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 ensure infection control practices (a set of
practices that prevent or stop the spread of infections and or diseases in healthcare settings) were followed
for six (6) of seven (7) sampled resident (Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) in accordance with the facility's
policy and procedure when:
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure indwelling catheter (is a closed sterile system with a catheter and retention
balloon that lets urine leave your bladder and your body to allow for bladder drainage) bag for Resident 1
was not touching the floor.
2. The facility failed to follow standard precautions (a set of infection control practices used to prevent
transmission of diseases that can be acquired by contact with blood, body fluids, non-intact skin, and
mucous membranes) by failing to remove soiled gloves and failed to perform hand hygiene (the act of
cleaning one's hands with soap and water to remove viruses/bacteria/microorganisms, dirt, grease, or other
harmful and unwanted substances stuck to the hands) before and after resident contact with Resident 2, 3,
4, 5, and 6 . was not used.
These deficient practices had the potential to spread infection to all residents, staff and visitors in the facility
and the potential for development of catheter associated urinary tract infection (a bacterial infection of the
bladder and associated structures) to Resident 1.
