Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions
(EBP) for two (R1, R2) of three residents reviewed for infection control in the sample list of three.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy dated 1/20/24 documents EBP is an intervention
designed to reduce the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms by using gowns and gloves during
high contact resident care activities for residents with indwelling medical devices or chronic wounds.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Consideration for Use of Enhanced Barrier Precautions in
Skilled Nursing Facilities dated June 2021 documents Facilities should develop a method to identify
residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices, and post clear signage outside of resident rooms
indicating the type of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required and defining high risk resident care
activities. Gowns and gloves should be available outside of each resident room, and alcohol-based hand
rub should be available for every resident room (ideally both inside and outside of the room).
On 6/23/25 at 8:15AM there was an EBP sign posted on R1's room door that indicated to wear gown and
gloves for high contact resident care activities that included toileting, dressing, and transfers.
On 6/23/25 at 8:30AM there was no EBP sign posted on R2's room door that indicated the facility is to wear
gown and gloves for high contact resident care activities that included toileting, dressing and transfers due
to R2's indwelling catheter.
On 6/23/25 at 10:00AM V5 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) entered 's room and emptied R1's catheter.
R1 was on Contact Isolation for E-Coli Infection and V5 drained the urine out of the catheter bag and
emptied the urine into the shared toilet with R1's roommate.
On 6/23/25 at 10:30AM, V5 was asked about EBP and V5 stated nobody ever wears them and when asked
if V5 cleaned the toilet after pouring the urine into the toilet, V5 stated no, but I should have.
On 6/23/25 at 12:30PM, V7 Registered Nurse and V6 CNA provided R2's urinary catheter cleaning/care.
R1 and R2's Physician Orders documents EBP due to urinary catheter, UTI and R2's wounds.

F 0880
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
R1's Electronic Medical Record (EMR) section titled Diagnosis documents R1 on 6/18/25 has the diagnosis
of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) with E-Coli and has a catheter which is why she is on EBP precautions.
R2's EMR documents R2 receives hospice services and was readmitted on [DATE] from the hospital and
has an indwelling catheter with also skin breakdown, reason for his EBP status.
Residents Affected - Few
On 6/23/25 at 11:13 AM, V7 stated The reason we did not have the equipment carts outside the rooms is
because she was admitted over the weekend and no EBP was put out.
On 6/23/25 at 2:30PM, V1 stated the admitting nurse should have known the resident needed to be on EBP
when admitted due to her chronic wounds and catheter.
