out of six sampled residents (Resident 2) when the licensed nurse who prepared the medication handed it
to another licensed nurse for administration. This resulted in the accidental ingestion of Dakin's solution
(diluted solution of made of bleach and other ingredients usually used to cleanse wood to prevent infection)

chemical not intended for oral consumption. During a review of the facility's admission Record, the
admission record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in April 2025 with multiple diagnoses that
included osteomyelitis (Inflammation of bone caused by infection, generally in the legs, arm, or spine).

nurse involved in the incident. LVN 1 stated RN 2 only works on weekends, and RN 3 was no longer
working for the facility.During an interview on 09/26/25 at 12:20 p.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated she reviewed

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure for one out six residents
(Resident 1), Resident 1's was in a room with enhanced barrier precautions (EBP - an infection control
intervention designed to reduce transmission of resistant organisms that employ targeted gown and glove
use during high contact resident care activities), EBP was not followed during nursing care and treatment.
This failure had potential to spread infection when prevention of was not consistently practiced.
Findings:During a review of facility's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in
March 2025, with diagnoses that included pressure ulcer (localized skin and soft tissue injuries that develop
due to prolonged pressure exerted over specific areas of the body), chronic diastolic heart (heart's main

had a poster sign indicating the room was designated as EBP room. RN 1 did not put on personal
protective equipment (PPE) when RN 1entered the room. RN 1 stood on the right side next to bed, and
checked Resident 1's blood pressure, then checked Resident 1's pulse with ungloved hands for one minute.
RN 1 exited the room, and prepared Resident 1's medications. Resident 1's medications included
Amiodarone HCL 200 milligram (mg) tablet (medication used to prevents and treats a fast or irregular

09/25/2025 at 1:44 p.m., with RN 1, RN 1 stated Resident 1's room was assigned at EBP due to Resident
1's pressure ulcer. RN 1 stated she did not put on PPE to check Resident 1's blood pressure and pulse and
removed and applied the Lidocaine external patch during medication administration.During a review of
facility's policy and procedures titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions indicated Enhanced barrier precautions
(EBPs) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents.
Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) refer to infection prevention and control interventions designed to
reduce the transmission of multi-drug resistant (MDROs) during high contact resident care activities. h.
