No, I'm the only one who does this. She stated she knows everyone. She confirmed Resident #29 wore a
medium. She said, She wears a medium pull up. She stated she thinks Resident #29 could fit in a small, but
she prefers medium. She stated on Fridays she stocks the clean linen closet with a case of each size for
residents. She stated residents will tell her if they need more. She stated, she leaves enough for the

During an interview and observation on 5/20/24 at 2:24 p.m. with Staff J, Central Supply a 22 pack of youth
small pull ups were observed to the side of Resident #29's bed. Staff J stated that maybe Resident #29's
family member sent them because she only uses medium. At this time, Resident #29 confirmed another
staff member gave them to her and stated, They really don't fit.
On 5/20/24 at 2:36 p.m. two packages of youth extra small pull ups were found on the shelf in the supply
shed behind the facility. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) In addition, multiple packages of medium briefs

was not aware of Resident #29's current need for medium pull ups.
On 5/20/24 at 6:53 p.m. the Director of Nursing stated a resident could ask staff for the size needed and

size needed for a resident. She stated she hadn't heard anything about Resident #29's need for medium
pull ups.

On 5/18/24 at 12:31 p.m. Resident #70 was observed lying in bed with a Continuous Positive Airway
Pressure (CPAP) machine on the bedside dresser next to the resident. The tubing and cannula attached to
the machine were lying on top of it. The resident reported staff do not clean it, did not have anything to
clean it with, and she would do it when she discharged to home.
On 5/19/24 at 9:27 a.m. Resident #70 was observed lying in bed with the CPAP tubing and cannula sitting
on top of the machine.
Review of Resident #70's physician orders revealed an order for Bipap to be on every night at 129 setting,

staff reviewed the resident's care plan and confirmed there was no focus related to the resident having a
CPAP. Staff E left the interview to ask the person responsible for developing the care plans to attend the
interview.
An interview was conducted with the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinator on 5/20/24 at 10:18 a.m. The
staff member stated yes there should have been a care plan for Resident #70's use of a CPAP and
reported there is now.

non-specific oxygen therapy but did not reveal the resident used either CPAP or Bipap equipment.
An additional review of Resident #70's Order Summary Report of active, as of 5/20/24 at 12:55 p.m.,
physician orders did not show staff were to clean or assist the resident with cleaning CPAP equipment. The

resident's preferences, will also be addressed in the plan of care. The facility's rationale for deciding
whether to proceed with care planning will be evidenced in the clinical record.
3. The comprehensive care plan will describe, at a minimum, the following:
a. The services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the residence highest practicable physical,
mental, and psychosocial well-being.
b. Any services that would otherwise be furnished, but are not provided due to the resident' exercise of his

needs as identified in the residence comprehensive assessment. The objectives will be utilized to monitor
the resident's progress. Alternative interventions will be documented, as needed.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to implement an effective infection
control program related to adhering to transmission-based precautions for one resident (#69) out of one
resident observed with Contact Precautions and providing eye drops to one resident (#58) out of one
resident observed during the administration of eye drops.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
1. On 5/18/24 at 12:36 p.m. an observation revealed Resident #69's had a sign posted on their door that
showed, Special Contact Precautions in addition to standard precautions. The sign advised for All family
and visitors: Please report to nurses station or see staff BEFORE entering room. The posting instructed
Before entering, everyone MUST:
Perform hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) or soap and water.
Wear gown before entering and remove upon exiting.
Wear gloves before entering and remove upon exiting.
Before exiting, everyone MUST wash hands with soap and water.
On 5/18/24 at 12:36 p.m., an observation was made of Staff C, Registered Nurse (RN) who knocked on the
door to Resident #69's room and entered without donning a gown or gloving. Staff C exited the room and
explained yes she should probably have put a gown on but was just seeing what the resident wanted (call
light had been on). Staff C stated the resident was on contact precautions because of [chronic immune
system disease] then reported Resident #69 had C-Diff.
Review of Resident #69's physician orders revealed the resident was currently receiving Vancomycin 250
milligrams (mg) four times a day for C-Diff, dated 5/7 to 5/21/24.
Review of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Facts for Clinicians, located at
https://www.cdc.gov/c-diff/hcp/clinical-overview/index.html, revealed Clostridioides difficile (C.diff) was a
common cause of antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD). It accounts for 15 to 25% of all events of AAD.
Prevent C. diff by appropriately using antibiotics and implementing infection control recommendations to
prevent transmission. The CDC shows C. diff is a spore-forming, gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that
produces 2 exotoxins: toxin A and toxin B. C. diff shades in faces. Any surface, device, or material that
becomes contaminated with feces could serve as a reservoir for the C. diff spores. C. diff spores can
transfer to patients by the hands of healthcare personnel who have touched a contaminated surface or
item. The treatment and recovery of C. diff included instructions for clinicians to wear gloves any gown
when treating patients with potential infectious diarrhea, including C.

diff, even during short visits. Gloves are important because hand sanitizer doesn't kill C. diff. In addition,
hand washing alone may not be sufficient to eliminate all C. diff spores.
During an interview on 5/20/24 at 1:36 p.m. Staff F, Registered Nurse/Infection Preventionist (RN/IP) stated
Contact Precautions were used for any infection that was communicable say C. diff. Staff F explained for
Contact Precautions, before entering, staff should wash hands with soap and water, don a gown, gloves,
(and) mask depending on if splash-back may occur. Staff F reported hand hygiene was to be done with
soap and water as alcohol did not kill spores. Staff F reported walking into Resident #69's room without
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and not washing hands was not appropriate. The Director of Nursing
stated they received Special Contact precaution signs from a local state department.
2. On 5/19/24 at 1:52 p.m. Staff A, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was observed during the administration
of medications with Resident #58. Staff A dispensed one tablet and removed one bottle of eye drops from
the medication cart, sanitizing hands then entered the resident's room. The staff member administered, with
bare hands, one drop in right eye, missing, then dropped another in the right eye, then administered one
drop into the left eye.
An interview was conducted with Staff A on 5/19/24 at 2:05 p.m. and confirmed she should have worn
gloves to administer the eye drops.
During an interview on 5/19/24 at 1:52 p.m., Staff F, RN/IP stated Staff A, LPN should have gloved,
administered eye drop in one eye, complete hand hygiene preferably ABHR then glove and place another
drop in the other eye.
Review of the policy titled, Administration of Eye Drops or Ointments, implemented 9/1/23, revealed Eye
medications are administered as ordered by the physician and in accordance with professional standards of
practice to lubricate the eye or treat certain eye conditions. The review of explanation and compliance
