It is used to administer intravenous (IV) fluids, blood transfusions, chemotherapy, and other drugs, and to draw blood samples) care according to the physician's order and the facility's policy and procedure. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential for Resident 2 to develop an infection on Resident 2's PICC site and/or develop sepsis (a life-threatening blood infection). Findings: During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with multiple diagnoses which included cellulitis (a skin infection that causes swelling and redness) of the right lower limb and Diabetes Mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing). During a review of Resident 2's Physician's Order (PO), dated 12/1/24, the PO indicated to monitor Resident 2's PICC site for complications every 8 hours. The PO, dated 12/2/24, indicated to administer levofloxacin (antibiotic-medication used to prevent and treat infections) 500 milligrams (mg-unit of measure) IV solution to Resident 2 one time a day for diabetic infection of the lower limb. The PO, dated 12/3/24, indicated to administer daptomycin (antibiotic) 500 mg IV solution to Resident 2 every evening for diabetic infection of the lower limb. During a review of Resident 2's IV Medication Administration Record (IV MAR), dated 12/1/24-12/31/24, the IV MAR indicated Registered Nurse 1 (RN 1) administered levofloxacin 500 mg IV to Resident 2 and checked Resident 2's IV site at 9 am on 12/12/24 and on 12/13/24.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a sanitary (clean) environment to prevent the spread of infections for 3 of 13 sampled residents (Resident 5, Resident 12, and Resident 13) by failing to ensure Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) and Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1) performed hand hygiene (cleaning hands by either washing them with soap and water, or by using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer) according to the facility's Hand Washing policy and procedure (P&P). Residents Affected - Some These failures had the potential to spread infection to all residents, staff, and visitors in the facility. Findings: During an observation on 12/13/24 at 12:16 pm, LVN 1 fist bumped (greeting someone by lightly tapping each other's clenched fist) with a male resident (Resident 12) in the dining room while passing out lunch trays to the residents. After LVN 1 fist bumped with the resident, LVN 1 started touching residents' trays inside the meal cart while checking residents' trays, without washing hands or using hand sanitizer first. During an interview on 12/13/24 at 12:20 pm with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated LVN 1 must use hand sanitizer after fist bumping with a resident and before touching the lunch trays. LVN 1 stated it was important to use hand sanitizer and/or wash hands to prevent the spread of infection. During an observation on 12/13/24 at 12:31 pm, CNA 3 was observed assisting Resident 5 to set-up Resident 5's lunch tray at the bedside. CNA 3 touched Resident 5's overbed table and privacy curtain. CNA 3 did not wash hands and/or use hand sanitizer after exiting Resident 5's room. CNA 3 then picked up a tray from inside the meal cart and delivered the tray to Resident 13. During an interview on 12/13/24 at 12:35 pm with CNA 3, CNA 3 stated CNA 3 forgot to use hand sanitizer after exiting Resident 5's room. CNA 3 stated CNA 3 must use hand sanitizer or wash hands after exiting a resident's room. During an interview on 12/13/24 at 2:21 pm with the Interim Director or Nursing (IDON), the IDON stated staff must perform hand hygiene before and after handling/touching meal trays to prevent infection and perform hand hygiene before and after touching a resident and/or equipment in a resident's room, and in between residents. The IDON stated it was important to perform hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. During a review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC-the national public health agency of the United States) Clinical Safety: Hand Hygiene for Healthcare Workers, dated 2/27/24, the CDC recommendations indicated for healthcare workers to clean their hands immediately before touching a patient, before performing an aseptic (free from disease-causing microorganisms) task such as placing an indwelling device or handling invasive medical devices, before moving from work on a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same patient, after touching a patient or patient's surroundings, after contact with blood, bloody fluids, or contaminated surfaces, and immediately after glove removal.
