Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, record review, and policy review the facility failed to implement control measures
to prevent the potential re-infection or transmission of scabies among residents in the facility related to four
residents (#4, #10, #11, and #12) out of twelve sampled who were treated or exposed to scabies.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Review of medical records showed Resident #10 was seen by a dermatology practice on 8/16/23 and
treated for scabies on 8/16 and 8/17/23 with oral and topical medications.
Review of admission records showed Resident #10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including osteomyelitis of vertebra, sacral and sacrococcygeal region, dementia, and disorder involving the
immune mechanism.
Review of Resident #10's August Orders and Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed the
following:
-Ivermectin 3 milligram (mg.) Give 4 tablets at morning medication pass. Start date 8/16/23. End date
8/17/23. The MAR shows medication was administered on 8/17/23.
-Permethrin 5% topical cream. Apply head to toe once at bedtime. Rinse off 8-14 hours after. Start date
8/17/23. End date 8/18/23.
The MAR shows the medication was applied on 8/17/23 and rinsed off on 8/18/23.
No order was found for contact precautions since 8/16/23.
A review of provider notes showed Resident #10 was visited by the Dermatology Physician Assistant (PA)
on 8/16/23. The provider described the rash as erythematous macules in a linear distribution with scaling to
skin folds and finger web spaces. A biopsy was performed to rule out scabies. The notes showed The day
you start treatment, wash your clothes, bedding, towels, and washcloths. Mites can survive for a few days
without human skin. If a mite survives, you can get scabies again. To prevent this, you must wash clothes,
sheets, comforters, blankets, towels, and other items. Be sure to follow these instructions when washing:
Wash all items in a washing machine and then dry it in a dryer, take it to a dry cleaner or seal in plastic bag
for at least 1 week.
On 8/23/23 at 2:19 p.m. an interview was conducted with the dermatology PA that visited Resident #10 on
8/16/23. She stated the biopsy came back and was unable to isolate but cannot exclude scabies. The PA
explained scabies mites are difficult to isolate on a skin scraping and when they said they cannot exclude
scabies it usually means they see the inflammation that indicates a mite passed through the area. The PA
said the facility should have taken any clothes or sheets the resident had used for the past 7 days and
washed them separately. She said items that could not be washed should have been bagged for 7 days.
She stated she doesn't typically treat roommates unless they have a rash or have had known skin to skin
contact. The roommate should be looked at for rashes.
Record review showed Resident #11 is the roommate of Resident #10. She was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses including displaced bimalleolar fracture of lower leg and atopic

On 8/23/23 at 12:13 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Housekeeping Account Manager. She stated
the room of Resident #10 and #11 is getting their regular daily cleaning. She said she is aware of Resident
#10 having scabies but has not done a deep cleaning of the room for scabies. She said when nursing tells
housekeeping the resident has finished treatment, her staff deep clean the room and they had not notified
her yet. She said the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) bag all the resident's personal items and
housekeeping cleans, including changing the curtains, cleaning the mattress and beds. The housekeeping
manager said according to her regular schedule for deep cleans Resident #10 and #11's room was last
deep cleaned on 8/8/23.
An observation was made on 8/23/23 at 12:30 p.m. of Resident #10 in the dining room for lunch, sitting with
three other residents. Her room was observed to not have any precaution signs present.
On 8/23/23 at 12:45 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Infection Preventionist (IP)/Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON.) She stated only one resident in the facility has had scabies recently and it stayed
contained to only that resident, but she couldn't remember their name. She said she started in the facility in
July and was handed a blank slate as far as tracking infections. The IP/ADON provided a map of the first
floor with current infections being tracked. Resident #10 and #11's room was not marked on the map. On
8/23/23 at 2:33 p.m. the IP/ADON provided an Infection Control Surveillance Log for July 2023 but said for
August she hasn't gotten it together yet.
On 8/23/23 at 12:55 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff O, Registered Nurse (RN.) Staff O, RN
confirmed she was caring for Resident #10 and #11 on her current shift. She said she had no idea Resident
#10 had scabies in the last week or that Resident #11 should be getting checked for scabies. Staff O, RN
did say she was aware a resident on the second floor was treated for scabies recently but was unsure of
who it was.
On 8/23/23 at 12:58 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff P, CNA. She stated she was caring for
Resident #10 and #11 during her current shift and she also cared for her the week prior. She said the
residents were not on precautions the week prior. She said she had no idea Resident #10 had scabies the
week she was caring for her.
On 8/23/23 at 1:03 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff Q, CNA. She confirmed there was a resident
on the second floor that was recently treated for scabies, but she hadn't heard of any other cases in the
facility. She said the resident treated was Resident #4.
Review of medical records showed Resident #4 was last admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including metabolic encephalopathy, multiple sclerosis, dementia, history of rash and other nonspecific skin
eruption, and artificial openings of urinary tract.

