V20 used disposable wipes and wiped feces from area of his pressure ulcer and around the pressure ulcer, and wiped most of the feces from his rectal area and buttocks, but left some feces on both buttocks. V20 then placed the soiled diaper with soiled wipes inside of it and some feces exposed on the outside of the diaper on the bed. This soiled diaper was sitting right next to the area V18 was performing pressure ulcer care. After V20 cleansed most of fecal material off R32's buttocks, V18 cleansed his pressure ulcer with wound cleanser, then applied a piece of calcium alginate above the pressure ulcer and secured it with a bordered dressing. She removed gloves and donned new gloves without performing hand hygiene. V18 handed V20 a pair of gloves and told him to change your gloves, but he did not perform hand hygiene before donning the gloves. After V18 finished pressure ulcer care, V20 applied a new adult diaper on R32 without washing the feces off his buttocks or cleansing his scrotum, penis or groin. V18 and V19 did not wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to maintain enhanced barrier precautions while providing pressure ulcer treatment and incontinent care. Neither wore a gown during care and neither hand sanitized when changing gloves during care. On 8/2/24 at 9:50 AM V4, Regional Director of Clinical Operations, stated if staff are providing incontinent care to a resident who had been incontinent of bowel and bladder, that staff should ensure all areas touched by incontinence are thoroughly cleaned before putting on a new adult diaper. V4 stated V18 and V20 should have worn a gown and gloves while performing wound care and incontinent care per the enhanced barrier precautions. V4 stated any time a staff changes gloves while providing care they should hand sanitize with alcohol gel or wash their hands with soap and water before donning new gloves. The facility's policy, Enhanced Barrier Precautions Policy, revised 3/28/24 documents, Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) expand the use of PPE and refer to an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) that employs targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. The use of gown and gloves for high-contact resident care activities is indicated for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical devices, regardless of their MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with a CDC- targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. Wounds generally include chronic wounds, not shorter lasting wounds such as skin breaks or skin tears covered with an adhesive bandage or similar dressing. Examples of chronic wounds include, but are not limited to pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and venous stasis ulcers.
