2460 PINE HEIGHTS AT BRATTLEBORO CENTER FOR NURSING & R 475023 187 OAK GROVE AVENUE BRATTLEBORO VT 5301 2010-10-27 281 D     KDRM11 Based on staff interview and record review, the facility failed to provide services in accordance with professional standards of practice regarding evaluation of a skin condition for 1 resident. (Resident #1) Findings include: 1. For Resident #1, facility staff did not inform the resident's physician and family of the failure of a skin condition to improve with treatment, as well as to report the worsening status of the skin condition after a prescribed three month treatment regimen was completed. Per review of the resident's Nurses Notes (NN), the resident had a recurrent skin condition requiring treatment and referral to a medical specialist on 7/20/10. A three month course of therapy was prescribed and was given as ordered by the specialist during which no improvement was documented by nursing staff. Confirmed during interview with the Director of Nursing Service (DNS) and the Wound/Skin Care Nurse on 10/27/10 at 1:58 PM, the resident's skin condition did not improve with treatment and began to worsen further after the completion of the ordered treatment regimen on 10/8/10. The Wound/Skin Care Nurse stated during this interview: "It was my responsibility to inform the resident's physician and family about the failure of the treatment to improve the skin. I should have also informed them when the condition began to worsen." Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice (9th ed.). Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, pg 17. 2014-02-01
