice for 1 of 5 sampled residents (#6) reviewed for pressure ulcers. As a result, Resident 6 developed multiple facility-acquired pressure ulcers and placed residents at risk for new and worsening pressure ulcers. Findings include: The 2019 NPIAP (National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel) guidelines indicated when an individual had a pressure injury a comprehensive initial assessment should be completed, treatment goals with input from the individual's informal caregivers set, and a treatment plan developed. The wound was to be re-assessed at least weekly to monitor the progress toward healing. Resident 6 admitted to the facility in 1/2025, with diagnoses of dementia and a right lower leg fracture. Resident 6 discharged from the facility on 5/6/25. Resident 6's 1/13/25 Nursing admission Evaluation indicated she/he wore a splint on her/his right lower leg and had no open skin areas. The 1/20/25 admission MDS Assessment indicated Resident 6 had no pressure ulcers, was at risk for developing pressure ulcers, needed partial assistance with bed mobility and was dependent on staff for wheelchair mobility. Resident 6's Pressure Ulcer CAA indicated she/he had no pressure ulcers and was at risk for developing pressure ulcers. The assessment did not include any risk factors that could contribute to the development of pressure ulcers. There was no Baseline Care Plan for Resident 6 to address the resident's skin or risk for pressure ulcers upon admission. Resident 6's 2/7/25 Skin Care Plan indicated she/he was at risk for skin breakdown related to a healing fracture to the right lower leg and dementia. The care plan indicated Resident 6 had pressure ulcers to the right medial foot and bilateral heels. Interventions included to assist the resident to turn and reposition as indicated and as tolerated. Resident 6's Skin and Wound Evaluations indicated the resident had the following wounds: 1) Right medial (inner side) foot pressure ulcer identified on 1/23/25. The resident's Wound Evaluations for 2/14/25, 2/24/25 and 4/3/25 had inaccurate information related to the staging and description of her/his pressure ulcer and incorrectly identified the resident's pressure ulcer as being present on admission. There were 11 missing weekly wound assessments from 1/24/25 through 5/6/25. 2) Right heel pressure ulcer, no date provided for when pressure ulcer was identified. The resident's Wound Evaluations for 2/14/25, 2/21/25, and 4/9/25 had inaccurate information related to the staging and description of the her/his pressure ulcer.

F940D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to implement and maintain an effective tracheostomy training program for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#19) reviewed for respiratory care. This placed residents at risk for inappropriate tracheostomy care and the potential for a decline in respiratory status. Findings include: Resident 19 admitted to the facility in 4/2024, with diagnoses including acute respiratory failure and tracheostomy (a surgical opening through the front of the neck and into the windpipe, which a tube is placed into the hole to keep it open for breathing).

A 5/5/25 Fire District Incident Report revealed EMS (Emergency Medical Services) responded to the facility for Resident 19 and observed Resident 19's humidifier tubing taped to the resident's bed. EMS noted if Resident 19 had moved, the humidified oxygen would have disconnected. In addition, EMS observed the resident's humidifier to be partially filled with water (having water in a tracheostomy tube would be similar to having water poured directly into the lungs and provides less available oxygen for a resident to breath). On 6/10/25 at 8:23 PM, Staff 15 (Agency LPN) stated she had not received any tracheotomy training from the facility. On 6/10/25 at 8:31 PM, Staff 16 (CMA) stated only the 100 hall nurse worked with Resident 19 and no other staff.

Additionally, Staff 12 stated he would ask different staff the same question about Resident 19 and get different answers. On 6/12/25 at 8:05 AM, Staff 19 (Agency LPN) verified she was Resident 19's nurse the morning she/he was transferred to the hospital. Staff 19 stated the facility gave her no tracheostomy training prior to working with Resident 19 and had told the Resident Care Manager (RCM) she had not had any hands-on experience with tracheotomies for over 10 years and did not feel qualified to care for any resident with a tracheotomy. Staff 19 stated she was told the resident's CNA would tell her what to check and when to check it, which is what occurred. Staff 19 stated she knew she needed more training but there was no one in the building to help her. Staff 19 was unable to recall the set-up of the humidified oxygen tubing. On 6/12/25 at 11:07 AM, Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (DNS) both stated they were unable to find any documentation to show staff were trained to care for a resident with a tracheotomy.

