During an interview on 11/27/2023 at 11:07 AM, Staff C, LPN, stated, I did not verify for blood return prior to hanging the medicine. I should have cleaned the needleless connector longer and let it dry before giving the flush or antibiotic. During an interview on 11/29/2023 at 1:00 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, Staff should attempt to verify midline placement and clean the needleless connector before giving antibiotics. They should follow our procedures. Review of the facility policy and procedures titled Intermittent infusion device flushing and locking with the last revision date of 8/21/2023 reads, Introduction: An intermittent infusion device consists of an IV catheter with a needleless connector attached. This device helps maintain venous access in a patient who receives IV medications or solutions intermittently or in a patient who might need medications should an emergency arise. An intermittent flush device requires flushing before each infusion to assess vascular access device function, after each infusion to prevent mixing of incompatible medications and solutions, and after blood sampling to clear the device of blood and debris .

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Hospital-acquired condition alert: Keep in mind that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services considers vascular catheter-associated infection a hospital acquired condition because it can reasonably [be] prevented using a variety of best practices. Make sure to follow evidence-based infection prevention practices, such as performing hand hygiene, using sterile no-touch technique, and performing a vigorous mechanical scrub of needleless connectors to reduce the risk of vascular catheter-associated infections . Implementation . Assess the intermittent infusion device insertion site to ensure that it's free from signs of infection, infiltration, and phlebitis . Perform a vigorous mechanical scrub of the needleless connector for at least 5 seconds using an antiseptic pad. Allow it to dry completely. While maintaining sterility of the syringe tip, attach a prefilled 10-ml [milliliter] syringe or a syringe designed to generate lower injection pressure containing preservative-free normal saline solution to the needleless connector. Unclamp the intermittent infusion device and aspirate slowly for a blood return that's the color and consistency of whole blood.
