Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 follow contact isolation protocols by failing to
place correct signage on resident room door regarding isolation precautions, they failed to ensure that a
resident on contact isolation was placed in an appropriate room, and they failed to ensure that a resident's
breathing mask was properly contained in accordance with infection control protocols. These failures
applied to two (R3 and R4) of six residents reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
R4 is [AGE] years old and have resided at the facility since 2019. Face sheet listed the following medical
diagnosis among others: Local infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, abnormal posture, personal
history of malignant neoplasm of the bladder, dependence on renal dialysis, methicillin resistant
staphylococcus aureus infection as cause of disease classified elsewhere, methicillin resistant
staphylococcus aureus infection unspecified site, pressure induced deep tissue damage of contagious site
of back, buttock, and hip etc.
04/22/25 1:15AM, R4 was observed in his room with another resident (R3) sharing the same room. An
enhanced barrier precaution signage was noted at the door and some personal protective equipment (PPE)
was noted behind the door. R4 was sitting on a motorized wheelchair, awake, alert and oriented and stated
that he is doing okay. R4 said that he gets wound care at night, they do it when he lays down and it is okay
with him. R4 added that he gets breathing treatment and normally does it himself after breakfast or before,
he also takes his two inhalers after the breathing treatment. A breathing machine was noted at the bedside
with the breathing mask open to air and not contained.
R4 was observed during the survey moving around the facility in his motorized wheelchair and even

Review of facility list for residents on isolation dated February 2025 listed R4 as being on contact isolation
for MRSA of wound and C-diff. Isolation was started on 2/24/2025 and the end of isolation was documented
as on going. Care plan initiated 3/1/2025 states: R4 is on contact isolation d/t MRSA/ C diff. Goal states: R4
will remain in his room while on contact isolation. Staff will adhere to the contact isolation while providing
care to prevent spread of infection. Interventions include Provide education to the resident as able and
family on Contact Isolation protocol and rationale, Staff to wear PPE's when providing care per facility

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
04/23/25 11:30AM, V3 (infection prevention nurse) said that R4 used to be on contact isolation for MRSA of
the wound, he went to the hospital and the isolation was discontinued at the hospital. Resident is just on
enhanced barrier precaution now, the admitting nurse called the hospital who told her that that the isolation
was discontinued, V3 told the nurse to document the information from the hospital.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of resident's record did not show any physician order or progress note stating that R4's contact
isolation was discontinued. Surveyor requested for the information from facility, but none was provided.
On 4/24/2025 at 12:16PM, V2 (DON) said that they could not fid any documentation that R4's contact
isolation was discontinued. V2 added that R4 should have been in a private room and the contact isolation
precaution sign should have been placed on the door. V2 also said that residents breathing masks should
be contained after use.
Transmission based precaution policy provided by V2 (DON) revised September 2022, states that
transmission-based precaution are initiated when a resident develop signs and symptoms of transmissible
infection, arrives for admission with symptoms of infection or have laboratory confirmed infection ad is at
risk of transmitting the infection to other residents.
Under contact precaution, the policy states in part that contact precautions are implemented for residents
known or suspected to be infected with microorganisms that can be transmitted by direct contact with the
resident or indirect contact with environmental surfaces or resident-care items in the resident's
environment. Contact precautions are also used in situations when a is experiencing wound drainage, fecal
incontinence or diarrhea, or other discharges from the body that cannot be contained and suggest an
increased potential for extensive environmental contamination and risk of transmission of a pathogen even
before a specific organism has been identified.
Under discontinuation of isolation the policy states that transmission-based precaution is discontinued
when it is determined that the resident's condition no longer indicate such precaution. Residents remains
on appropriate transmission-based precaution until discontinued by the attending physician or the infection
preventionist.