Resident 12 developed two stage 2 pressure ulcers (shallow partial thickness skin loss) to the coccyx and a deep tissue injury (Persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon or purple discoloration of intact skin due to damage of underlying soft tissue) to the heel which deteriorated to an unstageable ulcer (depth unable to be determined due to slough/nonviable tissue covering the base of the ulcer). Findings include: Resident 12 was admitted to the facility 1/13/23 with diagnoses including pneumonia. A 1/13/23 Scale for Prediction of Pressure Sore Risk form indicated Resident 12 was at risk for the development of pressure ulcers. A 1/13/23 Admission Nursing assessment indicated Resident 12 did not have skin impairments including pressure ulcers. The Skin Care Plan section was not marked as initiated on the form and goals were not selected which could have included to assist the resident to change position frequently and to float heels. A baseline care plan dated 1/14/23 did not include pressure ulcer prevention interventions. A Progress Note dated 1/24/23 indicated a 0.5 cm by 0.5 cm open area to the coccyx was identified. A 1/24/23 Skin investigation indicated a small open area was noted to the coccyx region. Predisposing factors included the resident was confused, incontinent, weak, had impaired memory and had a recent illness. On 2/13/23 at 12:19 PM Staff 6 (LPN Resident Care Manager) stated Resident 12 was admitted to the facility without pressure ulcers, was weak and was at risk for the development of pressure ulcers. Staff 6 acknowledged the baseline care plan did not have interventions for the prevention of pressure ulcers and the resident developed a Stage 2 pressure ulcer to the coccyx. A Progress Note dated 1/26/23 by the Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) revealed the resident had a Stage 2 pressure ulcer to the coccyx which was 4.5 cm by 1.3 cm and a new deep tissue pressure injury to the left lateral heel which was 3.3 cm by 3.7 cm. The resident was assessed to have poor ability to reposition and was incontinent. Recommendations included off-loading boots, repositioning and off-loading pressure areas. A Care Plan for potential impairment to skin integrity, pressure injury to left lateral heel and coccyx was not initiated until 1/30/23, six days after the identification of the Stage 2 pressure ulcer to the resident's coccyx and four days after the identification of the deep tissue injury to the foot. Interventions added on 1/30/23 included encourage resident to change position frequently and an air bed. It did not include to float heals or to use off-loading boots as recommended by the ARNP. On 2/9/23 at 9:22 AM and 2/13/23 at 12:59 PM Resident 12 was observed in her/his wheel chair with shoes on. The resident's off loading boots were on her/his bed. On 2/9/23 at 10:32 AM during an interview with Witness 1 (ARNP) and Staff 3 (RN), Witness 1 stated she first assessed Resident 12 on 1/26/23. Witness 1 stated facility staff always went with her when she provided care to Resident 12. She provided verbal recommendations to staff and usually documented the recommendations in the resident's record. The coccyx ulcer was larger on 1/26/23 compared to 1/24/23 because a new Stage 2 ulcer developed right above the original ulcer which was identified on 1/24/23. It was standard of practice for her to combine the measurements of two ulcers if the two ulcers were in the same area and if the ulcers would likely merge into one. Witness 1 acknowledged the resident had shoes on when she entered the room to do Resident 12's assessment and on her previous visit she notified staff the resident was not to wear shoes when out of bed, except for transfers, to prevent pressure on the heel ulcer. Witness 1 indicated the heel ulcer progressed from a deep tissue injury to an unstageable pressure ulcer since her last visit. The 2/9/23 ARNP note indicated the resident was to wear NO shoes except to stand and was to wear heel protector booties while up in a chair. The coccyx wound was assessed as improved. On 2/13/23 at 12:19 PM Staff 6 stated she was not at the facility on 2/9/23 when Witness 1 assessed Resident 12. Prior to 2/9/23, Staff 6 indicated she recalled having a conversation with Witness 1 which included the resident was not to wear shoes to decrease pressure to the heel. Staff 6 acknowledged the care plan was not updated for staff to float heels or to use off-loading boots. Staff 12 was not able to provide a date when the boots arrived to the facility.

