F 0880 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, record review and interview, the facility failed to notify the receiving facility when a resident with Influenza A was sent to an outside appointment or reschedule the appointment as needed appropriately. The facility also failed to use enhanced barrier precautions appropriately during wound care. This affected two (Residents #17 and #60) of three residents reviewed for infection control. The total census was 91. Findings include:1. Record review of Resident #60 revealed he was admitted to the facility 11/29/24 and had diagnoses including prostate cancer and neuromuscular bladder. His minimum data set assessment on 12/29/25 identified him to have moderate cognitive impairment. A nasal swab result dated and reported 12/28/25 tested him positive for Influenza A. Review of his orders and treatment administration record revealed him to have been on droplet precautions for influenza from 12/29/25 to 01/05/26. There was no documentation of him going out to an appointment on 12/31/25. Interview with Veterans Affairs (VA) Social Worker #701 on 02/17/26 at 10:40 A.M. revealed the facility sent Resident #60 to a VA appointment on 12/31/25 without giving notice the resident was on droplet isolation for testing positive for Influenza A. An attempt to interview Resident #60 on 02/18/26 at 11:36 A.M. revealed he was not interviewable. Interview with VA Registered Nurse (RN) #702 on 02/17/26 at 4:09 P.M. revealed Resident #60 came for his appointment on 12/31/25 with no notice that he tested positive for the flu. After the appointment, his VA doctor saw that he had the flu while checking his chart. Resident #60 attends appointments on an oncology floor and so everyone including him wore masks as part of their general policy, however it was not an urgent appointment and would have been rescheduled had the VA staff known he had the flu. She said the event presented a risk to other patients on that unit, many of whom were immunocompromised. Interview with Unit Manager Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #801 and the Director of Nursing on 02/18/26 at 10:25 A.M. revealed the facility sent Resident #60 to his appointment with paper orders, including that he was on isolation for influenza.

Record review of VA documentation revealed a physician note dated 12/31/25 which identified Resident #60 as having a history of dementia. Resident #60 presented unaccompanied from the nursing home, was oriented to name only, and was not able to participate in conversation. A VA social worker note dated 01/06/26 revealed Resident #60 was sent to an appointment on 12/31/25 after testing positive for the flu. Per her interview with a facility representative, the resident was to have been isolated from 12/29/25 to 01/07/26. The VA was not made aware of this until after the appointment. Record review of the facility's infection control log revealed Resident #60 was identified to have Influenza A starting on 12/28/25 and resolving on 01/03/26.Record review of the facility's undated droplet isolation policy revealed staff were to wear masks when working within three feet of an isolated resident, to limit unnecessary transport of the resident, and to have them wear surgical masks when essential transportation required them to leave the room. Interview with the Administrator on 02/17/26 at 4:40 P.M. verified Resident #60 was sent to an appointment with influenza A with no advance notice given to the receiving facility. 2.
