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, medical record review, staff interview and policy review the facility failed to ensure enhance
barrier precautions (EBP) were initiated for incontinence and wound care for a resident who had an open
wound. This affected one (#13) of three residents reviewed for incontinence care and wound care. The
census was 74.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Medical record review for Resident #13 revealed an admission date of 06/09/22. Medical diagnoses
included progressive neurological disorder, dementia, and Alzheimer's.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #13 was severely
cognitively impaired. Functional status was supervision or touching for eating, dependent for toileting, bed
mobility, and transfers. She was always incontinent for bladder and had a colostomy.
Review of the progress notes dated 08/10/24 revealed a reoccurring open area to the coccyx identified as a
stage two was discovered and a treatment was put into place.
Review of the physician orders from 08/10/24 through 08/26/24 revealed there wasn't any order for EBP for
the resident.
Observation of wound care and incontinence care for Resident #13 on 08/26/24 at 8:00 A.M. revealed there
wasn't a sign on the door for EBP and no cart for the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) #128 provided the wound care and didn't have a gown on. The State Tested Nursing
Aide (STNA) #139 provided the incontinence care and didn't have on a gown.
Interview with the LPN #128 and STNA #139 on 08/26/24 at 8:30 A.M. revealed they didn't know the
resident should be in EBP. They admitted they didn't wear a gown for the treatment or the incontinence
care. They confirmed there wasn't a sign on the door and there was no order for EBP's for Resident #13.
The nurse revealed she thought since the resident didn't have an infection or her wound wasn't chronic she
didn't have to be in EBP.
Review of the policy entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions not dated revealed to implement EBP in the
following situations:
a) Residents with infection or colonization with a novel or targeted Multidrug Resistant Organisms (MRDO)
when Contact Precautions do not apply.

thick black substance, scuff marks on the walls, and holes where pictures used to hang, and holes with
nails sticking out of the wall. The bathroom floor was sticky, and room walls have black marks on them. The
curtains in the room on the windows were dusty and wrinkled. On the inside bathroom door there is a
substance that ran down the door that had dried.

holes in the walls with nails sticking out of the walls. The walls had black marks on them. The bathroom had
a dusty vent in the ceiling, black marks on the walls, floors were stained and the door going into the
bathroom looked like it had some kind of substance running down both sides that had dried.
Observation of Resident #75's room on 08/20/24 at 11:02 A.M. revealed there were black marks on the
walls throughout the room. In the bathroom it was dirty by the handrails, and coming into the room there
