- Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date October 4, 2018
The state investigators determined that the nursing home failed to provide “care and services to prevent the development and the worsening of pressure ulcers.” The investigation involved a resident whose Physician assessment identified the resident “as having blisters on her coccyx.” The blisters were identified as Stage I excoriation of the sacral ulcer with new order written to cleanse the sacrum with soap and water and apply zinc ointment (20%) every shift and as needed.”
A further review of the resident’s records indicated that the resident “was transferred to the hospital for debridement of a Stage IV to her coccyx and placement of a wound vac. Additionally, the facility submitted an Adverse Incident Report to the Agency for Health Care Administration after a neglect allegation was filed with another State agency.”
The documentation found that “the facility failed to identify concerns with the resident’s care.” The investigators interviewed the Wound Care Nurse who stated that the facility is “taking the hit for this wound because she came back from the hospital with a stage IV. She stated that the wound vac was changed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and was very painful for the resident who received pain medication [before] the change.”
In a separate summary statement of deficiencies dated June 6, 2019, the nursing home “failed to ensure [two residents] receive necessary treatment and services to prevent the development of pressure ulcers and promote wound healing.” The documentation shows that the designated Wound Care Nurse, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated that the resident “had been admitted with large necrotic [dead tissue] areas to both buttocks.”
The In-House Consulting Wound Care Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner “wanted to send him to the hospital for surgical debridement, but he refused to go.” The Nurse Practitioner stated that the resident “was noncompliant with care and would sit up playing video games and watching television for hours.”
