Based on observation, record review and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to provide care/services to prevent the development of pressure ulcers for two (#9 and #12) of nine sampled residents whose clinical records were reviewed for the development of pressure ulcers. This deficient practice resulted in the development of a stage III pressure ulcer which was determined to be avoidable for resident #9. The DON and the administrator identified 22 residents at risk for the development of pressure ulcers (the 10 residents who already had pressure ulcers and 10 other residents.) The Census and Conditions report, presented upon entrance, documented 48 residents were receiving preventative skin care. Findings: The Resident Census and Conditions of Residents, provided by the facility upon entrance, documented 10 residents had a stage II or greater pressure ulcer. It documented two of the 10 residents had a stage II or greater pressure ulcer upon admission to the facility. This indicated eight of the 10 residents' pressure ulcers were facility-acquired. The weekly summary of residents' skin conditions, written following the wound physician's rounds on 05/02/16, documented eight residents had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Of those eight residents, four also had at least one stage II or greater pressure ulcer. A 'Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment' policy, revised 2005, documented, General Guidelines .Pressure ulcers are usually formed when a resident remains in the same position for an extended period of time causing increased pressure or a decrease of circulation (blood flow) to that area, which destroys the tissues . Pressure ulcers are often made worse by continual pressure, heat, moisture, irritating substances on the resident's skin (i.e., perspiration, feces, urine, wound discharge, soap residue, etc.) . Assessment .Because a resident at risk can develop a pressure ulcer within 2 to 6 hours of the pressure, the at-risk resident needs to be identified and have interventions implemented promptly to attempt to prevent pressure ulcers . A 'Pressure Ulcer Treatment' policy, revised 2005, documented, .The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the care of existing pressure ulcers and the prevention of additional pressure ulcers . Stage I Protocol .Turn Schedule . A 'Prevention of Pressure Ulcers' policy, revised 2005, documented, The purpose of this procedure is to provide information regarding identification of pressure ulcer risk factors and interventions for specific risk factors . General Guidelines .Pressure ulcers are usually formed when a resident remains in the same position for an extended period of time causing increased pressure or a decrease of circulation (blood flow) to that area, which destroys the tissues . Pressure ulcers are often made worse by continual pressure, heat, moisture, irritating substances on the resident's skin (i.e., perspiration, feces, urine, wound discharge, soap residue, etc.) . Interventions and Preventive Measures: General .Identify risk factors for pressure ulcer development . For a person in bed . Change position at least every two hours or more frequently if needed . Determine if resident needs a special mattress . If a special mattress is needed, use one that contains foam, air, gel, or water, as indicated . For a person in a chair . Change position at least every hour . Use foam, gel or air cushion as indicated to relieve pressure . Interventions and Preventive Measures: Residents with Risk Factors . Risk Factor - Moisture . Place resident on a minimum of a q 2 hour check and change program . Risk Factor - Friction and Shear . Use a draw sheet to assist in moving resident from side to side and up in the bed . Use a draw sheet or other mechanical device for lifting . Risk Factor - Bed-fast . Change position at least every two hours and more frequently as needed . Use a special mattress that contains foam, air, gel, or water, as indicated . Consider off-loading pressure hourly if the head of the bed is greater than 30 degrees (e.g., for residents with tube feeding or respiratory issues) . Risk Factor - Chair-fast .Change position at least q 1 hour . Consider the need for pressure relief/reducing device . Change position at least every hour and use foam, gel or air cushion as indicated to relieve pressure . Risk Factor - Bowel/Bladder Incontinence .

A 14-day MDS, dated [DATE], documented in the skin and ulcer treatments section, the resident had a pressure reducing device for the bed, applications of nonsurgical dressings other than to the feet and applications of ointments/medications other than to the feet. The areas for pressure reducing device for chair, turning/repositioning program, nutrition and hydration interventions to manage skin problems and pressure ulcer care were not checked as being in use. On 05/09/16 at 9:15 a.m., a family member of resident #9, who had a background in the medical profession, was asked about the care the resident received. She stated she was afraid to leave him because there was not enough staff to provide the care he needed. She stated they were not checking on the resident every two hours and she would place a urinal between his legs because the staff had let him lay in urine and feces for long periods of time. She stated she had told the nurses she was concerned about his bottom turning purple and the development of pressure ulcers. She stated that right after admission, she had asked the wound nurse if the resident could be placed on an air mattress and the wound nurse had told her he did not need one. She stated when he developed the pressure ulcers, the wound nurse had told her they were only shearing tears to the skin. She stated the resident had a Stage 3 open, yellow wound at the present. She stated she had informed the DON and the administrator about the care and her concerns. She stated they had only put up a sign-in sheet on the wall of the resident's room. She pointed to a Turn/Reposition Form on the resident's wall, dated May 2016. The form had a list of times in two hour increments and the position the resident was to be repositioned to at that time. There were only 53 of 84 entries initialed from 05/02/16 at 8:00 a.m. and 05/09/16 at 8:00 a.m. She stated the CNAs either signed the form when they have not given the care or they don't sign it at all. At 11:30 a.m., following a dressing change to the pressure ulcers on the buttocks, resident #9 was observed to be positioned on his back in the bed with the head of the bed up 30 degrees. At 12:30 p.m., the resident was observed on his back in the bed with the head of the bed up 30 degrees. There had been no change in his position.

