and need hospitalization) among healthcare personnel/healthcare workers after these healthcare workers
exposed to two of two sampled residents (Residents 1 and 2) who tested positive for RSV.
Residents Affected - Some
These deficient practices had the potential to spread RSV to other residents and staff.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the
resident on 6/12/2023, with diagnoses that included hypertensive heart disease (a condition that develops
when prolonged high blood pressure damages the heart muscle), chronic kidney disease (a condition
where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood. This
can lead to a buildup of harmful substances in the body and various health problems).
During a review of Resident 1's Laboratory Results Report, dated 1/24/2025, the report indicated Resident

list of staff who had close contact to Residents 1 and 2. The IPN stated the IPN did not have the list of
residents who were close contact to Resident 1 and Resident 2 but Resident 1's roommate was placed in a
separate room with no roommates. The IPN stated all residents would be checked for signs and symptoms
of respiratory illness using the Infection Monitoring Form.
During an interview on 1/31/2025 at 5:04 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the Influenza and
Respiratory Outbreak Line List only included the two residents. The DON stated there was no tracking of
residents or staff who had close contact to Resident 1 and Resident 2. All residents were monitored for
signs and symptoms of respiratory illness using the Infection Monitoring.
During an interview on 1/31/2025 at 5:10 PM, the IPN stated the IPN did not know if the two staff who
called off had close contact to Resident 1 and Resident 2. The IPN stated the two staff who called off stated
they were not feeling well as one of the reasons for the call off. The IPN stated the IPN did not know if not
feeling well would mean if the two staff were having signs and symptoms of a respiratory illness. The IPN
stated the facility would follow Center for Disease Control (CDC), state and local public health guidelines on
infection control.
During a review of two call off forms for Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1) and CNA 2, dated 1/31/2025,

During an interview on 1/31/2025 at 5:20 PM, the Administrator stated, We need to know who had close
contacts (staff and residents) to Resident 1 and Resident 2 and monitor the close contact staff and
residents for signs and symptoms of respiratory illness.
During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Surveillance for Infections, Policies and
Practices - Infection Control, the P&P did not have procedures for tracking close contacts/potential
exposures.
During a review of the CDC's Viral Respiratory Pathogens toolkit for Nursing Homes, dated 1/8/2025, the
toolkit helps nursing home infection preventionists and leadership prepare for and respond to nursing home
residents or healthcare personnel who develop signs and symptoms of a respiratory viral infection. The
toolkit indicated to investigate respiratory virus spread among residents and healthcare personnel. The
toolkit indicated to perform active surveillance to identify any additional ill residents or healthcare personnel
using symptom screening and evaluating potential exposures.
