Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide wound care according to
professional standards of practice by double gloving, not performing hand hygiene and using the gloved
finger to apply the paste in the wound for one resident (#15) of three residents sampled.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
An observation of wound care on 6/3/21 at 2:35 p.m. with Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN) and assisted by
Staff C, Patient Care Assistant (PCA) was conducted. Staff D, RN kept her supplies in a plastic bag
observed in her right pocket. Staff D, RN washed her hands and placed paper towels on the resident's tray
table after she moved the resident's personal belongings. Staff D picked up the barrier, slid it off the table,
flipped it over, and put it back down saying, I don't know what these little bugs are, but they are not ants.
The PCA stated they were fruit flies and the RN continued to put the supplies on the paper towels. The RN
then double gloved and opened the brief, observed stool, and pushed the stool down with the brief. The
stool was not in the wound. Staff C, PCA asked the nurse if she should change the resident first and the
nurse stated, No, after we are done. Staff D, RN applied the normal saline to the gauze and cleaned the
wound once. Doffed the second glove and mixed the normal saline with calcium alginate by swishing the
medicine cup around to mix the calcium alginate into a paste. She then used a 4 x 4 gauze with her gloved
finger and stuck it down in the medicine cup. Scooped out the paste and attempted to place it on the
wound. The paste would not stay on the wound, so the nurse stuck her finger in the paste and pushed it
down into the wound bed and removed her gloves without performing hand hygiene she dug through both
shirt pockets to find a pen to write on the wound dressing. The nurse finished and Staff C, PCA asked if the
nurse would assist with changing the resident since the wound was completed.
During an interview with Staff D, RN she stated she tries not to double glove and tries to use her hand
sanitizer after cleaning the wound. Staff D, RN stated she does not like to go back and forth, so she double
gloved for the wound care. The nurse stated the collagen is porous and it would not stick to the wound from
the 4 x 4 and stated that she could not use a tongue depressor and did not bring a cotton tipped applicator
or a tongue depressor, so she used her finger.
Review of the active physician orders as of 6/1/21 revealed an order to cleanse the sacrum with normal
saline. Apply collagen (mix powder with small amount of normal saline) Apply to wound bed as paste.
Cover with dry dressing, every 3 days and as needed, dated 5/25/21.
Review of the consult wound report dated 5/25/21 revealed the resident's wound was a chronic stage IV
pressure ulcer measuring 0.2 cm x 0.2 cm x 0.4 cm. Undermining has been noted at 12:00 and 1:00 with a
maximum distance of 0.4 cm. No change in wound progression.
Review of the consult wound report dated 5/4/21 revealed the resident's wound was a chronic stage IV
pressure ulcer measuring 0.2 cm x 0.2 cm x 0.4 cm.
Review of the care plan revealed a resident focus area of impairment to skin initiated 2/27/20. Interventions
included to provide treatment per physician order, notify physician upon signs and symptoms of infection or
non healing, initiated on 2/27/20.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6/3/21 at 3:07 p.m. she stated she would expect
the nurse to have all of her supplies and make sure she washed her hands and applied calcium

Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, record review and staff interviews the facility failed to keep kitchen equipment
related to one burner (back right side, burner #4) of an eight-burner stove functioning in a safe, and
operating condition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
During the initial survey of the kitchen on 6/1/2021 at 9:57 a.m., it was observed that the back right side
burner #4, on an eight-burner gas stove's pilot light wound not ignite. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM)
turned the gas burner on, and it was observed that a strong gas odor was present. The CDM then tried to
light the burner with a pocket lighter and it failed to light.
A comprehensive inspection of the kitchen was conducted on 6/3/2021 at 11:07 a.m. During the
observation, the pilot light would not light for burner #4, and the CDM confirmed the presence of a strong
gas odor. The CDM stated, I told maintenance about the burner yesterday. He further revealed that he

Supervisor stated that he was just made me aware of the burner, and the service company will be out
Monday (6/7/21) to take care of it. He stated there was no log, but generally we do a digital work order but
he (CDM) never told me about it.
A subsequent interview was conducted with the CDM on 6/4/2021 at 10:40 a.m. During the interview, the
CDM indicated that since the burner (#4) has been out for a while, an appointment will be made to check
the gas lines, due to a strong gas odor coming from the burner when turned on. The CDM also stated, The
burner has been out for months, we do not use it.