LPN #3 had performed a fingerstick blood sugar on the resident but had not changed his position. At 5:30 p.m., the resident remained in the geri chair. His position had not been changed. On 05/10/16 at 8:45 a.m., LPN #3 was observed administering medication via feeding tube to resident #9. The resident was in the geri chair with his head up 30 degrees. The LPN was asked how long the resident was to stay up in the chair. She stated he was to be up for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. At 9:48 a.m., resident #9 received a breathing treatment. His position was unchanged in the geri chair. At 10:16 a.m., the resident received PEG tube care. His position was unchanged in the geri chair. At 11:15 a.m., resident #9's position was unchanged in the geri chair. At 11:45 a.m., the resident was observed in the geri chair leaning to the left with his neck hyperextended. The pillows that had been used for support and positioning were observed on the floor. The resident's tongue guard had came out and blood was observed in his mouth. At 11:55 a.m., the resident was placed back in the bed via hoyer lift. Incontinent care was performed and he was positioned on his left side. The geri chair was observed to not have had any pressure reducing cushions in place. At 12:00 p.m., the Turn/Reposition form on the resident's wall contained no documentation of the resident having been repositioned from 05/09/16 at 8:00 a.m. through 05/10/16 at 4:00 a.m. At 1:30 p.m., the resident remained in the same position on his left side in the bed. At 3:00 p.m., the resident had been repositioned to his right side. The bed had been lowered to the lowest position and was cutting off the air supply to the mattress so it was not working properly. On 05/11/15 at 10:30 a.m., LPN #3 was asked if she had admitted resident #9. She stated she had. She was asked it the resident had any wounds when he was admitted . She stated she had looked at his skin and it was pink with blood but he did not have any wounds when he was admitted . She was asked if a family member of resident #9 had requested an air mattress when the resident was admitted . She stated she had not been asked but the family member had asked the evening shift nurse about it. She was asked if she had assessed the resident as a high risk for pressure ulcers when she admitted him. She stated he would have been high risk because he couldn't move himself. She was asked what interventions would have been put in place. She stated the resident should have been turned every two hours and couldn't be up in the geri chair longer than two hours She was asked if the resident had a cushion for his geri chair. She stated, No. At 11:10 a.m., the resident's wound was observed. He was positioned on his back in the bed. Two CNAs repositioned the resident to his left side so the wounds could be observed. They used a turn sheet to pull him across the bed and then turn him onto his side. LPN #3 removed a bordered dressing from the buttock area. Two large wounds were observed on the buttocks. They were on both buttocks and met at the gluteal crease. Both had definitive edges where the wounds had been surgically debrided. The area around the wound and across the buttocks was macerated with redness and slight weeping observed. A thin layer of zinc oxide ointment covered most of the areas. The left wound was approximately 4 inches long by 2 inches wide and approximately 1/8th inch deep. The bed was a blackish red in color and had small amount of serous drainage. The right wound was approximately 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide and 1/8th inch deep. The bed was pinkish to yellowish with serous drainage. The LPN placed a new dressing and the resident was repositioned onto his back. At 11:15 a.m., the wound care nurse was interviewed. She was asked how long she had been the wound nurse. She stated she had started in January 2016. She was asked about her training regarding wounds. She stated she had no formal training but knew what any floor nurse would know. She was asked if she assessed all new residents upon admission for skin issues or preventative interventions. She stated she did not, unless a wound consult was ordered. She stated she hoped to be able to assess all admissions in the future but didn't at the present. She was asked if she had assessed resident #9's skin on admission. She stated she had looked at it with another nurse. She stated there was no discoloration or open areas on admission. She stated she ordered [MEDICATION NAME] ointment as a preventative measure. The wound nurse was asked if she had assessed the resident as being at risk for pressure ulcers. She stated his pre-[MEDICATION NAME] was good and he didn't have any open wounds so she didn't think there was much risk except he was incontinent of bowel and bladder. She was asked if the resident's family had requested an air mattress on admission to prevent pressure ulcers. She stated they had requested it but, He wasn't open yet, so he didn't need it. She again referred to the resident's pre-[MEDICATION NAME] as being good. She stated she ordered an air mattress when he developed the shear wounds. She was asked what made her classify the wounds as 'shear wounds'. She stated, Pressure ulcers don't come up that fast. She was asked