An 81 Y/O female was admitted to the oncology unit with metastatic
cancer for pain control. On day 4 of hospitalization, she suffered circulatory
complications and she was transferred to the step down unit. The pressure
injury survey was conducted on day 5 of hospitalization and her family
verbally consented to have her included in the pressure injury survey. The
survey team found a large Stage 1 area of nonblanchable redness over her
right ischial tuberosity.
Review of her hospital admission assessment record revealed her skin was
warm, dry, and intact. The skin assessment documented on arrival to the
step down unit noted a small Stage 1 pressure injury at this site.

the presence of a Stage 1 pressure injury at this site. Therefore, the pressure
injury was present upon arrival to the unit and it is not a unit acquired
pressure injury even though the area was larger since arrival to the unit.
