- Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date September 11, 2018
The state investigators determined that “the facility failed to develop and implement timely and effective interventions to prevent the development of four facility-acquired, ‘unable to determine’ pressure ulcers.” The investigation involved a severely, cognitively impaired resident who “requires extensive assistance for activities of daily living from two staff members for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, and toilet use.”
The resident “had an indwelling Foley catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine into a collection bag). Documentation shows that the resident “had no pressure ulcers but was at risk for pressure ulcers and received no protective equipment for the prevention of pressure ulcers.”
The resident’s baseline weight, as documented in the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment was 195.0 pounds.” The resident Care Area Assessment dated March 25, 2018, for pressure ulcers identified the resident “was at risk for the development of pressure ulcers and directed staff to reposition him/her as needed.”
The resident’s Quarterly MDS documented that the resident “had no cognitive or functional changes. However, now presented with a stage III (a sore that extends into the tissue beneath the skin, forming a small crater. Fat may appear in the sore) pressure ulcer and received pressure-relieving devices on the bed.”
At that time, the resident recorded weight was 152.0 pounds and recorded the resident had more than 5% in one month or 10% in six months weight loss that was not planned.”
The surveyors determined that “the facility failed to develop and implement interventions to prevent the development of this resident ‘unable to determine’ pressure ulcer to the right buttocks and three areas to the right leg.”
The nursing home “also failed to implement timely and effective interventions to promote healing and prevent the deterioration of the wound.” This failure “resulted in the worsening of the resident’s pressure ulcer and the development of three new areas in this dependent resident.”
