This deficiency is one that results in minimal discomfort to the resident or has the potential (not yet realized) to negatively affect the resident's ability to achieve his/her highest functional status. This deficiency was not found to be throughout this facility.
§ 483.25(i) Respiratory care, including tracheostomy care and tracheal suctioning.

Finally got powder to try to ease it off, but it didn't work. Finally, the aide pushed all the hip tissue through. It was a very painful ordeal. Resident tried a long time without assistance and NA Employee E2 just stood there.
