The MDS identified the resident as requiring extensive assist of two persons for bed mobility and transfers and no ambulation capabilities. Further review of the MDS assessment indicated that the resident was at risk for pressure ulcer (localized damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue that usually occur over a bony prominence as a result of pressure) development. Review of Resident 126's progress notes revealed a note from the wound nurse, Employee E8, on (MONTH) 5, (YEAR), stating This resident was assessed by this wound nurse today. (Resident) presents with an unstageable pressure area (localized areas of tissue necrosis (dead tissue) that typically develop when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a long period of time. Ulcers covered with slough (non-viable yellow or white tissue that adheres to the ulcer bed in strings or thick clumps) or eschar (dead tissue that sheds or falls off from healthy skin) are by definition unstageable) to the coccyx, measuring 3.0 x 3.5 x 0.1cm (centimeters) 75% yellow (slough) and 25% black soft eschar with serosanguinous (drainage that is both pale yellow and bloody) and no odor and positive for pain. Recommendations to cleanse coccyx with NSS (normal saline solution) pat dry apply skin prep (treatment used to prevent further breakdown from occurring) to periwound (area surrounding the wound) then apply nickel size (amount) of Santyl (ointment that breaks down dead tissue allowing healthy tissue to grow) cover with a sacral dressing change daily and PRN (as needed). Also please order an air mattress.

F323G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on a review of clinical records, facility documentation, and interviews with facility staff it was determined that the facility failed to assure that safety devices were in place for one of seven residents reviewed who was ambulated in a wheelchair, resulting in actual harm to the resident. (Resident: R1) Findings include: A review of Resident R1's admission physician note of January 13, 2011 indicated that the resident was being admitted to the facility after sustaining a left leg fracture and a pelvic fracture. Further review of the resident's clinical record showed evidence of a comprehensive assessment completed on the resident on April 12, 2011 that indicated the resident required the assistance of two staff for transfer, and required the extensive assistance of one staff for ambulation. The assessment went on to indicate that the resident had limited mobility to one side of her lower extremities, and required a wheelchair, or walker for ambulation. Review of the resident's current plan of care for activities of daily living further documented that the resident required extensive assistance with activities of daily living related to her decreased mobility. A review of facility documentation on May 5, 2011 indicated that the resident was taken from the bingo activity in her wheelchair without leg rests to her room. The facility investigation further indicated that the resident was being transported to her room by a member of the therapy department to obtain her leg rests. During the transport back to her room the resident was noted to drop her foot under her wheelchair causing her to scuff her left toe underneath the wheelchair. Further review of the investigation indicated a statement from a nurse on the unit that day, that documented a communication with the therapy department later that afternoon. The witness further indicated that the resident was expressing that she had some pain while receiving therapy related services and that they believed that the resident was trying to get out of therapy treatment that day. A nurses note on May 6, 2011 indicated that the therapy notified the nurse on this day that the resident had some pain during therapy and was noted to have a bruise to her left ankle area and that this area was bruised and swollen. Physician orders [REDACTED]. Review of the x-ray report completed on May 6, 2011 indicated that the the resident had a transverse fracture of the distal tibula (inner larger leg bone extending from the knee to the distal ankle) and fibula (outer larger leg bone) just above the ankle joint. Interview with Employee E4, a member of the therapy staff, on May 6, 2011 at 11:50 a.m. found that the resident had always used foot rests during transport, that she should have had the foot rests in place, and that the foot rests were initially implemented on her first evaluation by the physical therapy department. The facilities failure to assure that foot rests were properly in place for ambulation of this resident in the wheelchair, resulted in the resident dragging her foot during transport, and sustaining actual harm to the resident in the form of a left ankle fracture. 28 Pa.
