F686G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observations, record review and interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the necessary care was provided to prevent the development and worsening of pressure ulcers for one (#65) of four sampled residents who were reviewed for pressure ulcers. This resulted in the resident developing an unstageable pressure ulcer to the right calf and the progression of a blister into an unstageable necrotic pressure ulcer to the right heel. The facility identified six residents who resided in the facility with pressure ulcers. Findings: Resident #65 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A physician's orders [REDACTED]. She was to be non-weight bearing on the right lower extremity. An admission data assessment, data 02/18/19, documented the residents skin was intact. A care plan, developed on 02/18/19, documented measures will be taken to prevent skin breakdown. The staff was to inspect the skin daily with care and bathing, and report any changes to the charge nurse. A skin data form, dated 02/19/19, documented the resident had a blister on her right heel and no wounds. A nurse's note, dated 02/19/19, documented a large blister to the right heel was observed while completing the admission skin assessment. The blister was noted to be intact with redness around the heel. A new order was received to apply skin prep to bilateral heels daily. Daily skilled notes, from 02/19/19 through 02/22/19, documented the resident had no blisters, no wounds and no open [MEDICAL CONDITION]. An admission assessment, dated 02/25/19, documented the resident's cognition was intact, she required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers and ambulation, and was at risk for pressure ulcers. The resident had one unstageable pressure ulcer with suspected deep tissue injury (SDTI) in evolution which was documented as present upon admission/entry. A skin data form, dated 02/25/19, documented the resident had no blisters and no wounds. A daily skilled note, dated 02/25/19, documented the resident had no blisters, no wounds and no open [MEDICAL CONDITION]. A wound evaluation and summary, dated 02/25/19, documented the resident was seen by the wound physician for treatment of [REDACTED]. The pressure ulcer measured 4.1 x 2.8 x not measurable centimeters (cm) with a surface area of 11.48. The care plan, updated on 02/26/19, documented the resident had a pressure ulcer to the right heel. Staff was to inspect the skin from head to toe weekly, inspect and chart skin integrity daily, and assess the skin under and around the edges of the splint/brace. The resident was to be positioned properly using pressure-reducing devices if indicated. Daily skilled notes, from 02/26/19 through 03/01/19, documented the resident had no blisters, no wounds and no open [MEDICAL CONDITION]. A progress note from the orthopedic physician, dated 02/27/19, documented the resident was seen in the office. X-rays were taken and displacement was observed to the right tibial fracture. The physician documented it was unknown if the resident had been walking on the leg since she had left the hospital. The resident was to continue to wear the brace, non-weight bearing on the right leg and follow-up in four weeks. A skin data form, dated 03/04/19, documented the resident had wounds and open [MEDICAL CONDITION] to the right foot and to the right leg. The form documented the resident was seen by the wound physician and new orders were received. The wound summary, dated 03/04/19, documented the resident was seen by the wound physician for treatment of [REDACTED]. The pressure ulcer of the heel measured 5.3 x 2.5 x not measurable centimeters (cm) with a surface area of 13.25 and required debridement (a surgical procedure to remove the thick adherent eschar and devitalized tissue). The physician ordered to float the heels in bed and recommended an EZ boot (helps eliminate pressure on the heel) to be worn in bed and the chair to off-load the wound. The pressure ulcer of the right, lateral calf had light sero-sanguinous exudate and measured 12.0 x 7.0 x not measurable cm with a surface area of 84.00. The EZ boot was not observed to be worn by the resident while in the bed or in the chair. A nurse's note, dated 03/06/19, documented the wound to the right, lateral calf appeared to be worsening due to the placement of the brace causing pressure. The wound care orders were changed and the brace was re-adjusted to the leg and applied properly. A nurse's note, dated 03/08/19 at 3:04 p.m., documented the wound to the right lower extremity appeared to be declining due to the brace and the resident had complaints of pain with movement of the leg. The orthopedic physician's follow-up appointment was moved to an earlier date. A nurse's note, dated 03/08/19 at 8:43 p.m., documented the nurse practitioner was in the facility and ordered antibiotics and wound care for the unstageable wound to the heels. A progress note from the orthopedic physician, dated 03/11/19, documented the resident was seen for a reevaluation.
