Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to ensure one (#53) out of one resident
sampled for pressure ulcers received wound care in a sanitary manner.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
The admission Record for Resident #53 indicated that the resident was initially admitted on [DATE] and
more recently on 5/19/21. The record included diagnoses not limited to unstageable pressure ulcer of
sacral region, stage 4 pressure ulcer of left buttock, and dependence on renal dialysis.
The 5-day Minimum Data Set, dated [DATE], identified a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of
15 indicating an intact cognition. The MDS indicated that Resident #53 had one stage 3 pressure ulcer and
two stage 4 pressure ulcers.
An observation was conducted, on 6/10/21 at 10:20 a.m., of Staff Member G, Licensed Practical Nurse

gauze from an open sleeve and four vials of normal saline (ns). After donning an isolation gown and gloves
the staff member assisted Resident #53 onto his right side where three dressings were observed on the
sacral and buttock area. Staff G removed the larger upper sacrum dressing, she ungloved, washed hands,
and re-gloved then removed with her left hand the packing material from the wound which was colored with
sanguineous exudate. The staff member removed the left hand glove, re-gloved (without hand hygiene),
and used a gauze soaked in Dakins solution to wipe the outside of the wound then with the same gauze
she cleaned the wound bed. While pat drying the wound the staff member partially removed the dressing
from the middle wound. After ungloving and regloving (without hand hygiene) she used skin prep to wipe
the peri-wound . Staff G ungloved, re-gloved and used the Dakin soaked gauze to pack the large wound,
then placed a Dakin gauze over the packing. She ungloved. opened a 6 x 6.5 foam dressing, donned
gloves, and used the dressing to cover the large sacral wound, again partially removing the lower wounds
dressing. She ungloved and washed hands. After leaving the room to retrieve another box of gloves, the
staff member washed her hands, opened a package of Calcium Alginate and two (2) island dressings. She
donned gloves, without performing hand hygiene, removed the dressings on left ischium and left posterior
thigh, ungloved, washed hands, and re-gloved. She opened one of the four vials of normal saline, wet
gauze and wiped left thigh wound then patted it dry. She ungloved, re-gloved (without hand hygiene),
opened second vial of ns, squirted it on gauze, cleaned inside ischium wound then the periwound, with the
same normal saline gauze used to clean the ischium wound the staff member wiped over the thigh wound
which was previously cleaned. The staff member ungloved, washed hands, donned gloves, used a 4x4
gauze to pack the ischium wound, and covered it with an foam dressing. She ungloved, cut an
approximately 1.5 x 1.5 corner of Calcium Alginate with scissors, re-gloved, covered the thigh wound with
the Alginate then covered it with a 3x3 dressing.
Immediately following the wound observation Staff G stated that the scissors had been taken from the
treatment cart and cleaned with an alcohol pad, which was not observed. She confirmed that hand hygiene
was to be done after removing gloves, and confirmed that she had not sanitized or washed hands after
removing gloves at times. The staff member confirmed wiping across the ischium and thigh wounds with the

Review of the resident's medical record showed a document, Unavoidable Skin Breakdown, 5/25/21,
indicated that Resident #53 had Chronic/End Stage Renal Disease and Chronic/End Stage Pulmonary
Disease and received Renal Dialysis and received drugs that increased the risk of skin breakdown.
The care plan for Resident #53 indicated that the resident was admitted with pressure wounds to the Left
Ischium, sacrum, and Left posterior thigh. The related interventions instructed staff to perform wound
treatments as ordered.
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, Introduction to Hand Hygiene for Healthcare Providers,
identified multiple opportunities for hand hygiene may occur during a single care episode. The guidance
indicated that healthcare providers should utilize Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitizer immediately after glove
removal. (https://www.cdc.gov/handhygiene/providers/index.html)
The facility's Clinical Protocol - Pressure Ulcers/Skin Breakdown, revised April 2018, did not identify the
procedure for completing wound care for residents but did acknowledge that the nursing staff and
practitioner would assess and document an individual's significant risk factors for developing pressure
ulcers.
