Residents Affected - Few Review of the policy and procedure titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions with a last review date of 8/22/2024 read, Policy Statement: Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents. Policy Interpretation and Implementation: 2. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. a.

Staff E proceeded to flush the IV (intravenous) line with normal saline and administered medication via the IV. During an interview on 8/28/2024 at 9:02 AM Resident #264 stated, I came in with the IV dressing from the hospital. It looks pretty disgusting, but I have no pain, it is not swollen, and it flushes without any issues. During an interview on 8/28/2024 at 9:26 AM Staff D, LPN, stated, If I would have done the admission I would have changed the dressing then. If the dressing is soiled, I would change it also. I told my relief nurse yesterday about changing the dressing due to the condition of the dressing. Today when I came in, I saw it [IV dressing] had not been changed. I was going to change the dressing, but it was breakfast time, and I was unable to change it at that time. Review of the facility policy and procedure titled Infusion Devices and Procedures with a last review date of 8/22/2024 read, Policy: .Central vascular access device (CVAD) and midline catheter site care and dressing changes are performed at established intervals, and immediately when integrity of the dressing is compromised, if moisture, drainage, or blood is present, or for further assessment if site infection or inflammation is suspected .
