**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, staff interview and policy review the facility failed to ensure a safe
transfer was performed. This affected one resident (#60) of three residents reviewed for transfers. The
census was 75.
Findings included:
Medical record review for Resident #60 revealed an admission date of 03/09/23. Diagnoses included
Parkinson's disease, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular accident.
Review of the care plan for Resident #60 dated 03/10/23 revealed Resident #60 had an activity of daily
living (ADL) self-care deficit as evidenced by the inability to care for self related to physical limitations.
Interventions included to transfer with two-person assistance with the use of a gait belt.

assistance of two-persons for bed mobility, transfers, and toilet use.
Observation of a transfer for Resident #60 on 06/13/23 at 9:40 A.M. revealed the State Tested Nursing
Assistant (STNA) #140 used her hands to pull on the resident's right arm and then used her other hand
underneath the left arm to pull Resident #60 up in bed to a sitting position on the side of the bed. The STNA
#140 placed her right and left hands under the resident's armpits, raised the resident up and placed her in
the wheelchair. No other staff members were in the room at this time.
Interview on 06/13/23 at 9:45 A.M., STNA #140 verified she should have used a two-person transfer and
used a gait belt when she transferred Resident #60, but she was nervous.

for transfers for the resident if the care plan says so.
Interview with the Unit Manager (UM) #108 on 06/13/23 at 1:20 P.M., verified Resident #60 required
two-person assistance for bed mobility and transfers.
Review of the policy titled Gait Belts, undated revealed gait belts will be available for use during all standing
pivot transfers and when ambulating a resident who requires contact guard or physical assist.

Residents Affected - Few
Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, observation, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure infection prevention
measures were followed during incontinence care to prevent potential infection. This affected one resident
(#60) of one resident reviewed for incontinence care of 45 residents who were incontinent. The facility
identified there were 45 residents who were incontinent. The census was 75.
Findings included:
Medical record review for Resident #60 revealed an admission date of 03/09/23. Diagnoses included
Parkinson's disease, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular accident.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #60 required extensive
assistance of two-persons for bed mobility, transfers, and toilet use. The resident was always incontinent of
bowel and bladder.
Observation on 06/13/23 at 9:30 A.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Aide (STNA) #140 provided peri-care
for the resident. The STNA #140 washed her hands, donned gloves, wiped the front peri area of the
resident. STNA #140 turned Resident #60 on to the right side and proceeded to clean the stool from the
resident's bottom, she turned the resident further onto the right side which revealed more stool on the
upper part of the buttocks the STNA had missed. STNA #140 stuck her right gloved hand into the stool. The
STNA #140 continued cleaning the stool off of the resident. STNA #140 placed a clean adult brief on
Resident #60, pulled the curtain back with both gloved hands, removed clean clothes out of the closet,
placed clean pants on the resident, and placed her in the wheelchair. Once the STNA #140 had Resident
#60 in her wheelchair the STNA removed the residents' shirt and placed a clean shirt on the resident. At no
time was STNA #140 observed changing her gloves until she had the resident ready for the day.
Interview with the STNA #140 on 06/13/23 at 9:45 A.M., verified she probably had stool on her gloved
hands when she found more stool on the top portion of the buttocks. She said she should have changed
her gloves and washed her hands before she dressed Resident #60 and helped her out of bed. She said
this was not her practice at all, she was nervous with someone watching her.