if the resident should have received shear wounds if the staff were using proper technique to reposition him. She stated, No. She was asked if the resident should have a cushion in his geri chair. She stated, Yes. At 11:45 a.m., the DON was interviewed. She was asked what training the wound care nurse had regarding wounds. She stated she was supposed to watch some online trainings when she started in January. She stated she didn't know how many she had watched or if she had watched any. She was asked if she had made rounds with the wound care nurse when she conducted the skin assessments. She stated she had not. The DON was asked what it meant when a 'wound care consult' was ordered. She stated it meant the wound care nurse was to assess the resident and decide if the wound care physician should be consulted. She was asked what the wound nurse responsibilities were. She stated she made rounds with the wound physician when he was in the building. She was to perform wound assessments on all the wounds weekly and make sure the floor nurses were staging the wounds correctly. She was to assess residents at risk of pressure ulcers for any interventions or devices to be put into place as prevention measures. She was asked what interventions were put into place when a resident was assessed as being at risk for pressure ulcers. She stated it depended on what the wound care nurse decided they required. She was asked if she knew what interventions had been implemented when resident #9 had been admitted . She stated she thought the turning schedule had been. The DON was asked if she would have assessed the resident as 'at risk' for pressure ulcers. She stated his pre-[MEDICATION NAME] was good but she would have considered him a high risk since he was unable to move himself. She was asked what interventions she would have implemented. She stated he would have been placed him on a turning schedule, put him on an air mattress and started him on the prevention protocol. She was asked if she was aware the resident's family had requested an air mattress when he was admitted but the wound care nurse had denied the request. She stated she knew they had placed him on one when he developed wounds but didn't know they had requested one on admission. She stated they started a turning schedule at that time and placed a schedule on the wall. She was asked if the schedule was being used. She stated she hadn't looked at the schedule. She was asked if the resident should have a pressure reducing device in the geri chair. She stated he should have. She was informed there was no device in the chair and she stated she didn't know he didn't have one. The DON was asked if the resident had developed the pressure ulcer in the facility. She stated he had. She was informed of the observations of the lack of repositioning while in the the bed and extended times up in the geri chair. She stated, That's not good. At 5:00 p.m., LPN # 4 was asked if resident #9 had any open wounds on admission. She stated he did not have any wounds. She was asked if a family member had requested an air mattress on admission. She stated they had and she had put in a 'wound care consult' so they could get the air mattress. She stated she thought the air mattress would help prevent pressure ulcers from developing. 2. Resident #12 had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A pre-[MEDICATION NAME] level, obtained 12/29/15, documented the resident's pre-[MEDICATION NAME] level was 25. The normal range was 20-40. The annual assessment, dated 02/21/16, documented the resident was cognitively intact; required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfer and toilet use; was always incontinent of bowel and bladder; was at risk for the development of pressure ulcers; had moisture associated skin damage; did not have a pressure relieving device in chair; was not on a turning/repositioning program; and had no nutrition/hydration interventions. A Braden scale for predicting pressure ulcer risk, dated 02/21/16, documented the resident was at moderate risk for the development of a pressure ulcer. The care plan, dated 02/24/16, documented the resident had a problem which pertained to his ADL self-care performance deficit related to his decreased mobility. An intervention for the ADL of bed mobility was, the resident requires extensive assistance by staff to turn and reposition in bed every 2 hours and as necessary. The care plan addressed the resident's risk for impaired skin integrity and documented he had moisture associated [MEDICAL CONDITION] to the right buttock on 04/19/16 and a pressure ulcer to the right buttock on 04/28/16. The goal was for the resident's skin to remain clean, dry and intact during the review period. Interventions for the problem did not include turning/repositioning every two hours and as needed or to toilet/change the resident's incontinent brief every two hours and as needed. A skin/wound note, dated 04/18/16, written by the wound nurse, documented the resident had moisture associated [MEDICAL CONDITION] of the right buttock. A skin/wound note, dated 04/25/16, written by the wound nurse, documented the resident had a stage II pressure wound to the right buttock, area of [MEDICAL CONDITION] opened up measuring 3.4 x 2.5 x 0.1 cm (centimeters). A treatment