A Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], assessed the resident as having memory deficits, no behaviors that interfered with care, requiring extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility, limited assistance with transfers and ambulation with a walker, and extensive assistance with dressing and hygiene. The MDS indicated the resident was at risk for developing pressure ulcers. Review of the nurses notes revealed the resident had been up and about using a merry-walker. On 06/22/11 at 2:00 P.M., the nurse documented Resident #29 was exhibiting lethargy. On 07/06/11 at 12:22 P.M., the nurse documented the resident had a 100.3 degree Fahrenheit (F) fever and was in bed sleeping most of the shift. The resident was noted to be out of the facility for a CT scan on 07/07/11 and was administered an injection of an antibiotic. On 07/07/11, the resident was noted to be in bed at 1:54 P.M. and 6:09 P.M. as he was undergoing urological testing. Further review of the nurses notes on 07/08/11 at 9:28 A.M., documented Resident #29 had "a few red spots newly opened superficial noted on bottom". A topical treatment of [REDACTED]. The first documented assessment of the open areas regarding a description of the pressure ulcer was not completed until 07/10/11, two days later. The nurses note dated 07/10/11 at 12:35 A.M., documented the area as a Stage I pressure area with open denuded (exposed by erosion) skin to the coccyx and bilateral lower buttocks. (A Stage I is actually defined as intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence.) According to the definition, this pressure ulcer was not a Stage I due to the skin being open and not intact. A Stage 2 pressure ulcer is defined by a partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red or pink wound bed without slough. There were no documented measurements of the open areas in the nurses notes, treatment records or on any other form available to the staff. On 07/10/11, the nurses note indicated a physician telephone order dated 07/10/11 was received for the "Stage 1 denuded right and left buttocks/coccyx". The order was for [MEDICATION NAME] ointment twice daily until healed. There was no further documentation of the area in the nurses notes until 07/13/11 at 9:45 A.M. At this time, it was documented the buttocks/coccyx wound area increased with blue, redness and dimensions. There was no measurements documented and no evidence the physician or family was notified of the worsening of the pressure sore condition. Review of the physician order [REDACTED]. Review of the untitled wound form dated 07/17/11, documented the first assessment of measurements, nine days after discovery. The wound was documented as 3.3 centimeters (cm) in length by 2.2 cm. in width, with no depth measured. There was no stage documented. The wound was described as having "yellow slough, slightly moist with drainage and odor, surrounding tissue open and reddened, blue". The next measurement of 07/24/11, documented a "questionable Kennedy ulcer" as a Stage 2. The wound was documented as having "slough" in the center and had enlarged to 3.8 cm. in length by 3.1 cm. in width, with no depth measured. On 07/31/11, the pressure ulcer was "unstageable" measuring 10 cm. in length by 7.0 cm. in width. The inside center slough area had a moderate amount of yellow gray drainage and odor with surrounding tissue red. (A Stage 3 pressure ulcer is defined as full thickness tissue loss. Subcutanious fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle is not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling.) Documentation revealed on 08/01/11, a [DEVICE] was initiated. The last documented measurement of the wound was documented on 08/06/11. The area measured 13.5 cm. in length by 12.8 cm. in width with "yellow slough and eschar and moderate drainage". The surveyor did not request removal of the wound vac for measurements on 08/11/11. Observations made by two surveyors on 08/09/11 at 1:55 P.M., 3:10 P.M., 4:35 P.M., 5:35 P.M., and 6:10 P.M., revealed the resident was positioned on his back, without significant relief of pressure to the coccyx area for a period of 4 hours and 15 minutes. The resident was laying on the air mattress with a thin bed pillow under his right arm. Review of the plan plan of care (undated) noted the open wound "Kennedy Ulcer". Interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #7 (plan of care nurse) on 08/11/11 at 9:00 A.M., verified she could not state the date the plan of care for the sacral ulcer was initiated. She verified an air mattress was initiated 07/22/11, however, was not noted on the care plan. She verified there were no interventions for turning and repositioning off of the back or side to side upon the resident's gradual decline in June 2011, or after the pressure sore developed. She revealed the plans of care for pressure ulcers all state "actual/potential pressure ulcers" and