management had contacted the police for investigation, and she notified Resident #104's spouse, who
stated that the bruise might be due to her complaining of a toothache the other day, but he did not mention
it to the staff. The IP stated that she had contacted social services for a Dental consultation. She also stated
that Resident #104 is on an anticoagulant medication and consequently she bruises easily. In addition, she

the left. She also stated that she asked the Restorative CNA to stay in the room with Resident #104.
On 04/10/24 at 11:03 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff H, the CNA assigned to Resident #104.
She stated that she reported the rash on Resident #104's back but not the bruise on her face. Staff H
stated that she did not think it was a bruise because she found Resident #104 sleeping with the left side of
her face against the bed siderail. She stated that after she dressed the Resident #104, she moved the
resident in her wheelchair to the dining room for breakfast, and she went to assist another resident.
On 04/10/24 at 1:03 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #104's spouse, in the resident's room.
He stated that he was contacted yesterday by the staff about the swelling of the right ring finger. He
mentioned that the staff was trying to remove the ring from the finger due to the swelling, but she expressed
that it hurts her too much. He also stated that the staff contacted him today for the bruise on Resident
#104's face and believes that it was caused by a toothache.
Review of the Incident Note dated 04/09/24 documented that Resident #104 was observed with a slight
redness and swollen area to right fourth finger and an X-ray was ordered.
Review of the Nursing Progress Note dated 04/10/24 documented that Resident #104 was crying in the
Dining/Day room on the C-Unit and was assisted back to her room for assessment. Resident #104
complained of pain in her hands. The nurse medicated the resident with Tylenol. Skin discoloration was
noted to the left side of the mouth. Resident denied pain to the mouth and is unable to explain what
happened. The Abuse coordinator was notified.
The surveyor reviewed all the progress notes and found no documentation of the bruise on Resident #104's
face prior to the above progress note dated 04/10/24. In addition, no staff in the Dining room noted the
bruise until the surveyor pointed it out.

asked about notifying the MD of the resident's blood glucose readings being over 400, Staff W replied, I
take his blood sugar and write it down and document later. Sometimes I forget.

refused Depakote since the Physician's order dated 04/04/24. Further investigation of the MAR for March

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of policy and procedure, observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that it
performed appropriate hand hygiene, care and cleanliness to avoid cross-contamination, per professional
standards, during Perineal and Foley Catheter care for 1 of 1 sampled residents observed, (Resident #97).
The findings included:
Review of the facility policy and procedure provided by the Director of Nursing (DON), titled, 'Perineal Care'
revised February 2018, documented in the Policy Statement: Purpose: the purposes of this procedure are
to provide cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent infections and skin irritation, and to observe
the resident's skin condition For a female resident: (2) Rinse perineum thoroughly in same direction, using
fresh water and a clean washcloth.
Review of the un-dated facility policy and procedure provided by the DON, titled, 'Infection Control' related
to Perineal Care, revised February 2018, documented in the Policy Statement: Infection Control during
perineal care (pericare) is crucial to prevent the transmission of infections, protect the patient's skin
integrity, and maintain overall hygiene. Pericare involves cleaning the genital and anal areas, which can
harbor bacteria and other pathogens. Proper technique and adherence to infection control principles are
essential during this sensitive procedure. Here are the key infection control measures to follow during
perineal care: 1. Hand Hygiene: Perform hand hygiene before and after providing pericare. Use soap and
water or an alcohol-based hand rub to reduce the transmission of microorganisms .Following these
infection control measures during perineal care can significantly reduce the risk of infection and promote
comfort and dignity for the patient.
