Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure staff followed enhanced barrier precautions by not wearing the required personal protective equipment (PPE) when emptying an indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag for 1 of 2 residents (R1) reviewed for infection control in the sample of 3. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: R1's Order Summary Report printed on 3/5/25 showed R1 was on enhanced barrier precautions because of an indwelling urinary catheter. R1's Care Plan with an initiated date of 6/27/24 showed R1 was at high risk for infection because of a catheter. Listed under interventions was, PPE to be worn during high contact activities: gown, and gloves and shield when risk of splash is present (i.e. emptying a catheter, working with feeding tube, etc.). R1's name appeared on the December 2024 infection control log. The log indicated R1 received an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection. On 3/5/25 at 8:12 AM, on the door of R1's room was a sign indicating R1 was on enhanced barrier precautions. R1 had an indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag hanging on the bedframe that contained urine. V3 (Certified Nursing Assistant) was emptying R1's indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag. V3 had on gloves. V3 did not have on a gown or a splash guard. On 3/5/25 at 11:50 AM, V7 (Infection Control Nurse) said enhanced barrier precautions are an infection control intervention. V7 added that when staff empty an indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag, they should wear the following PPE: gloves, gown, and a splash guard. The facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy with a revision date of 8/15/24 showed the purpose is to reduce the transmission of novel or targeted multi-drug-resistant organisms .Enhanced Barrier Precautions require the use of gown and glove during high contact resident care activities. High contact resident care activities include Device care and use of an indwelling medical device such as urinary catheter . the same policy showed gowns and gloves are the minimum level of PPE. Additional PPE may be required depending on the situation/resident (e.g., face shield may be used when splashes and sprays are likely to occur).
