The assessment documented the resident was repositioned side to side every two hours and as needed. On 06/07/22 at 1:50 p.m., LPN #1 was observed to perform a dressing change on resident #3 with the assistance of CNA #1. The over-bed table held a cup labeled normal saline, a small soufflé cup labeled zinc and another labeled [NAME] (an antifungal cream), loose 4x4 gauze, and a [MEDICATION(S)] dressing. The LPN and CNA positioned the resident onto their left side. Without sanitizing or washing their hands, the LPN donned gloves and removed the old dressing from the resident's coccyx. There was small dried brown and black flakes observed on the loose folds of the resident's buttocks with larger streaks of dried brown and black present on the lower half of the buttocks. The resident's right calf was observed to have a red area approximately the size of a nickel. The LPN was asked what the brown and black flakes and streaks were on the resident's buttocks. The LPN stated they did not know but it did not come off of the resident. With the same gloved hands, the LPN obtained saline soaked 4x4 gauze, dabbed at the wound bed, then dabbed onto the area of intact skin with the brown and black flakes, and then dabbed onto the wound bed again. The LPN discarded the used 4x4 gauze and retrieved another saline soaked gauze from the cup. The LPN again dabbed at the wound bed, swept the saline soaked gauze across a streak of dried brown substance, across a reddened area located on the left buttocks, and back into the wound bed. The LPN discarded the used wet 4x4 gauze. With the same gloved hands, the LPN pat dried the area with dry 4x4 gauze. The LPN entered the wound bed with the dry 4x4 gauze, then pat dried the areas of the buttocks wet with saline, pat dried the brown and black flakes and streaks, the reddened area of the left buttock, and then went back onto the wound bed with the same gauze. The LPN discarded the dry gauze and repeated the action with another dry 4x4 gauze, dabbing across the brown streaks and back into the wound. Without changing her gloves, the LPN applied zinc paste to the macerated peri-wound area using a cotton tipped applicator. The [MEDICATION(S)] dressing was applied over the coccyx wound with a portion of the adhesive border atop the zinc paste and macerated skin. The LPN removed their gloves and donned another pair from their pocket without sanitizing or washing their hands. CNA #1 was observed to wipe the resident's buttocks with an incontinence wipe and remove the brown and black substance from the resident's buttocks. LPN #1 was observed to apply an antifungal cream to the resident's buttocks with her gloved hand. The resident was repositioned on their back. LPN #1 was asked what the brown and black substance was which was observed on the resident's buttocks. They stated it was dried feces. The LPN was asked how they assessed the wound.

The LPN was asked if there were other skin issues with resident #3. They stated they did not know. The LPN returned to the resident's room and assisted the resident onto their left side. A partial edge of pale blue bruise was observed on the resident's left calf. The LPN observed the resident's back, buttocks, and legs and stated there were no other skin issues observed. The LPN was asked about the resident's left leg. The LPN lifted the resident's left leg and a large, black area, surrounded by blue and red colored skin, was observed on the back of the resident's left calf. The LPN was asked about the area on the left calf. They stated it was a large deep tissue injury but did not know how the resident obtained the injury. The LPN repositioned the resident onto their right side. A reddened area, with two open areas, was observed on the resident's left hip/buttock. The LPN was asked about the open areas on the left hip/buttock. They stated it was two stage II pressure ulcers. The LPN was asked if they were aware of the two deep tissue injuries on the resident's lower legs or the two stage II pressure ulcers on the resident's left hip/buttock prior this observation.
