**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review and review of facility policy, the facility failed to maintain infection
control procedures during wound care for Resident #61. This affected one resident (#61) of three residents
reviewed for wound care. The facility census was 97.Findings include:Review of Resident #61 ' s medical
record revealed an admission date of 06/23/25 with diagnoses including Charcot joint (a progressive
destruction of joint related to a loss of sensation from nerve damage), heart failure, diabetes, and muscle
weakness. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #61 was cognitively intact, required moderate assistance for activities of daily living, had venous
or arterial ulcers, and required the application of nonsurgical dressings. Review of a wound care note for
Resident #61, dated 09/11/25, revealed Resident #61 was being seen by the Advanced Practice Nurse
Practitioner for treatment to venous ulcers (chronic full-thickness skin wound that is difficult to heal due to
chronic venous insufficiency) to the right and left posterior lower extremities. Both ulcers were present upon
admission to the facility, and were assessed as improving/healing. The individualized treatment plan
included keeping the wounds clean and dry, avoiding contamination and dressing changes as ordered.
Review of the physician orders for Resident #61, dated 09/11/25, revealed orders to cleanse both lower
extremities with normal saline, apply alginate (a dressing that helps promote wound healing), apply an
abdominal pad (an absorbent bandage), wrap with gauze, and then wrap with an elasticized bandage. The
dressing changes were to be completed daily and as needed.Observation on 09/17/25 at 11:47 A.M. with
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #208 and Registered Nurse (RN) #210 of wound care and dressing
changes for Resident #61 revealed the following: the supplies were gathered for the dressing change, a
clean barrier was placed on the residents bedside table and supplies placed on the barrier following proper
technique. LPN #208 and RN #210 performed hand hygiene then donned appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) that included gloves. RN #210 picked up and held the right leg of Resident #61 with
gloved hands directly touching the residents bare skin. LPN# 208 cleansed the wound, picked up the clean
dressing and applied the dressing to the wound using her gloved hands. RN #210 then gently lowered the
leg and assisted the resident to put a shoe and sock onto the right foot. LPN #208 then took off the gloves,
did not perform hand hygiene, and put on a new pair of gloves. RN #210 then picked up the left leg without
a glove change and held the left leg in direct contact with the residents skin while LPN #208 performed the
wound cleansing and dressing application to the left leg with her gloved hands. RN #210 then lowered the
leg and assisted the resident to put on the remaining sock and shoe. After all trash was disposed of, the
barrier removed from the bedside table, and the PPE was removed, both nurses washed their hands.
Interview on 09/17/25 at 12:01 P.M. with LPN #208 and RN #210 verified no hand hygiene was performed
after the glove change between right and left leg dressing application by LPN #208, and that no glove
change or hand hygiene was performed between holding the right and left leg by RN #210.Review of the
