Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure staff followed the facility's
enhanced barrier precautions (EBP, an infection control intervention, that involves the use of gowns and
gloves during high-contact care activities to reduce the transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms
[MDROs, bacteria, that have become resistant to multiple antibiotics]) for one out of two sampled residents
(Resident 2) when staff did not wear gown while changing Resident 2's incontinence brief (a type of
absorbent undergarment, similar to an adult diaper).
Residents Affected - Few
This failure could result in a higher risk of transmitting MDROs to residents and could make residents sick.
Findings
A review of Resident 2's face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information
about the resident) indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in September 2017 with diagnoses
including Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Bladder (neurogenic bladder-a problem in which a person lacks
bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord, or nerve condition).
A review of Resident 2's care plan (CP, a detailed, written document that outlines a resident's individual
needs, goals, and how their care will be managed), dated 1/2025, indicated Resident 2 had an Indwelling
Catheter (IC-a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or collect urine).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/18/25 at 2:58 p.m., Resident 2 was noted to have an
IC. Unlicensed Staff E and Unlicensed Staff F was observed not wearing gowns while changing Resident
2's incontinence brief. Resident 2's room had a document by the door titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions
(EBP). The EBP document indicated staff should wear gown and gloves when changing incontinence
briefs.
During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:00 p.m., Unlicensed Staff E and Unlicensed Staff F verified they did not
wear gowns when they changed Resident 2's incontinence brief. Unlicensed Staff E verified Resident 2 had
an IC and they should have worn gowns when changing Resident 2s incontinence brief. Unlicensed Staff E
stated following the EBP, such as wearing gown when changing incontinence briefs, was for infection
prevention and to prevent cross contamination (when bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally
transferred from one object to another).
During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:05 p.m., Resident 2 verified Unlicensed Staff E and Unlicensed Staff F
did not wear gowns when they changed her incontinence brief earlier. Resident 2 stated she was surprised
to learn that staff should be wearing a gown whenever they changed her incontinence brief and added, staff
had never wore a gown when they were changing her incontinence brief.
During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:17 p.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) G stated residents with ICs were placed
on EBP and staff should wear gowns when they were changing incontinence briefs as an infection control
measure, to prevent cross contamination and getting others sick.
During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:25 p.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated all residents who had an
IC were placed on EBP. The IP verified Resident 2 had an IC and staff should wear gown when they were
changing Resident 2's incontinence brief. The IP stated if staff did not wear a gown while changing
Resident 2's incontinence brief, it meant the EBP was not followed. The IP stated it
