Health deficiencies cited at Lawrence Co Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents with pressure ulcers did not receive wound care according to professional standards or physician orders, as an LPN failed to use proper cleansing technique and did not dry wounds before applying dressings. Both residents were also found double briefed, a practice acknowledged by staff as increasing the risk for skin breakdown and infection.
Staff did not follow care plan interventions during wound care for two residents with pressure ulcers. An LPN failed to pat wounds dry before applying prescribed treatments and dressings, as required by physician orders and care plans. Both residents were severely cognitively impaired, and the DON and RN confirmed that the care plans were not followed during the observed wound care.
An LPN failed to disinfect a bedside table before placing wound care supplies on it while treating a resident with a stage 2 sacral pressure ulcer. The LPN repeatedly retrieved gloves and sanitizer from the undisinfected surface during the procedure, contrary to facility infection control policy. Interviews with staff confirmed that the table should have been disinfected prior to use.
Failure to Provide Proper Wound Care and Prevention of Skin Breakdown
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide wound care in accordance with professional standards of practice and physician's orders for two residents with pressure ulcers. Observations revealed that a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) cleansed wounds by wiping back and forth across the wound bed multiple times with the same gauze, rather than discarding it after a single pass, and did not pat the wounds dry before applying prescribed treatments and dressings. This was observed during wound care for both the hip and sacral wounds of one resident, and the sacral wound of another resident. The facility's own policy required drying the skin by patting with a soft gauze, and physician orders specifically instructed to pat dry the wounds prior to dressing application. Additionally, both residents were found to be wearing two briefs at the time of care, a practice acknowledged by staff as contrary to their training and facility policy, and known to increase the risk of skin breakdown and infection. Interviews with staff, including the LPN and Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed that wounds were not dried as required and that double briefing should not occur. Both residents involved were severely cognitively impaired and had a history of pressure ulcers, as documented in their medical records.
Failure to Follow Wound Care Plan Interventions for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to implement care plan interventions during wound care for two residents with pressure ulcers. For one resident, physician's orders and the care plan required cleansing and patting dry an excoriated area on the right hip and a stage 3 pressure ulcer on the sacrum before applying specific wound treatments and dressings. During observed wound care, the LPN did not pat either wound dry before applying the prescribed ointments, powders, and dressings, contrary to both the physician's orders and the care plan. The resident had a history of pressure ulcers and was severely cognitively impaired at the time of the incident. For the second resident, who also had a history of pressure ulcers and severe cognitive impairment, the care plan and physician's orders required cleansing and patting dry a stage 2 sacral pressure wound before applying calcium alginate and a foam dressing. During observed wound care, the LPN cleansed the wound but did not pat it dry before applying the dressing. The LPN acknowledged not following the care plan or physician's orders during interviews, and both the DON and RN confirmed that the care plan was not followed during these wound care procedures.
Failure to Disinfect Bedside Table During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to infection prevention and control practices during wound care for a resident with a stage 2 sacral pressure ulcer. During an observed wound care procedure, an LPN entered the resident's room carrying supplies on a disposable barrier, which was placed on the foot of the bed. However, the LPN placed a bottle of hand sanitizer and clean gloves directly onto the resident's bedside table without disinfecting the surface. Throughout the procedure, the LPN repeatedly retrieved gloves and sanitizer from the undisinfected bedside table, despite removing and reapplying gloves multiple times during the dressing change. Interviews with the LPN, the Director of Nursing, and the facility's Infection Preventionist confirmed that the bedside table should have been disinfected before placing any wound care supplies on it. The LPN acknowledged not cleaning the table and recognized this as a deviation from proper infection control protocol. The resident involved was severely cognitively impaired and had a physician's order for specific wound care to the sacral area. Facility policy required maintaining a sanitary environment to minimize infection risk, which was not followed in this instance.
