Findings include:
An October 2010 policy titled Wound Care documents the steps in the procedure of changing a wound
dressing include: 4. Put on exam gloves. Loosen tape and remove dressing. 5. Pull glove over dressing and
discard into appropriate receptacle. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
R3's Physician Order Sheet (POS) documents a treatment of heel protectors on at all times. The order
documents, Schedule: Every day at 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM; 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM. Protocol: As tolerated, (R3)
does not like the heel protectors and often prefers pillow instead for offloading.
R3's POS documents an order dated 05/09/24 for a 0.25% sodium hypochlorite solution to be applied to
R3's right heel with moist gauze only over eschar area (cut to fit), apply barrier around the wound, cover
with an abdominal pad and gauze wrap, change daily.
On 06/04/24 at 3:55 PM a progress note written by V3, Nurse Practitioner, documents R3 has a right heel
unstageable pressure ulcer with suspected deep tissue injury.
On 06/04/24 at 11:39 AM, V2, Director of Nursing entered R3's room, asked if R3 was having pain and
proceeded to remove R3's blankets from the end of his bed exposing R3's feet which were in socks. R3's
heels were not elevated using offloading boots or pillows. V2 stated to R3, We need to get your heel
protectors on you.
V2 removed R3's sock from his right foot which showed a soiled foam bordered dressing on his inner heel
with writing on it that documented, 05/30/ (2024). V2 was asked what date was on R3's right heel dressing.
V3 stated, 05/30. V2 stated, They're good for three to five days. V2 was asked how often the sodium
hypochlorite dressing was to be applied. V2 stated it was to be changed daily but nursing can just peel back
the foam bordered gauze and replace it.
Manufacturer's instructions of the foam bordered dressing document, If reused, performance of the product
may deteriorate, cross contamination may occur.
On 06/04/24 at 2:12 PM, V2 confirmed R3's order was for the sodium hypochlorite on moist gauze (cut to fit
eschar area only), followed by an abdominal pad and gauze wrap. This dressing was to be changed daily.
V2 confirmed that nursing was peeling back and reusing the foam bordered gauze for the six days it was in
place.

Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy dated August 2022 documents, 1. Enhanced barrier precautions
(EBP's) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO's) to residents. 2. EBP's
employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when contact precautions
do not otherwise apply. 3 Examples of high-contact resident care activities requiring the use of gown and
gloves for EBPs include: a. dressing; b. bathing/showering; c. transferring; d. providing hygiene; e. changing
linens; f. changing briefs or assisting with toileting; g. device care or use and h. wound care (any opening
requiring a dressing). 4. EBS's are indicated (when contact precautions do not otherwise apply) for
residents infected or colonized with the following: a. Pan-resistant organisms; b. Carbapanemase-producing
carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales; c. Carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant
Pseudomonas; d. Carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii; e. Candidia
auris; f. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); g. ESBL-producing Enterobacterales; h.
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE); i. Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and j.
Drur-resistant Streptococcus pneumonia. 5. EBP's are indicated (when contact precautions do not
otherwise apply) for residents with wounds and/or indwelling medical devices regardless of MDRO status.
V1, Administrator, provided an undated list of residents requiring enhanced barrier precautions. R1, R2 and
R8 have wounds. R4, R5, R9, R10, R11, R12, R14, R15, R18, R19, R20 have indwelling catheters. R3 has
an indwelling catheter and wounds. R16 has a feeding tube.
R2's Physician order dated 04/04/24 documents a treatment order for R2's right buttock stage two pressure
ulcer to cleanse wound with mild soap and water. Gently pat dry. Apply thin layer of ointment around the
wound to protect it. Apply a silver product, cover with dry gauze, an abdominal pad and secure with tape.
