R11's care plan dated 2/5/26 documents in part: R11 is a risk for tor acquiring or transmitting infection due to wound . A. Follow established infection prevention protocol including Enhanced Barrier Precautions. On 02/09/26 at 11:26 am, observed R11's room with a sign on the door that read Enhanced Barrier Precaution: Everyone must: clean their hands, including before entering and when leaving the room. Providers and staff must also wear gloves and a gown for the following high contact resident care activities. R11 was observed in bed awake, being assisted with feeding for R11's lunch meal by V4 (CNA). Surveyor did not observe V4 wearing a gown while assisting R11 with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) feeding and without performing hand hygiene when V4 left R11's EBP room. When surveyor brought this observation to V4, she stated (As she continued to walk down the unit), She (referring to R11) gets an early lunch tray. I don't have to wear a gown while I'm in her room feeding her. On 2/9/26 at 1:39 pm, V3 (Quality Director/ Infection Preventionist/Registered Nurse) stated that she is the facility's infection preventionist for last year at the facility. V3 then stated that residents are placed on Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP) as a form of transmission-based precaution for those residents with history of MDRO (Multi Drug Resistant Organism). V3 further explained that residents with EBP have assistive medical devices such as an indwelling medical device, IV (intravenous) access, eternal feeding, tracheostomy and wounds. V3 then stated if staff perform direct patient care such as changing diapers, linen, transferring a patient, providing incontinence care, the nurse is performing wound care dressing or staff is handling indwelling medical device, staff are required to use PPE (gown and gloves) as well as perform hand hygiene. V3 further stated that PPE required for EBP is hand hygiene, donning a gown and gloves before patient care and in between patient care if gloves are visibly soiled. V3 then explained that during dining if the resident is on EBP and being assisted with feeding in the resident's room, the staff should be wearing PPE (gown and gloves) and perform hand hygiene before entering and exiting the EBP room. V3 stated that PPE is utilized with EBP residents as a barrier for the staff and patient to prevent spread of infection and particularly if there is a colonization of bacteria found with the resident. V3 finally explained that there will be a potential for break of chain of infections and staff can be a carrier of infection from one patient to another if the staff does not perform appropriate hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE when caring for EBP resident. V3 explained that staff are in-serviced regarding EBP upon hire, annually, and during direct observation from staff observed not following the proper precautions. The facility's document dated 6/2025 and titled Standard and Transmission-Based Precautions documents, in part: Policy: It is our policy to take appropriate precautions to prevent transmission of pathogens, based on the pathogens' model of transmission .
