limited assistance of one staff with ADL's.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of the physician orders for Resident #80 revealed an order dated 09/06/23 for strict room isolation
with all services provided in the room due to positive COVID-19 infection.
Interview on 09/08/23 at 10:25 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the Infection Preventionist (IP) for
the facility confirmed staff should wear an N-95 mask when providing care to a COVID-19 positive resident.
Observation on 09/08/23 at 12:09 P.M. revealed Resident #80's door was shut and there was a sign on the
door indicating resident was on droplet precautions and there was an isolation cart outside the door.
Further observation revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #350 entered Resident #80's room
carrying a lunch tray. Prior to entering the room STNA #350 donned gown, glove, surgical mask and face
shield.
Interview on 09/08/23 at 12:16 P.M. of STNA #350 confirmed she entered Resident #80's room to deliver
his lunch tray and to provide care wearing a gown, gloves, surgical mask and face shield. STNA #350
confirmed Resident #80 was COVID-19 positive. STNA #350 thought wearing an N-95 mask was optional
and that a surgical mask was an acceptable substitute.
3. Review of the medical record for Resident #61 revealed an admission date of 06/01/23 with diagnoses
including, anxiety disorder, cerebral infarction, depression, hypertension, and DM.
Review of the MDS for Resident #61 dated 07/29/23 revealed resident was cognitively intact and required
limited assistance with ADL's.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #61 revealed an order dated 09/04/23 for strict room isolation
with all services provided in the room due to positive COVID-19 infection.
Observation on 09/08/23 at 12:19 P.M. revealed Physical Therapist (PT) #510 was providing stand by
assistance with ambulation to Resident #61 in the hallway. Resident #61 was wearing a surgical mask and
was walking toward the exit. PT #510 was wearing a surgical mask with an N-95 mask on top of the
surgical mask.
Interview on 09/08/23 at 12:19 P.M. of PT #510 confirmed Resident #61 was COVID-19 positive and he

mask on top of a surgical mask.
Interview on 09/08/23 at 1:50 P.M. with the DON confirmed an N-95 mask should not be placed on top of a
surgical mask because this practice defeats the purpose of the N-95 and does not allow the N-95 to seal
properly thus increasing the risk of transmission of infection.
4. Review of the medical record for Resident #58 revealed an admission date of 07/07/22 with diagnoses
including seizures, insomnia, mood disorder, hypertension, and hemiplegia and hemiparesis following
cerebral infarction.