The 12/22/19 faxed response from Witness 5 (Orthopedic Surgeon) revealed post-operative wounds with prolonged drainage have a higher risk of infection. If the drainage was noted and treated usually with irrigation and debridement the risk of a deep wound infection can be thwarted (prevented). The Progress Notes indicated the surgical incision was monitored daily from 9/18/19. The notes revealed the hip did not have signs of infection and was healing through 9/27/19. The 9/28/19 note by Staff 21 (RN) indicated the left hip incision had an area of slight dehiscence (surgical wound reopens) and had scant amount of serous drainage (pale transparent fluid). A dressing was placed over the incision. There was no note to indicate the surgeon was notified of the dehiscence or drainage per hospital discharge orders. On 12/13/19 at 10:30 AM Staff 21 stated the floor nurses administered medications, treatments, completed assessments, documented assessments and informed the unit manager if there were resident related concerns.

On 12/12/19 via email a request was made to Staff 5 (DNS) for the 10/4/19 physician visit assessment. Staff 5 indicated the physician gave verbal orders and a documented assessment was not found in the resident's record. The 12/22/19 faxed response from Witness 5 (Orthopedic Surgeon) revealed she was not notified of the drainage which was identified by the facility staff on 9/28/19, 10/2/19 and 10/4/19 until the orthopedic staff called the facility on 10/30/19 to arrange Resident 5's follow-up appointment. If notified of the drainage Witness 5 would have performed an irrigation and drainage and would have started IV antibiotics. The 12/22/19 faxed response also revealed Keflex could be an appropriate antibiotic for some post-operative infections, however; the typical practice was to perform an irrigation and drainage of the prosthetic joint. The Progress notes revealed the following: -10/5/19 and 10/6/19 incision had purulent drainage -10/7/19 Staff 18 (LPN Unit Manager) indicated she and Witness 9 (Former DNS) looked at the hip incision 10/6/19 and there was no purulent drainage and there was reddened areas where the surgical staples were located.

