1 findingBased on record review and interview, the facility failed complete daily dressing changes following a surgical repair of an ankle, resulting in the need for antibiotics and cancellation of a surgery to further repair and restore the function of the ankle for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for wound care in a sample of 3. (Resident #A) Findings include: The record of Resident A was reviewed on 11/1/12 at 11:00 a.m. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident A was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. An undated hospital "Discharge/Transfer Form," indicated Resident A had an Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgical procedure done to his left ankle on 9/18/12. It indicated "...Care Instructions...Daily Dressing changes cover incision with [MEDICATION NAME] soaked curity or [MEDICATION NAME] through window in cast (illegible) cover (with) gauze." This order had a line drawn through part of it and was written in 2 different appearing handwritings. A Hospital Discharge Summary, dated 9/21/12, indicated "...ORIF September 18, 2012, stage 1 surgery, still needing another surgery stage 2 in 2 weeks from now...Care Instruction: Daily dressing changes to left ankle/heel. Cover incision with [MEDICATION NAME] soaked Curity or [MEDICATION NAME] gauze that width...This patient will still need a second stage surgery for [REDACTED]. There was no documentation to indicate any dressing changes had been done on Resident A's left ankle surgical wound while he was at the facility. He was discharged from the facility on 10/2/12. During an interview with Unit Manager #1 on 11/1/12 at 1:40 p.m., she indicated wound care was not done at the facility for Resident A. During an interview with the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) on 11/1/12 at 1:45 p.m., she indicated the nurses assumed the part of the order about doing daily dressing changes, which had a single, slanted line going through it, was no longer applicable and the wound was just supposed to be kept covered with gauze. On 11/1/12 at 2:15 p.m., the DNS was observed talking on the telephone with the Physician's Assistant to the surgeon who performed the ORIF on Resident A's left ankle. She indicated, when the conversation was over, "They wanted daily dressing changes." During an interview on 11/1/12 at 4:00 p.m., with the Physician's Assistant to the surgeon who performed the ORIF on Resident A's left ankle on 9/18/12, he indicated the resident was seen by the physician shortly after his discharge from this nursing facility. He indicated at that office visit the left ankle wound was noted to be "macerated," "wet and wrinkly" and "draining" which "happens when dressings don't get changed." He indicated the resident was started on oral antibiotics at that time for 10 days. He indicated Resident A was seen again by the surgeon on 10/23/12. The antibiotics were not continued at that time. He indicated Resident A needed a second surgery 2-3 weeks after the first surgery because after the first wound has healed they can go back and better fixate the fracture from the opposite side. He indicated after a certain point it becomes impossible to easily manipulate the bones to get them into better position because they are too healed together. He indicated Resident A was not able to have this second surgery, as planned, because of having to wait so long for the original surgical wound to heal due to lack of dressing changes. During an interview with Resident A on 11/1/12 at 3:22 p.m., he indicated "They don't know what the next plan will be...They're not giving me a game plan...We missed the window where they could do it." (i.e. the second surgery) During an interview with the DNS on 11/1/12 at 2:15 p.m., she indicated "We should have clarified the dressing order." This federal tag relates to Complaint IN 744 3.1-37(a)
