Summary

The resident, who was admitted with multiple sclerosis and a Stage 3 pressure ulcer, did not have a baseline care plan addressing wound care needs documented in the care plan review.

Record review and staff statements confirmed the absence of a timely baseline care plan for the resident's pressure ulcer.