Witness 9 indicated she was not aware of the order to notify the orthopedic surgeon if the incision developed incisional drainage after 9/25/19. The Progress Notes revealed the following: -10/7/19 incision had scant sanguineous drainage (contains blood) -10/8/19 incision had serosanguinous drainage (light pink) -10/9/19 incision had minimal serous drainage -10/10/19 incision had scant purulent and serous drainage -10/11/19 no incision drainage -10/12/19 some serous drainage and antibiotic therapy was completed -10/13/19 no signs of infection -10/14/19 incision healing -10/15/19, 10/16/1910/17, 10/18/19, 10/19/19, 10/21/19, no drainage but slight scabbing to incision There were no progress notes related to the incision on 10/22/19, 10/23/19 10/24/19 or 10/25/19. The 10/26/19 Progress Note indicated the resident had purulent drainage at the top and to the bottom of the incision and Staff 24 (Facility Physician) prescribed an additional ten days of Keflex. There was no documentation to indicate the facility notified the orthopedic surgeon or obtained a culture and sensitivity of the wound to determine if Keflex would be effective against the infection. The Progress Notes revealed the following: -10/27/19 the resident did not have a fever, the incision line had a moderate amount of purulent drainage and the distal portion of the incision opened up. -10/28/19 incision with scant amount of drainage and the resident did not have a fever -10/29/19 scant drainage to incision -10/30/19 there was no drainage -10/31/19 no drainage, warmth and swelling. Slight pink. The 11/1/19 Orthopedic Surgery Encounter note indicated the resident had a surgical repair of a [MEDICAL CONDITION] and was in the clinic for a follow up visit. The orthopedic clinic staff called the facility on 10/30/19 and the facility informed the clinic staff the resident had a draining incision. The note indicated the facility physician (Staff 24) prescribed antibiotics on 10/26/19. The exam revealed the left incision had three areas which were not healed completely. The distal aspect of the incision had serous drainage. The central aspect of the wound had three small areas of eschar (dead tissue) which were three millimeters in diameter, the proximal aspect of the incision had a one cm long by four millimeter wide area of eschar and the areas were tender to touch. Unfortunately the resident's treatment was delayed for a draining hip incision. The resident's laboratory results showed an infection and was taken to surgery for [REDACTED]. The 11/22/19 Orthopedic Surgery note indicated Resident 5 had delayed drainage of the wound and was taken to surgery on 11/1/19 for irrigation and debridement. The resident was initially [MEDICATION NAME](antibiotic) and Keflex. The resident's wound was cultured and it was determined the infection was not susceptible to Keflex and the Keflex was changed to [MEDICATION NAME] (antibiotic). On 12/11/19 at 3:45 PM Witness 8 (Orthopedic Surgeon Medical Assistant) reported when Resident 5 was discharged from the hospital after hip surgery there were specific orders for the facility to notify the orthopedic surgeon if the surgical wound developed drainage after post-operative day ten. If the surgeon would have been notified the surgeon would have requested the resident be seen before the tenth week post surgery and would have obtained a wound culture. The facility physician did not perform a culture and the antibiotic the facility physician prescribed was not effective against the infection. The 12/22/19 faxed response from Witness 5 (Orthopaedic Surgeon) revealed the following: -A wound culture was not always standard of care for ten day post-operative drainage. A wound culture could be contaminated without obtaining a intra-operative culture which would be done at the time of the irrigation and drainage. The missed opportunity here was not having the opportunity on doing and I & (and) D. -It was possible if the wound would have been treated earlier with an I and D, followed by appropriate antibiotics determined by intraoperative cultures we could prevent this infection from being a deep prolonged infection. The 11/27/19 Short Stay Discharge Post Op Instructions for Witness 5 revealed Resident 5 required BID dressing changes and IV antibiotics for six weeks. The resident also required periodic blood draws to ensure the antibiotic dose was therapeutic. Resident 5's 9/18/19 post-operative orders directed staff to call the orthopedic surgeon if the resident's surgical incision had drainage after the tenth day post operatively; specifically 9/25/19. Resident 5's incision was first identified to have drainage on 9/28/19 and the facility did not notify the orthopedic surgeon for 32 days after the incision first developed drainage and only when the orthopedic surgical staff called the facility to arrange for the first post-operative follow-up examination. The resident required two I and Ds and on 11/27/19 was started on a six week course of IV antibiotics. 2. Resident 14 admitted to the facility in 2019 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The 11/5/19 admission orders [REDACTED] * Aspirin 81 mg (supplement) every morning * Check blood pressure daily * cyanbalamin chewable 2500 mcg (supplement) tablet daily *[MEDICATION NAME] 125 mcg (heart failure medication) daily * [MEDICATION NAME] Allergy Relief Suspension 50 mcg (allergy medication) daily * [MEDICATION NAME] 20 meq (potassium supplement) daily * [MEDICATION NAME] 40 mg (diuretic medication) daily * [MEDICATION NAME] 10 mg (cholesterol medication) every evening * [MEDICATION NAME] 1 teaspoon (bowel medication) daily * Vitamin D3 2000 units (supplement) daily * [MEDICATION NAME] 12 hour 600 mg (mucus [MEDICATION NAME]) twice daily * 2.0 Calorie Med Pass 90 ml (nutritional supplement) three times daily The (MONTH) 2019 MARs revealed no scheduled medications were administered on 11/14/19. Additionally Resident 14's blood pressure was not checked and the 2.0 Calorie Med Pass was not administered per physician orders. The 11/14/19 Progress Note revealed during a chart review it was noted Resident 14's medications were placed on hold when Resident 14 transferred to the hospital on [DATE] and the medications were not re-activated when Resident 14 returned to the facility in the late evening of 11/13/19.

