Question :
The question is incomplete. The full question is as follows :
A 69 Y/O female with a right hip fracture was admitted to the orthopedic unit from the emergency department shortly after falling in her yard. Thirty-two hours later she underwent surgery to repair the hip and returned to the orthopedic unit post operatively. The pressure injury survey was conducted on day 4 of hospitalization and the survey team saw a Stage 2 pressure injury over the coccyx.
Review of her hospital admission assessment record revealed incomplete assessment of this area due to difficulty turning the patient related to her level of pain and large size. Documentation during her 8 hour stay in the emergency department record was also incomplete. Initial documentation of the pressure injury on the coccyx was found in the patient's operating room record.
For the pressure injury survey, this would be reported as:
a. Community Acquired Pressure Injury
b. Hospital Acquired Pressure Injury Only
c. Hospital Acquired and Unit Acquired Pressure Injury
Answer:
B) Hospital Acquired Pressure Injury Only .
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason for the above mentioned answer is that pressure injury was first documented greater than 24 hours after arrival to the hospital.
It is unknown if the patient obtained the pressure injury in the emergency department or on the orthopedic unit.
Therefore, this pressure injury is recorded as a hospital acquired pressure injury.
Hence option B) hospital acquired pressure injury. is the right answer.
