F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Observation and interview on 12/04/23 at 8:46 A.M. revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #831 exiting Resident #21 room and standing at the medication cart outside of the room. LPN #831 was observed to be wearing an N95 mask and no other PPE. LPN #831 revealed Resident #21 was positive for COVID-19 and staff were to wear a mask, gown, and gloves.

ADON #825 revealed any staff entering COVID-19 positive rooms, should wear full PPE including mask, gloves, and gowns. Review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention document related to droplet precautions revealed everyone must clean their hands, including before entering and when leaving the room, make sure their eyes, nose and mouth were fully covered before room entry and remove face protection before room exit. Further review revealed staff must don proper PPE when entering a COVID-19 positive room that included a gown, N95 mask, face shield and/or goggles, and gloves. Review of the documents revealed the facility did not implement the protocol. Review of the facility document titled Isolation- Categories of Transmission-Based Precautions, revised October 2018, revealed the facility had a policy in place that transmission-based precautions would be initiated when a resident develops signs and symptoms and at risk of transmitting the infection to other residents. Review of the document revealed appropriate notification would be placed on the room entrance door, front of the chart to alert staff and visitors, and gown, gloves and goggles would be worn. Review of the document revealed the facility did not implement the policy. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00148779.
