Other Serious
During this investigation, this standard was cited due to staff using poor judgement when using a small elastic hair band to hold the socks up on an infant. This action caused the infant to sustain skin depression from the tightness around their ankles. Pictures received for this investigation revealed the use of a small elastic hair band placed around the top area of the sock by the ankles causing the elastic band imprint.

HHSC risk weight: High. Corrected 2026-01-08. Correction verified 2026-01-15.
