the building or look in a blue book at the nursing station that has the type of isolation a resident is in. The
DON confirmed the PPE cart is placed inside the room and there is no distinction at the door for which
resident in the room are in EBP. The DON stated the cart would be placed inside the room on the side the
resident resided. The DON confirmed there is no additional signage at the door for a resident in EBP, staff
would need to look in the cart inside of the room to determine what they would need wear for EBP or look
in the resident's chart. The DON stated there is no order for EBP, it is only documented in the resident care
plan. The DON confirmed there are currently nine (#13, #18, #20, #30, #34, #39, #42, #43 and #56)
resident residing in the facility who are in EBP. Review of the facility policy named, Enhanced Barrier
Precautions, dated 08/2022 revealed, staff are trained prior to caring for residents on EBP's and signs are
posted on the door or wall outside the resident room to alert staff the resident requires EBP. EBP's employ
targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities. This deficiency is based on
incidental findings discovered during the course of this complaint investigation.
