F314G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on record review and interview, it was determined the facility failed to implement interventions to prevent the development of avoidable pressure ulcers for one (#7) of three residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. Within four weeks of admission, the resident, who was admitted to the facility with no pressure ulcers, had developed two stage 2 pressure ulcers, and within five weeks of admission, the resident developed two more stage 2 pressure ulcers, resulting in harm. This had the potential to affect 13 residents the facility identified to be at risk for the development of pressure ulcers. Findings: Resident #7 was admitted to the facility with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A nursing assessment, dated 10/03/16, documented areas of redness were present beneath the left breast and to the right and left perineal areas. An admission assessment, dated 10/10/16, documented the resident had no cognitive impairment, required extensive assistance with bed mobility, was at risk for the development of pressure ulcers and had no pressure ulcers. The assessment documented moisture associated skin damage was present. The care plan, dated 10/11/16, documented the resident was at risk for altered skin integrity. Interventions included weekly skin assessments were to be performed and the resident was to be turned and repositioned every two hours. There was no documentation the resident's skin had been assessed weekly from 10/03/16 through 10/31/16. The October and November 2016 ADL (Activities of Daily Living) sheets had no documentation the resident had been turned and repositioned every two hours. On 10/31/16, a 'Weekly Pressure Ulcer Report' documented an open area to the resident's left superior buttock measuring 2.5 cm (centimeter) x 1.2 cm x 0.1 cm, (width x length x depth) and an open area to the right superior buttock measuring 4.6 cm x 2.5 cm x 0.1 cm, both pink in color to the wound bed. A physician's telephone order documented, low air loss mattress d/t (due to) skin breakdown . On 11/01/16, a physician's telephone order documented the resident was to begin receiving Vitamin C and Zinc supplements. These supplements are used to increase nutritional status when pressure ulcers are present to assist with the healing process. On 11/03/16, the care plan was updated to include the following additional interventions: ~wheelchair cushion, ~low air loss mattress, ~vitamin c and zinc as ordered and ~Hydrogel treatments to the left and right buttocks daily There was no documentation in the nurse's notes from 10/03/16 through 11/03/16 the resident had been turned and repositioned every two hours. On 11/03/16, a weekly pressure ulcer progress report documented an open area to the right inferior buttock measuring 0.4 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.1 cm and an open area to the left inferior buttock measuring 0.5 cm x 0.2 cm x 0.1 cm, both yellow in color to the wound bed.
