Each Stage (cont.) Examples
1. Resident K is admitted to the facility without a pressure ulcer/injury. During the stay,
they develop a stage 2 pressure ulcer. This is a facility acquired pressure ulcer and was not “present on admission.” Resident K is hospitalized and returns to the facility with the same stage 2 pressure ulcer. This pressure ulcer was originally acquired in the nursing home and should not be considered as “present on admission” when they return from the hospital.
2. Resident J is a new admission to the facility and is admitted with a stage 2 pressure ulcer.
This pressure ulcer is considered as “present on admission” as it was not acquired in the facility. Resident J is hospitalized and returns with the same stage 2 pressure ulcer, unchanged from the prior admission/entry. This pressure ulcer is still considered “present on admission” because it was originally acquired outside the facility and has not changed.
