6867 PRUITTHEALTH - MARIETTA 115276 50 SAINE DRIVE SW MARIETTA GA 30008 2013-02-07 314 D 0 1 NGK511 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, and staff interview the facility failed to administer a wound treatment according to wound clinic orders for one (1) resident (#36) from a sample of thirty four (34) residents. Findings include: Observation of a pressure sore treatment conducted 2/6/13 at 10:30am revealed that Treatment nurse AA cleaned the wound with Normal Saline, patted the wound dry, applied [MEDICATION NAME], and then covered the wound with a composite dressing. Review of the most recent wound clinic orders dated 1/15/13 at 2:00pm indicated the wound was to be cleaned with mild soap and water, rinsed then dried, paint heel ulcer with [MEDICATION NAME], two (2) times per day, cover with four by fours and secure with Kerlix and tape. Off load pressure on heels at all times. Follow up in one (1) month on 2/12/13. Further record reviewed revealed no other wound treatment orders since the 1/15/13 orders. Interview with the treatment nurse AA on 2/6/13 at 10:40am revealed she had missed the most recent wound clinic orders dated 1/15/13. She further indicated that she had been informed by the(NAME)wound consultant that soap and water would dry out the wound and she needed to use normal saline or sterile water. AA revealed that the treatment had only been done one (1) time per day from 1/15/13 through 2/6/13, and Normal Saline was used to clean the wound rather than mild soap and water. After the treatment observation by the surveyor on 2/6/13 at 10:30am, the treatment nurse contacted the attending physician to clarify the treatment orders. 2017-09-01
