Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent the possible spread of
infection during hygiene care for 1 of 3 residents, Resident #2.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
During an observation of Resident #2's peri-care, on 11/4/2024 at 1:30 PM, Staff B, CNA (Certified Nursing
Assistant), and Staff C, CNA were observed preforming hand hygiene and donning gloves prior to initiating
care. Staff C, CNA did not prevent the possible transfer of bacteria when cleansing the outside of the
resident's left groin then cleansing the inside labial/vaginal area of the resident's left groin, then cleansing
the outside of the resident's right groin area to the inside labial/vaginal area, and then rinsing the resident's
groin area from the outside to the inside. Staff C, CNA did not remove her gloves and did not perform hand
hygiene. Staff C, CNA picked up a tube of barrier cream and applied it to Resident #2's groin and vaginal
areas. Staff C, CNA did not remove her gloves and did not perform hand hygiene. Staff C, CNA cleansed
Resident #2's perineal area (the region of skin between the anus and the genitals) with a washcloth, and
applied barrier cream to the area. While peri-care was being completed for Resident #2, the bag being used
for the collection of soiled linens fell on the floor, Staff B, CNA picked up the bag and placed it back on
Resident #2's bed. The bed linens were not changed, and the CNAs exited the room.
During an interview on 11/4/2024 at 2:30 PM, the DON stated, My expectation is that the CNAs will wash
their hands after doing personal care, before touching reusable items, as well as washing their hands and
changing their gloves after cleaning the peri-area before moving to a clean area or putting on a clean brief. I
also expect that they would not put a trash bag on a resident's bed after it had been on the floor.
During an interview on 11/5/2024 at 3:45 PM, Staff B, CNA stated, During peri-care for [Resident #2's
name], she [Staff C, CNA] should have changed her gloves before picking up or applying the barrier cream.
Before changing gloves, you should wash your hands. I would not have done the peri-care from the outside
[of the groin] inwards. I should not have put the trash bag back on the bed after it fell on the floor. We should
do these things for infection control.
