The state survey team determined that “for one resident reviewed for non-pressure related skin conditions, the facility did not provide the necessary care and services to attain and maintain the resident’s highest practicable physical well-being [according to] the comprehensive assessment and plan of care. Specifically, there was a lack of monitoring of ongoing skin issues.”
The surveyors reviewed the Hospital Wound Care Service Follow-up Note that identified wounds on the resident’s bilateral lower extremities. One wound on the right lower leg, posterior calf measure 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 0.1 cm. The skin is described as “fragile, macerated, and peeling with drainage.” Another wound on the left lower leg; posterior calf measured 7.5 cm x 4.0 cm x 0.1 cm. The skin is described as an “unroofed bulla, weeping, fragile, macerated, and peeling with moderate drainage.”
A third wound on the left lower leg on the anterior/lateral side of the calf measured 3.5 cm x 4.0 cm x 0.1 cm “was scattered smaller open areas. The wound bed was unroofed blisters and weeping.” A Nursing Omission Skin Assessment identified a wound measuring 6.0 cm x 5.0 cm on the lower left extremity and another weeping area that measured 8.0 cm x 3.0 cm. There “is no additional description of any wounds of the resident’s bilateral lower extremities.”
Other Nursing Notes document the wounds but provide no measurements or additional information “regarding the description of the resident’s wounds to the bilateral lower extremities.” The nursing home failed to provide a further assessment regarding scabbed areas and measurements of wounds but did begin a regimen of antibiotics after notifying the Nurse Practitioner.