order was obtained for Duoderm to be applied every 3 days and as needed. The note documented the wound specialist physician would follow-up on 05/02/16. (Later in the survey, the wound nurse informed the surveyor this note, dated 04/25/16, should have been dated 04/28/16.) A verbal physician's orders [REDACTED]. A skin/wound note, dated 05/02/16, documented the resident had a stage II pressure wound of the right buttock, measuring 3.0 x 2.5 x 0.1 cm. The note documented the treatment of [REDACTED]. A skin/wound note, dated 05/09/16, documented the resident had been seen by the wound specialist physician and had moisture associated [MEDICAL CONDITION] of the right buttock. The note documented the progress is improved and the treatment of [REDACTED]. Follow-up would occur in 7 days. There was no documentation in the clinical record which indicated the resident had been on a program to turn/reposition every two hours and as needed. On 05/11/16 at 9:34 a.m., three registered nurse surveyors observed LPN #3 as she performed the treatment to resident #12's buttocks and coccyx. When the Duoderm dressing was removed and the bilateral buttocks were cleaned with normal saline, the three surveyors observed a stage II pressure ulcer of the right buttock which measured approximately 6 x 3 x 0.1 cm. A stage II pressure ulcer which measured approximately 4 x 3 x 0.1 cm was observed on the left buttock. At 9:45 a.m., the resident was asked if the facility staff had ever instructed/encouraged him to lie on his side or stay off of his back. He stated staff had never talked to him about that issue. Beginning on 05/11/16 at 9:00 a.m. to 05/12/16 at 11:30 p.m., the surveyor made intermittent observations of the resident during the day. The resident was never observed positioned on his side or with his weight off loaded from his buttocks. On 05/11/16 at 2:45 p.m., the surveyor reviewed the skin/wound note, dated 04/18/16, with the DON and asked if any interventions had been initiated to prevent the development of pressure ulcers once the resident had been diagnosed with [REDACTED]. She stated [MEDICATION NAME] was ordered to be applied. The DON was asked if a turn/reposition program had been initiated at that time. The DON stated, No. The surveyor reviewed the skin/wound note, dated 04/25/16 (later changed to 04/28/16), and asked the DON if any interventions had been initiated to heal the stage II pressure ulcer and/or prevent the development of other pressure ulcers. She stated the physician had ordered a Duoderm dressing. The surveyor asked if a turn/reposition program had been initiated at that time. The DON stated, No. The surveyor reviewed the care plan intervention which documented the resident required extensive assistance by staff to turn and reposition in bed every two hours and as necessary. The surveyor asked the DON if the resident had been turned/repositioned every two hours. The DON stated, No. The surveyor asked if the care plan had been followed to turn and reposition the resident every two hours. She stated, I hope so. The DON was informed the MDS, dated [DATE], documented the resident was not on a turn/reposition program and asked her to produce documentation of the turn/reposition program. The DON reviewed the clinical record and stated she could not produce documentation the resident had been turned/repositioned. She stated turning/repositioning was not listed on the direct care ADL sheets. The surveyor informed the DON of the observation by the three RN surveyors of the stage II pressure ulcers to the resident's bilateral buttocks earlier that morning. She indicated she was not aware the resident had the pressure ulcers. The DON requested the wound nurse to consult about the pressure ulcers. When the wound nurse arrived in the room, she also indicated she was not aware the resident had pressure ulcers because the wound doctor had documented he had moisture associated [MEDICAL CONDITION] on 05/09/16. The surveyor asked the wound nurse if the resident had been turned and repositioned to prevent the development of a pressure ulcer. She stated she knew he had been repositioned because she had seen him up in his wheelchair. The surveyor asked if pressure remained on the resident's buttocks when he was up in his wheelchair. The wound nurse acknowledged pressure to the buttocks remained when the resident was in his wheelchair. The surveyor asked if she had ever observed the resident with his weight off loaded from his buttocks. She stated she had not. On 05/11/16 at 4:05 p.m., the DON asked the resident if staff had ever put a pillow under his back to turn him to his side. The resident stated they had not. The DON then observed the open areas to the resident's buttocks and stated they were shearing, not pressure ulcers. On 05/12/16 at 10:05 a.m., the surveyor asked LPN #3 if she recalled doing the treatment to resident #12's buttocks the morning of 05/11/16. She stated she remembered. The surveyor asked what type of skin issues she had observed. The LPN stated the resident had stage II pressure ulcers to the right and left buttocks. The surveyor asked if she had reported the observations of the pressure ulcers to anyone. She stated she had reported her observations to the wound nurse following the treatment. At 10:15 a.m., the surveyor info