the interventions are generalized and not revised with individualized interventions specific to the residents' needs. She stated she had just started to use point click care for documentation of pressure ulcers and was not sure how to date or add revisions. She verified that she had not attempted to update the printed plans by writing the new dated revisions with a pen. She stated any revised care plans would be kept in the computer for the nurses to review, but that the State tested Nurse Aides (STNA) did not have access to the care plans. She verified the STNA's use a hand written list for devices on each unit. She further stated she could not produce a plan of care to address prevention of pressure ulcers prior to July 2011. Interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 08/11/11 at 8:00 A.M., verified the resident was placed on Hospice due to a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. She revealed the resident had become bed bound early in July 2011 due to a gradual decline in mobility and back pain. She stated the Hospice nurses told her the resident had a "Kennedy" ulcer on his sacral area which made it unavoidable. She stated she was not initially aware of what a Kennedy ulcer was, but accepted the Hospice diagnosis. (Online definitions of "Kennedy Ulcers" at www.bedsorefaq.com/what-is-a-Kennedy-terminal ulcer revealed Kennedy ulcers develop when people are dying and/or succumbing to death within 24-48 hours of their onset. The Kennedy ulcers may form a blister to a Stage 4 within 4 hours.) Further interview with the DON revealed she had interviewed the staff who were to be repositioning Resident #29 on 08/09/11. The staff told her they tried to reposition him, but were not able to maintain the position with the thin bed pillow. She verified the staff had not attempted the use of a firmer wedge cushion or bolster to assist the resident to maintain significant repositioning off of the affected sacral area for comfort and healing. Further review of the medical record for Resident #29 revealed he developed an unstageable right heel ulcer after the sacral ulcer. Nurses notes dated 07/15/11 at 10:45 A.M., revealed a "new area on the right heel, slightly boggy" measuring 2.0 cm. in length and 1.8 cm. in width, medium blue/red. Interview with RN #7 on 08/11/11 at 9:00 A.M., verified there was no preventive care plan developed for prevention of heel ulcers upon risk. She further verified there was no acute care plan developed to address the treatment and care of the right heel ulcer. Review of documented assessments on the Treatment Administration Records (TAR) dated 07/15/11, 07/21/11, 07/28/11 and 08/06/11 revealed the area was increasing in size on the right heel. On 08/06/11, the heel wound measured 2.6 cm. in length by 2.7 cm. in width and was blue/brown in color and boggy to the touch. Review of a telephone order dated 07/15/11, revealed a heel lift boot to the right foot at all times. The plan of care was not revised to include this new intervention and there was no documented evidence the resident's spouse was notified of the new treatment. Two surveyors observed Resident #29 on 08/09/11 at 1:55 P.M., 3:10 P.M., 4:35 P.M., 5:35 P.M. and 6:10 P.M., and on 08/10/11 at 8:30 A.M., 9:55 A.M., 10:55 A.M., 12:05 P.M., 1:35 P.M., 3:10 P.M., 4:00 P.M., 5:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. During these observation times, Resident #29 was laying in bed with heel protector bows applied, not heel lift devices and the feet were directly on the air mattress. Observation of Resident #29 on 08/11/11 at 7:15 A.M., revealed the resident was in bed with heel lift devices applied and the heels were still directly on the mattress with a thin bed pillow under the resident's legs. Interview with the DON on 08/11/11 at 7:15 A.M., revealed between 08/10/11 and 08/11/11 she had obtained a set of heel lift devices and inserviced staff on the use of the boots early in the morning on 08/11/11. She then verified that the heel lift devices were applied, but the heels were still directly on the mattress, not floated. She verified she was not aware of the 07/15/11 physician order [REDACTED]. She stated the Treatment Administration Record revealed the nurses had been initialing the treatment of [REDACTED]. Interview with State tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #2 on 08/11/11 at 8:15 A.M., verified she frequently worked the East unit where Resident #29 resides. She stated she was not aware of Resident #29 using heel lift boots. Observation of the right heel on 08/11/11 at 9:00 A.M. with the DON, revealed the wound measured 2.5 cm. in length by 2.6 cm. in width and was unstageable. The area was dark brown with an approximate 1 cm. boggy yellowish center. Interview with the Regional DON on 08/11/11 at 11:30 A.M.,. verified the facility failed to implement timely documentation of assessments of the size and description of the pressure