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to provide clinical justification for the deterioration of a facility acquired Stage 4 pressure ulcer and accurately assess and monitor pressure ulcers for 3 of 6 sampled residents (#s 32, 36 and 77) reviewed for pressure ulcers and skin conditions. This resulted in the deterioration of Resident 36's wound and placed residents at risk for pressure ulcers. Findings include: 1. Resident 36 was admitted to the facility in 2015 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The 9/19/16 Quarterly MDS indicated Resident 36 was at risk for developing a pressure ulcer and did not have a current pressure ulcer. The Pressure Ulcer Care Plans dated 12/29/14 and 8/2/15 indicated Resident 36 had impaired skin integrity/worsening with a history of shearing to the buttocks. Interventions included a cushion for her/his wheelchair, a pressure reduction mattress on the bed, offer toileting before and/or after meals, upon waking and at night, encourage frequent position changes, monitor nutritional status at NAR (Nutrition at Risk) per protocol, obtain and apply treatment as ordered and PT/OT evaluation for repositioning and pressure reduction as needed. An incident investigation dated 12/13/16 indicated Resident 36 was found to have an open area on her/his coccyx measuring 2 cm by 2 cm by 0.2 cm. The wound bed was pink with a dark spot noted at the top of the wound and the area around the wound was blanchable. Resident 36 denied any pain or discomfort and the area was cleansed with normal saline, the skin was prepped around the wound and the area was covered with a Tegafoam (adhesive foam dressing). The physician was notified for treatment. Current interventions included barrier cream to the area. Mobility, cognition and positioning were contributing factors. Resident 36 was dependent for positioning and shear factors. A physician order [REDACTED]. On 1/22/16 Resident 36's Pressure Ulcer care plan was updated to include the following intervention, Resident often refuses and cries that (she/he) wants to only be on (her/his) back. Educate resident often the risk of skin breakdown. A progress note dated 2/6/17 indicated Resident 36's wound was not improving and new treatment orders were requested. On 2/11/17 the new treatment orders were obtained to include cleanse with normal saline, pat dry, apply small amount of mupirocin (topical antibiotic) ointment to wound bed, cover with Allevyn (adhesive foam dressing). Change every other day and PRN until resolved. A NAR note dated 2/7/17 revealed large portions, protein and multivitamin with minerals to be started to better meet the resident's estimated nutritional needs of 1600-1800 calories, 50-70 grams of protein for healing. A NAR note dated 2/20/17 indicated Resident 36 continued with shearing wound at coccyx and the wound was not healed. The physician would be consulted for a possible consult to the wound clinic. Physician orders [REDACTED]. A wound care clinic noted dated 3/16/17 indicated a Stage 4 (Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often includes tunneling and undermining) sacral wound. The wound clinic directed the facility to: keep pressure off, order a wound vac and provided new wound care orders. Subsequent wound care clinic notes through 6/14/17 indicated a Stage 4 sacral wound. On 8/1/17 and 8/8/10 Resident 36's Skin Grid Sheets for pressure ulcers from 1/27/17 through 8/3/17 were provided. No skin sheets prior to 1/27/17 were provided. The Skin Sheets indicated they were to be completed weekly and revealed the following: * The first entry on the skin sheet dated 1/27/17 indicated a Stage 2 pressure ulcer (Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as shallow open ulcer with a red or pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured blister). The date the pressure ulcer was first identified was not indicated. * On 2/6/17 the pressure ulcer was staged at a level 2. Subsequent weekly assessments through 7/21/17 did not indicate the stage of the pressure ulcer. * The 2/17/17 entry was four days late. * The 5/2/17 entry was 17 days late, the 5/13/17 entry was four days late and the 5/25/17 entry was five days late. * The 7/14/17 entry was two days late and indicated 100% granulation. On 7/21/17 the wound was noted with 30% slough and improved. * On 7/27/17 the pressure ulcer was staged at a level 3 (Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle is not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of the tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling). On 7/13/16 Resident 36's Pressure Ulcer care plan was updated to include, when (Resident 36) start (sic) to whine and or cry sometimes (she/he) wants to go to the (bathroom) but has difficulty expressing (her/himself), offer toileting at this time. No other care plan updates related to the pressure ulcer were included after 7/1/3/16. No RN assessment of the pressure ulcer was found in the medical record which included evaluation of the resident's clinical condition, implementation of the care planned interventions and/or the need to revise those interventions and, it was not determined if the pressure ulcer was avoidable. The resident was on hospice and passed away at the facility on 8/7/17 without an opportunity for a nurse surveyor to observe the resident's wound. On 8/4/17 at 2:43 pm Staff 41 (CNA) stated when she first worked with Resident 36 two and a half years ago the resident was a two person assist for care, talkative and outgoing.

