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: Residents Affected - Some 1. Ensure proper infection control techniques were performed during wound care treatment for two of two sampled residents (Resident 26 and Resident 9). This deficient practice had the potential to result in contamination of the residents' wounds and placed the residents at risk for infection. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 26's admission record indicated Resident 26 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE], with diagnoses including muscle wasting and atrophy (the wasting (thinning) or loss of muscle tissue), dementia (a group of conditions characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgment), and atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow). During a review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized assessment and care planning tool) dated January 18, 2018, indicated Resident 1 was severely cognitively impaired (process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) in daily decision making and required dependent assistance with transfer, dressing, and toilet use. During observation on 2/22/24 at 1:34 p.m. in Resident 26's room with Treatment Nurse (TN 1), TN 1 was observed performing wound care treatment on Resident 26.
