Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its infection prevention and control
measures for three of four sampled residents (Residents 1, 2 and 3) by failing to:1.Ensure staff (Certified
Nurse Assistants [CNA] 1, 3 and 4) wore Personal Protective Equipment (PPE-specialized clothing or
equipment such as gloves and gown worn to minimize exposure to serious illness) while providing care to
Residents 1, 2 and 3, who were on Enhanced Barrier precautions (EBP - an approach to the use of PPE to
reduce transmission of Multidrug Resistant Organisms [MDRO- bacteria that are resistant to multiple
antibiotics]).This failure had the potential to result in the transmission (spread) of disease-causing
organisms leading to illness to residents.Findings:1. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE].
The admission Record indicated Resident 1's diagnoses included cervical (neck) spinal cord injury,
neuromuscular (relating to the muscular and nervous systems) dysfunction of the bladder, and quadriplegia
(paralysis from the neck down, including legs, and arms, usually due to a spinal cord injury).During a review
of Resident 1's Care Plan titled Resident at risk for MDRO colonization ., dated 12/3/2024, the Care Plan
indicated staff should use gown and gloves during high-contact activities with a goal to not develop signs
and symptoms of MDRO infection.During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated
2/4/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to make medical decisions.During a review of
Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 11/28/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 1 had no cognitive (ability to think and reason) impairment, had an indwelling catheter, and was
dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff for personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, and rolling left and
right.During a review of Resident 1's Bowel and Bladder Evaluation, dated 12/19/2025, the Evaluation
indicated Resident 1 had a foley catheter ([FC], a thin, flexible tube inserted into the bladder to drain
urine).During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 1/6/2026, the Report indicated
Resident 1 had an order for an indwelling FC for neurogenic bladder (dysfunction of the bladder due to
muscular and nervous system issues). The Report indicated staff were to follow EBP due to the presence
of Resident 1's FC.During an observation on 1/6/2026 at 8:06 a.m., in Resident 1's room, CNA 1 was
observed not wearing a gown and gloves while providing care to Resident 1. CNA 1's uniform, hands, and
arms touched Resident 1 and Resident 1's linens while providing mobility assistance to the resident.2.
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. The admission Record indicated Resident 2's
diagnoses included quadriplegia, neurogenic bowel (dysfunction of the bowel due to muscular and nervous
system issues), and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder.During a review of Resident 2's Care Plan titled,
Resident at risk for MDRO colonization., dated 12/3/2024, the Care Plan indicated staff should use gown
and gloves during high-contact activities with the goal to not develop signs or symptoms of MDRO
infection.During a review of