On 8/7/17 at 9:11 am Staff 11 (CNA) stated Resident 36 was fully dependent for care and was that way for awhile. Prior to Resident 36's decline staff got her/him up with a hoyer and provided all care. On 8/7/17 at 11:53 am Staff 16 (LPN) stated Resident 36's dressing was done that day and the wound looked about the same. Staff 16 stated she could feel bone inside the wound, the tissue was granulated and was a stage 4. Staff 16 stated a week earlier the wound was a Stage 4, the peri area was pink, there was a lot of red drainage with odor and no tunneling. On 8/8/17 at 11:43 am Staff 12 (CNA) stated Resident 36 was less alert and experienced changes in her/his ability to communicate about two months ago. Staff 12 stated she repositioned Resident 36 every two hours and the resident preferred one side over the other. Resident 36 was dependent for all care. As Resident 36 declined staff would get her/him out of bed if the resident wanted to but toward the end she/he did not want to get up. On 8/10/17 at 7:46 am Staff 20 (RN) stated Resident 36 had a wound vac at one point and it was discontinued when the resident was admitted to hospice. Staff 36 did not know when the wound first developed or if a pressure relieving mattress was in place. Staff 36 stated Resident 36 was compliant with repositioning. On 8/10/17 at 9:11 am Staff 44 (CNA) stated Resident 36 had a wound vac, he repositioned Resident 36 and used pillows to keep to try and keep pressure off her/his coccyx area. Staff 44 stated Resident 36 did not refuse repositioning. On 8/10/17 Staff 12 (CNA) stated she was unable to recall when Resident 36's pressure ulcer developed but it had been there for quite some time. At the time the pressure ulcer developed Resident 36 was more alert and got out of bed but for the past two months was bedbound. Staff 36 stated the resident had a wheelchair cushion but could not recall if there was an air mattress. Staff 12 stated she repositioned the resident and would prop the resident off her/his back with pillows under her/his hips and alternate the resident onto her/his sides. Staff 12 stated if the resident was left too long the side of her/his face would swell, if she/he was repositioned every two hours no swelling occurred. Staff 12 stated during the time Resident 36 was bedbound she found the resident's face swollen on one side three different times and reported to the charge nurse that the night shift needed to reposition the resident more frequently.

Findings include: Resident 77 was admitted to the facility in 9/2012 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The resident had also experience complications from [MEDICAL CONDITION] bypass surgery in previous years. A 10/1/12 Mood Care Plan identified target behaviors of staying in bed, crying and refusal of care or rehabilitation as symptoms of her depression and anxiety. Non-pharmalogical approaches to address her mood issues included family presence and to let her " vent " to staff. A 12/30/12 Nurses note identified that on 12/29/13 the resident had made remarks to the speech therapist about suicide and that she knew how to do it. The resident was placed on 15 minute checks and social service was notified. On 1/2/13, a referral for a PASRR level II Evaluation (a mental health evaluation) was made based on the resident ' s signs and symptoms of depression including suicidal ideation, self-reported depressed mood, sad affect and break through pain. Per the 1/8/13 PASRR report, the resident had told staff that she was in constant pain and could " no longer stand to live this way." Contributing factors to her mood issues were identified as the sale of her home and business, and the discontinuation of her narcotic pain medication. At the time of the evaluation, the resident identified feeling depressed with suicidal ideation and admitted that she had thought about " throwing up and choking " on her vomit. Pain on her left side was identified as a 7-10 on a 0 to 10 pain scale with heat therapy and hot baths of assistance in easing pain. PASRR level II treatment recommendations included: - Referral to a pain management specialist as chronic pain could contribute to her depressed mood and " significantly impact quality of life " - Psychiatric hospitalization (resident agreed that she would benefit from this) - Ongoing counseling services to deal with the loss and cope with the new disability - Medication management by a mental health professional - To avoid additional stress, staff needed to be especially vigilant and responsive to her care needs - Solicit feedback from the resident regarding her voiced need for a specialized diet due to [MEDICAL CONDITION] bypass surgery - Try to identify " soothing " activities to offer during periods of agitation/anxiety - Attempt to spend a few minutes socializing to promote positive mood, increased rapport and allow for expressions of concerns/fears - Give choices whenever possible - Promote a relaxed, calm environment to help reduce stress and anxiety.

An Admission Status form dated 2/11/11 indicated the resident had 2+ [MEDICAL CONDITION] to all extremities and had a knee immobilizer on the left knee/leg. A Pressure Ulcer Risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated the resident was at high risk for developing pressure ulcers. However the assessment did not include the use of the knee immobilizer as a risk factor. "Presence of [MEDICAL CONDITION]" was coded as 1+ present.

Staff 3, the head physical therapist, would adjust the brace and tighten it, but he couldn't get all the staff to do it right. On the day the pressure ulcer was discovered, the therapist came to get the resident up, and Witness 2 stated there was blood and pus on the sheets, and the sore was right where the brace would hit. Staff put a dressing over it, but it got worse, and they had to send the resident to the wound clinic.
