Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident without pressure sores, received the necessary care and services to prevent the development of a pressure sore. This was found true for one of 14 residents reviewed. The findings are: During the initial tour, conducted 9/9/2013 at approximately 9:40 P.M. on Unit A, Resident # 9 was observed lying in bed in a supine position. The resident was uncovered, and his feet were exposed. The resident was observed to wear heel pressure relieving booties on both feet. The bootie on his right foot was partially off, not covering the right heel, and the Velcro straps of the bootie were pulled tightly around the anterior longitudinal arch of the resident's foot. The bootie straps were observed to cover an open wound. The nurse accompanying the surveyor was immediately interviewed and stated she thinks the wound developed from the pressure of the bootie straps being pulled too tightly over the resident's foot. The Nurse stated the wound began to develop about three weeks ago. A CNA, identified as a consistent care giver for Resident # 9 was interviewed 9/9/2013 at 9:55 a.m. in the hallway outside of the Resident ' s room. In response to questions about the development of the resident's wound, The CNA stated, the straps on the booties caused the sore because they were being pulled too tight. An interview was held with the Director of Nursing {DON} immediately following the initial tour. The DON described the residents wound as a pressure sore that developed over time and caused by the straps of the bootie being pulled too tightly across the resident's foot. The DON stated they were not treating the wound because there was no drainage. She stated she had not yet in-serviced her staff on the proper application of heel booties to prevent pressure sores from developing, but would do so right away. The DON stated she would have the doctor evaluate the wound to determine what treatment is necessary. |