ulcers, failed to develop preventive and active plans of care for the pressure ulcers, failed to implement care and devices as ordered to prevent development and worsening of pressure ulcers for Resident #29 and documented incorrectly regarding the application of the heel lift boots. Review of the policy entitled, "Skin Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers", effective 01/14/05, revealed the interdisciplinary team are to use the individual assessments to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan that reflects each resident's identified needs. Residents with pressure ulcers are to be reviewed at the weekly Risk Management team (nursing, dietary, social services) meeting. The care process is to be reviewed to assure that efforts are made to stabilize, reduce, or remove underlying risk factors. The interdisciplinary team is to assure that assessments are timely and appropriate, that interventions are implemented, monitored, and revised as appropriate and changes in condition are recognized, evaluated, reported to the practitioner and addressed. The policy stated the Quality Assurance Committee is to help the facility evaluate existing strategies to reduce the development and progression of pressure ulcers and ensure facility policies and procedures are consistent with current standards of practice. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #110 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident #110 was admitted for rehabilitation from a hospital stay. Review of the admission nursing assessment identified no skin wounds. Resident #110 was described in the record as alert with occasional confusion with easy reorientation, able to transfer with one assist and use walker and needing assistance with dressing, hygiene and mobility due to shortness of breath and weakness. A Braden Scale assessment form for predicting pressure ulcer development risk was completed on 03/07/11. The assessment indicated the resident had some sensory impairment, rarely had moist skin, spent a majority of time in bed, was able to make position changes and ate poorly. The resident was identified as low risk for skin breakdown". Review of the undated plan of care revealed the resident had a plan in place to address skin integrity. Interview with RN #7 on 08/10/11 at 4:30 P.M., revealed she completes all the MDS assessments and plan of care information. She verified there was no date of initiation of the plan of care for Resident #110 regarding skin integrity, but estimated that it was approximately three months prior to the goal date of 06/10/11. She stated the resident was at high risk for pressure ulcer development on admission due to his diagnoses. She revealed the potential alteration in skin integrity plan of care developed for Resident #110 had generic interventions such as diet/supplementation, monitoring nutrition, pressure mattress, pillow supports for positioning, keeping linens clean, use lift sheet, encourage out of bed as tolerated, avoiding hot water, removing soiled briefs/incontinent care, monitoring labs. She verified the interventions stated the staff were to do weekly skin assessments for skin irritation, redness, bruises, scratches and open areas and conduct a weekly assessment of feet. She stated there were no interventions listed for the nurse aides such as turning and repositioning and monitoring at risk skin areas such as bony prominence's (heels/coccyx) during care, nor floating of the heels for a resident at high risk for developing pressure ulcers. Review of the Treatment Administration Records for March 2011, revealed an intervention for weekly skin assessments. The initial assessment was completed on 03/07/11, however, there were no initials on 03/14/11, 03/21/11 or 03/28/11 to indicate the assessments had been completed. Review of the nurses notes dated 03/20/11 at 2:36 P.M., documented she had encouraged the resident to have good nutrition due to skin integrity as the right heel was purple but not open. There was no documented evidence of any notification to the physician and family regarding the new pressure ulcer on the right heel, no documented assessment of the measurements of the wound and no evidence of a treatment being initiated. Interview with RN #11 (who documented the note on 03/20/11 at 2:36 P.M.) on 08/10/11 at 11:25 A.M., verified she did make that entry regarding the right heel. She verified the area appeared dark purple as in deep tissue injury. She revealed there was no documented evidence the physician or family was notified of the skin impairment on 03/20/11. She further stated she did not measure the area or initiate a treatment. RN #11 could not attest as to why the right heel was not discovered at a lesser degree of injury by staff prior to 03/20/11. Nurses notes dated 03/21/11, 03/24/11, 03/27/11 and 03/28/11 document the use of heel protectors but no description of the area was completed until 04/02/11 at 