Oral Ivermectin and Permethrin cream was applied neck to toes last night at bedtime and tolerated without
difficulty. Resident has what appears to be scabies dermatitis from scalp to toes with scratch marks from
head to mid thigh. Did provide resident with patient education regarding microbes underneath her
fingernails and the potential for a skin infection and she verbalizes understanding. Remains on contact
isolation due to exposure. Will have on coming shift give Resident shower upon arising for the day, strip and
disinfect bed as well as provide clean linens. Will continue to monitor.
Review of medical records showed Resident #12 is the roommate of Resident #4. Resident #12 was
admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including intervertebral disc degermation in lumbar region, Alzheimer's
disease, and disorder involving the immune mechanism.
Review of Resident #12's MAR showed an order for Permethrin 5% topical cream every 7 days. Treat at
bedtime. Start date 7/29/23 Stop date 8/6/23.
Review of progress notes showed the following:
8/7/23 at 6:30 p.m.
Patient received 2nd shower today. Status post scabies treatment. No complaints of pain or discomfort.
Patient is resting comfortably in bed throughout the shift. No issues or concerns at this time. Call light in
reach.
The Infection Control Surveillance Log for July 2023 provided by the IP/ADON did not show Resident #4
being tracked for having scabies.
On 8/24/23 at 2:56 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Housekeeping Account Manager. She
confirmed she had not been told to deep clean Resident #10 and #11's room. As far as the room of
Resident's #4 and #12 she said it was not deep cleaned on 7/29 or 7/30/23 when they received treatment.
She provided a checklist from 8/8/23 showing that was the day Resident #4 and #12's room was scheduled
to be deep cleaned for scabies. She said it would be her staff that does the deep cleaning, and she
schedules them.
On 8/24/23 at 2:31 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Regional Nursing Home Administrator (NHA),
who is also a nurse. She said a resident with scabies would go on isolation for 24 hours after treatment.
She said the resident's personal items get bagged and everything gets cleaned, including bed, furniture,
and curtains. She said the shower/treatment and cleaning should all happen together. She said
housekeeping would do the cleaning because nurses and CNAs are not trained to do terminal cleans and
they wouldn't be doing that. She said if a resident was treated for scabies the night of 7/29/23 their room
should have been terminally cleaned the morning of 7/30/23. She said she would expect it to have been
done before 8/8/23. The Regional NHA also said the roommate of the resident exposed should be getting
daily skin checks and that order should have been put in by nursing management. She added this should
have been talked about in the morning meetings. She stated, no question why this is an infection control
concern.
On 8/24/23 at 3:01 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON.) She said for

a resident with scabies first we isolate them, then we treat and clean. She said they typically watch the
roommate due to exposure but do not treat. She said the roommate should be getting daily skin checks.
The DON said she knows they have been having issues with skin checks not being completed. As far as
cleaning with scabies treatment, the DON said usually the room is cleaned while the resident is in the
shower getting the first treatment and when the cream is washed off in the second shower, housekeeping
comes back and terminally cleans the room. When told Resident #10 was treated on 8/18/23 and her room
had still not been deep cleaned she said Wow, I will address. She said she would call the dermatologist to
determine what they wanted to do as far as treatment for Resident #10 and #11. When asked about
Resident #4 having scabies she said she had no knowledge that she had it. The DON said she had only
been in the facility a couple of weeks. She said she would have expected the Infection Preventionist to have
known Residents #4 and #12 were treated and to follow up with housekeeping. She said the IP should have
known from her infection tracking.
Review of a facility policy titled Scabies Identification, Treatment, and Environmental Cleaning, revised
August 2016, showed the following:
Purpose:
The purpose of this procedure is to treat residents infected with and sensitized to Sarcoptes scabies and to
prevent the spread of scabies to other residents and staff.
General Guidelines
1. Scabies is an itching skin irritation caused by the microscopic human itch mite, which burrows into the
skin's upper layers and eventually causes itching, tiny irregular red lines just above the skin and an allergic
rash.
2. Secondary bacterial skin infections may result from untreated scabies.
3, Incubation period can be 2-6 weeks before onset of itching for persons with no previous exposure.
Persons who have been previously infested develop more rapid symptoms, 1-4 days after re-exposure.
.
6. Scabies is spread by skin to skin contact with the infected area, or through contact with bedding,
clothing, privacy curtains and some furniture.
7. Diagnosis may be established by recovering the mite from its burrow and identifying it microscopically.
Failure to identify scrapings as positive does not necessarily exclude the diagnosis. It is difficult to obtain a
positive scraping because only one or 2 mites may cause multiple lesions. Often diagnosis is made from
signs and symptoms and treatment followed without scrapings, although scrapings or preferred.
.
11. A resident sharing a room with someone infected with scabies should be examined carefully for
scabies. If signs and symptoms are present, the resident should be treated in accordance with these
procedures. If symptoms are not present, daily assessments should be made until the case has resolved.
