Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to identify and implement interventions to aid in the healing and/or prevention of pressure ulcers for two (#1 and #8) of three sampled residents who were reviewed for pressure ulcers. This resulted in actual harm for resident #1 when her pressure ulcers failed to progress towards healing and for resident #8 when there was no treatment initiated or interventions implemented when the pressure ulcer was first identified. The facility identified three residents as having pressure ulcers. Findings: The facility's policy on the prevention of pressure ulcers, dated 08/2005, documented, "...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...to that area and subsequent destruction of tissue...Pressure ulcers are often made worse by continual pressure, heat, moisture...decline in nutrition and hydration status...Identify risk factors for pressure ulcer development...For a person in a chair:...Change position at least every hour...Use foam, gel or air cushion as indicated to relieve pressure...The care process should include efforts to stabilize, reduce or remove underlying risk factors; to monitor the impact of the interventions; and to modify the interventions as appropriate...Place resident on a minimum of a q 2 hour check and change program...Residents who are able to cooperate and understand should be taught to shift weight every 15 minutes while sitting in a chair...Avoid use of wheelchairs with sling seats for prolonged periods.

F325H · Actual harm, pattern

Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to implement interventions to aid in the prevention of weight loss for eight (#1, #3, #4, #5, #11, #12, #15, and #22) of ten sampled residents who were reviewed for weight loss. This resulted in actual harm for resident #1 who experienced a 15.86% severe weight loss in six months. The facility's Census and Conditions report identified no residents as having an unplanned significant weight loss.

The RD was asked why no resident had received health shakes as ordered by the physician. She stated it had been discovered that the meal tickets had not been printed correctly. She stated only the front side of the meal tickets had been copied and the back side was where it was documented if the resident was supposed to receive a health shake. On 11/14/13 at approximately 5:00 p.m., the DON stated she had spoke with the physician. She stated the physician had said he knew his documentation was lacking but the resident's weight loss had began as a planned weight loss. She stated the resident had been drinking many colas in one day and had expressed the desire to lose weight. The DON was asked if the weight loss had been care planned as intentional, with goals and interventions identified. She stated, "No." The DON was asked if the weight loss had been intentional, why had the recommendations for an appetite stimulant, vitamins, and health shakes been accepted. She stated it was because the weight loss started out as planned but the resident just kept losing weight. 2. Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].