2:00 P.M. by the the treatment nurse (LPN #10). The note documented the "resident's right heel area is medium blue with red non-blanchable" and "bilateral heel protectors on". There was still no evidence of a measurement of the area and no notification to the family. A physician telephone order was documented on 04/02/11 stating to "monitor right heel pressure area, bilateral heel protectors on while in bed". There was no evidence the family was notified of the new treatment order. Review of the wound form documented the first measured assessment of the right heel on 04/03/11, 15 days after the area was discovered on 03/20/11. On 04/03/11, the right heel ulcer was measured at 2.0 cm. in length, 2.2 cm in width and described as a "Stage 1 with tissue dark red/blue hue, unstageable and boggy". (A Stage 1 is actually defined as intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized are usually over a bony prominence.) Interview with RN #7 on 08/10/11 at 4:30 P.M., verified the area to the right heel was unstageable (unstageable is defined as a pressure ulcer with suspected deep tissue injury). There was no evidence that an acute plan of care was developed to address the unstageable right heel ulcer including interventions and treatments. These were also no interventions or treatments documented in the plan of care or Treatment Administration Record that addressed the pressure area. Review of the physician order [REDACTED]. The order was to cleanse with normal saline, apply topical antibiotic ointment and gauze every other day and as needed until healed. The next measurement dated 04/10/11, indicated enlargement of the heel ulcer to 3.6 cm. in length, 3.0 cm. in width and had dark red blue tissue that was non-blanchable and boggy. The area was assessed as a Stage 1. A physician telephone order was documented on 04/12/11 to turn and reposition every two hours and as needed. This new treatment order was not revised on the plan of care, as verified during interview with RN #7 on 08/10/11 at 4:30 P.M. Review of the assessment dated [DATE], described worsening of the right heel ulcer. The area measured 3.6 cm. in length, 3.0 cm. in width, with eschar at the center and a quarter of the wound with yellow slough. There was no evidence in the medical record or physician orders [REDACTED]. Interview with the DON on 08/10/11 at 3:30 PM, verified there was no documented evidence of weekly measurements by the treatment nurse after 04/24/11. The DON provided the next documented assessment of the wound on a form entitled "Weekly Wound Tracking Worksheet". The area was assessed on 05/13/11 and increased in size 3.8 cm. in length, 3.7 cm. in width and a new treatment for [REDACTED]. The note also stated Resident #110 was non-compliant with the heel protectors. On 05/23/11, 10 days later, the areas was assessed as having the same measurements. The next documented assessment provided by the DON's form was 06/23/11, 31 days later. The area was 3.8 cm. in length, 3.3 cm. in width with eschar. On 07/27/11, 34 days later, the area had the same dimensions. The last documented measurement was 08/04/11 and the area increased to 4.4 cm. in length by 3.9 cm. in width with eschar/yellow slough. The resident was sent to the wound clinic, however, the facility was not able to provide evidence of when the visit first occurred. Physician orders [REDACTED]. There was no revision of the care plan to address floating of the heels or use of suspension boots. There was no documentation in the nursing notes or plan of care of refusal of treatment or education on the importance of floating the heels. There was documentation on the DON's form that Resident #110 refused the boots. Interview with Resident #110 on 08/09/11 at 4:40 P.M., revealed he was aware of the "sore" heel. He stated that on a scale from 1-10 (little to extreme pain) he rated the pain at a "4", "except during dressing changes when it was a 43". He stated he was not advised to float his heels prior to developing the sore and didn't realize the importance of doing that. He stated that he would be willing to try to float the heels some of the time, but did like the freedom to turn occasionally. Interview with the resident's family on 08/09/11 at 6:05 P.M., verified he did not recall being informed of exactly when the sore heel started. He stated he knew it was painful for his dad and that now it will probably not heal due to his compromised health. Observations of Resident #110 on 08/09/11 at 4:40 P.M., 5:38 P.M. and 6:05 P.M. and 08/10/11 at 8;20 A.M., 9:55 A.M., 10:55 A.M., 11:55 A.M. 1:30 P.M., 2:30 P.M., and 4:00 P.M. revealed there was no pillows or devices in the bed to encourage or allow the resident to float his heels. Observation of the right heel wound with the treatment nurse (LPN #10) and RN #11, on 08/10/11 at 2:30 P.M., revealed the area was on the Achilles area of the heel, appearing as a large necrotic ulcer with black eschar and