F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. 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 infection control and prevention program when: Residents Affected - Some 1. For one of three residents reviewed (Resident 12), the facility did not ensure the oxygen nasal cannula (a plastic device that delivers oxygen through a tube and into the nose) was stored in an appropriate container or bag when not in use; and 2. For 16 of 47 residents reviewed (Residents 2, 5, 6, 8, 13, 16, 20, 26, 28, 30, 31, 36, 39, 40, 46, and 47), annual TB (tuberculosis-a type of contagious respiratory infection) skin test (test used to diagnosed TB) was not conducted timely. These failures increased the potential for the spread of infection to an already medically compromised resident population of 47 residents. Findings: 1. On February 25, 2025, at 9:51 a.m., a concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Resident 12 in her room. Resident 12's oxygen cannula was placed inside an open white translucent unlabeled bag and was tied on an oxygen concentrator (medical device that delivers oxygen). In a concurrent interview, Resident 12 stated she used the plastic bag as her trash bag. Resident 12 further stated, I tossed my trash into the bag. On February 26, 2025, at 9:47 a.m., during a concurrent observation and interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2. Resident 12's oxygen cannula was placed inside the white translucent bag and was widely opened to air. LVN 2 stated the facility used similar plastic bags for oxygen tube storage and trash bag. LVN 2 stated, It could potentially misidentify a trash bag and not an oxygen bag. LVN 2 further stated, the plastic bag currently used to store Resident 12's nasal cannula should be changed with a better container bag to prevent infection. On February 27, 2025, Resident 12's record was reviewed. Resident 12 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (lung disease). A review of Resident 12's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a tool for assessment), dated March 6, 2024, indicated Resident 12 had a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status - a tool used to assess cognition) score of 6 which indicated severe cognitive impairment. A review of Resident 12's Order Summary, included a physician's order, dated September 23, 2024, which indicated, .Administer oxygen @(at) 2-4L (Liter - unit of measurement) via (through) NC (nasal cannula) as needed related to CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (lung disease) . On February 27, 2025, at 7:44 a.m., an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) was conducted. The IP stated the bag to store the nasal cannula for Resident 12 should have been replaced with a clear respiratory set up bag. The IP stated if the bag appeared similar to a trash bag, there could be a possibility a resident would put trash in the bag and contaminate the oxygen cannula inside the bag.
