dressing was changed in accordance with professional standards of practice for 2 of 2 residents with
central venous catheters, Residents #3 and #4.

Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #3's admission record showed the resident was admitted to the facility with the
diagnoses including unspecified fracture of left forearm, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis due to other bacteria left elbow, atrial fibrillation, and pneumonia.

peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line with a net stocking over the insertion site. The resident

insertion site remained covered.
During an interview on 4/11/2024 at 9:12 AM, Resident #3 stated, I'm in here for antibiotics because I have
an infection after I broke my arm. It is an MRSA [Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus] infection, so I
needed a PICC line and antibiotics for a long time, another 6 weeks. They changed this about 10 days ago I
guess.

every day shift every Sat [Saturday] for PICC line.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 4/11/2024 at 11:15 AM, Resident #4 was resting in bed with a left upper arm
single lumen PICC line with transparent dressing over a gauze dressing. The transparent dressing was
dated 4/6/2024.
During an interview on 4/11/2024 at 11:15 AM, Resident #4 stated, Oh, they changed that a few days ago
now, maybe a week. I am getting antibiotics every day. I am going to be on antibiotics for about another
month.
Review of Resident #4's physician order dated 4/5/2024 read, Change PICC dressing and measure
external catheter length and document every seven days and PRN [as needed]. Note any complications.
Every day shift every Saturday for IV [Intravenous] abt [antibiotic] tx [treatment]. Change PICC dressing and
measure external catheter length and document every seven days and PRN. Note any complications. If any
discrepancy in length from any previous measure, stop using line and notify provider immediately. Obtain
f/u [follow up] instructions.
During an interview on 4/11/2024 at 12:07 PM, Staff A, RN, stated, I did observe the PICC lines for
[Resident #3 and #4's names] and didn't realize that they had gauze under them. I should have changed it
when I saw that. We should only have gauze in the initial dressings. After that, it should be a transparent
dressing. We should assess the sites every shift and when we give an IV meds [medications].
During an interview on 4/11/2024 at 12:37, Staff B, LPN, stated, I did administer both patients [Resident #3
and #4's] normal saline flush this morning and I should observe the dressing and the site when I do that. I
didn't notice they had the gauze under the transparent dressing. I just didn't realize it. We should assess the
insertion site when we administer the medication. I should have looked at the date of the dressing and the
insertion site when I gave the normal saline. It is outdated. The dressing was dated 4/1/2024 for [Resident
#3's name]. [Resident #4's name] dressing is in date it was done on 4/6, but it does have gauze under it, so
it should have been changed on 4/8.
During an interview on 4/11/2024 at 1:30 PM, the Director of Nursing stated, I can't say why the staff put
gauze under the dressings for the PICC lines. The dressings should have been changed after 2 days
because of the gauze under them. It is our policy to do that.
Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Central Venous Catheter Dressing Changes read, Policy:
Central venous catheter dressings will be changed at specific intervals, or when needed, to prevent
catheter-related infections that are associated with contaminated, loosened, soiled, or wet dressings.
General Guidelines . 2. Change transparent semi-permeable membrane (TSM) dressings at least every 5-7
days and PRN (when wet, soiled, or not intact). 3. If gauze is used, it must be changed every 2 days.