yellow slough measuring 4.8 cm. in length and 3.7 cm. in width. Interview with the two nurses during the treatment observation revealed there was no intervention for prevention of the heel ulcer upon admission. They stated after the heel ulcer was discovered, the facility attempted one type of suspension boot that the resident did not like. RN #11 verified no devices for suspension had been attempted that would provide sufficient floating of the heels and allow the opportunity for easy turning and maintaining lift. The medical record included results of an arterial exam of 07/19/11, which stated Resident #110 had critical limb-threatening ischemia on the right side, suggesting that the patient does not have adequate blood flow for wound healing. Hospice was initiated 08/04/11. Review of the policy entitled, "Skin Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers" effective 01/14/05, revealed the facility was to promote the prevention of pressure ulcer development. The policy instructs the interdisciplinary team are to use the individual assessments to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan that reflects each resident's identified needs. Residents with pressure ulcers are to be reviewed at the weekly Risk Management team (nursing, dietary, social services) meeting. The care process is to be reviewed to assure that efforts are made to stabilize, reduce, or remove underlying risk factors. The interdisciplinary team is to assure that assessments are timely and appropriate, that interventions are implemented, monitored, and revised as appropriate and changes in condition are recognized, evaluated, reported to the practitioner and addressed. The policy stated that the Quality Assurance Committee is to help the facility evaluate existing strategies to reduce the development and progression of pressure ulcers and ensure that facility policies and procedures are consistent with current standards of practice. Interview with the Assistant Director of Nurses on 08/10/11 at 3:30 P.M. and interview with the Regional Director of Nurses, on 08/11/11 at 11:30 A.M., verified Resident #110 was assessed with [REDACTED]. They verified there was no evidence on the plan of care upon admission that attention was paid to prevention of heel ulcers by floating the feet, given the high risk with [MEDICAL CONDITION] and other diagnoses. They verified the TAR indicated weekly skin assessments were not done after admission in March 2011. They revealed that although the heel ulcer was documented in the nurses notes 03/20/11, there was no measured assessment, no notification to the physician or family, no treatment initiated, and no revision to the care plan or interventions put in place to promote floating of the heels. They verified the treatment order for bilateral heel protectors was not sufficient to provide relief of pressure to protect and promote healing of the Achilles ulcer. They further stated there was no measured assessment until 04/03/11. Lastly, they verified that, although Resident #110 had disliked the type of suspension boots and pillows that were offered, no other lift devices had been pursued that may have been more acceptable to him that would have allowed more ease with turning and still providing heel lift to prevent worsening of the ulcers. 3. Review of the medical record for Resident #118 revealed an admission date of [DATE], following a motor vehicle accident which caused a herniation to his lumbar spine that resulted in a fusion prior to admittance. Review of hospital nurses' notes dated 04/20/11 revealed the resident had not walked since January 2011 and had a Stage 2 pressure ulcer on his right buttocks. Resident #118 was admitted to the facility for rehabilitation following surgery. Additional [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident #118 has an indwelling urinary catheter (Foley) and currently wears briefs due to bowel incontinence. Review of the facility computer generated nursing admission assessment, dated 04/29/11, revealed documentation that Resident #118 had no skin issues. However, review of a handwritten nursing admission assessment, also dated 04/29/11, revealed conflicting documentation that Resident #118 had open area on the middle of the right buttocks. A Braden Scale assessment, completed on 04/29/11, indicated the resident had a score of 15, which was considered at low risk for the development of pressure ulcers. In addition, the initial minimum data set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #118 had a Stage I pressure ulcer (intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence.) The MDS assessment also indicated the resident was at risk for developing pressure ulcers. The assessment noted a pressure reducing device was on the bed and that he was receiving ulcer care. Further review of the record failed to include documented evidence of any assessments of the size and description of the Stage I