Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
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 provide services according to professional
standards of quality for one of four sampled residents, Resident 1, when:1. Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) did not
follow the physician's order; and2. LN 1 and Treatment Nurse (TN) demonstrated different techniques and
knowledge in applying [NAME] wraps (adjustable compression wraps used to manage swelling associated
with lymphedema, [swelling of a body part, usually an arm or leg, due to a buildup of fluid]) to Resident
1.These failures decreased the facility's potential to safely implement the physician's orders and possibly
risk Resident 1's safety.Findings:A review of Resident 1's admission Record, indicated, Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility in June 2024 with the diagnosis that included Chronic Venous Hypertension (CVH,
high pressure in the leg veins, symptoms can include pain, swelling, varicose veins, and heaviness in the
legs) and difficulty in walking.A review of Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status, (BIMS- a tool to
assess cognition level) dated 4/18/25, it showed a score of 15 which indicated Resident 1 was cognitively
intact. 1. A review of Resident 1's Order Summary Report, dated 3/21/25, indicated, [NAME] wraps to
bilateral legs to assist with lymphedema. On in AM, off at hs [bedtime] every day shift.During a concurrent
observation and interview in Resident 1's room on 7/21/25 at 10:35 a.m., Resident 1 was seated on her
bed, wearing a dress and both of her legs were exposed from her knees to her feet. Resident 1 stated she
had Lymphedema, and she was frustrated with the nursing staff because her wrap was supposed to be
applied in the morning according to the physician's order, and it should be removed before she goes to bed
at night. However, the nurses usually apply it to her lower legs late in the afternoon. Resident 1 took out her
wrap from the storage area beneath the seat of her walker, pointed out her lower legs and stated See, I'm
not wearing it. Resident 1 stated the nurses do not know how to apply the wrap to her legs.During a
concurrent observation and interview in Resident 1's room on 7/21/25 at 12:05 p.m., with LN 1, LN 1
confirmed Resident 1's [NAME] wrap was not currently applied to her lower legs as ordered by the
physician. LN 1 stated the physician's order was to apply the wrap in the am and to be taken off at bedtime
to help reduce leg swelling due to conditions like lymphedema. LN 1 further stated she should follow the
physician's order.2. A review of Resident 1's Care Plan, date initiated 12/11/24, indicated, Resident has HX
of weight fluctuations r/t [related to] bilat [bilateral] lower leg Lymphedema,During a concurrent observation
and interview in Resident 1's room on 7/21/25 at 12:10 p.m., with LN 1, using Resident 1's right lower leg,
LN 1 demonstrated the proper way to apply the [NAME] wrap to Resident 1 by wrapping/covering her right
knee down to her ankle. Resident 1 disagreed with LN 1 and informed her that the other nurse did not wrap
her knee with the [NAME] wrap just as how LN 1 demonstrated it. LN 1 stated she had explained and
demonstrated to Resident 1 multiple times that the wrap should cover her knee but Resident 1 disagreed
with LN 1. Finally, LN 1 applied the wrap to Resident 1's bilateral lower leg.During an interview with the
Treatment Nurse (TN) on 7/21/25 at 1:44 p.m., the TN stated she

was familiar with Resident 1's [NAME] wrap and it should be applied from below the knee down to her
ankle. The TN further stated that all nursing staff were educated in the proper way to apply the wrap, and if
the staff did not feel comfortable in applying the wrap to the residents, the TN can help them. The TN stated
and demonstrated with her right lower leg, Resident 1's wrap must be applied two fingerbreadths below the
knee. The TN disagreed with wrapping/covering Resident 1's knee with [NAME] wrap as it may restrict
movements and increase discomfort or swelling.During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on
7/21/25 at 2:30 p.m., the DON stated she expected the nurse to follow the physician's order to apply the
[NAME] wrap in am and not in the afternoon for the resident's safety and faster healing. The DON further
stated, the TN educated the nursing staff through in-service about the proper way to apply the wrap to the
residents.A review of the facility's policies and procedures titled Medication and Treatment Orders, revised
July 2016, indicated, orders for medications and treatments will be consistent with principles of safe and
effective order writing.

observation, interview and record review the facility failed to follow guidelines for Enhanced Barrier
Precaution (EBP, an infection control intervention to reduce transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms)
that utilize the use of gown, glove and to practice hand washing/sanitizing for one of four sampled resident,
Resident 1 when:1. Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) did not wear gloves when she handled Resident 1's inhaler
canister; and 2. LN 1 did not sanitize her hands before donning on clean gown and gloves.This deficient

with more than one antibiotic) among residents, staff and visitors.Findings:1. During a review of Resident
1's admission Record, indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in June 2024 with the diagnosis
that included Pressure Ulcer of Sacral Region, Stage 4 (severe deep wound that extends to the muscle,

in wound healing.During a concurrent observation and interview with LN 1, inside Resident 1's room on
7/21/25 at 10:43 a.m., LN 1 took Resident 1's inhaler from his bedside table, stepped out of the room, went
back to her med cart, unlock her med cart, took out the box/container for Resident 1's inhaler and placed it
inside the box. LN 1 did not wear gloves when she handled Resident 1's inhaler. LN 1 confirmed that
Resident 1 is on EBP precaution and acknowledged that she should have worn gloves in handling Resident
1's inhaler to promote infection control prevention.2. During a review of Resident 1's Order Summary
Report dated 3/21/25, indicated, [NAME] wraps [adjustable compression wraps used to manage swelling
associated with lymphedema] to bilateral legs to assist with lymphedema [swelling of a body part, usually
an arm or leg, due to a buildup of fluid] On in AM, off at hs [bed time] every day shift.During a concurrent
observation and interview with LN 1, inside Resident 1's room on 7/21/25 at 12:10 p.m., LN 1 was wearing
gown and gloves while applying Resident 1's [NAME] wraps to her bilateral legs when LN 1 decided to
change her gown and gloves. LN 1 took off her gown and gloves, discarded it in the trash, and then put on
a clean gown and gloves. LN 1 then proceeded with wrapping Resident 1's bilateral lower legs. LN 1 did not
sanitize her hands before she donned on clean gown and gloves. LN1 confirmed she did not sanitize her
hands before donning on the clean gown and gloves as she should have to promote infection control
prevention.During an interview with the Infection Control (IC), on 7/21/25 at 1:26 p.m., the IC stated that
nursing staff must follow the guidelines for EBP, such as wearing gloves when handling the resident's
inhalation canister and sanitizing their hands before donning on a clean gown and gloves.During an
interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), on 7/21/25 at 2:30 p.m., the DON stated, the nurse should
have worn gloves in handling Resident 1's inhalation canister and should have sanitized her hands before
putting on a clean gown and gloves to prevent transmission of infection to the residents and staff. The
nursing staff are expected to practice infection prevention as they were taught during in-services.A review
of the facility's policies and procedures titled, Enhanced Standard/ Barrier Precautions revised date
2/21/25, indicated, It is the policy of this facility to implement enhanced barrier precautions for the
prevention of transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms.b. The residents that will benefit with EBP are
