Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
During an observation on 1/31/2023 at 9:01 AM, Staff C, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), proceeded to
administer Vancomycin HCl (Hydrochloride) in NaCl (Sodium Chloride) Intravenous Solution 1-0.9%
gram/250 milliliter to Resident #46. Staff C cleaned the needleless connector and flushed the PICC
(Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line with normal saline and placed the needleless connector back
down on the resident's arm. Staff C removed the medication tubing and spiked the medication bag. Staff C
primed the tubing and connected the tubing to the needleless connector without cleaning the needleless
connector. The line had air occlusion. Staff C removed the tubing from the PICC line allowing needleless
connector to come in contact with the resident and bed. Staff C primed the line once again and connected
the medication tubing to the needleless connector without cleaning the connector.
During an interview on 1/31/2023 at 9:12 AM, Staff C, LPN, stated that she should have sanitized the
needleless connector after it came in contact with the resident before connecting the tubing to the
connector.

in contact with a soiled area, it should be cleaned again.