pressure ulcer identified on the admission nursing assessment of 04/29/11 and the MDS of 05/09/11. Review of Resident #118's care plan revealed there was no plan documented with a date that related to the initial MDS of 05/09/11. Interview with the registered nurse (RN) #7 on 08/10/11 at 9:30 A.M., verified there were no dates on the plan of care (POC) to indicate when the plans were developed. She stated that it could be approximately determined by calculating back three months from the goal date. The only plan of care for skin integrity had a goal date of 10/07/11, which would calculate to an approximate development date of 07/07/11. Therefore, no plan of care was developed to address the plan required by the MDS assessment date of 05/09/11. There was no plan developed to address the resident's risk for development of pressure sores, nor the Stage 1 pressure ulcer identified on the 05/09/11 MDS assessment. Review of the record failed to document evidence of any assessment of the size and description of the Stage 1 ulcer identified on the MDS of 05/09/11. There was also no documented evidence regarding the area on the buttocks as indicated on the physician order [REDACTED]. Review of the form entitled "Nurse's Weekly Skin Assessments" for the month of May 2011 revealed no mention of any redness or open areas to Resident #118's skin. However, review of the facility form entitled "CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) Daily Skin Inspection" for May 2011 revealed three days of open areas to the buttocks on 05/10/11, 05/11/11 and 05/15/11. The form also revealed two days of redness to the buttocks on 05/19/11 and 05/23/11. There were 23 days where the resident's skin was not documented as being assessed by the state tested nurse aides (STNA's) in May 2011. There was also no evidence of reporting by the STNA's to the nurse regarding the open area noted on 05/10/11, 05/11/11 and 05/15/11 and no assessments of the resident's skin when impairments were noted. There was also no evidence of a plan of care developed to address these areas. Review of nurses' notes for June 2011 revealed no mention of any type of skin issues or assessments that were completed. The "Weekly Nurse's Skin Assessment" form, dated 06/24/11, was not completed and there was no "CNA Daily Skin Assessment " form completed by the STNA's in June 2011. Further review of nurses' notes revealed that on 07/05/11, a treatment for [REDACTED]. The form entitled "Nurse's Weekly Skin Assessment" dated 07/15/11, revealed that no assessment was completed for this week. Furthermore, there was no "CNA Daily Skin Assessment" form for July 2011 located in the chart. Review of the MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #118 was still at risk for pressure ulcers. The assessment noted the resident had a pressure ulcer that healed and that pressure reducing mattress was on the bed. Review of the "CNA Daily Skin Inspection" form for August 2011 revealed the STNA's had observed redness to the buttocks on seven days; 08/02/11, 08/03/11, 08/0511, 08/06/11, 08/07/11, 08/08/11, and 08/09/11. On 08/05/11, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #10, the treatment nurse documented on the "Weekly Skin Assessment" form documented the resident's skin was intact. However, she then noted the buttocks/anal area was light red and denuded (exposed by erosion). During interview on 08/09/11 at 10:00 A.M., Resident #118 stated he had a pressure ulcer on his buttocks that the facility was not treating. He indicated his family was providing the band aids and creams and the STNA's applied the treatment. On 08/09/11 at 2:46 P.M., the surveyor observed STNA #84 weigh Resident #118. During the procedure, STNA #84 observed and reported to the surveyor that the resident had an open area to his buttocks. At 3:20 P.M. on 08/09/11, LPN #71 and LPN #79 were observed while changing the resident's indwelling urinary catheter. The Regional Director of Nursing (DON) appeared at the bedside and asked if she could look at the resident's buttocks. Permission was granted and the resident was rolled completely over onto his right side revealing a quarter sized open area on the right buttocks which was seeping purulent drainage onto the sheets. The area was not measured at this time but potential treatment was discussed with the nursing staff, family and resident. At this time, Resident #118's spouse informed the Regional DON that she had been bringing in cream and band aids to cover the open area which had been there off and on since he was admitted [DATE]. Interview with STNA #61 on 08/10/11 at 6:10 P.M., revealed on 08/06/11 and 08/07/11 during the second shift, she changed the brief and cleansed the buttocks of Resident #118. She stated she observed redness on the right buttock and applied the pericare cream, however, did not report it to the nurse. Interview with Registered Dietician (RD) #1 on 08/11/11 at 11:45 A.M., s
