Summary
The facility failed to provide training and ensure competency for staff regarding wound care. Record review showed that the Facility-Wide Assessment did not address training or competency for wound care, despite the presence of four residents with wounds. Employee records lacked documentation of wound care training and competency. During an interview, the DON was unable to confirm whether there was a specific process to determine nurses' competency in identifying and treating wounds.
